The Kiran

Lights, camera, action! cue dramatic music No, no, no, this is not a Bollywood movie. This is my journey as a beginner in the world of tech. And believe me, it was just as onedramatic as any Bollywood movie out there. From facing the villainous COVID-19 to battling with coding problems, it's been one heck of a ride.

But before I go into the details, let me tell you a little secret. I used to think that Python was just a type of snake and that the only coding I needed to know was how to use the TV remote. Yeah, I was that clueless. But when my college started, I realized that I needed to up my game and learn something new.

So, I decided to take up Python, and to my surprise, it was love at first code. Python was so simple and elegant, it was like a breath of fresh air in the world of coding. I was hooked! And as I started learning more about coding, I discovered the world of AI and machine learning.

if (sad(🥺) == true💯) {
sad.stop.(❌) beAwesome(🤩);
}else {
Behappy(😉);
}

Now, here's where the drama starts. As a beginner, I was intimidated by the projects that people were working on. They were building things like car detection and hand detection, while I was struggling to understand even the basics. But I didn't let that discourage me. I kept practicing and learning, and before I knew it, I landed an internship at ShapeAI.

There, I met some amazing mentors and colleagues who helped me navigate the world of coding. And let me tell you, they were like the heroes of my story. They shared their experiences and knowledge with me, and taught me that the key to success is not just memorizing concepts, but understanding them. I learned how to focus on concepts and not just on rote learning.

And even though COVID-19 threw a wrench in our plans, we didn't let it stop us. We continued to work remotely, and I even attended virtual events like AWS and Google events. I discovered the power of networking and the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest technologies.

And now, here I am, sharing my story with all of you. From a clueless beginner to a confident coder, I've come a long way. And I'm not stopping here. I'm still learning and growing, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.

As a starter, it's completely normal to feel overwhelmed and unsure about where to begin. You might have a lot of ideas and goals, but not know how to turn them into reality. Don't worry, it's a journey that takes time and effort. Remember, every expert was once a beginner.

One of the best ways to start is by taking small steps towards your goal. It can be as simple as learning a new skill, reading a book related to your field or joining a community that shares your interests. These small steps might not seem like much, but they can add up over time and lead to big changes.

Another important thing to remember is that failure is a part of the journey. Don't be afraid to make mistakes or try something new, even if it doesn't work out at first. Learn from your failures and keep moving forward.

Lastly, surround yourself with positive and supportive people. They can provide encouragement, motivation and valuable insights that can help you on your journey. Remember, success is not achieved alone, but with the help of others.

So take a deep breath, be patient and enjoy the journey. It's not just about the destination, but the experiences and growth you gain along the way

So, in the end, I'd like to say one thing: "Picture abhi baki hai, mere dost." (The movie is not over yet, my friend.)
