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!
