Nuclear weapons

I am an absolute nerd when it is about Nuclear weapons.

My interest in nukes stems from my childhood addiction of gaming. By playing these games, I developed interest in conventional weapons, which subsequently introduced me to nukes.

So, I started reading tons of books (both pirated and acquired) on nuclear weapon strategies, designs and its history. I have become so well versed with them that while reading the website The Nuclear Weapon Archive/, I could point out several wrongs.

Conventional military stuff

As with nukes, my interest in military stuff stems from gaming. This not only includes statistical knowledge, but (more importantly) also tactics and strategies.

International relations, geopolitics, economics and Indian foreign policy

Developing interest in military stuff and nukes ultimately led me to develop a taste for geopolitics. Infact, I believe that the history of Nuclear Weapons broadly reflects the history of today's (20th century + pre-2030 time) world order, with some exceptions. Again, I am very familiar with Indian foreign policy.

As an inevitable requirement for analysing geopolitics, I have an intermediate knowledge about economics. As an example, China's rise cannot be explained without talking about it's economy.

Spaceflight

I am interested in Spaceflight and astronomy stuff in general.
