In the early 2000s, long before algorithmic speed math became a buzzword, I authored a practical Vedic Mathematics book designed to help learners explore faster, pattern-based calculation techniques rooted in traditional approaches and modern pedagogy. That initial classroom-focused project laid the foundation for a creative leap into interactive learning: a Nintendo DS game titled Indra (originally “Indo-shiki Keisan Puzzle インド式計算”), where calculation and logic are woven into engaging puzzle play. What began as a book intended to make arithmetic intuitive evolved into a digital experience aimed at “learning through play” - blending rhythmic numeric logic with Sudoku-style grids , and found unexpected fans beyond its original target audience, notably among adult players seeking a fun yet challenging mental workout.

My Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Projects :
My passion in DIY was a COVID time thing, when I started with changing my apartment space with my own hands. I’ve never been content with a showroom-perfect look; a home should feel like a living story, not a catalog. This drive to create led me to first start off by using Yahoo! Auction site and buying stuff to put on walls, but I quickly figured that this was not the way.
Japanese archietcture caught my eye which was respect for natural materials, the celebration of clean lines, and the profound interplay of light and shadow. Its feels like value of essence over excess, and it’s what I’ve tried to balance in my apartment. Every modificiation becomes a tough play of too little, too much and striking a balance is always a challenge. Please see the below three videos which are my initial attempts to start the DIY projects. I will add more on this subject in coming days
