My One Year PG Life In Chennai...

Hi folks…..


Think it has been a very long time I have written any blogs. Neither I have studied any of my friends blog too!!! But sure I have lots and lots to write now…

Fortunately I have completed my first year of my PG. I cannot predict whether it was successful until my second sem result comes. My fingers are kept crossed waiting for my practical results which was the worst I have done. Do not know how my fate is written. Next semester project has to be dealt; selected shanthi mam as my guide; unknown field as my project area.

The whole year went just like that… but those big big hurdles I have crossed. I didn’t know that I would somehow finish. Those hurdles are nothing but my assignments, deadlines, assessments and mini projects besides these semester exams. I didn’t imagine that am going to cross those deadlines. It was a nightmare for me once. Now I look back surprised… “somehow I came through”.

Considering my attitude and progress the whole year I think I didn’t make up many friends as I thought. Very few in number. But happy that they are trustful. My progress in my studies was little below average and not satisfactory. I can give many reasons for that like my hostel environment ,low curiosity, distractions and so on. But I know that will not be fair on my part. Since I was wholly reason for my less marks. Really not satisfactory. I could have done better.

I was also able to see many people there who were continuously depressing by their butter speech like “ U r really good in studies. Why do u worry”… while they themselves worry for their marks which would be better than mine. And there were some people like “Is that mark isn’t enough for you”. Well, those people are the one who really lamented about their marks once and they give me such an advice when it comes to me. At last learnt a good lesson--- “ Never ever try to rate ur progress to a third person unless he/she is a good well wisher of urs. And whatever u judge about u is far more correct than what other people try to estimate or advice u.”

And enjoyment was quiet good around those environs. Always saw smiles in many faces which I was able to return back heartily. People were really good at wishing each other. Our class outing with Madhan karky sir and his family was nice. Had a great time in Elliots beach drenching myself fully in the sea water. Small small gallatas in class; movies with my friends were fabulous.

My first semester teachers were all great. Really learnt a lot from each of their subjects. Computer Architecture was little vague for me first, but when I started to understand what it really dealt with I enjoyed the subject. I loved Ranjani parthsarathy mam for her way of teaching. Truly she was inspiring. Regarding Easwarakumar sir, I struggled to pass his exam. Fortunately I accomplished it. His notes are all so important and he was genuine in all aspects of granting marks. It meant like it was either u get full marks or a zero. But enjoyed his style too. All other staffs were similarly quite good.

Initially I struggled to survive in my hostel with ever amplified voices of my roommates. Later I was accustomed to that environ. Enjoyed their presence. Lots of outings to T.Nagar, Hotels etc. Also one of my roommate(who was 5 years elder than me) got married later. It was a love marriage with none of their parents on either sides. Got a new surprise over that. Well they are fine now.

Hopefully I will be changing to some other place from next semester. But haven’t decided where.
