No telescope, no budget, one old pair of binoculars and a Kolkata terrace with a very annoying streetlight.

12th PCM, Kolkata. Chess and physics, in that order on weekends. Off-duty: chess, astronomy, football.

Physics problem solving is mostly checking your answer before you know it's wrong
Dimensions, limiting cases and symmetry. Three boring checks that catch more mistakes than rereading ever did.

A very nerdy experiment, a very small football, and a rule about never touching your phone at half time.

I lost three marks on a "which reaches the bottom first" question, then spent a weekend with a plank and four tins. This is the whole idea in one place.
