What else was I doing in 2018 & 2019

 


I had my heart and energy dedicated to chess for 1.5yrs moving up to the 3rd place in the inter school championship and with an ELO score hovering 1000+. Thanks to master Mahesh, who is brilliant and brought me up in about 6 months.

Label Business

Image
In the summer of 2019, I received my books and I was excited to cover and label them. Once I got the brown covering and transparent cover binding done, I was looking for exciting labels. Something like super hero or game heros. I visited many stores and all i found was kiddish and babyish or girlish stuff only. I couldn't put that on my books, so my mother suggested plain white labels but i wasn't very happy. Then I asked if I could design my own labels and whether my parents could get it sticker printed. And that is how this label business started. And that year I settled for the good old smiley. Later when my friends saw it, they wanted it too. So I created some templates and a pricing sheet with some options. They could even get their photographs on their labels and how cool is that. About 20% of my class signed up for my designs that summer.

This summer was Rubix Summer

Image
This summer I was single focused on solving Rubix cubes, it kindled my passion, people around would even say I was obsessed, went to the extent that my fingers would solve and my mind would be on auto mode, I did not even have to consciously think to solve, solving became a sub-conscious activity. I slept, ate and breathed with my cubes. By now you can imagine that I had a collection of over a dozen 2x2, 3x3, pyraminix and mirror cubes. I learnt them on my own watching you-tube videos, it was a self motivated activity and hence I loved it! A link to my video of solving all 3 together in 2 mins. Also participated in a world record event, learnt to unscramble to design and solve in record time. Awaiting my certificate. https://www.facebook.com/705972800/videos/10159224419337801/ Will share some tips on buying the perfect cube in India.

Lesson notes-taking tools

Annual exam time and I though I will share with you how I take notes. I was introduced to Pyramid Principal by my dad, the summary of it is MECE - "MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE & COLLECTIVELY EXHAUSTIVE", and when he taught me this he said that its the most important tool to put in order and summarise our content, which then makes it simple and easy to understand and remember. I explored various softwares to take notes namely - Mindmap, Goodnotes, Keynote and my latest and current favourite is ROAM RESEARCH. I will put up some pictures of the notes I had done for my lessons. I focus mainly on the important subjects like physics, chemistry and biology. If i have time I take notes for geography, history and eve as well.  I got inspired by watching Ali Abdaal and Karma Medic and followed their journey of how to take notes, study and write exams. For those of you who don't know about them, they are medicos at Ivy League and the likes.  So for a couple of weeks I may not post much t...
