15 y.o. Male. Ranchi, India.
I love learning, thinking, especially about myself.1
Random Lists
These are some random lists that I want to put out there-
Books I've since 2026.
| Book | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Curfew Nights, Basharat Peer | ? | currently reading |
| The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Leo Tolstoy | 7/10 | This was the first book I read after a long time. I made me think a lot about how I behave and my personality as general, specially around the people that care for me. |
| The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho | 5/10 | Felt like a teenager wrote a story and wanted to include some philosophy on life and growth but did so using short one-line metaphors which are poorly executed. |
What I Own
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Victus 15 inch 2024 | What I use daily for content consumption. It has served me well |
| X370 Thinkpad 2018 | What I use to make notes for JEE in coaching. Got it really cheap at an auction |
| PC and Dual Monitors | I don't really use it that much these days, I just use it as an archive at this point. The two monitors were an era |
| Raspberry Pi 5 | Made lots of cool projects, last used for cloud server. |
| OnePlus 7T | My phone, Its a 6 year old handmedown, works great. |
| OnePlus Nord TWS | Don't really use them much, only for calls. |
| XP Pen Digital Tablet | I don't use it anymore as I got the thinkpad. |
| Portronics Hydra Keyboard | Love the white look, keys aren't that worth it for the price, could have gotten a worse looking better sounding one. |
| Portronics Toad One Mouse | Love how this cheap mouse has lasted 2 years and works perfectly. I would never go back from a 6 button. |
| HP 419 Ink Printer | I would have much preferred a laser printer as I majorly used to print PDFs, but I also love printing some stickers and photos so its worth it ig. |
| Ibanez GRG 170DX | Electric guitar, got it in May. |
| ZOOM G2X4 | Guitar multi-effects pedal, I wouldn't recommend it. |
| Yamaha FS80C | My first guitar, got it in May 2024. |
| Some Suzuki Mini Classical Guitar | Stole it from a friend and repaired its broken neck (proud of myself). |
| GreenSoul Monster Chair | Like the ergonomics, but its gas lift is very short, or maybe my table is too high up. |
| Drawboard Premium | It is worth it if you consider the cost of physical books and stationary supplies |
What I wanna learn
Knowledge about something or some skill I would love to have
| Stuff | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sketching | there is something about sitting in an exam hall, finishing your paper a half hour early, sketching some girls behind the paper and thinking about that one girl. This is something that childhood should have probably taught me, but I was too busy surfing youtube to get creative. |
| Singing | I learnt to play the guitar, I could do this too. |
| Writing | My english is shit, how I express myself in words is even more shit. |
What I Want
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| The Waste Books | I can't find this book anywhere in India. I have its pdf in french. If I still can't find it, I would convince myself to learn french just to read this book |
| MP3 Player | I very much like the vibe and the idea of ditching spotify + I can take it to school and listen audiobooks. |
| Would probably get it sometime this month | |
| I have went to 4 headphones till date. I think I will get earphones this time as they are so much easier to carry. I just want a good mic | |
| Drafting Pencil | This is something that I do use daily, a pencil. I already do have many mechanical pencils. I just like the feel of metal instead of cheap plastic. |
| Thermal Printer | This is the only way to explain the reason. I have a few project ideas in mind. |
| Cool party trick. I have wanted this after watching a video from Mike Shake 4 years ago. Edit: Enjoying it a lot, make me want to learn more micro hobbies |
Cool People You Need to Check Out
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sarah Davis Baker | I found her through Nebula, one of my favorite video creators. Her videos are the perfect amount of niche, interesting, and of internet culture. |
| Paul Graham | I really love his essays. He inspires me to write. "If you're thinking without writing, you only think you're thinking." |
| Tom Scott | There could be a lot of video essayists here, but I would feel like he is different. For most of them, I first look at the what the video is about, then see who has made it. But for him I would watch whatever nonsense he has posted just cause I know its going to be something interesting. It's sad to see him go like this. I still read his newsletters. |
