Introduce Yourself for Google Code-In

My name is Toshita Barve and I am 15 years young. I am from Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. I am currently studying at Poorna Learning Center in 9th grade. I heard about Google Code-In three years ago from my father, who has been involved with Google Summer of Code for the past four years. My father encouraged me to participate in Google Code-In since it would help me in the future. By participating in Google Code-In, I hope to gain coding experience as well as learn about the new developments in Open Source Software. I have contributed to projects like Sugar Labs, BRL-CAD, and Drupal through which I have met many enthusiastic people who are making advancements in Open Source Software. I am also interested in Open Data and Open Science since they expose science to a wider group of people.

Trip

"How was the trip?" you ask. 2 words. Long and exhausting. The food was good. They gave us little cups of chocolate mousse mixed with cherry. 'Twas delicious. Before getting on the plane I texted some of you to say goodbye. Some you texted back with movie recommendations. Sorry Emma, but horror and I do not go together. The comedy that was requested, I watched. Disney movies dominated the list of movies I watched.. Some of you called to say goodbye and almost made me cry (Emma). The phone number that I had is no longer my number (unless you have a What'sApp), so you will have to find another way to contact me. I reached Bangalore at 3 am. Got home around 5 am. Finished a sudoku before the sun came up. Had some breakfast. And slept. When I awoke from my beauty sleep, I hung out with my friends, who I'm temporarily living with, and wasted time.

Miss y'all,

Toshita
