I would like to talk about my friend whose name is Orgopal and he is one of my best friends. So we know each other since our university days. So when I got into the university, I was taking the major of computer science, but I was extremely bad at it actually because I had no prior experience with computer or programming. So I was really struggling in that period. So then my friend Orko stepped up and he decided to help me. He went out of his way sometimes to teach me the nitty-gritty things and the details of computer programming and the fundamental things. That being said, I was really happy at that time because from understanding nothing to understanding something was a big leap for me actually. Apart from that, as a person, he is a very magnanimous person and humble one. So I learned a lot of humilities from him. And we had to choose a couple of things in common, like he likes to solve programming problems. I also inherited this quality from him. And he also likes traveling. So I also like this hobby. we traveled to India together and that was a really amazing experience and moreover what makes him the best human being is that his ability to keep cam in any situation. So like as I mentioned we participated in programming contest a lot of time but he kept his brain cool at the the pressure movement and he eventually performs better than me. So I think this qualities really make him a big person and a humble person. So that’s my overall experience.

I would like to talk about my friend whose name is Orgopal, and he is one of my best friends. We have known each other since our university days. When I got into the university, I was majoring in computer science, but I was actually very bad at it because I had no prior experience with computers or programming. I was really struggling during that period. Then my friend Orko stepped up and decided to help me. He went out of his way to teach me the nitty-gritty details of computer programming and the fundamentals. That being said, I was really happy at that time because going from understanding nothing to understanding something was a big leap for me. Apart from that, as a person, he is very magnanimous and humble. I learned a lot of humility from him. We have a couple of things in common; he likes to solve programming problems, and I also inherited this quality from him. He also enjoys traveling, which is a hobby I share. We traveled to India together, and that was an amazing experience. Moreover, what makes him the best human being is his ability to stay calm in any situation. As I mentioned, we participated in programming contests many times, and he kept his cool under pressure, eventually performing better than I did. I think these qualities really make him a great and humble person. That's my overall experience.
