“Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot live in the cradle forever.” - Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
That one monsoon night of 1999 is still distinctly etched in my memory. I was flipping through the colorful pages of my new Computer book. Just then, as my elder brother was browsing through TV channels, he chanced upon news about Software Companywhich had just landed its new product. We watched it in absolute amazement. I jumped to the first few pages to learn about the Software and the history of Computers. The experts on TV said that the software had some properties which made it unique in world. In utter shock, I asked my brother “Is it really can possible to make such software?!” He excitedly led me into his room and showed me some exciting things about computers. After a moment, he told me about the concept of software and hardware. I kept looking at him with all my imagination about how a machine could work and then return something we are asking. I was amazed about the real story of a man-made machine which leads to so many developments in world. The awe it inspired in a 5th grader’s nascent mind is simplybeyond words. The seed of inspiration was sown.
Since then it has been a long, long journey. During secondary school I took part in a lot of computer science stuff, conducting workshops, and even basic coding. I remember my self-written program in Visual Basic for puzzle game on my room wall, distinctly showing something different to the wall; profoundly satisfying! Later during my high school years, I was advised by my physics teacher to take part in Computer Science Quiz and the Inter School Programming Contest. To my wildest surprise, I was amongst the 8 candidates from 10 schools, and more than 100 applicants, who reach to quarterfinals of Inter School Contest. These achievements gave me solid thrust to pursue what I had long
