Summer 2019 – India

“Over the course of eight weeks, India revealed itself to me in an endlessly enthralling array of experiences. From my first rickshaw to my last metro ride, becoming part of the ebb and flow of Delhi’s 20+ million people was fascinating and unforgettable. “

“I got an opportunity to be part of research project in India. I have lived in India my whole life but each place in India has its own history, culture, food and sometimes even a different language. So, even though I had some idea about what to expect, I was looking forward to a new experience…

The experience was challenging and frustrating at times but it provided a break from my comfort zone of solving homework and working primarily on a laptop. I started thinking about research projects not as pristine thought experiments but as real puzzles and a function of the on-ground reality.”
