<> is a 9 yr old Canadian-Indian from Ontario, Canada. He was born in India in 2011 and moved to Toronto, Canada in 2012 with his parents because he was too young to travel alone.
He began school at St. Marys in Toronto and then moved to Ontario’s pilot progressive school that was equipped with the latest and greatest technology - Bishop Cardinal a few years later.
At the insistence of his parents and 1 yr old sister, the family then moved from Toronto to Richmond Hill in the summer of 2020.
<>’s life has always revolved around computer games, technology and his love for reading. As a child, he was always very creative and that creativeness was obvious with the various LEGO based models he built. His interest in LEGO was so intense, he once begged his dad to take him to the LEGO convention in Downtown Toronto just so that he could meet with the LEGO masters and a watch them work.
The first computer based game that piqued his interest was the much famed Roblox. At first, his parents were completely against him playing the game (as any parent would). But inch by inch, he kept to his word on being in control of the game, the language used and the level of violence if any. In a few months, his parents were very comfortable with him playing Jailbreak within Roblox.
He began playing Minecraft sometime in 2020 when he discovered the Minecraft Education version provided to him by his school. Ever since then, he has been heavily involved in building within Minecraft. His creations of houses and landscape in the game is truly amazing.
Lately however, gaming has been pulling his soul closer to the fictional world and farther from the realistic world of everyday life. For example, he chooses to eat virtually while playing Minecraft only to realize a few hours later that he really is starving and could have a bite. But by then, the kitchen is closed and he sometimes has to resort to gnawing at furniture.
