Hi Piyush,

Welcome aboard!

One strategy is start with an application you use the most, because the
improvements will have an impact on you directly.  In that sense it is
good to see actual results shortly and to keep yourself motivated.

There are more tips in https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeLove/FindingTasks

Also, you will find some list of potential projects and mentors in
https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeLove/Mentors (the list is not comprehensive,
but it might help you to start with).

I am unsure if you have gone already for those documents yet.  Please,
let us know so we can guide you better.
