Alright, Lets talk about the elephant in the room first - This seems to be a personal website from the name and URL, so what’s a number doing in my name? Well, my last name is Baviskar. ‘Bavis’ in my mothertongue (Marathi) means 22. Hence, Baviskar = 22kar.
I remember I came up with it when I was a kid and it felt veryy creative (at that time it did xO) and then it got stuck with me like a tattoo.
Alright, now then... Hi! Welcome to my personal site. Let me start with answering the usual questions first -
How am I doing?
Why did I make this website?
Well…
- Firstly, it had been in my woah-that-is-so-coool-I-wanna-have-it list from a while.
- And secondly, I had been gravely away from myself for a while and making this website, designing it, curating the things I like and I create, I thought was a good way to rediscover and remind myself who I am. So, here it is - tadaa!
Where am I from?
I am from Mumbai, India.
What do I do for living?
Currently working as CFD Simulation engineer in Pune, a city 3 hours away from Mumbai
What are my physical features? (for strange reasons if you wanna know)
I weigh 202 kg on Jupiter and I am 0.001366 miles tall.
Languages I speak -
- English - Not that great vocabulary though (which I believe, can be good for writing sometimes. Yes, you read that right - good)
- French - Oui, mais je suis encore un debutant
- Marathi - Because its my mothertongue
- Hindi - Because its the common tongue of India
- Gujarati - "Savaar-savaar ma mharo magaj ni kharab karta tame! Chal fafda khai le..."
- Math - Just at an intermediate level. Its mind-blowing and mind-boggling!
- Music - Oooofff… where do I even begin. Let me just share a song with you - guess?
- Bookish - “Yes, Bookish” assured Jay nodding his head as he imagined the confused face of the reader while reading this. “Don’t you know Bookish!? The language novels speak?” asked Jay enthusiastically.
- Actions - Well, this one’s tricky. I can be quite fluent at it one day and completely forget it the other; it's hard to practice. Secondly, you rarely come across people who speak it.
My hobbies and interests -
I loved Science and Math when I was a kid. It fascinated me! I am grateful for my mother that she let me buy all the story books related to scientists, inventors and mathematicians (I can still remember the scenes I imagined as a kid when I read them). My love for them obviously transformed into love for Physics, which got transformed to mechanics/mechanical engineering eventually finding my core niche as Heat and mass transfer and computer simulations now, professionally.
Personally, I have a lot of other diverse interests -
I’ve realised that it’s not something that I absolutely love, but I am good at table tennis.
I have recently started loving films actually. Or now that I think, I have started appreciating the art in them, because again, I have started understanding art more in itself.
I don’t know if I like philosophy (atleast, anymore) but I am a philosophical man. I do ask a lot of questions, but asking them for 25 years and going mad, a chapter from a book made my realise that it’s important to ask the right questions. It’s another thing that I still ask wrong questions though (inserts Captain America: I can do this all day gif*)
I love psychology! I can get pretty obsessed with it sometimes, a behavior which I am not a fan of.
I have taken quite some liking to literature, especially flash fiction and short stories. I like to make lists of books I wanna read instead of actually reading them - it’s one my guilty pleasures. Also, I think I am too dumb for poems, but I absolutey love poetic things!
I love music (and music composition!) What’s my genre? None and all! I do have special place for western classical, but otherwise, I like good music. A good music is like truth - noone can deny the feeling in it. Also, did I mention I attended a Hans Zimmer concert in 2023? Abso-fucking-lutely surreal!
I have started loving to create content. I first had the taste of it when I made a blog on Mechanical/Aerospace engineering and a YouTube channel associated with it almost a decade ago (links below).
It was a shame that such a dynamic subject was taught using words. I liked explaining things and I also wanted to make some money. I took some inspiration and help from my seniors and there it was - MechStuff, my baby! I pour my heart in creating content and I am super proud of some of the articles and tutorials I created; and trust me dear friend - seeing your article or video ranking 1st on Google page is a feeling nothing less than of an orgasm.
But I have had some rough years recently and so now, I wanna create some personal content - about me, my thoughts, my feelings and emotions, my humor, my insights and whatever other nouns I can’t think of right now. Although a bit slow, I am glad that it has begun. This website is a proof :)
Below are some links where I share some content. If something from this website or the other links resonate with you, I would love to hear your thoughts🙂.
