Hello! I am Archie Khanduja, currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Architecture at Virginia Tech. Though I am just at the beginning of my journey, my enthusiasm and dedication towards learning drive me forward.

I firmly believe in the saying, "the only source of knowledge is experience," and I strive to gain as much experience as possible through my actions. This philosophy has helped me overcome many personal fears and has become my mantra. I seek to experience the world fully, appreciating and learning from everything it offers. This curiosity has sparked a keen interest in travel.

I am also someone who cannot stay idle for long. While I enjoy rest and sleep, I constantly engage in activities, even if it's diving deep into quirky internet topics, like whether there are more doors or wheels in the world—a question I have yet to answer. My curiosity and desire to understand everything are core parts of who I am. I aspire to answer big questions while staying connected to my roots and core values. This balance helps me form opinions, develop ideas, and continuously seek new questions to explore.

A significant aspect of my identity is my cultural connection to India. I believe that Indian architecture epitomizes what architecture means to me. I aim to preserve and integrate it into modern designs, creating a fusion that bridges the past and the present. Leaving an imprint on this world is important to me, and I hope to achieve this by blending timeless elements from history with contemporary design.

While I have many dreams and hopes for the future, I see this journey as a step towards my goals, and I am excited about where it will take me.
