Petrichor to his Heart

"you do understand why we need the graphs and why Networking is important for a coder..." he looked over his shoulder towards her system and mouthed a curse.

His student was still running the different queries he had sent her last night.

"Pallavi..." he called her to gain her attention.

"hmm...five more minutes, this one is last..." she answered without looking at him.

"Didn't I say today we were doing the networks...

"just one minute Raghav... I am almost done...

"Fast... "she would never listen to what he said.

Two weeks had passed since that evening and the scene was forgotten or they had chosen to ignore it and the tuition kept going like before. She was progressing well and doing more than better.

For the last two days, it had become hectic for him, with his prototype almost complete he was answering the tech enthusiasts cum sponsors about it and then he was also working with a few like-minded guys from the college some hydropower project to showcase in the ongoing Festival where he had to write the codes for the model.

A lot of students waited for this fest cause the investors came in search of innovation in the science models represented by the college.

So he was working tirelessly to work on both the things for them to complete on time and he was expected to join another techie in some forty minutes for his own project.

"I'm done... and I know the theory part about networking..." she turned with her chair and faced him.

"Alright? Define Array and linked list... what should be an ideal choice for graphs? FAST!" He threw the questions before making a noiseless move towards her table.

"why such sophistication, you can easily skip all these and it would be done in much fewer steps...here." his fingers acted like the current they were with keys and she was staring at a much smaller code than the one she had typed.

"How did it happen, I swear I went by your words... "Think about the simplest possible way".

"that's okay you would get there with practice and definitions now." he came back to the viva mode as he scribbled a few notes on her notebook.

"so is it a database like MariaDB, Venice...I mean aren't Databases a network of directories," she asked him as they walked towards the exit.

"Yes, they are but what I am creating is a model, the company who buys it would be capable enough to link the other directories for this database to work."

"But how would you know what company is going to buy it from you, I mean an information giant can buy it and they would need to store their client's DOB, location, and hobbies or a medical company can buy it and the database would be used to collect all the medical data like the efficiency of lungs, the weight of liver like ...

"color of eyes." he helped her with her list of guesses.

"Yeah," and they laughed at that.

"so how would your programs change to help the company," she asked him.

"before selling it I would work on it to change the features according to their needs," he replied ever so calmly that the answer seemed the easiest thing and she felt ashamed.

"Oh yes..." she sighed.

"No, you had a reasonable question... All I have is a prototype, the final thing would store data for the company to work efficiently, but if the company wants they can keep it in the public domain for the commons and researchers to take help."
