The summer is so nice. I get to tackle my TODOs. On the topic of TODOs, go check out Idea Garden, where I send all my ideas so I always have a source of inspiration. It was a very fun build! Alot of illustration, backend setup and vibe-coding! Very different from any of the other... Continue Reading →
Ceramics, Robotics, and More. Semester 4.
Halfway done! I have alot of mixed feelings about this - as a junior I get to take a lot more cool classes, I have a better idea of the things I can do, and more importantly, the things I can't or aren't worth it. I have a lovely group of people I hang out... Continue Reading →
Ceramics, Robotics, and more. An Update.
I really wish I were more consistent about posting here, but I wanted to pop back in with an update on what’s been going on. This semester has been incredibly busy. I’m a sophomore now, which means I get to take classes that are more directly tied to my major. The workload and difficulty have... Continue Reading →
Binary Display Watch
I made this watch this summer break because I've been wanting to get better at PCB design and level up from programming microcontroller boards to bare chips. I spent the last two and a half months interning at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. During my internship, I worked on developing a calibration protocol and... Continue Reading →
A Semester of Ceramics
I completed my first semester at Princeton this December. It was an incredibly hard choice choosing to go so far away instead of IITk, but I'm glad I ended up going. One of the classes I took this semester was Introduction to Ceramics. The goal of the class was to teach learners the basics of... Continue Reading →
Ray: The Smart UV Tracking Necklace

This was my first ever hackathon, and I went into it with no expectations. I was honestly astounded by how much my peers were capable of and how much you can build when you focus on a single problem for 36... Continue Reading →
Van Gogh’s Almond Blossoms as Clay Earrings

This past week, I made a dragon in the theme of the Almond Blossoms set of paintings by Van Gogh. These earrings were made from the leftover clay from my dragon. This blog... Continue Reading →
IKSHANA: A Real-Time Text-to-Braille Convertor
Last summer, I built IKSHANA with two other team members, Vani Bedi and Rudra Gupta, as part of a five-week bootcamp hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. The program gave us access to fabrication facilities like 3D printers and laser cutters, as well as a wide range of tools, components, and lab space that made rapid... Continue Reading →
My Experience as a Page Editor

I recently worked on a page written exclusively by these children for my school newspaper. Page 10 is the "Prompt Box" page where writers respond to a prompt. On the... Continue Reading →
The Starry Night as Clay Earrings
I've never been much of a painting-aficionado. Mostly because I cannot paint. At all. And most famous paintings have left me severely underwhelmed. Van Gogh's paintings, however, have always appealed to me. I learnt about Van Gogh when an aunt of mine told me a story about a man who cut off his own ear.... Continue Reading →
