Here I am finally, writing for the first time. I am not able to believe and not sure that I am writing a blog or my story or journey towards Data Science. But writing something which might help me or beginners like me.

It is all stated in three years back, I am not satisfied with the Marketing profile I was working in and looking for a transition in a career where I might have a better future( precisely saying can I improve something or use my abilities ).

All I saw in my previous work was to bring the numbers (sales) up and making people happy through whatever possible. I am not going to talk much about what I did or how was it.

It all started for the sole reason of career transition for self-satisfaction and a better future. Here I came through the fancy word of the 20th century (sexiest job what I remember from that I read). So I joined a course which is costly (‘costly’ because — when I said to people I joined a course everyone was saying ‘yaar that course cost was literally expensive’). I was happy when we put more money in something, initially, my feeling was I will get better output from that. Trust me, efforts and time are more worth than money.

So how to become a data scientist: My mantra — find some sources you may get learning (there are a lot of sources available online and offline), next is all practice dedicate time ( no more shortcuts). Repeat until you feel you are successful (success — meaning differs from individuality)

I started learning Python, SQL, machine learning and have to learn Deep Learning, AI ( learnings that are planned a head)

I will write a different page for each learning and approach for the learning separately.
