2025: A Year of Exams, Excellence, and Evolution

 2025: A Year of Exams, Excellence, and Evolution Hi, I am Mayur Gund welcoming you at Mayur's Tech Journey.  As the curtains fall on 2025, I look back at a year that was defined by grit, transitions, and the discovery of my true passion. From the silent halls of exam centers to the vibrant development labs of Sanjivani, this year has been an unforgettable journey of growth. The Rigorous Start:  The year 2025 began with intense pressure. Every student in India knows the weight of the last week of January—the JEE Mains . My preparation was rigorous, and on 12th February, I received my first boost: a 83 percentile in JEE Mains. While I was still processing this, the HSC Board exams arrived in the same month, requiring a complete shift in focus from entrance logic to descriptive writing. The Frustrating Peak: MHT-CET and Mock A March was perhaps the most challenging month of the year. It was a period of constant mock tests. The frustration of stagnant scores and the repeti...

To the Light Bearers of My Life: A Guru Purnima Tribute


From Blackboard to Heart – My Teachers, My Gurus

                 



⚡️Thanks to my Family : 


I am so thankful to my parents and family for being my first Guru. You would be my guide forever. Dear Mom and Dad you are the best teachers of the world. You taught me the best skill of living. Happy Guru Purnima 


🌱 My Early Gurus – Foundations of Curiosity


As I look back, some names shine brightly from my school years.
In my secondary school, I was deeply influenced by Kale Sir, Barhate Ma’am, and Navale Ma’am. Their incredible way of teaching mathematics made the subject come alive for me.

Abhang Ma’am’s loving and kind nature touched my heart, while Dhas Sir’s strictness helped instill discipline in me – both equally important in shaping me.



🌐 The Digital Gurus – Learning Beyond the Classroom

When I reached class 11, my world of learning expanded online.

Dinesh Sir’s humorous way of explaining mathematics made even tough concepts feel light.

Ankush Sir introduced fun and quirky “जुगाड़” methods that made revision easy.

I closely followed RG Sir, Sagar Sir, and Dhande Sir – each adding their unique style and motivation.

A kind-hearted A Ma'am from Pawan Wagh Academy also inspired me deeply during my MHT CET preparation, though I don’t know her name.

Among them, Dhande Sir had the strongest influence on me. I felt a genuine connection with him during my preparation phase.




🏫 Support Beyond Teaching – My College Faculties

Though I didn’t learn many academics directly from my junior college teachers, their support helped me balance everything smoothly during that critical phase.

I’m thankful to:
  • Dhande Sir (again),
  • Shaikh Sir,
  • Shaikh Ma’am,
  • Ingale Ma’am,
  • Patwardhan Ma’am, 
  • Balwe Ma’am
  • And all the faculties.
They played their silent roles in helping me pass through junior college life with strength.



🌻 What I Learned Beyond Books

From all these gurus – offline and online – I learned far more than subjects:
  • Discipline 
  • Fighting spirit 
  • Self-confidence to face any exam or challenge 
  • Positive thinking
  • Logical and critical thinking
  • Kindness and affection


🙏 A Thank You That Echoes From My Heart


Today, on Guru Purnima, I write this blog not just to express gratitude, but to acknowledge each one of you who contributed to my growth.

Though I’m not in contact with most of you now, if you ever come across this blog, please know —
Thank you for your role in my life. I will always be grateful.

"Thank you for teaching me more than books ever could."

"आपने सिर्फ पढ़ाया नहीं, मुझे जीवन जीना सिखाया।"


🌸 A Final Thought – My Guru Vandana 

गुरु ब्रह्मा, गुरु विष्णु, गुरु देवो महेश्वरः।
गुरु साक्षात परब्रह्म, तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः॥

चलना सिखाया, गिर के संभलना सिखाया,
हर मुश्किल में खुद पर विश्वास करना सिखाया।
जीवन में जो भी बना हूँ, आपके बिना मुमकिन न था –
मेरे हर शिक्षक को, गुरुपूर्णिमा पर मेरा प्रणाम!


Happy Guru Purnima to all the beloved readers.

The Boy Behind the Percentile: A Memory of 12:07 AM

  : Usually, this blog is about C++, Linux, and my journey through the world of technology. But today, I’m putting the code aside. A few days back,our college had a photoshoot with the placed students of this year. Seeing the happiness on their faces brought back a flood of memories. Writing this blog to get my thoughts out. I want to tell you a story about a moment that stays with me every time I walk through my college gate—a moment that defines why I work as hard as I do. The Myth of the "Bright" Student  People see my progress now—the 99.07%tile in PCM, 99.29 in PCB and college topper—and they call me "bright." But I’ll tell you a secret: I was never the bright student in school. I was average. The person you see today wasn't born with talent; I was forged in the fire of 12th grade. I remember the Sankalp (the vow) I took. I remember the late nights, the constant overthinking, and the "love-hate" relationship I had with that life. I was fighting fo...
