So, here I'll essentially write about who I am. I've been putting off this section, because I really didn't know what to put here, and I didn't have much time. So, hopefully I'll fill up this page, soon.
- Well, first of all, I'm Indian, and proud to be it. I follow the religion of Hinduism. I also love Indian food. This also means I'm a strict vegetarian (I don't eat any meat at all!). I'm constantly listening to Indian music (it's really good), and I watch a lot of Indian movies (even though most are rip-offs of Hollywood Movies that were ripped off of Japanese Movies).
- My passion is Rubik's Cube (yes I know that it's nerdy). I'm an expert at speedsolving it. I haven't had much time to practice lately, but my average time is around 40-45 seconds, and my record is 32.5 seconds. I've probably slowed down a bit recently due to lack of practice, but I'm still near that range.
- I'm not much of an athletic person. However, I do practice karate, at the Academy of Traditional Karate in Wilmington, MA. I've been doing it for about the past 9 years, and I earned my black belt January of this year.
- Academically, I'm pretty studious (isn't everyone in this program). I like math and science (one more thing I have in common with everybody in TEAMS). I'm also pretty good at Spanish. I consider myself pretty smart, but I really don't have much common sense and I lack proper time management skills (in simple terms , I'm a procrastinator).
