People often fill this void by seeking external validation, leading to a trap where they become dependent on others’ perceptions. https://sambanamuduri.in/blog/mental-health/ Tue, 16 Sep 2025 12:39:06 +0530 https://sambanamuduri.in/blog/mental-health/ My Mental Health Journey: Embracing the “New Normal” Reflections on a Year Without Blogging—It’s taken me over a year to create a new blog post, which might seem strange to me.

The game runs in the console and lets two players choose between X and O to play a 3x3 grid. It’s a classic, and it was a fun project to practice basic Java concepts like arrays, loops, conditionals, and user input handling. import java.util.Scanner; class TicTacToe { static Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to TicTacToe"); System. https://sambanamuduri.in/aboutme/ Thu, 08 Aug 2024 11:13:06 +0530 https://sambanamuduri.in/aboutme/ Hey! My name is Samba. I write my system and backend programming, and I have a background in backend development with Java, Spring, and other JVM technologies, along with experience in Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
