SCHOOL ENDS HERE. NEXT: COLLEGE, HACKATHONS, AND THE REAL RABBIT HOLE.

College years one and two

COLLEGE STARTED. NO MAJOR SKILL SET. STILL SAID YES.

YEAR ONESEM 1—2

NOT MUCH. NOT LESS.

01

FIRST DAY.

Had to take a picture. First day of college and all.

property-img-2

02

NEW ROOMS. NEW PEOPLE.

College events became the first doorway—meeting people offline, trying things before I felt ready, and learning by being there.

03

THEN I RAN A FEW.

I went from attending events to helping conduct them. Coordination taught me almost as much as the code did.

04

SIH. FIRST TIME.

Picked an idea with the team. Getting it to actually work was the hard part.

05

TOP FIVE.

First offline hackathon with my college friends. We made it to the top five.

06

THE FUN PART.

Same hackathon. Had a lot of fun with this team.

07

SKILLSYNC CHANGED THE PACE.

A college-born startup became my proper start in tech. I kept showing up, learned backend for real, and soon became the backend team lead.

YEAR TWOSEM 3—4

THE INTERNET BECAME A REAL PLACE.

FIRST POSTSEM 3Made an X account. One post became a doorway to online friends and a much bigger tech world.
ONLINE FRIENDSTHE INTERNETPeople I met online became an actual community. In semester three we hacked together too—and it was chaotic, fast, and extremely fun.
FIRST WINHACKATHONThis was the first hackathon win. A loud room, a stage photo, and the moment all those late nights finally felt real.
NIT DELHICRAZY PRIZEThen came another hackathon win at NIT Delhi—this time with a cash prize that made the whole thing feel slightly unreal.
MICROSOFT ROOMSEVENTSVisited Microsoft, attended events, listened, asked questions, and kept collecting better contexts for the work.
CSE WEBSITEMEMENTOReceived a memento for building the college website for the CSE branch—a proper little marker for work that became part of the campus.
IOT SIDE QUESTHARDWARESensors, wires, tiny displays, and the familiar question: why is this not working yet?
100X SCHOOLIDEA MODEVisited 100xSchool and confidently pitched my brilliant idea—even without being deeply into Solana or Web3.

MY CAMERA ROLL.

I take pictures almost every day. No wonder my 128 GB is full.
