What I’m passionate about:
FOOTBALL
Football has always been a big part of my life — both on and off the field. I've represented FCIK, the official football club of IISER Kolkata, in several competitive matches. Our team has proudly participated in tournaments like the Inter IISER Sports Meet (IISM), including the 2023 edition in Thiruvananthapuram and the 2024 meet in Pune (more in Events). My preferred role is as a midfielder.
Beyond playing, I regularly follow this beaautiful sport. My favorite club is Real Madrid CF, and my all-time favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo, whom I’ve admired since childhood. His hard work and determination continue to inspire me — both in sports and in life.
ART & ILLUSTRATION
I am a self-taught artist with a focus on watercolors, brush pens, and digital media. I primarily use FOSS like Krita and BeeRef for my digital illustration. You can view my digital artworks on DeviantArt — feel free to explore!
Lately, I’ve been deeply inspired by the legendary Kim Jung Gi — his dynamic compositions and brush pen mastery have pushed me to explore monochromatic black-and-white frames.
MUSIC
Music has always been a constant in my life, even as my taste continues to evolve. I enjoy listening a wide range of genres — from Hindi romantic songs and old-school hip hop to English love ballads, country, and instrumental tracks. I’m always exploring new sounds, experimenting with what resonates. More in Spotify.
MOVIES
I'm drawn to movies that evoke emotion, deliver a thrill, or spark a sense of wonder. My taste spans across action, romance, drama, feel-good stories, epic fantasy — anything that blends compelling storytelling with unforgettable moments.
