Me writing the story, in room C608 sitting on my yellow mango coloured chair, preparing for the quiz that is tomorrow, as a masters student. The subject is Computer Vision, which I really always was eager to study well. Now That is in front of me, I need to score marks in that subject. I am the student and mentee of a person, who is well known for Computer Vision in the whole college, AVS Sir, and then I need to score well in this at all cost.
All I need is to study CV, what else is more important than studying your favourite subject? and that to Quiz is tomorrow.
Once upon a time, there to check if hostel rooms are available, I had to move from RnD lab to Hostels, My friend D took me there. And it felt such a long rasta.
I had to visit several times to check if the rooms are available. But all in vain. Then I left the hope of shifting to the hostels as an RA.
No chance, still in the summers of May 2024, I checked if there are rooms. and there was. He allocated me C608 – it was during my parents anniversary that I decided to leave for the hostel stay.
No plans of studying further, just a job to be found, a paper to be published, and thats it.
All it goes to the day when one day I was talking to Bhaskar, and he told me about his research work at IIITD. I then met Monika, Dr Monika, she was PhD student of Sir. I found a paper from her, that used facial features to generate the BP and Heart rate of the person in consideration.
That project again came from a PG Diploma course that I was doing during my time at Stats Perform. Sir was the author in that paper. Monika recommended me to work with Sir.
I applied for it, got selected, and I left the job after few months, gaining some more extra cash.
Worked as an RA. travelled daily, struggled to get a room at hostel. which I later got.
During the last days of RA, I had to leave the hostel, got 15 days of extension from Rajiv Sir coz why not? lets leave the project and move back to home. I had lost all the hope of getting admissions.
On the last day, I got the confirmation of admission in masters program, and that too CSE research. the most awaited program, and the most scary program for the students.
Rajiv sir got happy, as I kept the same room, filled the forms, and I am still staying in the same room as before. hehe.
Now sometimes I feel how it all worked out, I had no idea. I was literally on the wing of the plane, at any point of time I could fall down and story got to be over. But life gave one more slight upgrade. Didnt let me fall down, but also didnt make the journey easy.
I have also purchased the PC from my friend. Out of nowhere I felt to get rid of legion, It was having battery issues and was very heavy. Sorab was selling his PC, so I got it. Now atleast able to use that PC for training purposes. See all random.
The hostel that someday used to be a dream, is now a home.
But again, what stops me from following my dream? my dream of becoming good at Computer Vision? There are no issues at all, but still I am unknowingly avoiding it, Maybe the sea is very deep. and whenever I try to swim to one direction, I start worrying about it being a wrong path. So I change direction and move to opposite side again. This keeps on going and I am lost and stranded in the infinite inaction.
What if I just choose to score full in CV, leave all the assignments and things away, just leave everything. Lets try.
