The Ineligible Millionaire: “Arjun’s character is somebody that you grow fond of as a reader because Arjun is literally the humblest guy in the world, somebody who works really hard, somebody who is trying his best to deal with all the distress in his life. Still, life keeps throwing curve balls at him while he tries to dodge them. He keeps getting hit by them, but he doesn’t stop, and that makes his character extremely inspiring. This is the kind of book that gives out the message that good things are just around the corner and you just have to keep going.” – Saumya’s Bookstation

When I brought my CPU to college lab.

It was final year (2008) practical exam of my engineering (B.Tech). We (project team) developed one project which we had to give demo to external examiner. We tested the same project in college computer lab two days before and it was working fine. But somehow it was giving errors when we tested in morning on the day of practical. We tried for 2-3 hours to fix but no success. We all panicked when we heard that in 30 mins examiner will come to our group.

I recalled that same project is there at my home in my PC and it was working fine in morning as I did practice on it to give demo. So I and my friend got idea to bring our home PC to our computer lab and show project demo from that CPU. But the problem was: my home was 45 mins drive away from college by road. We somehow convinced our faculty that our project is not working so we need to go home for correct code. We got permission and we borrowed 2 hrs of time. 

I and my friend went to my home on bike and brought my CPU to college lab. Then, we connected it with monitor and ran the project. Overall it worked fine, except one issue - one of the user entered value was not inserting in db. This issue I couldn't catch in morning. We were trying to fix but in few minutes we saw examiner coming towards us as we were the only group who was left now. 

Seeing no solution, I immediately set hardcoded value in code, resulting same value to be inserted every time irrespective of user input. And, we (team) all agreed to enter those values only while giving demo. Demo started and God saved all of us that day. We were lucky that the examiner didn't put much attention on that use case. He was very much impressed with the overall work we did, he appreciated us next to our HOD.
