Imagine this: me, just a scrappy kid trying to survive in the jungle known as school. But instead of recess and high fives, I was dodging bullies left and right. Why? 'Cause my pocket money was less than the price of a fancy pencil. Yeah, I'm talking less than 10 rupees, folks. Cue the sad trombone.

But hey, life's a rollercoaster, and mine was about to take a wild turn. Enter Codeforces, stage left. Suddenly, I had a purpose, a reason to stare at a screen for hours on end. And you know what? I got pretty darn good at it. Coding became my escape from the schoolyard jungle.

Then, just when I thought my luck couldn't get any better, I stumbled upon a secret society on Telegram. These folks were like the Avengers of coding, sharing solutions faster than you could say "bug." And me? I was right there with 'em, soaking up knowledge like a sponge.

But here's the kicker: while those bullies were still counting their lunch money, I was out there making it rain... 20 rupees a day, to be exact. Yeah, you heard me right. From being bullied for having less than pocket change to making more than a fancy coffee in a day. Talk about a glow-up!
