Writer Profile
Cybersecurity Enthusiast

Connect
I am a second year Computer Science and Engineering student at MIT, Manipal and have been a part of MIST since 2019. My short spell as a writer started from my school days in Kolkata, where I was a part of the editorial board of the school’s various magazines. As a cybersecurity and political enthusiast, I try to cover a variety of news with an inclination towards anti-establishment pieces. While I have been exploring a few different fields, I will always be committed to keep reviewing news articles and providing content for the MIST audience. Apart from news reviews, I am also interested in reading and writing fiction. When I am not writing or doing last minute, yet somehow successful, preparation for my college exams, I likes to indulge in football and chess. A hopeful fan of Chelsea F.C., I am yet to establish myself but I am definitely keen to give my best for a development based profile.
