01 About me
I learn best when I’m doing.
I’m Asankh, a student and footballer from Dehradun. Football is my biggest passion, and I train as a striker while working to become a more complete player.
I also enjoy chess, technology and learning new skills independently. I created the first version of this website using HTML, and I’m now improving it with modern web-development tools and AI-assisted coding.
Beyond the pitch
Stories and places that inspire me.
Dragon Ball
Training hard, testing limits and growing stronger.

Adventure, friendship and chasing a big dream.

My favourite destination and a country I would love to explore.
02 My football journey
Built on the
training ground.
Football is where I practise consistency. I’m learning how small improvements—in movement, control, awareness and decision-making—add up over time.

More than the
scoreline.
Travel, trekking and early sporting memories have shaped the person behind the player—from seeing the Messi India Tour in Delhi to the childhood moments that began a lifelong love of movement.

06 Chess
Think ahead.
Learn every game.
Chess helps me practise patience, planning and decision-making. I enjoy competing, analysing positions and learning from every game.
It complements football too: both reward awareness, anticipation and choosing the right move under pressure.

Curiosity has
always been the start.
There isn’t one straight path. Each new interest has taught me a different way to observe, practise and create.
01Learning through curiosity+
I developed deep interests in dinosaurs, country flags and world capitals—following questions wherever they led.
02Solving the Rubik’s Cube+
I independently learned to solve the Rubik’s Cube by practising patterns and algorithms.
03Exploring piano online+
I explored playing piano through online videos and self-directed practice.
04Competing in chess+
I participate in chess tournaments and learn from each game. In the July 2026 Vedic Chess U-19 event, I finished 9th with 3 points across 5 rounds.
05Committing to football+
Football became my strongest focus, with regular training and attention to becoming a more complete striker.
06Building my first website+
I created the original AsankhHanda.com myself using HTML—turning an idea into something public and real.
07Building with modern tools+
I began using modern web-development tools and AI-assisted coding to improve this portfolio and explore new ideas.
