 entry, also important if we want to grow the user base.
+'''What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?'''
+If I am stuck and my mentor is not around, I will search on the web and stackoverflow for
+solution. If that does not work I would ask the question on IRC and Sugar-devel mailing list
+to get help from other members of the community who contribute to Music Blocks. Some of
+my college seniors also contribute to open-source, I can get help from them as well.
+'''How do you propose you will be keeping the community informed of your progress and'''
+'''any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?'''
+I will write a blog, where I will post updates of my progress as well as difficulties that I faced
+weekly. I will post to Sugar-devel mailing list after completing important milestones and I
+will also attend meetings which are held on #sugar-meeting.
+=== Miscellaneous ===
+'''Link to screenshot of Sugar development environment'''
+My project does not require Sugar development environment, but I have set it up in virtual
+machine.
+'''link to a pull request or merge request you have made'''
+<nowiki>https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/pull/1170</nowiki>
+<nowiki>*</nowiki> I will be adding more pull requests soon
+'''Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''
+I was weak in mathematics when I was a kid, although I used to attend all the classes. When
+the teacher solved questions on blackboard, I just copy them to my notebook mindlessly.
+Once I scored very badly in Mathematics exam. I then talked to the teacher and he asked me
+to try solving questions before seeing answer. I followed his advice and started solving
+exercise questions and asked for help only after I had tried enough. This helped and I
+became good in mathematics. This was a very good learning experience for me.
+'''Is there anything else we should have asked you or anything else that we should know'''
+'''that might make us like you or your project more?'''
+Sugar Labs is doing very good work to provide equal opportunity to students all over the
+world to learn, but one thing that I have noticed is that our community need to have better
+outreach to prospective contributors, this would make us grow fastly as an organisation.
+After summers I would like to work with Sugar Labs team to increase our outreach.
