About Me

ABOUT ME

I am another you.
ǝɯ ɹǝɥʇouɐ ǝɹɐ noʎ

Trying to explore the true nature of mind and matter. Finding appropriate tools, Some pointers: consciousness, free will, meditation, ego and the self.

An Indian student in Tampere trying to find his place in this world (and obviously not working hard enough to avoid clichéd introductions). Trying to carve out something from nothing, researcher, vegetarian, music junkie, chronic procrastinator, cinephile, lover of profound conversations. Trying to immerse himself with the things he loves, many of which are yet to be discovered by him, he'd like to believe so.
