=== A childhood learning experience ===
:If I run into any problem, I will obviously ask my mentor, or on the mailing list. Most of the projects I'll be using are well documented and can be understood. Moreover, I have the lucky advantage of having a friend, Aneesh Dogra, who is really comfortable with the sugar environment and can help me out.

: As a child, the most memorable projects my dad and I did together were building hot-air baloons and a guitar amplifier.
Frankly speaking, if you receive a proposal from a more knowledgeable applicant, which would be probable to a great extent, I won’t mind losing to them. I admit that I may not have spent a great deal of my life programming and I have a lot to learn,but  I’m happy with the way I’m picking up this field. I consider getting into GSoC under SugarLabs more of a learning opportunity that I’d like to get than anything else.
