I am Nabeel Bhattacharya and I run Aarvam. I write about things, issues and ideas that interest me. You'll also find some of my projects.

​

All of us, including me, consume copious amounts of information, thus, it is necessary to have an outlet – either through speaking or writing – to keep our minds from imploding.

​

This website is a collection of my MindPrints in the form of articles and ideas.

​

What are MindPrints? (I coined the word that means store of thoughts)

​

Pictures capture moments from our lives and allow us to live that moment whenever we like. Similarly, a 'MindPrint' is a store of our ever-evolving thoughts and idea.

​

MindPrint manifests itself in the written word – as spoken word is transient and gets lost with time – as writing enables us to capture our frame of mind at different moments of our life.

​

And finally, let's address the elephant on the website – what's Aarvam? Aarvam means Curiosity in Tamil

​

Why Tamil, you ask? – Tamil is one of the world's oldest languages, as old as Sanskrit if not older. Contrary to popular belief, it is a contemporary of Sanskrit, heavily influenced by it like all Indian languages but not derived from it.
