Atharva Pathak Finance and Website
​I'm an astronomer who loves diving into books, exploring new places, sipping on something good, and getting into deep (or random!) conversations about the universe, history, politics, and science. Big fan of movies, writing a bit of code for fun, and always up for trying food and drinks from around the world—plus anything that feeds the mind too!
