The Diary

 Consistency is the key to learning. If you keep too much gap in whatever you want to do or learn or pursue, then you tend to forget it and your progress so far will have no meaning. So being consistent is very essential. I have been learning JS but because of being inconsistent in the track, I forget what I do, and that's natural. Not everyone is Mike Ross. It's not supposed to work that way. Also I started with Angular. Maybe I should postpone Angular for a later date as I already have too much on my plate already. Its also very essential that you don't over burden yourself because it will end up tiering you. And the pleasure of learning something new is lost. SO. Be sure to take things not too fast and be sure to enjoy what you do. And of course. Stay consistent.

Everyone is working. Everyone is trying to get through but the only a few stand out. The only difference in them is that one tries to get by at all things, while the other lot strives to be great. The key to stand out is be great at what you are doing. You journey may be different and you may start at 10th place but strive. Strive to get to 1. Do not compare with other and keep going no matter what till you achieve what you wish. Make this journey fun. Compete with your own self. Do as much or as little as you are willing but make sure to do it. A step, no matter how small, is still a step and no matter what anybody says, it is a progress. Do what makes you happy. Celebrate the small victories. They will motivate you to keep going and have fun through the journey 😊

  So this is an experience of my 1st interview. More like the 1st that actually counts. I'm sitting for placement season in my college and I gave 4 or 5 tests by now and cleared the one for Qualcomm. I had an interview scheduled in 3 days of clearing the test. So I started preparing for possibly everything that could have been asked. I slotted my timings and planned the next 3 days. 1st day: all the C programming concepts and OOP concepts. 2nd day: Operating System, DBMS and Computer Network concepts. 3rd day: details of projects that I mentioned in my resume. Now the most time consuming was the 1st day. Tried to cover all that I could. But the content was so much that it never finished. So I did all that I could. The next day I had to revise all the undergraduate studies of OS and DBMS and CN. This was no easy task either. I managed to do major portions of OS, like memory management, Process concept and Synchronisation and deadlock. It was evening by the time I managed to cover OS...

This is most probably the last time I'm going to see a full on vacation and I'm lucky enough to be at home. The world is struck by Corona Virus and countries have announced lockdown as a means to stop community spread. That means, no school, no college, no going out nothing. Perfect! This is probably the best time to gain a few skills while having almost all the time at hand (other than time spent on cleaning, cooking and other stuff). I have 2 months at disposal and when my college opens, I'll be sitting for an exam to pass 1st year of Masters. And as an when next semester starts I'll be sitting for placement in companies. So I have these 2 months to focus on course work as well as competitive coding. But this will become kind of boring to be honest. So I plan to target some other stuff too, like machine learning, or some linux related stuff, or some open-source thing which I can get along (I have no idea how to go about it but have a great interest and mot...
