Heyoo 👋 I’m a curious (and slightly unpredictable) 11th grader from India. I’m obsessed with space ‘cause honestly, staring at the sky and asking way too many questions is my whole personality 😅. I talk a lot, collect random weird facts, and sometimes crack jokes that may or may not make sense 🚀✨. If you ever feel lost, don’t worry—I’m probably lost in the sky too! Warning: I might go from ‘what’s up’ to explaining black holes in 5 seconds flat 🌌 You can also ask me to host sessions on space that you really wanna learn about! 😃 Feel free to ask!
