The PANDA is on TALKS!

Hello Readers. Are you enjoying these vacations? Did you think of doing something new but have not started yet? Have you been motivated by somebody’s work and thought of trying your hand at it?? I,too, was the one who was motivated by a group of juniors who started off with something with a bang! Yeah, you got me correct. It was blogging!!

At the age when I was busy thinking only about IIT, they began off with something on a professional level. Before I even started blogging, these guys had already set a benchmark which kept motivating me to improve post by post. Competition tends to get the best out of you and I have been quite lucky in that respect. Their story inspired me a lot and so, I thought of posting it right here.
Hope you extract the most out of it. Enjoy reading…

 “  It all started in June 2015. The summer vacations had just started and I was bored as hell. You all know summer vacations... They look appealing, but a few days in and everyone wants to go back to school ("At least we can talk to people"). I knew I needed to do something constructive, something that I enjoyed and could also, if possible, help people... That's when I started PANDA Talks. People ask me why I chose that name. The answer is, I have no idea. It just clicked. Hence, PANDA Talks!!

 It hasn't even been a year since I started this and I am completely overwhelmed by the response this thing got... It was like a dream come true. I started alone at first, posting valuable information about computers that people could benefit from, and slowly grew to be the first choice for everyone in our school and district to get any computer related information. I and my friend Manas Khatri, used to have competitions and all, aimed at increasing our popularity. Through this, I met Gagan Yadav, who started as an editor and eventually became the co-admin, and together we brought PANDA Talks to a whole new level. 

Our first big success was the "Flappy Bug! 333", a game which we made and held a competition and also gave big prizes to those who got the highest scores.... The response was amazing. After that, we held a lucky draw and quite satisfactorily concluded it and, to our amazement and luck, a teacher also won, which gave us quite a good name ("wink")!! I am very proud of my team who did such an amazing job and I hope that we will be able to take this initiative to an even higher level!! Credits to the PANDA team :

Special thanks to my very good friend Samarth Vohra as he has been invaluable in this initiative and has provided vital help every time it is asked from him.

So, I hope that I will be able to take PANDA Talks to even greater heights and some day make it known worldwide. That is my dream. ”
