When Life Gave Me a Second Mic – I Took It

Image
How I Got My Groove Back (a.k.a. My Second Workshop Experience 😄) The first one was in college and that was pretty awesome-want me to write about it?-let me know in the comments.. So there was this workshop at NPS Sapthagiri College — yep, an actual, real-deal event — where we had to give a 2-hour talk to BSc first years about computer science. 🎤👨‍💻 This went down at the beginning of December 2024. Now here’s the thing: deciding the topic? Not easy. Took us a while. These students were freshers, just getting started with C programming. So we thought — hey, let’s talk about why DSA (Data Structures & Algorithms) is such a big deal, the magic of coding , and how Git & GitHub can literally make your life 10x easier. 😎 Our squad (a.k.a. The Vikasana Crew): Anmol, Dinesh, Kevin, and me — off on a mini adventure to this college. Okay so... confession time: one of us overslept . Not saying who 👀. Which turned our morning into a hormonal rollercoaster 🌀, but hey — we got luc...

Hackathon Chronicles: MVJ College of Engineering

Image
-My first ever Hackathon experience So, we decided to give Vikasana a fresh start, and what better way than jumping into a hackathon? That’s how we ended up at MVJ College of Engineering in Whitefield for an on-the-spot-themed hackathon—Disaster Management. Our team? Me, along with three insanely smart people: Dinesh, Mihir, and Falisha—of course, all from Vikasana. They named our squad Homi Baba (because why not). The Pre-Hackathon Hype A day before the hackathon, we had a strategy meeting—what to do, how to plan, and all that jazz. Mihir was on full motivational mode: “Bruh, yess! Let’s go! We’re gonna win this thing!” Gotta love that mindset. Date: 19th Dec 2024. The Journey to MVJ First challenge? Getting there. Dinesh offered to bring his car, but for the sake of adventure, I took the metro. Rode my bike to the station, switched metro lines, then finally reached my stop and walked to the college. Three hours of travel—uff! The Arrival: Hackathon Begins We got our hackathon pass...

What made me think design is crazy

Image
Okay...so it was my 2nd year of college when I joined vikasana the research and development team of my university... Well vikasana was like my dream destination... because it contained people of high potential and i was barely surpassing any of those capabilities like just hanging out the cliff.. joined and barely surviving...that type of intelligence and kindness was present in this group vikasana....one of the reasons for me loving vikasana even now...had a good bunch of seniors and made my journey in vikasana awesome... So now at this point I barely knew about design what it is... thought it's some lowky or let's say some feild like other feilds... Until I was assigned to one project and there is where I heard the term .. figma..  made me more curious like what the hell is this figma...me in utter state if confusion and a lost state of mind...me started exploring the figma website... bruhh that website looked soo...complex like what what is happening....I have no clue....

Cicada 3301-"The internet Mystery"

Image
  There was a message from an anonymous sender stating, "Hello, we are looking for highly intelligent individuals, and thus this test." If they solved the test, they likely had a chance of actually finding out who they were, and this message was signed by the name Cicada 3301. It all started on 4th Jan 2012 on 4chan..an anonymous English language imageboard website for the age group 18-25. It's a community-based webpage ... I posted an image on a random board and signed the image with 4 digit code i.e. 3301 and challenged the users to uncover a message hidden in this... As soon as they posted the image many users started discovering what it could be and when they opened this image on Notepad they found a text and a link when deciphered and that link led them to another image...everyone thought this was the end of this puzzle, but when they used an app called outguess..they were able to extract hidden info within the image. This info led them to a subreddit which led them ...

Trade Planner-A full stack application

Image
It all started with a clumsy set of papers with many strategies not knowing which works the best and which does not The idea of organising everything and getting it all together brought rise to this application. What started as a personal challenge turned into a rewarding adventure. It all started with a clumsy set of strategies knowing it works or not and when to apply them or not...so I created this application which allows me to enter the data, edit the data, view the data and delete the data it also allows you to categorize it according to the label/days of the week. The road was bumpy, with plenty of downs, but each obstacle was a lesson in disguise. Diving into Docker was a game-changer, teaching me the essence of containerization. 🐳 This application also consists of an inbuilt calendar, an inbuilt YouTube video view, and a link to the Option chain which is used by many trades in India. Tech Stack: Talking about the tech stack...at first when I heard about this project from my c...

Coin Sorting Machine using Aurdino

Image
The Coin Sorting Machine using aurdino In the realm of engineering, practical projects not only demonstrate technical knowledge but also foster innovation and problem-solving skills. One such project that stands out is the design and creation of an automated coin sorting and counting machine by a team of enterprising college students. The primary aim of this project was to engineer a system capable of autonomously sorting various denominations of coins, a task that requires precision and careful calibration. The machine was designed to identify coins based on size and other unique features, sorting them into designated compartments for pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. Key Goals Achieved: - Coin Detection : The team implemented an ingenious mechanism using infrared sensors to detect coins as they passed through the machine. - Sorting Mechanism : A meticulously designed physical arrangement guided coins into separate compartments, ensuring accurate sorting by value. - Counting : Th...
