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...

My Journey of Building a Functional Calculator

My Journey of Building a Functional Calculator: How I Overcame My JavaScript Struggles Hello everyone, Welcome back to Mayur's Tech Journey. When I started my engineering journey, I always wanted to create something practical. Many students focus only on theory, but I believe that true learning happens when we build projects. Today, I am very happy to share my first web development project: A simple Calculator. The Initial Struggle with JavaScript : To be honest, learning JavaScript was not easy for me at first. I was in learning syntax, but the logic felt like a big threat. There were times when I sat in front of my tablet for hours, trying to understand how to connect a button click to a mathematical operation. It felt like I was stuck in a loop. However, I did not give up. I realized that to be a good engineer, I needed to neutralize these technical fears. I started breaking down the problem into small parts: first the design, then the display, and finally the logic. How I Built...

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...
