I want to understand how the
internet physically exists.
Hey, I'm Bhavya — a CS student in Bengaluru, still figuring out what to build.
Lately I'm obsessed with data centers and how the internet physically exists: the buildings, the power, the cooling, the cables under the ocean. I like the gap between the thing we treat as magic and the very physical machinery that actually runs it.
This site is where I keep track of what I'm learning, what I'm building, and what I still don't understand. Not a highlight reel — the real, in-progress version. It's early.
A snapshot of where my head is.
- Learning
How a data center actually works — power, cooling, racks, and why a building full of computers needs its own substation.
- Building
This site, and a small habit of writing down what I learn each week so I can see whether I am actually getting better.
- Stuck on
Understanding how traffic physically gets from a server in Virginia to my laptop — the routers, fiber, and peering in between.
Everywhere you can look around.
- About Where the infrastructure obsession came from, and who I am trying to become.
- Now What I am focused on this month. Updated when things actually change.
- Learning An open record of what I am reading and the things I am still confused about.
- Projects Honest builds — live, in progress, and the ones that died.
- Timeline The journey so far, year by year. My real proof of work.
- Writing Short notes and longer essays as I think things through.
- Contact If any of this resonates, say hi.
There's more to me than infrastructure and code.
Away from the screen I'm mostly chasing the next trip. Travelling is the real passion — say "3 a.m., unplanned, let's go" and I'm in without asking questions. Plus my people, long pointless conversations, and unapologetic amounts of sleep.

I like meeting people who are curious about the same things — or about something completely different. No agenda needed.
