Hobbies & Interests

// The things that keep me curious, creative, and human

# music --instruments

Guitar

Playing guitar for years - one of my favorite ways to unwind and express myself. Whether it's fingerpicking acoustic melodies or jamming on an electric, the guitar speaks to my soul.

// Genres: Classical, Rock, Folk

Harmonium

The harmonium has a special place in my heart. Rich, resonant, and deeply emotional. I love exploring Indian classical music and creating my own compositions.

// A different kind of creativity from coding

# chess --analyze

Chess is like programming for the mind. Every game is a new problem to solve, with infinite possibilities and strategies to explore. I love the mental challenge, the deep thinking, and the beautiful complexity of the game.

# anime --favorites

Anime has been a huge part of my life, and I'm not shy about it! I love the storytelling, the artistry, and the way anime explores complex themes with nuance and depth.

genres:
- Psychological Thrillers
- Sci-Fi & Mecha
- Slice of Life
- Fantasy Adventures

What I Love About It

The incredible world-building, character development, and the way anime isn't afraid to tackle deep, philosophical questions. Plus, the animation can be absolutely stunning.

# philosophy --ponder

I'm fascinated by the big questions: What does it mean to live a good life? How do we find meaning? What is consciousness? Philosophy helps me think more deeply about everything - from code architecture to personal decisions.

areas_of_interest:
- Existentialism
- Ethics & Morality
- Philosophy of Mind
- Eastern Philosophy
- Applied Philosophy

Why It Matters

Philosophy isn't just academic curiosity for me - it shapes how I approach problems, relationships, and life itself. It makes me a better thinker and, I hope, a better person.

# ideas --weird --experimental

I love exploring strange ideas, experimenting with new concepts, and thinking outside the box. Whether it's a weird coding project, a philosophical thought experiment, or just brainstorming random concepts - I'm here for it.

Some of my best work (and some of my biggest learning experiences) have come from following weird ideas down rabbit holes.

"The best ideas often seem weird at first. That's how you know they might be worth exploring."
