Chapter 16 - Connections and Oversleeping

Vikram, after completing his morning workout, returned to his room to freshen up and prepare for the day ahead. Today's agenda included gathering with Aditya and potentially meeting with Aria and Priya to discuss progress and plan the next steps for the MP3 player project.

With a sense of determination, Vikram approached Aditya's room, intending to inform him about the planned meeting with the rest of the team later in the afternoon, near the sprawling tree. He knocked on the door, but there was no response. Confused, he knocked again, a bit harder this time, hoping Aditya would hear. Still, there was silence.

Perplexed, Vikram stood outside Aditya's door, unsure of the situation. Deciding not to disturb him further, Vikram left a note expressing his intention to meet later, and with that, he headed towards his morning class.

Meanwhile, Aditya, deep in a blissful sleep, was oblivious to the knocking on his door. The alarm he had set failed to wake him because of the exhaustion from the previous night's work. As Vikram left the note, Aditya continued his peaceful slumber, unaware of the plans for the day.

Vikram, now focused on his morning class, entered the lecture hall, ready to engage in the day's academic endeavors. As he took his seat, thoughts of the MP3 player project lingered in his mind. After the class concluded, he gathered his belongings, ready to move forward with the day's plans.

Vikram found himself near the sprawling tree, the designated meeting spot, as the afternoon approached. Aria and Priya soon joined him, and they exchanged greetings.

"Hey Aria, Priya, you both look lovely today," Vikram complimented them. Aria embraced a casually chic style with her go-to ensemble, featuring a well-fitted pair of mid-rise jeans that accentuated her figure. She paired them with a loose, bohemian-inspired or floral-patterned blouse, giving off a carefree and artistic vibe. Her rolled-up sleeves and slightly oversized fit added to the overall relaxed yet fashionable look.

Priya, the social queen, exuded confidence in her fashion choices. She effortlessly blended sophistication with a touch of playfulness. On this day, she opted for a stylish knee-length dress adorned with a lively floral print. The dress complemented her figure, and she paired it with comfortable yet chic block-heeled sandals.

Both Aria and Priya blushed, pleased with the compliments. Priya, noticing Aria's shyness, decided to tease her, "Vikram! Vikram! Do you know about Aria's dress... umm... hmm..." Aria, realizing where Priya was heading, playfully covered her mouth, anticipating Priya's mischievous comment.

Vikram chuckled as Aria, sensing her shyness and wanting to shift the focus back to the project, gave him a playful smile. In a swift and surprising move, Aria used a universal technique often employed by many to redirect attention—she playfully twisted Vikram's waist at 180 degrees. Vikram, feeling the sudden pain, let out a surprised "Ouch! Ouch! Aria, it hurts! Forgive me, please."

Aria, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, grinned, "Consider that payback. Now, let's focus on the project, shall we?"

Vikram, still recovering from the unexpected twist, chuckled, "So Priya you might have heard it from aria I need a software developer and UI designer and I have added Aditya from electrical engineering department he is my dormmate he was supposed to come i dont know why he is not he," So did you find anyone? Vikram's gaze fixed on Priya as he awaited her answer.

As Vikram finished speaking, Priya continued, "Yes, Vikram, I've got a friend who specializes in software development. He's proficient in various programming languages, and I'm sure he'll be a valuable addition to the team. I'll coordinate with him to ensure he understands the project's scope and requirements."

Aria added, "And my friend in graphics and design is eager to contribute. She has a strong sense of what looks good and what users prefer. I believe her creativity will enhance the overall appeal of our MP3 player."

Vikram, pleased with the progress, suggested, "Great work, both of you. Let's aim for a meeting with them as soon as possible. Aditya is on board for the hardware, and we'll be all set with a solid software and design team.

Vikram bid his goodbyes to Priya and Aria, heading towards Aditya's dorm. As he knocked on Aditya's door, he heard a noise from inside, signaling that Aditya was finally awake. Aditya, looking slightly disheveled from lack of sleep, apologized for oversleeping.

"No worries, Aditya. We had a productive discussion with Aria and Priya. I've got some potential team members up for the software and design aspects. We're planning a meeting with them tomorrow or the day after that to discuss the project," Vikram updated Aditya. "What were you up to that you slept the whole day?"

Aditya, still rubbing his eyes and trying to shake off the grogginess, chuckled at Vikram's question. "Well, I was up late working on some initial concepts and designs for the Microcontroller and researching companies that could manufacture the chips for us. I guess I lost track of time due to it," he admitted with a sheepish smile. "But do come tomorrow after class; I want to discuss something important to you."

Vikram raised an eyebrow, teasingly. "So, the genius was at work. No wonder you overslept. But hey, your dedication is what we need for this project, but don't overwork too much."

Aditya, now fully awake and smiling wryly, responded, "Absolutely, Vikram. Making this MP3 player is a significant change, and I got carried away. Do let me know if there's anything specific I should prepare for the upcoming meeting?"

Vikram nodded, appreciating Aditya's commitment. "Get a brief overview of the Microcontroller designs you've been working on. In order to impress potential team members, we want to showcase our vision and preparation. We're not just building an MP3 player; we're crafting an experience."

Aditya agreed, "Got it. I'll make sure to have everything ready for tomorrow. This is an exciting journey, Vikram."

As Vikram left Aditya's dorm, he couldn't help but feel a surge of optimism. Now that I need is a team i just have to wait for the meeting.
