Changes

My strength lies in my dynamic learning and self motivated hard work. I am a 2nd year undergraduate of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur where I am actively involved with the tech community and contribute to 2 research groups ([http://quadrotor-iitkgp.github.io/ 1][http://www.agv.iitkgp.ac.in/ 2]), 2 tech societies([https://www.robotix.in/team/ 1]), projects under professors and have participated in many competitions and hackathons apart from keeping my academics up. In these two years of my stay, I have learnt a great deal about time management. <b>All the professional level work we do has made me to realize realistic timelines for myself and my team.</b> Though I failed initially, but I am getting better. My work has been mostly in software RnD and autonomous robotics and hence <b>I have gained lots of experience about the process and its time consumption involved in converting an idea to finished product.</b> So, I have learned to plan my work and execute it efficiently.

Another important fact is that <b>my college summer vacations lie in the period of 29th April to 24th July, during which I will be able to devote 100% of my work time as GSoC being my top priority</b> (8-9 hours a day and around 60 hours a week for 12 weeks) towards my contribution. Even though my college semester will start from 25th July, I will still be able to devote 40 hours a week due to a light semester. I also have a head start on the project I would be working on as <b>I have been involved with the Sugar code base since February 1st, added two features [https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/665 1], [https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/679 2], fixed two bugs [https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/668 1], [https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/677 2] and have made the prototype of two features ([https://github.com/ManashRaja/sugar/commit/e186d37182be8baf2feff0c6e3726a5e1b3753b6 1][https://github.com/ManashRaja/cloud-sync-demo 2]) I will develop in this project</b> apart from discussion about the project on IRC. Hence I am confident that I can ensure fully dedicated work and a pledge to deliver more than I promise.
