Beyond Research
Since childhood, I have enjoyed learning Mathematics, Science, and Literature. I was an avid reader growing up and once dreamed of becoming a writer.

These are some movie reviews I wrote for a magazine (in Malayalam) during my undergraduate days:
I still occasionally write poetry, and have recently become more interested in reading non-fiction, particularly the philosophy of science and biology—fields that I find deeply fascinating. The way science has transformed human life over the past few centuries never ceases to amaze me.
