chool in Dehradun where everyone was eligible to go into Army or IIT. For my parents that school was a temple. They wanted me to crack the tough IIT exam. Although nobody asked me about my dreams or whether am I a good fit for IIT? I was a normal kid in my nonage and I never realized that I am breathing inside a very competitive world. Till class fifth, I didn't notice the competition. Everything was going very smoothly. In one or two exams I topped the class and in some exams, I got average marks. I was heading in a right direction. When I reached in class sixth, I came out of my comfort zone. It was the time when I felt the cold raindrops and dynamic weather of Dehradun. It is a beautiful city. Doon gave me the feeling of becoming a poet. I started writing poetries on various topics on the basis of my observation like weather of Doon valley

I was the topper of class eleventh and one more year was left. It was the crucial time when I had to make a choice: a normal college or IIT. My father had invested a lot just to give me confidence that I could

udy. I began new phase of my life from IIT Roorkee. In my way of thinking IIT is not only an institute but it

associated with them. As an excited fresher, I enrolled myself in all the activities but I later figured out that all the activities are as hectic as my registration process on the first day. So I joined the coding group as my motive was clear from the starting. My relationship with C programming language was very deep in my school coding days. I grabbed the opportunity and minimized the threat. However, selection was not a piece of cake in coding groups. There were other groups as well like dramatics, cinematic, dancing and debating. But I took the decision to become a part of a coding group and it seemed to be tough but right decision. The name of my coding group was SDS labs. I want to tell you that even officia
