Fields Medal is the most prestigious award in mathematics; awarded every four years; considered the mathematical equivalent of the Nobel Prize. A list of seven important problems, titled – Millennium Prize Problems – a solution to any of these problems carries a 1 million dollar reward. To date, only one of these problems, the Poincaré conjecture, has been solved.
Mathematical Olympiads identify mathematically talented individuals. Fortunate to have got the medal, and National talent search award. This has led to my being taken into APRJC Nagarjunasagar.

Yes, we can. If we coexist, flowing. Listening, conversing together. In N? dhyaanayoga for 7L.
