PLAN
School
Oblivious of
engineering
as a career option
+
generally awkward
about bio labs
Pre-College
Wanted to become
a writer/journalist.
Still clueless about
engineering.
College
Enrolled for
CMS
(CompSci/Math/Stat)
at Mount Carmel College.
Was frequent at
debates & lit clubs.
Grad School
Choosing a BSc left me
non-eligible for most
exams, and I wasn't complaining 😀
Wrote JEST and got
lucky with a
direct PhD offer at IMSc.
Inspiration
Chance encounter with a
biography of Paul Erdos.
Found his obsession with
math very curious.
AFTERMATH
Still mostly clueless,
but grateful to be doing
things I ❤️
every day.
