The Beginning

There always has been an inner fascination of expressing my feelings in words , how I am experiencing this life. This ended up in me finally deciding to be a blogger. So friends and the well wishers I’m trying my hands at a new endeavor and hopefully it turns out to be a path of success. So here it goes, I, Sankhadeep Sarkar  begin blogging with this being my first article.
                   Born in north Bengal, after spending my initial years in my home state, have been settled in different places across India with Bangalore being my longest stint and is still is , I’m doing my bachelor’s in electronics and communication at M.S.Ramaiah and might end up staying here for another good handful of years.
                   I’m a Bengali of the ‘Prabashee’ type (as is the terminology used, coz I’ve never really stayed in the ‘city of joy’ for a decent length of time) with a formidable  control over the local language spoken here ( I’m pretty sure a few of my pals will definitely heave a sigh’  J). But trust me it does make a huge difference you knowing it else can easily be taken for a ride. My schooling has again been  in a lot of places. St.Mary’s, St.Xaviers, St.Agnes and finally Jindal Public School (JPS,B’lore)  (Don’t really remember the kindergarten ones). 
                  I’ve always been the kind of guy who likes to take part in the various competitions in different fields and I actually did end up doing the same too back in the good ol' days.
                  This actually brings out a lot of old memories, first thing which came to my mind was the  annual essay writing competition in our school every year as part of the academic and cultural events, who else than my mom which tinkles the grey matter first. Each year the topic used to be declared a couple of days prior to the D-day, I used to come home hand it over to my mom and there she went.. ahoy! I’ve ended up being first for 8 straight years all thanks to her, quizzing was another thing I was very fond of during my schooling career .          
                  I was also very keen in the sporting events, enjoyed quite a success there.. Discus throws, Table tennis, shot put and a little bit of hockey too. In short my school days were really really fun. Reminds me the  days in tenth, my school had a highly dedicated faculty  , we used to have the special classes for the boards where we always had a bit of a competition amongst ourselves to finish it first( this always used to happen after the school hours), the incentive: a huge ground waiting out there, and didn’t we use it to the fullest.  Must say we did play something each and every day, didn’t we Ajith.M, Srikrishna, Niraj Sharma, Sachin Annigeri, Vinay.L, Sujay.M, Jobin T Philip,Jeevan Kishore,Thribhuvan Reddy? 
                And then we used to have the new year celebrations where we used to ‘dance’ to the beats of the latest bollytown jingles! And I wasn’t great at it. Period. Definitely seconded by Deepak Garg, Sabari Girish, Harshvardhan Jain,Ishant and Nishant Agarwal, Ashish Singhal, Priyank Garg, Sushil Garg. But the colony was a real joyride. The regular playing of street cricket though was banned, the festivals were sure a helluva a get together.
               Then came the 2 most important years which everybody in India keeps stressing about. I was enrolled into an integrated course which mostly involved study, study and a li’l bit of more study but sure had the share of fun moments too. I met Gautam SY (‘NAZI’), Gagan Kangovi (‘CG’), Shashank KC, Uttam MN(‘kaddi’), Pravin Kesari(‘instant anger’), Vivekanand(‘qutub minar’),Sujay M, Akshay K, Rahul Krishna, Venkat, Sumukha Bhandarkar(‘mouse’),Bharat G.S., Aravind Jama,Kartik Sainathan and a host of others here.                                                
               After which had a decent performance at the entrances and entered to the next phase..’the engineering one’
               I joined MSR after surveying the other options I’d. Wasn't really active in the first couple of semesters but things slowly starting to take shape again and currently in a handful of clubs, I took up debating at the end of 2nd sem and trying to work up the ranks coz I seem to enjoy this. Sure have been going to places and colleges too. ECE is working up decently well  (Aashay incase you remember you’d asked me at  the BCD, taking up electronics biggest mistake in life? Umm.. still would say a no. coz I barely feel the pinch apart from the major shocks the day before the tests ) ,hasn’t been the ideal of starts but the grades have been dropping as expected J ,’ll try and get the positive slope back again. let’s see what the coming day’s have in store. Nazi, Shashubhai ambani, Sandy Gsp, Ungle Pai, Rocky Balboa, Ran GUN, Raghunandan, Prathik Prakash, Rahul Ajay, Naveen Murthy, Sumith Jain, Maddy, Hardy boy, Rajib Ganguly,..long list this one.. great time till now. Keep it going. Great times ahead
                        So having mentioned about the progression of life, I’m all ready to get kicking and have a enterprising blogging experience. Must say that I’ll always try to be informative and will be versatile in my articles. So keep . Some good articles shall drop by here and there. Happy reading! and your suggestions are ever welcome. Keep them coming.
cheers!
