Believes in living life to the fullest, is witty, argumentative, very determined and confident about each and every challenge that he takes up. Just moving to standard 11th from 10th, dislikes the invention of the weapons. Dream job would be to do something so big that Google puts up a doodle on his name .p.s. Having his own show on NDTV would also do. Thinks Phones and cars that would run on carbon dioxide and release oxygen as radiation and emissions respectively will be great eco-friendly gadgets. Wires frustrate him about technology. | | | |

Reticent and curious by nature.
