Where I'm from
I live with my family and my younger sister Situ. We're both pretty different, but we get along — mostly. She writes books; I'm still figuring out what I want to make.
A small corner of the internet
Hi. I'm Sidu.
A reader, sometimes a writer, often somewhere between the two. This is where I keep what I'm thinking about.
A little about me.
In my own words. (Three small paragraphs — feel free to rewrite.)
What I'm into
Competitive debate — the louder thing I do. Otherwise: books I can mark up, drawings in the margins of my notebooks, and weekends outside when the weather is good. Quiet most of the time, but hand me a motion and I'll find a side to defend.
What I'm working on
School, and getting sharper at debate — building cleaner cases, listening harder, holding my ground when I'm wrong about a point. Also learning to draw faces, and trying to read more than I scroll. This site is a slow project too.

Where I'm learning.
I go to Keystone Academy, where I'm in Grade 9. My favorite subjects are the ones that let me ask "why" — I like questions better than answers, and probably for that reason I spend a lot of my time in debate.
Outside of class I'm usually at debate practice, reading, drawing, or trying not to get distracted while doing my homework.

Books I'd hand to you.
A small reading list. These are starter picks — I'll swap them out as I read more.
-
Dune
A whole desert planet's worth of politics, power, and people quietly losing themselves to fate. (Yes — that's the book in my portrait.)
-
To Kill a Mockingbird
I read this for class and then read it again because I wanted to. Atticus's quiet kind of courage is the kind I'd like to learn.
-
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The funniest book I've read, and somehow also the one that makes me think the hardest about how absurd everything is. I quote it more than I should.
-
Thank You for Arguing
For debaters, but also for anyone who's ever lost an argument they should have won. I learned more from this than from any practice round.
My journal.
Things I've been thinking about. I'll start writing real entries soon — for now these are placeholders.
Say hello.
The easiest ways to find me — for now, just a couple.
