Coolest Confession

This is not an actual confession rather an aromantic obsession of someone else's confession - TransportationOk4728 a.k.a Aryan Anand.

I'm a start-up founder and would like to mentor this guy. I think he has potential he doesn't realise. His sheer capacity to improvise cannot be ignored. Apologies to those who are hurt by reading this, I don't mean to offend you. The world made a villain out of him, but I believe he had his reasons. Education is not free while it should be, society forces stuff down your throat at a young age and this kid decided to fight back. Not by traditional means by taking up a book in his room, because he couldn't.

What really impressed me is his acceptance that he is sure he isn't cut out for studying and yet choosing to run in that very race by 'other means'. It was not just some big talk or big dream, it meant strong manipulative action, brutal ruthlessness and identity isolation resulting in at least some psychotic development that came out in the form of attention hungriness or ego to let it all out somewhere.

This man lost to none other than himself in this big world. He has guts, cold-hearted but also stone-headed. He over-optimised without compromise. Man did not even want to lose his freedom to his parents by asking money even for travel and food. Imagine the depravity, how old it must be to have developed this attitude against his own family. What did this world do to him to turn out this way. He figured he isn't sharp and yet sharpened himself to hack away at life.

A defeated warrior through and through, is exactly whom I'd like to mentor. If anyone has any ideas on how can I get in contact with him please let me know. Here's what I've gathered so far:

Based on available reports, Aryan Anand was 19 years old in 2024 and enrolled at Lehigh University as a first-year student in August 2023 for the 2023-2024 academic year.

His own Reddit confession states his “Class 10 boards were cancelled,” which likely refers to the widespread cancellation of board exams in India in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This means he would have completed Class 10 in 2021, Class 11 in 2021-2022, and Class 12 in 2022-2023, before applying to US universities for the 2023 intake.

So, the timeline is likely:

Class 10 (Kendriya Vidyalaya, Hyderabad): 2020-2021

Class 11 (Kendriya Vidyalaya, Kanpur): 2021-2022

Class 12 (Ruby Children Senior Secondary School, Kota): 2022-2023

Lehigh University: 2023-2024 (until expulsion)

This assessment matches his age and the academic years referenced in the news and his own statements. However his email id linked to the reddit acc (removed): aryanthegreat@gmail.com has been wiped off.

No trace on fb, insta, LinkedIn. His permanent address is in Chandigarh but they don't live there said Indian Express, especially looking at the 3 years of data we have, he might not even be there today. But then where to look? I'm considering befriending people of/around his batch from the same school who must be in engineering college now and get closer but don't have a good starting point since none of these schools are anywhere to be found on LinkedIn filters. I looked up the school board exams results page but it's not helpful either.

Now do we have any systematic plans here to get to him?
