I have always been a person who believed in getting the most from every experience and not doing anything for just fun. Even while reading a book, I needed to get the full essence and learnings of the book. I have now come to realise that may be that is the reason why I never stuck to the habit of reading books. When I used to miss on a single line, I used to go back and read all over …
I took a bus ride almost 3 years later and it brought back a lot of memories. I have been a sucker for public transport to travel within the city and would find any way possible to travel in one over a cab or auto. Next on my favourite travel mode is an auto and then the Bengaluru Metro. Back in my school days, none of the bus routes were in way that I could reach home sooner than walking …
I write this as I complete my 1 month of moving into a new place. It has been a month! Seems like the longest yet the shortest month of my life. It feels like it has been long enough to feel like eternity yet at the same time like it got over in half a heart beat. The Decision I am not even sure what lead me to move out of HOME.

Some of my friends took a topic up and made an informative presentation on chart paper and some just took the shortcut of getting what their elder siblings displayed in the …
I am one of those humans who would think for a good 10 days before making a planned purchase; small or big. I am one of those who would wait a year or two before buying an electronic gadget after reading the reviews and talking to the millionth user of the product to learn about their experience. But when I decide to buy, no doubt, the most updated product comes home with me. Since there is a huge investment of …
Those of you who know me, know that I hate adventures of any kind. My response is a BIG NO to roller coasters, giant wheels and anything that is to do with varying heights and gushes of adrenaline. My answer is a BIG NO to a ball being thrown at me, my world stands still, and I get super nervous when I have to throw the ball back at someone! HackerRank has been that rollercoaster that I jumped on in …
No, I am not preaching but writing this as a reminder to myself and a takeaway from something that happened in the recent past.The week of 5th September was a week of experiments with a team at HackerRank that works on expanding HackerRank’s expertise in more ways than what it is now.
