From Day 1 (20 July 2023) at IIT Bhubaneswar to standing at my convocation on 18 April 2026 — this journey feels surreal. It started with uncertainty and curiosity, and slowly turned into years filled with learning, challenges, and growth. From classroom lessons to taking on responsibilities as a Placement Coordinator, every phase taught me something beyond textbooks. In between, there were countless moments with friends, late-night talks, shared struggles, small wins, and memories that made this journey truly special. Grateful to Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar (IIT Bhubaneswar), the Department of Computer Science, my professors Debi Prosad Dogra, Sudipta Saha, Joy Chandra Mukherjee, Manoranjan Satpathy, srinivas pinisetty, Debiprasanna Sahoo, Abhik Jana, Devashree Tripathy, Manas Jyoti Kashyop and my guide Dr. Padmalochan Bera sir for their constant support and belief in me throughout. A special thanks to my parents and sisters for being my constant support system through every high and low. I hope I’ve made you proud. A chapter ends, but the learnings and memories stay forever. 🎓 #MyJourney #Gratitude #IITBhubaneswar #Learning #IITIAN #Convocation #NewBeginnings
