It’s been a long time since I posted anything here. Haven’t been upto a lot outside my work when it comes to tech/ programming and it’s that existential time of the year when you feel like you’ve got to do something with your life.
A few notable things that happened in the past one year:
» Successfully got a full-time job as a Software Engineer
With my never-ending struggles with DSA, feels pretty lucky to be where I am right now.
» Travelled to Singapore - my first ever flight and international family trip!
Highly encourage everyone to travel abroad atleast once. It can be quite inspiring!
» Managed to consistently work out for the past 5 months and counting
Understanding my own body and working towards a fitness goal really gave me a sense of direction at a time I felt kind of stuck. A huge confidence booster too!
» Reached Grand Champion in Rocket League after 4 years (2500+ hrs)
A goal of mine since I started playing this game back in 2018.
Taught me patience, consistency and the ability to believe in myself.
» Finished Elden Ring along with rest of the SoulsBorneKiro games.
Absolutely incredible games all of them.
» Went out of my way to surprise my best friend on her 21st Birthday.
Really felt like I should show my appreciation to the people I care about more actively.
This was one of the examples for it. Also made more efforts in meeting/ interacting with new people and strengthening the bonds with older ones.
Some of these things might feel pretty trivial (and they probably are :P) but they have no doubt, helped me keep an optimistic view of life and keep going :)
Will be back with more technical posts soon!
