Interests[edit]
Though I registered with Wikipedia sometime in 2006, my first contribution to Wikipedia was on 04 December 2007. My main motivation has been the very mission of Wikimedia itself.
I am an ardent trekker, bird watcher and amateur astronomer. I intend to contribute to Wikipedia to its articles related to hiking spots, Indian birds and astronomy. I travel a lot. I intend to contribute to as many articles as possible on Indian Cities/Villages.
Picture of the day[edit]
An oblique shock is a shock wave that, unlike a normal shock, is inclined with respect to the direction of incoming air. It occurs when a supersonic flow encounters a corner that effectively turns the flow into itself and compresses. This photograph shows an oblique shock at the nose of a Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft, made visible through Schlieren photography.Photograph credit: NASA & US Air Force (J.T.
