I'm Aditi Kedia. I was born and raised in Hyderabad. I studied MPC at Suchitra Academy in 11th and 12th grade. I am currently 18 years old, receiving a Liberal Education as an Undergraduate at FLAME University, Pune. I have not decided what I want to major and minor in. I am keeping an open mind about what I want to study and then further pursue in my life.

I love watching movies and listening to music. I enjoy learning French on Duolingo. I love cats! I take care of 5 outdoor cats back home and I love taking pictures of them! I just started baking a few months ago and I thoroughly enjoy it. I've made biscuits, cakes, brownies and breads and they all turned out really well! I also enjoy reading but I don't do it nearly as much as I want to. When it comes to sports, I really like cycling and doing yoga but I'm always open to learning new sports, and I'm very perseverant so that helps! I love looking at and taking pictures of the sky, especially during sunsets. I ALSO REALLY, REALLY LOVE MY CROCS!

When it comes to educational achievements, I would like to mention that I was the class topper consistently in middle and high school. I often participated in inter house competitions and also won many times. I have taken courses on creative writing, photography, literature, journalism and more outside of school as well. I would also like to mention a few personal achievements. Back home, I used to go for yoga classes at 6 in the morning. I found that it really helped start my day right. I also tried new things during the break after my board exams. I started baking; I learnt how to cycle; I went on morning and evening walks everyday; I read a few novels; I also watched a lot of movies that I'd been wanting to watch for a long time.

My main goal right now is to find my purpose in life. I want be more productive and have better time management. I want to keep learning new things and gaining new experiences! I want to get out of my shell and try things that are out of my comfort zone. I am hoping FLAME will help me with all these things. Even as a student at FLAME, I want to participate in as many events as I can. I want to score well in my courses. I want to be able to efficiently manage coursework with extra-curricular activities without compromising on either one.

I am very creative, organised and focused. I am a quick learner and I work hard towards achieving my goals. I stay calm under pressure or stress and quickly adapt to changing situations.  I am generally quite good with people and I am very friendly and approachable. My friends would describe me as funny, smart and supportive. I am very perseverant, especially when it comes to tasks that require physical exertion. I don't give up easily. I am also very patient.

In 2021, I took a literature course with one of my favourite teachers.  During the course, we explored a range of different creative media - poems, comics, manga, web series, short stories and even slogans among others - to learn life lessons through discussions on ideas, opinions and observations. This really helped broaden my mind as it required me to be creative, innovative and good at research. We created many pieces of work such as manga, spoken word, short stories, blackout poetry, even a whole zine as a final project. This is that zine. It's one of my biggest projects and one that I am really proud of!

During my Digital Literacy course, I learnt a lot of things that I believe will be very helpful to me during my university life and even beyond that! The above linked Padlet contains my reflections on each module we covered.

I really enjoy doodling. I am not a great artist, but I find a lot of peace in making mandalas or just repetitively drawing the same lines (e.g. the clouds drawings on this wall). It's calming AND it results in something so simple and yet so beautiful! Through displaying these here, I want to encourage everyone to engage in any form of art as it can do wonders for your mental health!
