My Journey at CORE Hackerhouse India 2025 Hackathon 🚀 Hi guys! 👋 Hope you read my LinkedIn post before this, but if not, no worries! In this blog, I will take you through my exciting and intense journey at the CORE Hackerhouse India 2025 Hackathon, which took place in our hostel. Not just that, but I’ll also give you a glimpse into the cool product we built during the hackathon. So, let's dive in! The Beginning On March 17, 2025, I was casually roaming around my hostel floor when I discovered that a hackathon was happening right there in our hostel campus. 😲 Intrigued, I went to check it out and found out that it was a Web3 hackathon. Up until then, my knowledge of Web3 was limited to basic terms like blockchain, Bitcoin, stablecoins, and smart contracts (thanks to my investments in crypto via Coinswitch 💰). Despite my limited knowledge, I decided to take a chance and participate. I approached the organizers, who were incredibly welcoming, and they allowed me to join. Th...

  He is No More… A Tribute to My Father In everyone's life, people come and go like seasons—some stay for a while, some leave lasting impressions, and others fade like a passing breeze. Some appear great, some seem indifferent, and some truly understand us, standing by us through our ups and downs. But amidst all, there are two people who never leave our side—our parents. Whether we win or lose, they are always there, embracing us with unconditional love. To them, we are always children, no matter how much we grow. But sometimes, even these pillars of our life must leave, called away by fate to a world beyond ours. The Night That Changed Everything March 4, 2025, felt like any other day. I was exhausted from work and had put my phone on flight mode to escape distractions. I had no idea that my world was about to shatter. A sudden knock on my door. I ignored it. Another one. By the third time, I got up, annoyed, and opened the door. My friends stood there, holding out a phone. ...

  Slow Living in a Fast World: Finding Peace in Simplicity Todays context will be short but it will be fun!👌 In today’s fast-paced world, life can feel like a never-ending race. We’re constantly juggling responsibilities, chasing deadlines, and staying connected 24/7. But amidst this whirlwind, there’s a growing movement toward slow living — a lifestyle focused on mindfulness, intentionality, and finding peace in simplicity. Think about how life feels during a lazy Sunday morning — the smell of freshly brewed coffee, the warmth of a cozy blanket, and no rush to be anywhere. That’s the essence of slow living, where every moment is savored like a favorite song on repeat. We often treat life like a buffet plate, piling on tasks until there’s no room left for enjoyment. But what if we chose only what truly matters — like spending time with loved ones, pursuing hobbies, or just enjoying a quiet evening under the stars? Letting go of unnecessary commitments is like decluttering a crowde...

  From Failures, the Real Journey to Success Starts ( Short blog ) F ailure is something everyone experiences at some point in life. While it feels disheartening, it’s important to remember that failure is not the end—it's actually the beginning of the journey to real success . Some of the most successful people faced failure, but they didn’t let it stop them. Instead, they used it as motivation to try again, learn, and grow. Turning Failure into Success ( Examples )   Let’s take the example of Ratan Tata , one of India’s most respected business leaders. When Tata Motors launched the Tata Nano , it was meant to be an affordable car for everyone. But things didn’t go as planned. The car didn’t sell as expected, and people didn’t like it as much as they thought they would. Instead of seeing this as a failure, Ratan Tata saw it as a lesson. He and his team learned from their mistakes and continued to innovate, leading Tata Motors to later success with brands like Jaguar and La...

The Silent Thief of Time W e’ve all been there. You have a task to complete, a goal to achieve, or even a simple to-do list staring at you😂...  Yet, instead of diving in, you find yourself scrolling through social media, watching videos, or telling yourself, “I’ll start in 10 minutes.” But those 10 minutes often turn into hours, sometimes days, or even weeks. This is the trap of procrastination—a silent thief of time.

  D on’t Let Your Inner Child Die A s an engineering student, life can get pretty hectic. There are classes to attend, projects to complete, internships to land, and exams to prepare for. It feels like there’s always something demanding your time and attention. I know this because I’ve been there. But in the middle of all this, something hit me: I had stopped listening to my inner child. When I was in my childhood, I was obsessed with building things . I remember spending hours on LEGO sets, constructing machines, and sketching wild ideas for inventions that didn’t exist yet. It was fun, it was free, and it made me feel alive. But somewhere along the way, as I started focusing on my engineering degree, I got caught up in the practicalities of life—assignments, deadlines, and the pressure to “succeed.” My inner child, the part of me that used to dream big, got pushed to the side. -
