Look who's here! Grab a seat!
Hey! Nice to meet you. I am Rajnil Mukherjee, a 4th year physics major doing my undergrad at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Mohali , Punjab, India. I was born and brought up in the beautiful city of Kolkata, and completed my high school from there itself. I am an aspiring astrophysicist and the drummer in my college rock band. I was previously the co-convener of Turing--the Computer Club of IISER Mohali, and I try to be actively associated with the activities of the club.
Khwaab mere (Sing-song in a Local Train way)
As said before, I am an aspiring astrophysicst. However, unlike other astro geeks out there, my GK is very bad, so don't expect me to go answer queries like what that star is--I don't know okay? Catalogues are there for a reason. I am completing my physics major, and you can learn more about my projects and experiences here:
(PS: I am the guy on the left :) )
What's up?
Well, I am right now on a Tour-of-Duty to Bangalore this summer, doing a project on possible extra-galactic Fermi Bubble analogs with Dr. Santanu Mondal since Summer 2023, and since Summer 2024, in collaboration with Dr. Ravi Joshi at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), Bangalore . Going to Bangalore has been one of the best decisions of my life, although I am kind of missing home as well, and certainly do not want to go back to IISER M for my upcoming 7th semester *sob*
Jobless after classes?
Sometimes I wish I was. I am a very avid drummer, and play with my friends as a part of a band (Ulysses) in my college. We recently won 3rd in IICM (Inter IISER Cultural Meet) 2023 Battle of Bands, wherein contingents from all the 7 IISERs, along with IISc, NISER and CEBS, participate ( :) ). I also dabble in front-end web development, and watch a lot of anime. I used to read a lot too, but it kind of stopped sometime during my +2. However, I have started picking it up since Bangalore, so less gooo!
Whaaat? You want to know more about me??
I feel honored. If you want to know more about me, you can contact me via any of the below means. I will be quite happy to answer your questions about my life. I am always happy to meet new good people!
