Hey everyone! My name is Darsh Mirchandani and I am currently a junior and one of The Chariot’s News section editors. Outside of Chariot, my passions include playing the trombone, swimming and playing the New York Times’ games. If you ever see me around school, I’ll either be deep in conversation or glued to my iPad screen trying to figure out my next guess.
