Gaurav of House Goyal, First of his Name, the Un-Slept, King of Computers, maintainer of this blog, breaker of loops, and Father of Galaxy*.

I am a HUGE Game of Thrones fan.

If I am not playing around with code, I love cycling, hiking/trekking, reading about psychology and technology and I follow about 20 educational youtube channels. :D

Here is my travel map, created on mywanderlust.in.

Apart from the love of technology and traveling, I am a strong believer of

“Education in India doesn’t just need evolution, it needs a revolution”.

After realising that companies like Zostel(I used to work there) are truly helping change the travelling landscape in India, but revolution in education is still missing, I left my job and joined Planet Spark, to be a part of something great.

Personally, I have unlocked something magical in Planet Spark. I am doing things which I never dreamt were possible by me. Being a “Backend Engineer” all my life, I was always afraid of doing front-end technology work. First week while working for ‘Galaxy’, I not only did work on front-end, but I designed/wire-framed the whole platform. Now, working on front-end design elements seems like a “piece of cake”. I have learnt of lot of other things as well, which I won’t bore you with.

To summarise, I have realised,

Highly recommend that you watch this video.

Do schools kill creativity?

I would also recommend that you read this blog post on Developing positive reading habits in your child! Really loved it.

P.S. - I am always looking for more twitter followers.

*Galaxy is the name of Planet Spark platform.
