The short story
As a kid I took apart every toy car I owned and carried a briefcase of tools everywhere I went. My family started calling me kabadi wala. It stuck.
I've loved the moon and the stars for as long as I can remember, so it was only a matter of time before the tools pointed upward. My practical knowledge still runs ahead of my theory. I'd rather build the thing, watch it disagree with the drawing, and learn from the gap.
What drives me is simple: I want to build something that outlasts me. Leonardo da Vinci is my reference point, someone remembered for what he made.
