Hello Everyone!

I am a Gen-Z individual born into a typical upper-middle-class Indian family that places a high emphasis on academic excellence. I am currently pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). My parents don’t support my hobby of playing video games, despite knowing that I am a huge fan. Only my sister, Mehak Adlakha, supports my hobbies to some extent, provided I achieve good marks.

My content will mostly revolve around gaming theories, reviews, and opinions. I own a gaming laptop, which I obtained after much hardship — a story for another day. To date, I have played many great games, and I believe gaming is a great way to escape a hectic schedule. It brings me peace and feels like it completes my life. Gaming is a very important part of who I am.

Interestingly, my interest in gaming was sparked by none other than my father. He used to make me play games when I was very young, around 3–4 years old. I think he felt proud that, despite my young age, I had so much knowledge of games and computers. We used to play MotoGP together on our old PC — those were the golden days of my life.

In 2013, he even bought me a Sony PlayStation 2 and used to bring me PS2 games from Karol Bagh in Delhi, a PlayStation market. The joy I felt from playing WWE Here Comes The Pain, CALL OF DUTY, FIFA 14, God of War, NBA, GTA, and more on my PS2 was perfect. I am grateful to my father for all of this!

Current Scenario — To this day, I am longing for a PlayStation 5, but my father always says, “Buy yourself a PS5 with your own money once you get a job.” Cut to my sister Mehak Adlakha. She has a well-paying job and a very big heart towards me, but she’s also been procrastinating buying me a PS5 for the past six years.

And my chase for a PS5 still goes on!!!

Thank you for taking the time to read about my journey with gaming and how it has shaped a significant part of who I am today. Let’s build a community where we can discuss gaming theories, share reviews, and enjoy meaningful conversations about our favorite games. Let’s connect and celebrate our passion for gaming together. Your support means the world to me! Happy gaming! 🎮✨
