@prabhakar267 actually this was a good first issue so I wanted to start off with this one if it's alright :)

@arunikayadav42 please claim only one issue at a time Once you fix that or release it for someone else, then only claim another one There are a lot of people wanting to work on the project, let's maintain the basic OSS courtesy Thanks

Making an exception for this time since you have started working on the issue. You would have to complete this issue before you claim any other issue. PRs by you for any other issues would be rejected right away.

For @darthgera123 , you can pick #24 No one is working on that 😄 /cc @Swati4star
