Oh heck yeah! It's also March Madness here in the US for anyone who likes college basketball. It's kind of a big deal near me because I live near the college UNC in Chapel Hill... that's the same college that Michael Jordan graduated from and they have a really good basketball record.

That's awesome, Michael! March Madness is definitely a big deal, especially near college campuses. I'm also applying to CS undergrad programs in the US, hoping to get into a program that provides a strong foundation. While I didn't apply to UNC Chapel Hill, I'm excited to see which schools I do get accepted to on April 1st. If I end up attending a college near you, it would be great to connect and maybe grab coffee sometime!

I'll let you know which one I get into!

Woooaaaa! Rock on Jitendra. So cool to hear that you're looking to come stateside for school.

I would love to connect with you IRL for a coffee. Please keep in touch with me and let me know where you end up.

And really hope that you get into your top choices! 🙌

Thanks a bunch!

Will definitely keep you posted on my journey and where I end up. Fingers crossed for those top choices! 🤞 Let's plan that coffee meet-up soon.
