Hello! I am Sanjana Kulkarni. I am just a girl who is fond of experiments and new and exciting things. The other day, when I was travelling, I saw a challenge called the 1000 rejection challenge. For those who don’t know this challenge. It is, as the name suggests, a challenge where the challenger attempts to get 1000 rejections. In doing so, every one of them is trying new experiences, adventures, side quests, and sometimes even their main quest.
Isn’t this exhilarating?! This is a form of pessimism I can and will support. Should I start this challenge too? Hell yeah! But hang on, I already love doing new things. To give some context, I am the sort of girl who loves to throw herself from different heights, to dive deeper depths, to trek to a different world, and whatnot. This challenge is not too hard for me. Frankly, I was never the sort of girl to shy away from what I think are cool-looking experiences. I am immensely glad that I grew up and, even as of now, have that devil-may-care attitude.
I need to learn consistency, commitment, and loyalty to my project or art or craft or whatever I am doing. For as much joy I get from starting something, I know I will get at least 3 times more joy from completing the said thing. There was this book I once read called, “ The Inheritance Games”, I don’t remember the exactly the idealogy, but it mentioned something about this grandfather dude, the live ghost character of the series, would tell each of his grandchildren that on their birthdays, they are to choose one skill, sport or hobby and work on that for the entire year untill their next birthday. I want to try that.
With that spirit, I am going to learn about the field of Computer Science. I know it's rather vast, so I am going to be referring to the GATE syllabus. I must admit I can’t say that this won’t be beneficial to me. I am a BTech student who isn’t planning on writing GATE. But only recently did I realise that these are just skills that I am learning. It may lead to my way of getting bread and butter later, but right now, they are just skills and what other way to make this more interesting than to just view it as a side quest? Bear with me, I am just gaslighting myself to find motivation and courage as I move to this mindset.
As you can see, I am a girl hoping to find direction and live life as loudly and quietly as possible, if that makes sense. I hope that writing this blog will help me discover a new side of myself while loving the few precious parts of me that learnt and endured.
