From Harsola to AI: How a Village Kid Started Building Intelligence
By Anuj Ror · · 5 min read
Growing up in Harsola, a small village in Haryana, building artificial intelligence felt like something that only happened in big cities and bigger companies. But I never stopped asking one question: why not me?
The first spark
In 2025 I started experimenting with AI tools. At first it was just curiosity — what can these models actually do? Very quickly curiosity turned into obsession. I spent nights learning, breaking things and building them again.
I didn't study AI in college. But I built it anyway.
What I learned
You don't need permission to start. The internet is the biggest university in the world, and every tool you need is one search away. What you do need is consistency — showing up every single day, even when nothing works.
This blog is where I'll share everything I learn along the way: the wins, the failures and the lessons in between.
