The Finnish Sauna and the cutest cafe - Cafe Regatta.
Take a guess which country has the largest number of Saunas in the world. Yeah right, finnish people are crazy about saunas. And fairly so. The sauna experience in Fin is unlike anywhere else. There is this Nordic wellness tradition where you stay in sauna for about 20 mins and then immediately go out and take a dip in the Baltic Sea, which is around 2°C. The dopamine hit afterwards is insane.
Regatta is this cute, cozy cafe which gives finnish countryside vibe. It is so cosy that at most only 10 people can sit/stand inside it. And it has the smoothest, creamist hot chocolate.
Rovaniemi, Finland
First northern lights experience and a visit to Santa Claus Village.
For the clearest view of the northern lights, we traveled 1.5 hours from the city to a snow-covered forest in -20 °C — the temperature at which your words start slurring. The cold itself was a unique experience.
Saw Santa’s home in all its glory and mailed a letter to India from the world’s northernmost post office.

The Avicii museum that I couldn’t visit and the world’s best meatballs.
Avicii Museum was the one place I was most excited to visit, not because I was a fan but this friend of mine told me so much about it that I became a fan. But sadly they closed early the day I decided to go there. But they let us explore the ground floor area and I was happy enough that I was able to see something.
And of course tried the best meatballs with the tastiest sauce.
New York, USA
The comedy club and the New York City skyline.
The comedy club was in this tiny, shady place and looked exactly like those I had seen in movies. The performances were by truly talented, up-and-coming comedians.
New York City skyline was just mesmerizing.

Correction of Annotation Affected Words in Document Images
Indian Institute of Information Technology Kalyani
Proposed an end-to-end approach for correcting errors in annotation-affected document images. The method removes annotations using advanced computer vision techniques and applies a spelling correction model to OCR-extracted sentences, achieving a BLEU score of 10.64.
Keyword Based Extraction of Library Resources
Smart India Hackathon
Developed an end-to-end pipeline to find relevant books/journals from the database given 4-5 keywords. Winner solution at Smart India Hackathon 2019 and the solution is set up in PD Hinduja Hospital and Research Center.
Hydra: A Zombie Survivor Game
Georgia Institute of Technology
Developed a multiplayer game using Unity and C# where players must survive against waves of zombies. Implemented features like player customization, weapon upgrades, and a dynamic environment that changes based on player actions. Check out the trailer below
Physics-Informed Neural Network for Aerodynamic Analysis
Georgia Institute of Technology
Built a PyTorch-based point-wise neural network with physics-informed loss constraints that maps spatial coordinates and design parameters to aerodynamic flow fields. Transformed a data-limited problem (500 configurations) into 35M training samples through pointwise prediction, achieving fast surrogate modeling for CFD simulations with R² > 0.95.
Flexible LLM Inference with Multi Model Prefill and Decode
Georgia Institute of Technology
Implemented a stitched LLM architecture using separate models for prefill and decode phases, improving both TTFT and TBT while maintaining model accuracy. Achieved 5% decrease in latency than the baseline model (using same bigger model in both the phases). Tested out generalization capability for the architecture on different tasks (q/a, summarization, code completion, math problems)

Americanah
2023
This book dives into some mainstream ideas such as the hardships of immigrants, navigating the challenges of being a different race in first-world countries, and the innocence of teenage love. It does a pretty good job showing the struggles of immigration and showcasing racism in a simple and not so subtle ways, but I got really hooked on the romance part of it. The first half is all about immigration, racism and other things, but the real love story kicks in during the second half. When I hit that second half, I was buzzing with excitement, wondering where the story would twist next.
Norwegian Wood
2024
What a waste of a week. The book is half smut and half pure sadness. There’s death and morally questionable things happening all the time. Not once, while reading it, have I felt warm. The dating culture in Japan is portrayed much worse than the dating culture in the US. The writing is good, but the content is just trashy and extremely sad.
A Thousand Splendid Suns
2025
A Thousand Splendid Suns is undoubtedly one of the most heartbreaking books I’ve ever read. Khaled Hosseini has done such a remarkable story telling as it cups you in sorrow but still leaves you yearning to read more. After a few chapters, the sorrow becomes additive. Unlike kite runner, Hosseini has kept it so well grounded in reality, with no over-the-top drama, just the raw, unforgiving nature of life. The last few chapters had me sobbing uncontrollably.
Book Thief
2025
The introduction of the book set a higher expectation for the story of the girl but there was nothing extraordinary in it. I felt like the narration of the story by death was a cheap gimmick. The story telling is phenomenal but the story itself doesn’t hold much weight.
