Most of my life, I grew up there.
Very early on, I got really into solving Rubik's Cubes.
I'd sort of seen a friend of mine solve Rubik's Cube and decided to essentially ask him to teach me.
Ended up basically getting extremely obsessed with it for a few reasons.
One was, you know, the community in Rubik's Cubes are crazy.
Actually, I learned Rubik's Cubes on YouTube from one of the co-founders of now OpenAI.
Back then, he was just a machine learning researcher.
and he's a very famous sort of Rubik's Cube teacher.
But that's the type of quirky, you know, people you end up sort of seeing.
And so really wanted to kind of get out of, you know, the traditional Indian community, I guess I was part of and just realized, oh man, the world is so much bigger.
And Rubik's Cubes are very interesting, you know, in some ways works, right?
Which is like,
how, at the end of the day, it's really a competition in many ways against yourself in that, like, how much faster can you solve a Rubik's Cube?
And so I ended up basically spending maybe seven years of my life between the ages of 10 and 17 every single day for more than seven or eight hours a day for straight, ended up breaking a bunch of world records, was a captain of the international Rubik's Cube team.
So I got to, you know,
traveled to some parts of the world funded by the Indian government to go solve Rubik's Cubes.
And yeah, it sort of is sort of what got me going.
Ended up, because of that, going to this high school actually called the United World College.
It's 100 kids from like 80 different countries.
The whole mission of the school was to promote peace.
