The App That Made My Mom Smile

Image
I am a CS graduate, Working in corporate as a software engineer—does this give me satisfaction? Aaahhh... maybe to an extent. But do you know what brings peak satisfaction? Helping our parents with the knowledge we’ve gained. When it works well and they’re genuinely happy, it feels like all their hard work and love for us has finally shown results—or rather, never faded. So, curious what was this “great” thing I did? For me, it’s not anything grand. But for my parents, it is. They’re into business and trading. They found it tough to constantly open the calculator and derive conclusions. One day, my mom approached me saying, “This whole process of deriving conclusions is costing me a lot of time.

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...

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....
