- 📰 Took charge of wall magazine projects: basically the school’s Pinterest before Pinterest existed.
- 🏃♂️ Once crowned Under-16 Athletics Champion (flex), and ran like my ex was chasing me.
- ⚽ Played football all the way up to district level, still waiting for that Real Madrid call 📞.
- 🧗♂️ Did basic mountaineering training at Camp Bagicha (annual school trip) where Team Altitudes made us feel like mini Sherpas every year from class 2nd to 9th.
- 🎬 Head of the Media Lab, where I directed short films, made music videos, and even grabbed a few awards (Nolan vibes).
- 🏅 Twice the Sports Captain of my house, which basically means I have an excuse to bunk classes, but hey, leadership!
