Shivan Kaul

Shivan Kaul is a student from DAV Chandigarh and is about to start studying a B.A. in Economics.

Shivan describes himself as one of those unfortunate people who’re mildly good at a lot of things, but brilliant at next-to-nothing. He spends my free afternoons playing the guitar, reading, writing poetry, eating, head-banging, swimming, and embarrassing myself on the basketball court. His big goal in life is to write a book and he would also like to one day start his own business.
