Who am I?

The truth is even I am exploring myself, I believe “I am everything you can imagine and beyond” -V!SMAY.

Hello, I’m Vismay Agrawal, a crazy guy who is on a quest to solve one of the world’s hardest question, “Who am I?”. Isn’t it strange that the one who is writing this blog is asking himself “Who are you writing it?”

Elliot’s Beach, Chennai, India | I wrote it myself | July 19, 2018

The meaning of “Vismay” is surprise or exclaim(!) and therefore I type my name as “V!SMAY”.

Enough of the philosophy, I really get high while thinking about such questions. Here is some quick information about myself:

I’m a third year undergraduate student at Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India, pursuing a dual degree (B.tech+M.tech) in Engineering Design with a specialization in Biomedical Engineering.

But I don’t stop myself here, I keep on searching for my interest. I do a lot of stuff, I’m

• Crazy behind Neuroscience and consciousness
• Coder (AI: Deep learning, Machine Learning)

These two things are what I am mainly up to nowadays. Other things which I do:

• Creating Motion Graphics and Video Editing (Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro)
• Reading about spirituality, meditation, psychedelics
• Lucid Dreaming (few successful attempts!)
• Speedcubing (I average 13 secs, Rubik’s cube)
• Origami (especially modular origami)
• Playing Badminton
• I love making canvas paintings.

I am also a tech nerd. I use Ubuntu for deep learning purposes and windows for general use like editing videos. I prefer Android over IOS, because I like customization (sorry Apple :P)

I’m a vegetarian, I don’t smoke or consume alcohol. Strangely, I am very much interested in psychedelics, mainly LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) and DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine).

Here is an image I found online which defines me very well

What I’m gonna do next:

Work on my own website (vismayagrawal.com). I will be writing blogs on the topics I love and find interesting (consciousness, sleep, psychedelics, deep learning)

I will also be writing blogs on how I manage my life, productive apps I use, how I setup my phone and laptop, how I write my dream journal, my daily journal, my life goals, YouTube channels and famous personalities I follow…etc

Apart from all these, I will also be shedding light on some of the trending topics.

Why I’m doing all these:

1. I like to share my stories.
2. I want to find people like me.
3. I want a place which will act as a diary for me. Just like people open their todo list for better productivity, Instagram’s for memories, LinkedIn to connect…I want my website to be all. It will contain everything about my life, it will contain my thoughts, my feelings. I may restrict some content to myself, but the point is, I want that website as a hub for myself, the hub which I will visit regularly.
4. I want my website to support me when I’m feeling low. So that I can feel proud of myself. I can read my blogs and get some motivation.

I may be sounding a narcissist to you, but what I wanted to convey is that it’s not just “I am everything you can imagine and beyond” but it’s more like “We are everything we can imagine and beyond”, we just need to be nobody, as boundaries are defined for something, not nothing. I don’t just love myself, I love the crazy ones, I usually call myself the “CrazyOne”, because:

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do” — Apple

I appreciated the people who try to improve me. Please comments with your recommendations, it will help me work on myself faster. If your interests match with mine, feel free to write me at vismay.iitm@gmail.com, I will be glad to talk to you.

Bye.

Thanks for reading till the end!
