About Me

Hi! I am Kaju Burfi. I am a student of Electronics and Communication Engineering(ECE). I have interests in various walks of life. I play the acoustic guitar(fingerstyle), and have composed a couple compositions. I am quite the FOSS enthusiast, and am fond of such initiatives. I read a few books(quite rare, but still), and have a jailbroken Kindle.

My Music

Here are some of the music covers I've made. There are also some my own Original Compositions, along with their sheet music(if written).

jrnl

A simple tool to maintain one(or more!) journals completely in CLI. Has many features, built in rust.

Interesting Questions

Some physics questions that test your intuitiveness. They are mainly questions focussed at 11th, 12th schooling and it contains mathematical methods including double/triple integrations, vectors, etc. However, they are not very hard, but rather fascinating. It also contains some possibly related interesting stuff.

My Blogs

A bunch of my blogs.

Some Resources I find cool/useful

Software:

Websites that I've found, that are really interesting(to me!)

Note: These are generally websites that I haven't found recommended anywhere else, so I'll not be listing quite obvious websites such as desmos for graphing or something along those lines. These are websites that I've found, somehow, that genuinely felt really interesting and out of the blue.

  1. A really good online, but locally run(in your browser), LaTeX editor. It has a bunch of default LaTeX packages pre-installed.
  2. Blog site of Julia Evans, and her extensive list of Wizard Zines.
  3. An interesting 3d complex function plotter.
  4. Aatish Bhatia's interactives is a must "interact with".
  5. This is an obvious choice, but neal.fun is a must mention.
  6. Nicky Case; again, brilliant interactives.

  30. A couple of Geronimo Stilton books
  31. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964) - Roald Dahl: A fascinating and humorous novel.
  32. Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864) - Jules Verne: This, even though it's really old(1864!), is a really interested read.
  33. Sherlock Holmes; A Study in Scarlet (1887) - Arthur Conan Doyle: My first mystery-murder novel. It's a really good read.
  34. The Hobbit (1937) - JRR Tolkien: A really fascinating fantasy world. I haven't finished LOTR, nor watched its series though.
  35. Five Point Someone (2004) - Chetan Bhagat: An immersive, yet not completely truthful, read for the life of a college student.
  36. One Night at the Call Center (2005) - Chetan Bhagat: One of the first books that I read that was completely different to the usual ones I read. It just outlines one night at a particular call center; no adventure, no murder, no mystery; which was a new type of genre(that I hadn't previously gone into).
  37. Three Men in a Boat (1889) - Jerome K. Jerome: A genuinely humourous novel; one of its kind dare I say.
  38. The Silent Patient (2019) - Alex Michaelideas: An intriguing psychological thriller. It's a book to be read at least twice.
  39. How I Taught My Grandmother to Read (2004) - Sudha Murty: A brilliant collection of beautiful short stories.
  40. The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk (2012) - Sudha Murty: Another amazing collection of short stories.
  41. Grandma's Bag of Stories (2012) - Sudha Murty: Yet Another collection of short stories.(You know, it's starting to seem like the modern Panchatantra).
  42. Dollar Bahu (2013) - Sudha Murty: A truly engrossing book. It feels like one of those Indian Drama's(Serials), but in the form of a novel.
  43. Animal Farm (1945) - George Orwell: A satirical dystopian allegorical novella. Quite short, but lovely nevertheless. Could've been a longer novel in my opinion.
  44. And Then There Were None (1939) - Agatha Christie: Returning to the centuries' old books, this classic is the perfect murder mystery novel. You basically can't "figure" it out, one reason might be that it is in the third person, so it's not very personal.
  45. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1926) - Agatha Christie: Yet another banger by the one and only.
  46. Murder on the Orient Express (1934) - Agatha Christie: A beautiful closed-set murder mystery, with a crazy ending.
  47. 1984 (1949) - George Orwell: Yet another dystopian novel; quite depressing, but a classic nonetheless.
