GDrive Video Recording for Reflection

I spent two weeks at a physics summer program about physics. This, however, doesn’t begin to actually reflect the experience that I had. These two weeks were one of the best ones of my life: I was able to meet reputed physicists, visit Fermilab(!), learn to code, experimentally detect muons coming from stars light-years away, […]

I wanted to choose two books because that seemed less restrictive in terms of content. After listing down my interests, scouring through Goodreads, and consulting […]

During my Summer Vacation I spent a week doing an internship at a cotton mill, which is primarily  an export business in India. The company does both the ginning and spinning of cotton to produce yarn. In the 7 days I spent at the factory, I spent my time: Discussing with the manager everything about […]

  I learnt these things about the Language used with reference to the culture of the country that I explored.   The cultures that my group was exploring were that of Scandinavia and the Inuit people. Although my group didn’t get a specific continent, the regions we got were similar in terms of low temperatures […]

Tarang, or the Arts Fest, is a huge event in our school and has been celebrated for a long time. I’ve chosen cooking since it was introduced as an option in the Arts Special subject two years ago, and this is the second time I’ve been part of the arts fest cooking section. There were […]
