While I spend a significant portion of my life optimizing C++ code and debugging distributed systems, I do have a life outside of the terminal. This space is dedicated to the things that fuel my creativity and keep me grounded.

Anime & Manga

I’ve been an avid consumer of anime and manga for years. It’s not just entertainment; the storytelling often rivals the best literature.

• Favorites: Steins;Gate, Attack on Titan, Berserk.
• Currently Reading: Vagabond.

Chess

The 64 squares offer a different kind of problem-solving than coding. It’s pure logic, strategy, and psychological warfare.

• Rating: ~1500 Rapid (Lichess).
• Favorite Opening: The London System (Yes, I’m boring).

Cricket

Being from India, cricket is less of a sport and more of a religion. I follow test cricket religiously. There’s something poetic about a game that lasts five days and can still end in a draw.
