Day 013

Image
Woke up at 1:20 PM, I was shocked too! Ate the lunch, played game (Clash royale), Dosed corn, then slept. Woke up again at 5:30 PM. Scrolled instagram, played game. 8:00 went along with AT to bring dinner. AT needed banana too for his friend, so we purchased banana from shop at asharam chowraha (2 km from main gate). 9:10 PM we were coming back, but I was feeling something lone, low & different. Their is one Hanuman Temple in our campus that I used to visit frequent in my first year. It was in the way to Hostel, so I left AT and headed towards temple. Their, in the peace (9:30 PM) and privacy (a guard was near) I sat in the chair and unleashed my thoughts: Is their any upgradation in me?, Am I late?, Am I losing my excitement for coding? Another thing special Today is, I have reached 365 days (1 year) daily challenge streak in Leetcode. But, the thing is 95% of it is just copy-pasted, just to maintain streak. I did 5-min long breathing there, came hostel, ate dinner. Browsed youtub...

Day 012

Image
3:00 - 5:30 AM, we (AT & me) discussed about how, whys & what of that frustrating conversation, enjoyed the peace of night, talked about various things. And for tube-light we decided to keep it, as we worked !(so hard) but in hope that our room would have something unique. 11:30 woke up (NT came for studying). After lunch, I slept. I don't remember when I woke, but NT came that time. After dinner, he came again (11:00 PM) for studying. After sometime, AT called me for his room decorations. 1:00 PM, we (AT & me) were decorating his room, we needed something that was in my room. AT asked me to brought it and I said "NT hai room me, abhi nahi, varna phir kahega mujhe bhi le chalo kabad me" 1 simultaneously, NT knocked the door informing me he's going for sleep, therefore lock the room (mine). I clearly felt in his voice that he heard what I said. My brain wasn't braining. I feel ashamed. Continued decorations. Naively/carelessly broke AT's wall clock...

Day 011

Image
I gave just one task, thought would incremently write another task after completing previous one. So, NT came to my room for study (I'm okay) but he fell sleep in my bed (I was little uncomfortable). Then, at 5:30 PM AT asked us come with him for shopping (Karond), we agreed. 7:00 PM we left hostel. In Karond, we met AT's other friends (they were too enjoying navratri). 11:00 PM we came back to hostel. NT started studying in my room. And asked me to go along with him to search a circular tubelight that he'll use to hang without curtains (I was already using that setup). We somehow found and brought one such tubelight. NT insisted on testing it, and light turned out to be working. NT insisted on keeping that light (as my room had two lights and he wants same). This initiated a frustrating conversation. After an hour or two NT went to sleep. 3:00 AM, continue.  

Day 010

Image
I don't remember when I woke up. But I started reading Hand on ML and completed two hours. Then went to get the lunch. Today, I got to eat two lunch boxes. The other one was AT's. He was away for his internship. After eating I slept. Woke up because of a call from NT (he was facing issue in uploading image in GATE application site). NT came to my room as well as AT we filled his form. Then wasted time (semi filled my form). I did't like NT's and AT's behaviour today. NT sat on study table, folded one of my notebook 360° whereas I rarely open it 180°. And for AT, he completely falls in my bed (he was doing in past but today I washed bedsheet and all). We had dinner, after that AT asked to watch movie, we watched 2 movies. I'm in urgent need to say No. 4:30 AM sleep.    

Day 009

Image
[0] Just came from college and had lunch. Gave myself easier tasks for today. I don't know if it will work, easier task for a day is fine, but will they make me comfortable / lazy? I don't know, but in the past days I'm continuously below these easier tasks too. Another thing in class I realized, I'm left way behind my classmates, especially from our class topper DT. Initially, I though he is good in academics but he has real life practical skills too. This makes me push myself to be a great coder/entrepreneur. [2:30 PM]. [1] 7:00 PM, woke up. AT took me to his room for some modifications. 8:00 PM, we went together main gate (1.5 Km away) to bring dinner, we ate. And after, AT planned to modify my room, I approved as in the meantime I had bath, washed pillow cover, cloths. We did't liked new layout so rolled back. AT gave me another extra table he had. Arranged my setup accordingly. 3:30 AM sleep. Applied Theme - Grub Boot Loader

Day 008

Image
9:30 AM, woke up. 10:40 AM, on the way to department with CM. Attended all 3 classes. Came back, had lunch and sleep. Woke up 40 mins ago from when I'm writing this (7:37 PM). So, my today's/tonight's plan is to have my linux setup running for web-dev and do all the customizations I want. Customization is ever running process so my main focus is on web-dev setup. I will also try to continue the linux course. Another thing is now my college classes have also started, I have to give focus there too (Gotta balance-up CCPA, currently it's 7). We already have assigned our first assignment. [2] So, after having dinner AT asked me to play game, we played for an hour. But then AT entangled in a hot verbal fight. Hence, I spent, I don't few more hours. Then I came room, I though what could go wrong in night? I can complete all the tasks, but real life has various factors. I just set-up my computer. Gonna upload pic. 7:00 AM sleep.   Fedora Set-up Good morning, b...

Day 007

Image
So, I'm writing this the day after and to summarise, I did't made sticky notes task this day cause I woke up at 9:30 AM and 30 mins were left for the first class of semester III. 10:30, I was in the way to department where one of my batchmate/hostelmate met. He said class has not started yet and we came back. Similarly, another hostelmate saw us coming back and joined us. 11:00 AM, second batchmate (CM) called me for second class and I was dressed up already so we went again, there were few students in the class and we got to know that teacher came in first period (we missed that) and second period was empty and finally we got our first attendence in the third period. After college I had lunch and sleep. And after that I just worked on setting up my linux (dual-boot). I'm planning to learn web-dev in linux. I set up browsers, keyboard shortcuts, script to change refresh-rate and resolution (with help of AI) when laptop is unplugged. Then, after dinner AT came to room we pla...

