96.8% in Class 11, school trophies from Grades 8 and 9, Olympiad ranks, and certificates going back to an abacus contest in Class 3.
Marks aren't the whole story, but they are part of it. School has always been something I take seriously, and it gives me the maths and science I lean on when I build.

The physical things I've kept: trophies, magnets, letters and certificates. The newest one is first. After that they run in the order I got them, from Grade 8 at Bhashyam Blooms to this year.

Grade 8 to Grade 10After school exams
After exams, Bhashyam Blooms gave a small fridge magnet to every student who finished in the top five of the class. I kept getting them from the end of Grade 8 through Grade 10. No single one matters much. What matters is that they kept coming.
Six magnets, five designs. Tap one for a closer look.

AI + Python
A workshop by AI for Techies on using AI to write Python, debug it, and build interactive visualisations. What I took away was less about any one trick and more about choosing tools on purpose: different AI tools suit different jobs, and I started paying attention to when ChatGPT or Claude is the better fit. One step in my ongoing experimenting with AI, not a claim to expertise.

A breast cancer awareness run on Necklace Road, a month after I volunteered on the route of another city run. The certificate and medal are with the rest of my community work.

Every year our classroom turned into an exhibition. We picked a theme, built it with our teachers and presented it live to parents. Looking back, it was an early version of something I still enjoy: building a thing to explain an idea.
A working station with a jail and a prisoner. I played the Sub-Inspector and gave the speech.
A model house that stays cool without air conditioning.
Our biggest build, with trains, the elevated line and the streets around it. I was on the core team.
