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...

📅 Weekly Coding Journey – Week 3

 Hello readers, I am Mayur Gund, a first-year Computer Science & Engineering student at Sanjivani College of Engineering. Welcome back to Mayur’s Tech Journey 🚀 📝 Shift to Weekly Blogging : In my first week, I was posting blogs daily. But due to a busy college schedule, I realized it’s not always possible to write every day. So, I’ve decided to post weekly updates instead of daily. This way, I can share more complete progress and reflections at once. 🖥️ Programs of the Week : This week, I practiced multiple C programs: 1)Switch Case Program – Gave fun facts for numbers 1–5. 2)Exam Eligibility Checker – Checked marks & percentage to determine eligibility. 3)Income Tax Calculator – Calculated tax based on income slabslabs. 4)Leap Year Checker – Verified leap years with input validation. 5)Uppercase/Lowercase Identifier – Detected whether a character is uppercase, lowercase, or invalid. 6)Greatest of Four Numbers – Compared four values to find the maximum. 🔗 GitHub Progres...

⚡ Day 11–12 – Building a Calculator & Trying Linux Terminal

 ⚡ Day 11–12 – Building a Calculator & Trying Linux Terminal Hello readers, I am Mayur Gund, a first-year Computer Science & Engineering student at Sanjivani College of Engineering. Welcome back to Mayur’s Tech Journey 🚀  🧮 Building a Calculator in C: Day before yesterday, I coded a simple calculator program in C. 👉 It allows addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 👉 This was one of my first programs where I started combining multiple operations in a single program. It gave me a good practice in: Using if conditions. Handling user inputs. Thinking about how real-world calculators work 🖥️ First Time Using Linux Terminal for C Programming :  Yesterday, I compiled and ran a short C program directly from the Linux terminal instead of using an IDE. It was a different but exciting experience because: It felt closer to how real programmers interact with systems. I understood that C programming has its own legacy — compilers, commands, and terminal workf...

🌱 Day 6 – A Pause, but Still Progress

 🌱 Day 6 – A Pause, but Still Progress Hello readers, I am Mayur Gund, a first-year Computer Science & Engineering student at Sanjivani College of Engineering. Through this blog, I’m documenting my daily coding journey. Today was a hectic day 💨. From morning workshops to afternoon lectures, my schedule was packed. Even during the 2 free hours I got, I ended up engaging in discussions about a Chemistry presentation and a CCA activity. 👉 Result: I couldn’t write a program today. But here’s what I realized: Coding is not just about typing code every day. It’s also about building discipline, managing time, and balancing academics with learning. Even on non-coding days, reflecting on my journey keeps me on track. Sometimes, it’s okay to pause. Tomorrow, I’ll come back stronger and continue from where I left off. 💪

🌟 A Small Beginning, A Big Step Forward 🌟

 🌟 A Small Beginning, A Big Step Forward 🌟 Today I wrote my first ever Python program in Visual Studio Code. It was a simple one: print("hello world") a = 3 b = 4 print(a + b) The output — hello world   7 — may look small, but for me it’s a big achievement. Today, I learned to download and install VS Code and run its various extensions. This is a first step towards my tech journey. And as it is said that 'first step is the hardest step of the journey.'This learning makes me excited to learn more complex concepts. This moment reminded me that every expert was once a beginner, and every great journey starts with a single step. For me, this was that step in the world of programming. 🚀 I’m excited to keep learning Python, explore new technologies, and gradually build skills in web development, automation, and app development. Here’s to consistency, curiosity, and growth — one line of code at a time. 🙌
