Hrishikesh Pallod

People appreciating your work is the most awesome feeling. Judges, seniors and juniors. Thank you for the overwhelming response at INC '15. The "most popular project" award is a testament to the 8 months of hard work. The three days days were exhausting. But the satisfaction in the end. Worth it. I could not have asked for a better team and a better guide. Suhel Sir, your advices have always been spot on. Discussions with you have always been interesting. You gave us the freedom any group would want. Glad we got rid of the frustrated developer before INC. Aman, you are the problem solver. I know I can rely on you to take care of any bug. Sidhesh, I'd pay to watch you present again. The responsibilities you took since BITs. We would not have reached here. Abhale, your touch screen laptop got a few judges excited. You are the man of ideas. And Siddhant Patil, great work with the flex and logo. RoloKnow got the face it deserves.  When things didn't work out...

Three years ago I joined PICT. Still remember those days, as if all that happened last month. Time flies only when you don't want it to. A lot happened in the these three years. Strangers became friends, friends became strangers. But these friends will remain this way for a long long time. Probably now I'm mature enough to decide where a friend should be - Stack or a Priority Queue. First day in college, some one asked me, "Pallod Creations(a saree shop) tumhara hai kya ?" I said NO. He was hoping for some discount may be. People still ask me this. FE was super strict. More like 5th grade. Wish I could use that attendance now in BE. Those subtle OFF OFF chants which became a regular thing in SE, didn't really have a good start. "You want OFF ? I'll give you permanent OFF" was the exact reply, if I remember correctly. It did become a big issue. Scared as shit, we did not try that for some time. I still don't know why I feel this way, but...
