Talk at DroidSkilling - Google Event

Image
April 5th, a very productive day in a sense. There was an event called DroidSkilling to feature Android Developer Skilling Program in India. There was a few Googlers coming from Silicon Valley to talk at the event and some community speakers as well. And Lucky I was invited to talk there as part of being a speaker from the community, The event was really interesting as it made me connect with these people at Google. And luckily as being a young developer, I also got the chance to exclusively talk to JP Souchak, Program Manager at Google who came all the way from Silicon Valley for the event. I also met Akash Shukla, Community Manager at Google, a very inspiring person and such a nice personality to talk to. It was a great pleasure talking to such great professionals. Thanks for having me at the event. It was overall a joyful experience.

Got featured in one of India's top News papers - Deccan Chronicle

Such a tremendous day, as I wake up and see that I'm featured in a news paper. So, yesterday or on 2nd April, a journalist from Deccan Chronicle - which stands out to be one of top news paper in the country - contacted me and took a small interview about myself and all the stuff I've built. And it was pretty amusing to see that they wrote an article about me the very next day. I was really happy as they had that article over their website and also on the news paper,  and there was a very good response from many people online. And now, it's like the third or fourth time I've been in a news media. It's a very joyful milestone for me at this age. Thanks to everyone who supported me through this journey and I'll always keep working on something new and helpful and will definitely invent some change.

Got a Wonderful Gift!

A Fine Day, I was expecting a Gift sent from the UK. It started when I met a wonderful person at an event, His name is Joe Hoyle and he is the CTO and co-founder of Human Made, He lives in the UK. After talking with him at an event, and also talking about my few wishes, he offered to send me his old MacBook Air, which was like a dream for me to get one at this time. And after that event, we were in-contact and he had shipped the item, and after all the customs clearance and all. It finally arrived today. Such a wonderful and valuable gift for me and my career. I'd now be able to develop and work seamlessly with a much better performing device. Thanks a lot to Joe Hoyle!

It was a grand scale event and It was indeed a pleasure to be there, As the point I came to know about the event the registration was closed and I had contacted the organiser for the tickets and he provided me as well but also gave me a wonderful opportunity to talk in front of many entrepreneurs and tech people.
