I recently bought a car. A silver 2011 Suzuki SX4 Sedan (4-door, CVT transmission, sport trim). Naturally, I spent some time thinking of what to name it. I liked the ring of “Zuki the Suzuki”, so the name stuck. It’s crazy how much my daily routine has changed. Earlier, the only ways for me to […]
PDF: June 2022 Update:Presented the contents of this paper at the 2nd International Conference on Plasma Theory and Simulation at Lucknow University (albeit remotely) and won the Best Speaker Award for my talk!

The endless expanse we call Space has beckoned us for eternity, and today that pull is greater than it has ever been before, not because our interest in space has increased, but because new technology has enabled us to edge nearer to becoming an interplanetary species.

Humanity has pondered about this for as long as we have been capable of conscious thought. Even you will probably dwell on understanding the meaning of life and have, what woke Gen-Z calls, an ‘Existential Crisis’ at least a few times here during your stay on Earth.

With so many people, you’d expect a satisfyingly large economy to support the populace; well, I did and my disappointment […]
Have you ever paused to think about why it is the 10th whole number that has 2 digits? Why are we, humans, so fixated on this otherwise ordinary number?
