One time a professor of mine wanted to know more about the students he was about to teach; an excellent thought, so he designed a quiz containing several interesting questions. Among them was a question I always shy away from “What is something you are most interested in Physics?”. Now this question seems a perfectly valid question, in fact, it also seems a very important one. But in all honesty, I don’t like this question very much. So I wanted to answer the question in a way that captures my thought when it comes to what I want to work in. So I wrote, in all four inches of space he provided: “I like High Energy Physics. Recently I have also developed an inclination for Cosmology, and foundational questions in Quantum Mechanics.” I knew this does not answer the question, nor does it capture the thought, so I added, “This question is analogous to bringing a toddler into a toy store, and asking him which toy he likes. He will not be able to answer.”

This roughly encapsulates my interests – there are some toys I have tried and liked, which I would like to explore more, while there are some I have only had the opportunity to look at from afar.

In addition to writing smart answers on quizzes, I like to play and watch soccer, read books, and watch OTT series. I am also an avid educator, and I aspire to teach physics on YouTube with an occasional dabble in engineering projects.

UPDATE (Spring 2024): The toy that I have decided to pick to play is the experiment about Parity Violation in Nuclear Spin Rotation.
