+My Journey Continues: Week 1 Progress with DIPY

+Hello everyone,
+I am back with another update on my Google Summer of Code (GSoC) journey with DIPY. The Community Bonding period has come to an end, and I am now fully immersed in the Coding phase of the project.
+
+Progress So Far
+---------------
+
+Last week I updated my PR with required functionality for it to be ready to be integrated. I was having trouble with CI(Continuous Integration) pipeline in Github, I reached out to the whole team in GSOC and received support immediately,
+I am really grateful to `Iñigo Tellaetxe <https://github.com/itellaetxe>`__ and my mentor `Serge Koudoro <https://github.com/skoudoro>`__ for providing me necessary insights to fix the issue with CI.
+I also put up another very small PR to fix the codespell issues happening in the CI. 
+
+Expanding the Decorator Implementation
+--------------------------------------
+
+Building upon the foundation laid during the Community Bonding period, I have been looking into the expansion of the decorator implementation across more modules in DIPY.
+I have gone through the required functions and tests. I will have to plan which modules are next for change with my mentor.
+I will write comprehensive tests in this part as well. Also will be updating the necessary documentation as well.
+
+Refining Decorator Implementation
+---------------------------------
+
+I will continue to refine the decorator implementation based on feedback from the community and my mentor. This includes fixing any bugs, improving performance, and enhancing the documentation further.
+
+Lazy Loading Integration
+------------------------
+
+In addition to expanding the decorator implementation, I have begun researching for Task 2, which involves integrating lazy loading into DIPY. Lazy loading is a design pattern that can help improve the efficiency and performance of the codebase by delaying the initialization of objects until they are actually needed.
+I will begin this task when my mentor will advise me to.
+
+Community Engagement
+--------------------
+
+Staying engaged with the DIPY community is crucial. I will try to participate in discussions, seek feedback, and collaborate with other contributors to ensure the success of the project.
+
+Final Thoughts
+--------------
+
+The first week of the Coding phase has been incredibly productive, and I am excited about the progress I have made so far. The support and guidance from my mentor and the community have been invaluable, and I am looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
+
+Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to work on enhancing DIPY!
+
+Thank you for reading!
