GSoC period is over. I'm a bit sad but happy that it happened. I was able to learn a lot and was able to hangout with some of the coolest people I've ever met. Thank you to my mentors (Terri, John, Anthony, Harmandeep and Saurabh) and fellow contributors (Sahil, Harsh and Dmitry Volodin) for helping me out through the whole period.

My eyes may be taking a rest after my LASIK surgery while you are reading this. Probably the longest rest without any screens for my whole life. Excited and a bit nervous of how I will have to handle time without any electronic equipments for a week. Hoping everyone will stay healthy and hydrated.

Until next time
