An obsession with finance is what drives my interests and hobbies. I studied Bachelor's in Commerce from St. Xavier's College, Kolkata and my love for finance has also led me to study for other professional exams in the field of finance. So far I have cleared both the parts of the FRM certification, attaining 1st quartile in 8/10 subjects. I am also studying for the CFA certification and am currently a level 2 candidate. To go above and beyond the limited knowledge our textbooks provide us with, I also read voraciously on various topics and genres including investing, business, behavioural finance, biographies, history, political science, self-improvement, personal finance, and philosophy. Some of the books which have influenced me the most in recent years are Stress Test (Tim Geithner), The Snowball (Alice Schroeder), Security Analysis (Graham and Dodd), and Ego is the Enemy (Ryan Holiday).
