      <title>Positive Thinking</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey buddy, what's up?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's start with giving some exercise to your brain, a simple puzzle.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 35?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;(Don't google! And give yourself a minute to think the solution) Answer will be posted in the end for you to cross-check :) But make sure you read my blog first 😁&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What are you thinking about today?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How many thoughts do you believe you'll get everyday? You might say probably twenty to fifty and you might &lt;strong&gt;bet not more than a hundred...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the experts estimate that on an average, a human mind thinks between 2500-3300 thoughts per hour, that's roughly between 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts every day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I know you think this is insane number, but it's true.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  I Dreamed last night...
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I literally dreamt about a suspense thriller movie in my dream last night. I imagined a story with a famous Tollywood actor &lt;strong&gt;Mahesh Babu&lt;/strong&gt; as the Protagonist(Hero) and &lt;strong&gt;Sonu Sood&lt;/strong&gt; as the Antagonist(Villain).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Hero works in a shipping harbour as a normal employee in a&lt;br&gt;
foreign country and one day he gets a deal to deliver some shipping. He packs it in the container and send it in a large container ship.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just after it leaves the harbour, Sonu Sood reaches the harbour in hurry and narrates Mahesh Babu that the shipping has something that's NOT supposed to be shipped and Illegal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hero tries to know what's there inside the container, but Sonu Sood throws some dialogues at the hero and he is not coming straight to the point. After sometime, he reveals that it has some &lt;strong&gt;slaves&lt;/strong&gt; and some one is doing &lt;strong&gt;Human Slavery transport business&lt;/strong&gt; from a long time.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--R-3TUC6J--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/08wcsq3g8h61yzukf6j0.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--R-3TUC6J--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/08wcsq3g8h61yzukf6j0.jpeg" alt="Human Slavery image"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I forgot the actual dialogue.. very powerful one!!!! That could drive both Sonu Sood and Mahesh Babu fans crazy!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Of course I woke up at the top of the plot reveal 😂 and typing this at 1.20am in my WhatsApp group(with just me) 😜 so that I won't forget when I wake up in the morning.😂&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, don't ask me why Sonu Sood would reveal the secret to the Hero, himself being the villain. Ask my sub-conscious mind... Because, I don't know 😅, may be he'll become a changed man and help hero as a new antagonist arrives. My subs-conscious mind has a lot of twists in the tale...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  It's the Power of your Subconscious mind!
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How did I do it?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The same day, I watched some instagram reel of Mahesh Babu answering a question on a movie with &lt;strong&gt;SS Rajamouli, the director of Bahubali&lt;/strong&gt; that some announcement will come real soon.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The same day, I saw the news about Sonu Sood's Income tax rides at his home and some news around it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Few days ago, I watched an &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWMtz5VRmQ8&amp;amp;t=624s"&gt;Youtube Video&lt;/a&gt; that has containers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Django Unchained is my favourite movie that's based on human slavery.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;My subconscious mind filmed a multi crore budget movie, 🎥 🍿 &lt;br&gt;
from whatever I feed it in the last few days, may be reading it on social media, or watching something related on TV. Whatever it is, I'm feeding my mind constantly, indirectly or directly.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;So, feed your mind with Positive thoughts.&lt;br&gt;
Be grateful and compassionate everyday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are what you think about all day.&lt;br&gt;
You are what your thoughts are!&lt;br&gt;
You are what you believe...&lt;br&gt;
and you can only change that belief by having a &lt;strong&gt;POSITIVE ATTITUDE&lt;/strong&gt; towards the life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Time to answer the puzzle...
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The answer is &lt;strong&gt;ONLY ONCE&lt;/strong&gt;, because once you subtract 5 from 35, the number will become 30, and then 25,20 and so on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I'm subtracting 5 from 35 only once.🤣🤪&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Have a positive day, dear!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>print("Hello, World!")</title>

      <guid>https://dev.to/balireddypraveen/print-hello-world-56op</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello mate, How're you doing? I'm doing extremely well!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm &lt;strong&gt;Praveen&lt;/strong&gt; and this is my first ever blog.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this article, I would like to share my experiences on how I started on coding.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;I wrote my first piece of code during my Bachelors, way back in 2015. We had C-language in the very first semester of the Bachelors. First few months was full of theory and I didn't write any code. And yes, &lt;del&gt;Hello,World!&lt;/del&gt; was NOT my first program! I remember printing something like a square of stars(*) on console using &lt;code&gt;printf()&lt;/code&gt; in C-language.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;Currently, I am working at an Indian Unicorn as a &lt;strong&gt;Python developer&lt;/strong&gt;. I have been working on Python only since the initial days of my professional career.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The question is &lt;em&gt;How Did I learn Python?&lt;/em&gt; I didn't had Python in my Bachelors curriculum, we just had C, Java and.... &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We had HTML too but not mentioning it as I'm afraid all the other developers will attack me to call it a programming language :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That was my first year in Bachelors, I didn't have a PC or Laptop. I first heard of the language "PYTHON 🐍" in my college library with a small computer room with around 30 computers (max 10-15 will work at any point of time). While I was waiting for my turn, I observed one of my seniors were writing code and when I asked him: "&lt;em&gt;what is this language, I haven't seen this type of computer code?&lt;/em&gt;" &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Poor me, I knew only C-language at that time and thought everyone will write code in only one language :(&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He replied, "&lt;em&gt;It is Python.&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;Two years later, I started learning Python on my own from several resources like Youtube, Blogs etc., I practised on my own and had some hands on in the language. In my experience of competitive coding, I used Python to solve questions as I felt it's very easy to use and apply the logic when compared to other languages like C and Java.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's how I learned Python and working as a Python developer from the beginning of my career!! It helped me a lot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I want you to understand that every small thing matters a lot, every experience counts!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I would love to learn new things from great minds of the community &amp;amp; give something back to community to help people.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank You, Have a wonderful day!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
