About Myself
Hi, I am Aanan from Bharatpur. I am a mechanical engineer. I am currently doing my master by
research under Hydro-Himalaya WP 3. Beside being a researcher, I am a travel enthusiast and
devoted to learning different cultural, historical and geographical aspects of life. I am a
wonderer. I wonder how people lived in the past and also in present with so much diversity. I
wonder how along with the civilization people developed so much skill to this level of
advancement in science, engineering and intelligence, spirituality, entertainment, etc. I believe
only way to learn is read, travel and wonder.
