Engineering

You don't lose when you fall, you lose when you stop getting up

From the very beginning, one thing that has enticed me eminently is the life cycle of a product, the journey of an idea to prototype to bringing it to life that will be solving real-life problems. Being a person who is immensely inspired by movies and anime, there is a very famous dialogue "There is no shortcut to becoming a Hokage". The same is very true when it comes to product development. There are no shortcuts to building a great product and this is what fuels me to wake up every day and do my work. It is the desire to know the process behind the product-creation culture as in how people from different social-economic backgrounds come together to solve a problem and in the process, they create something so astounding that will reach out to millions and millions of people thus making the world a bit better than before.
Software Engineering is one of the professions that have an exceptional impact in bringing the above dream true. As Shakespeare has said, "Time travels at different speeds for different people", for me it gallops when I am working on a problem or developing a feature. From discussing potential ideas to participating in multiple hackathons to developing an entire social media of my own, and still, I haven't even scratched the surface. It is this field that made it possible to build a Billion Dollar company sitting in your college dorm room which is helping people in ways that no one could imagine. So if someone asks me, "Why Software Engineering?". There is only one answer that comes to me, "I was too lazy to get out of my comfy chair but too ambitious to give something back to the society.
So, here am I starting a new chapter of my life which probably will be written in Javascript, Java, and who knows how many languages. Always ready for some production bugs and hope to keep releasing new and better versions in the future.
