School’s done. Been doing nothing for months.
College started on July 2. Hostel life. Didn’t suck. Things were much better than what I expected.
I love SASTRA. The place is very vibrant and there are lots of events happening. SASTRA Premier League (SPL), Dance and vocal auditions, Tech club meets, GLOSS meets (it’s the FOSS wing at SASTRA). Plenty more.
No restrictions. No study hours. Lots of freedom. I love that. Just love that.
So many new friends. Chit Chats. Talking much. Socializing like never before.
Sleeping only at two early morning and waking up at seven o’ clock. I’ve never slept after ten p.m. when I was at home.
Time just flies when I’m in my hostel room. Rooms are good enough.
But I’m bored of mess food. I really miss my mom’s food than anything else.
Having said that, I should also mention the mess is very hygienic.
Teachers are loading us a bit with assignments. Mid semester exam in about ten days. Have learnt only Physics and Math and nothing else.
ATM here is bad. Outages often.
Been spending some bucks. Should learn to manage money better
Setup a Buxfer account to track expenditure.
Skype for video chats with Granny, Mom, Dad and Sister at home.
The Wifi is slow practically because lots of people are using at once. Got a Reliance Datacard, which again sucks bad and gets disconnected often.
Didn’t get ragged.
Thankfully.
Right now at home for Avani Avittam Holidays. Met schoolmates.
Life is cool. Life sometimes appears like it’s monotonous
Jude told me on Twitter: “Do something you can be proud of in college”. It’s on my head every minute.
I want to do something at SASTRA. May be something like this. Or this. Or this. Or this. Or something else I haven’t thought of yet.
I want to make a six figure income. The day I die, I want to be remembered as someone who contributed something to the world. Someone that changed things and people.
Now is the time to start. I want to extract the best out of the next four years. Out of the place I’m in.

All the best
Thank you
Nice to know that you are having a good time. Try billmonk, its better than buxfr
Also last heard ambitions folks almost always make it big
Good luck
I did not get the thing about Mashable and Yahoo! Answers. Were they done by people while still in college? Or u meant making something significant like those which will have some true impact on others lives?
And btw what is the feed url again? My old eyes can’t track them well
@Nivi: Thank you. I haven’t heard of Billmonk, but I’ll check it out now.
@Debasish: Mashable wasn’t done by Pete when he was in college. It was done right after he left school AFAIK. Yahoo! Answers wasn’t, too. But I want to do something like that when I’m in college
Just set up a Feedburner feed for this site: http://feeds.feedburner.com/shankarganesh/journal
Wow Shankarganesh, didn’t know what I said made an impact on you. Glad it did. And good luck for coming up with something that will make you stand proud.
With best wishes,
Joseph
Thanks, Jude
It did have an impact on me.
