Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by how things work. I was that child who'd break open toy cars just to peek at the motors and winds. Annoying my parents by asking how Airplanes fly? Where does lightning come from?  Why did different kitchen objects make different noises when hit? And how di d my cousin s magically transfer pictures through the air with Bluetooth (In the early Nokia, Sony Ericson days)?

Hey there! I'm Abishek Rathnakumar, and welcome to my little corner of the web.  I come from Sri Lanka, the paradise on earth.  While I might be an introvert (INTP-A, for all the Myers-Briggs folks out there!), I have a big passion for a lot of things that might seem a bit...unconventional.  Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by the wonders of Math, Science, Psychology, and the ever-evolving world of IT. These subjects might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me, they're a source of endless intrigue.  Speaking of following my passions, I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, The Open University of Sri Lanka, focusing on Chemistry, Zoology, and Physics. To fuel this love for knowledge even further, I've also been working as an Online Math Tutor for children in the UK for the past few years.  This blog is my way of sharing all the things swirling around in my head. Thoughts, opinions, memories – you name...
