In the heart of Bharat, in a humble home filled with warmth and dreams, lived Ridit, a 14-year-old boy who saw the world not just through his eyes, but through the magic of code.
While most kids his age were hooked to social media, Ridit was enchanted by something else — OpenGL. His fascination began when he stumbled upon an old forum post titled “Graphics with C++”. From that day, he was unstoppable: drawing triangles, rotating cubes, and crafting scenes late into the night with only his laptop and endless curiosity.
As his parents’ 23rd wedding anniversary approached, Ridit wanted to do something different. Something that spoke from his heart — not with expensive gifts, but through something far more personal: a 2D animation built entirely in OpenGL.
He worked tirelessly.
Every frame, every vertex, every color was lovingly handcrafted.
On the night of their anniversary, he dimmed the lights and asked them to sit. Then he played the animation.
His mother was speechless, her eyes brimming with tears. His father simply placed his hand on Ridit's head and whispered, "You’ve made us prouder than any award ever could."
What began as an experiment with graphics became a timeless memory, reminding everyone that the greatest gifts don’t come from stores — they come from the heart, shaped by passion and purpose.
And somewhere in that small town in Bharat, Ridit continues to build — not just programs, but stories, love, and legacy.
