LIFE EVENTS

There are some events which are routine while some memories stay for lifetime. A list of events which helped me in shaping who I am are above.

My school life till 10th in KVSP Marg was chill. Even with less studies, marks were never an issue. Good grades gave me false sense of confidence and digging my own grave.

Things changed as my classes in clas XI started in SPV. Everyday was a struggle from being in top 3 in previous school to last/second last in SPV. Those two years were the toughest school days faced by me. The standard of school was very high and had tough time coping up.

Fast forward and i entered the Charlie Squadron at the National Defence Academy (NDA) in Dec 1994. Life was meant to be roller coaster there and it turned out to be worse :-). Soon i realized running was my waterloo and somehow i managed to finish the 3 years with no worthwhile achievements and third division in graduation. I realized that while in NDA i got carried away with the mentality of being a passenger rather than an achiever, with the soul aim of passing out with my course. If you aim low then you cannot blame anyone. Few things wrongly learnt during training made me pay the price later on in life. One of them being never to Volunteer. I regretted having learnt that.

Keren Company the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun turned out to be no different than the NDA. Only silver lining as i look back was to win the run back trophy. During the third term we got this opportunity to attend the Kedardome expedition but it turned about to be a failure as we lost our medical assistant during the expedition and left many people injured.

OP VIjay- kargil was extremely challenging and real life learning to the max. Long days and nights in bunkers were extraordinarily difficult. NO electricity, or toilets, makeshift bunkers, not many people to interact. life full of solitude. Mental toughness gained here paved way for handling testing times ahead.

2003-2006 I did my B Tech in electronics from JNTU and managed to get a CGPA of 6.87. I started well but got lost after first year.

2010 I cracked the entrance for my PG from IIT-KGP.

2012 I moved out and reached Hyderabad after finishing my PG with 8.7 CGPA. Had published few papers by then for international journal of super computing and globcom conference.
