Legendary
moments only

2026 started with a strange feeling.

Too many ideas.
Too many half-built projects.
Too many things sitting in my TODO list.

Some days it feels exciting. Other days it feels overwhelming.

There are moments where I look at everything pending and think,
"Maybe I started too many things."

A little stressful. A little chaotic.
But maybe this is just part of building things.

Still figuring it out.

Earlier I used to overthink everything.

Perfect UI.
Perfect architecture.
Perfect features.

But 2025 taught me something important:

Nothing matters until it ships.

So I started launching things faster, learning faster, and breaking things along the way.

Turns out progress beats perfection every time.

Getting the opportunity to intern at ISRO felt unreal.

Working with satellite data and geospatial systems alongside scientists was a completely different level of exposure. It was the first time I saw how real-world space and remote sensing technology actually works behind the scenes.

What started as a hackathon problem statement eventually led me here — contributing to the same ecosystem that inspired it.

For a kid who grew up fascinated by space and technology, this was definitely one of those “how did I end up here?” moments.

There’s a strange moment every developer experiences.

The moment when something you built stops being CodeNearby and starts being something other people use.

Someone signs up.
Someone clicks a button.
Someone depends on a feature you wrote.

It sounds small, but it changes how you see your work.

For the first time, the code wasn’t just code anymore.

It was impact.

One of the biggest milestones of my journey — we won Smart India Hackathon 2024.

What started as just another hackathon idea turned into months of preparation, building, testing, and improving. The competition was intense, teams from across the country working on serious real-world problems.

Standing there after the final evaluation and hearing that we had won was surreal.

All the late nights, debugging sessions, and team discussions suddenly felt worth it.

Moments like this remind you that the grind actually leads somewhere.

Somewhere in 2025 it finally clicked.

Projects were getting bigger, people were using things I built, and problems were no longer just tutorials.

For the first time, I felt like I wasn’t just learning development.

I was actually a developer.

For months, I was working on my game "BOOM Baby" — a project I genuinely believed in.

I even shared a teaser trailer and people started getting excited about it. Seeing others interested in something I built from scratch felt unreal.

Then one day, my game data files got corrupted and deleted.

Completely gone.

Months of work, ideas, and late-night builds just disappeared in a moment. I tried recovering everything, but nothing worked.

And just like that, my game development era officially ended.

It was painful, but that project will always remain one of the things I’m most proud of building.

We won an MLH hackathon. First place. Not second. Not third. First.
Team name: Men of Culture — and honestly, we lived up to it.

Two days of almost no sleep, lots of coffee, random bugs at the worst time, and last-minute fixes that somehow worked. We kept building, breaking, fixing, and repeating… until the final submission.

The best part? People started recognizing me around the venue.

“Hey Subh, what are you making this time?”

“I know you from YouTube!”

For one whole weekend, I walked around like a celebrity.

Also got swags. Which, let’s be honest, is equally important.

My first hackathon was Diversion 2K23.

Honestly, it was a completely random decision. No grand plan, no preparation. Just showed up with my three teammates thinking, “Let’s see what happens.”

Little sleep, constant coding, random bugs appearing at the worst possible time, and everyone pretending they totally knew what they were doing.

But something about that night changed a lot for me.

I learned what real teamwork feels like. Building, failing, fixing things together at 3AM. Somehow those messy hours taught me more than weeks of normal coding.

I also met some amazing people and what started as a hackathon conversation turned into connections that stayed long after the event.

Looking back, that random decision ended up shaping a big part of my journey.

I grew up playing GTA Vice City and IGI. Games were a big part of my childhood. Somewhere inside, I always had this one dream — make my own game someday.

Then I found Dani (yes, the OG). That was it. Motivation level: 100. I started building my dream game and worked on it for months.

And then one day… my game files got corrupted.

Emotional damage.

I quietly retired from game development. But honestly, that spark? It’s still there. Just waiting for the right moment.

Let's directly jump onto October 2022. I discovered programming. Took admission into JISCE. Was it a well-planned life decision? Debatable. Possible mistake? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely.

Turns out, Asguard was never about the place. It’s about the people, the chaos, the late-night talks, and the memories you didn’t plan for.

Plot twist… the “mistake” became part of the story. Legen...wait for it...dary.

I showed up, cried immediately, and everyone clapped. Strong start.

Daily routine included sleeping, eating, and dramatic public meltdowns for attention. No responsibilities, no stress, just vibes. Honestly… peak performance. Gugu. Gaga.
