I was a very ordinary software engineer working in a mid-sized company.

One day I have


seen a beautiful girl on LinkedIn. She was an influencer who is working at Microsoft,
which is a very big company and earns 10 times more than me. One day I had a virtual
session with her, which she offers a free trial for the first time. She was very pretty and
was very sweet. Don't know how I started loving her. However, it is not possible for me
to marry her due to the current situation. She is planning to marry a software engineer
who earns 10x of her, and he works in Bloomberg London. Whereas me, I have nothing
with me to ask her to love me.

One day one of my friends came to me and offered me a free trip to Hong Kong and
Macau. He showed me gratitude for helping him to succeed. I went to Hong Kong and
Macau. I stepped into the luxury casinos of Macau. Many people are losing their money.
I went near a game and approached a person and asked how to play the game. He
explained to me. There is a machine that generates a random 3-digit number, and if we
are able to guess it, we can win 10x times the money which we invest. I have been
observing the machine; it makes the dice rolling sound with a different frequency for a
fixed interval of time and displays the number. I had recorded all the frequencies and
numbers which it generated. The previous number + unique frequency = current
number. But the unique frequency is encrypted, which is hard to decrypt. I have made a
bot that would listen to the frequency, decrypt it, and send the decrypted value to the
machine learning model that I have built. I have built a machine learning model that
receives the decrypted data and generates the desired output. I have trained it with the
data and have made a confusion matrix to check the accuracy and got 78% accuracy.

I went to the casino with 1000 dollars and have decided to bet 10 times with 100 each. If
I win for 8 times, I will become a billionaire as my amount would get multiplied by 10^8
times. Even if I win only 2 times out of 10 times, I would be making a decent return of
20%, which I can compound gradually and become a millionaire. But fortunately, my
algorithm worked, and I have made 3 billion dollars and became a billionaire. I came to
know that some of the people in the casino came to know the truth and were planning
file a suit against me. But I have already received the amount and have booked a flight
ticket to India and went back home.

All of a sudden, I came to know that she is planning to quit her job in Microsoft and start
her own startup. I have become an angel investor in her new company and have become
close to her and married her and led a happy life.

Like all stories, this one also begins with once upon a time. So...

Once upon a time, there was a child, just like us. He laughed, cried, played, did
everything else that every kid in the world does. He threw tantrums, forced his parents to
buy him toys, had friends and was good at sports in school. But one day when he woke
up, there was something unusual. He could not see clearly. He was just 9 then.

But it did not affect him much. He continued being like every other child - playing and
eating chocolates. But as he grew up, when he was a teenager - the fact hit him. He
realised that he may not be able to do things other boys his age do. It hit him really hard
when all his friends were getting their first bikes and cars and Driving Licenses to drive.
That is when he cried and felt helpless for his inability to do so many things that seem
normal.

But his lively nature lived on. In his group of friends, he was the life of the group. He
would see the lighter side of everything and crack jokes making everyone laugh.

One day, his friend came to him and informed him about one of the stand up comedy
shows that was happening in town and insisted that he should perform. In the beginning
he did not pay attention. But slowly his interest was aroused. However, he never wanted
people to know about his blindness and clap for him because they were taking pity on
him.

So he took things on his stride. He practised and practised so hard that he knew exactly
at how many steps from the start of the stage the middle was, how many chairs were
there in the front row, where the mike was and everything else he needed to know. And
no one, not even a single soul in the audience realised that this guy was partially blind.

This continued for quite sometime. And then he decided it was enough and he came
before the audience and declared that he was partially blind.

The person whose story this is is Sundeep Rao - India's only blind stand-up comedian!
Look up for him on google. He is one of my inspirations.