Day 006

Image
So I was installing windows on AT's laptop. Then I worked on installing Catia. Catia got installed on first time but another software Solidworks didn't go well. So I have to uninstall it. Sometime in past AT said he needs Solidworks too that's why I tried installing it. 3:00 AM, I saw a message on whatsapp that 2 new game badges are live. I need 2 more game badges for reaching ultimate milestone in GC arcade facilitator. One of the game was speed-run, means only first 50 players who complete will get the arcade point, I was already 6 hours late, started completing labs instantly but their was one lab which has a 18 min waiting time. I though to take a 10 min nap (6:00 AM) but woke up at 11:AM. Completed the speedrun badge but earned no point (not under 50). Now, trying Dual boot Ubuntu in my laptop(8:40 PM).

Day 005

Image
I solved the leetcode daily question on my own after so many days (cause it was easy level). And 1 Google cloud badge. It was a very non productive day. I was comfy - lazy in my room. But then AT told me he gonna need his laptop (I was using his laptop with linux installed). Now to return his laptop I had to complete two things: Install windows Install Catia (he gonna need that software for his internship). First I tried installing optimum 11 in the 1 TB HDD (so that I can have linux on 256 GB SSD). I got into the windows (took so long) configured many things but after restart there was no boot manger, and something malfunctioned. I realised due to HDD Catia isn't gonna work smooth and as it was his laptop he should be enjoying his resources. I decided to install windows on SSD. Continue on "Day 006".

Day 004

Image
"Day 004" was quite nice than days before. Instead of nothing I did something. I didn't completed all the tasks but I earned 9 GC badges (target was 15) and I also resumed my ML session. I felt very exciting when I read the first python program of Hand's on Machine learning, was able to understand what the code is doing, I just wanna dive deep into ML. Just this Google Cloud badges are taking so much time. To complete 9 skill badges I almost spent 7 hours. I think I need to optimize the flow. Their are other tasks too. I don't know why? but my biggest fear / thing that seems difficult is DSA. I recently saw quote from Gemini (recommendation for sticky notes) "Progress, not perfection" and I think this makes sense. I'll try to do some of all the tasks. I read ML for 41 min. then thought to take a nap but woke up at 11:00 AM.

Day 003

Image
Similar as before, after writing "Day 002", I just ate the lunch and slept. Woke up at 7:00 PM went to AT's room (just a casual visit). But he was about to go Karond (market) for buying room decoration stuff and I went along too. We came back to our room at 9:30 PM, had the dinner. 10:00 PM, we started working on his room. Things we did: Mounting colored sheets in wall. Cutting and fitting the papers. Decorated one wall with maps (one of the state, and one of the world). We were shorted by one chart and had given some to one of our hostel-mate. So, I went out to bring one and I also decided to visit another friend NT (cause he called me 30 mins ago for some problem he's facing in his laptop). But, in NT's room I engaged in a long conversation also created his linkedin profile. It was 2:00 PM I left his room and went straight to the room where I was to get the sheet. Came to AT's room (without sheet cause they were sleeping) . Completed 2 GC badges. 4:00 AM sle...

Day 002

Image
Same as before, this is the day after when I'm writing this. And I have not completed even a single task this day. After I finished "Day 001" blog, I ate the lunch then I fell for distraction, loose mind and body control. 3:00 PM, slept. Woke up at 6:00 PM. Then I took shower and washed cloths. Wasted some time overthinking. 9:00 PM had dinner. And after dinner, I started working on my room decorations. Things that I worked on: A loose wired, rusty, semi working cooler that I collected from room in-front of mine. (that room was closed for 2 years. Last student comitted suicide. This year that room also got alloted to someone) I also had an extra tubelight that I installed on my room. ( It was AT's room, but he bought new brighter one). Completed work around 4:00 AM. Then sleep.

Day 001

Image
It's bad. I just checked the to-do list and it didn't even have a single green mark. Another fact is that this is not even the same day; it's the day-after when I'm writing this. Yesterday, morning was typical raw. Around 12:00 AM I made this list, after completion I started learning linux. Completed 17 mins and it was lunch time. After that, I just fell for distractions. Thinking I could complete at-least 2-3 tasks I have day left and it's day 1 it's going to be raw. Around 3:00 PM one of my friend PR asked my ATS-friendly resume and I don't have one. Started making resume cause it's for an internship opportunity. 5:00 PM, another friend AT came to my room and we went for shopping. 9:00 PM, came back but we just had dinner and did room-decoration stuff (we got new hostel room recently). 2:00 PM sleep.  

300 Days To Change My-self & Be The Version I Want To Be

Image
Recently (a day or 2 ago), I bought this both-side blank, spiral-binding, 300-pages notebook. It's my first spiral-binding type notebook. And for the past 2 weeks, there have been significant changes around my life. My third-year session started, I got a new hostel room allotted, and many of my friends were now serious with their lives (career, health). What I want to be? It's the version of my-self that I have in my mind for a long time (from 11th). i.e., I would be a great programmer/tech person. I would have full control over my mind and body. Have a great mindset, thinking style, and personality. Why Now? Half of my college life has passed and there have been many indications I'm the same person I was 5 years ago. This new room I got allotted is better than the previous one (it has a strong mobile network - my biggest obstacle). And I bought a special 300-pages book.
