I am interested in moving to the US and attending law school upon my graduation in 2028. I want to get a JD in Business or Criminal Law.

Yes, I might have watched Legally Blonde and Suits too many times.

my work

abhattacharya1_5 — 2024-10-25 17:46:52 UTC

I currently do not have a job but do some volunteer work in my community. As a lifelong feminist, I'm associated with a non-profit that aids women who are survivors of domestic violence and seeking legal support in some capacity.

I attend protests against marital rape, domestic abuse, female genital mutilation and MVAWG & attend ones that support women's reproductive rights, queer rights and disability rights.

my hobbies

abhattacharya1_5 — 2024-10-25 17:58:24 UTC

I love consuming media — be it watching television, reading books, listening to podcasts or music, I truly love it all. I almost exclusively only watch murder mysteries or police procedurals (like Psych, NCIS, Bones, The Mentalist) aside from true crime documentaries and forensic files. I read murder mysteries, feminist theory and fanfiction. I also listen to Taylor Swift almost religiously.

I love songwriting, playing piano and making electronic music. I also like baking homemade sugar-free cakes, collecting stickers and trinkets and designing stuff on my iPad (including some jewelry, 3D models, printed circuit boards etc.)

I enjoy programming in Python and am hosting a hackathon in my city next month for high school aged students.

my hobbies (contd.)

Fun Fact: I'm actually hexalingual and can speak six languages. I love learning foreign languages, learning about different cultures and consuming art (be it literature, film, music, visual art or something else) in a different language! English is my first language and I don't need to learn a language living in an English-speaking area but that doesn't stop me from dabbling in Russian, Hebrew and French and exploring ancient languages nearing extinction.
