So much resemblence to my own story... What a post Mudraji!! 👏 Really nice!!
I also worked very hard to get into CS... Have worked equally hard for scoring 1 mark as ppl do to earn 1 rupee//$/ etc. Never enjoyed anything in school days - was a total nerd 😳 Was the happiest on earth when I got into CS that too in a highly reputed institution & then started the real troubles 😆 In the very first lecture, one big head of a national level govt. research institute, who was hon. visiting faculty in my institute came & poured all his knowledge of memory, hardware, von neumann architecture, intel pentium chips etc etc onto us in just 45 minutes. 95% of class was like 🤔 Next came Prog. Lang. class. Every statement ended with a semicolon in C. 😲 Everything had a datatype or returntype. Normal & long int or float & double behaved same but took up diff space in memory (Again that buzzword "memory" ) Headers needed be included & at the end of 40 min. Prof. introduced us to "very basic" data structure "Array" The poor us couldnt fathom why we needed to use complicated stuff like array and such tedious prog. lang etc when computers are made to make human life easier
The lab sessions were no less horrible. The first ever program of my life "hello world" in C printed hello world perfectly but Nobody could see it... Program executed & came back to borland C editor I literally had tears in my eyes. Then a kind lab assistant came and put getch(); function before main() ended & included its reqd header <conio.h> I was again all smile smile when I could see "hello world" flashing onscreen!! Chhoti chhoti baaton mein life ki badi khushiyan kaise milti hai - I learnt that day!! Cobol was a nightmare 🤢 A statement had to start from a particular location only & it had to be associated with a number o.w. big fat errors generated and nobody could know what the error msg. meant... The boys in my class too used to be occupied with some or the other "event" only. They always used to copy programs done by orher sincere students. Used to team up with sincere girls for academic projects. Needless to say, we girls did all the hard work but credit was equally given to all team members. Professors never followed any set rules for teaching or paper-setting. Always asked what they taught & taught only what they were comfortable with. Rest all was given as "Self study." For any difficult problem, if we sought Prof's guidance, we were told: "You are engineers; you shouldnt be spoonfed; do it yourself" 😊
Eventually got used to all the troubles, studied very hard and maintained my top rank till I graduated. And finally what... Ek rishta aaya, first ever alliance for me & in just 2 days everything got finalized. We were not aware of each other's existence till day before that day & we were ordained to be lifepartners that day 😳 😃 Hai na kissa kismat ka... 🤣🤣🤣
