Sketching campus faces: Quick 3-minute charcoal portraits

Spent the afternoon in the canteen drawing quick charcoal sketches of students studying, laughing, and arguing over notes. The human face has so much character when people aren't posing for a smartphone camera.

A short poem written on the Assi Ghat steps at twilight

किताबों की दुनिया से जब थक जाता हूँ, गंगा किनारे थोड़ी देर बैठ आता हूँ। लहरों की रवानगी में कुछ ऐसा ठहराव है, जो शहर के शोर में कभी ढूँढ नहीं पाता हूँ। चार साल की ये ज़िंदगी भी इक कश्ती ही तो है, किनारा मिल भी जाए तो सफ़र याद बहुत आएगा।

My poetry notebook has 40 poems. 38 of them are about the same person who sits two rows ahead in English literature lectures.

I sometimes sit in the arts faculty gardens with an empty canvas and paintbrush pretending to be in deep creative thought just so nobody disturbs my afternoon nap.

Five books every college student should read before turning 22

1. 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear (for fixing sleep & study loops) 2. 'Deep Work' by Cal Newport (vital for CS & engineering focus) 3. 'The Psychology of Money' by Morgan Housel (money basics) 4. 'Norwegian Wood' by Haruki Murakami (nostalgia & youth) 5. 'When Breath Becomes Air' by Paul Kalanithi (perspective on purpose). What book changed how you think during college?
