Just a student juggling JEE, SAT, and board exams while trying to crack the code of effective studying. I have a thing for reading and old nataks. When I'm not buried in textbooks, I'm tutoring, working on my SAT Reading series, or experimenting with better study habits. Always on the lookout for smarter ways to learn.
