It has been over a month since I wrote this draft. But somehow I forgot about it in the daily activities of a kindled life where waking at 8 am doesn't hurt much! But before you start reading, I must say I do miss college sometimes. Almost everyone does. Sep 27, 2012 Last few weeks have been bit idylic for me. Things have seemed to start falling into place. And as I turn my gaze from the black terminal filled with characters to the right side of my table where I put a table-calendar, I am surprised to see September 10th on it. But it’s almost the end of this month and I haven’t noticed. Days have passed in a breeze. And my college life is almost over! Yeah. As much as I am excited, I am getting nostalgic.

Whatever and wherever I will be, I will always be grateful to these four odd years of college life. I have curs...

Twas 1 hour past the midnight when all through the dorm On  codechef  and  spoj , `geeks’ solved algorithmic problem Hundreds of lines of code they wrote without indentation All they worried about was data structure, cout and cin Faster and faster it was programmed to run Oh boy how genius they were born Few didn’t sleep the whole night They were happy their rank increased in sight And then I remembered one of my own night! I have been programming for little over three years and that too after coming to college. And two years ago, I made a decision. I decided to stop submitting solutions to algorithmic problems – the kind that you find on spoj and codechef. Not because I didn’t love programming, but because what I was actually doing neither it gave me much joy nor I was learning substantially new by doing so. By that time I was familiar with and programming using a number of data types & structures and algorithms – Map, List, Set, Queue, Deque, S...

The corner view: A closer view: It’s my dorm room, where I spend most of  my time writing code, reading books, and just thinking about random events!
