Hi, I'm Suman Nath, and this is my personal blog. For the past year, I’ve been contemplating starting a blog. I’m not entirely sure what held me back—maybe it was a lack of time, or perhaps "blog" was just a buzzword I kept hearing without truly understanding it.
Today, at 2:15 PM on 20th March 2014, I’m sitting in the University Library, finally writing about my life.
I’m the kind of person with varied interests and preferences. I often find myself thinking deeply—about my own life, the people around me, and what’s happening in the world. While this habit hasn’t always been helpful, and isn’t particularly appreciated these days, I still find joy in helping others whenever I can. I’m not claiming to be a consultant or expert, but I like offering advice if I know something to be right. I also consider myself friendly, as I don’t have many enemies, and most people I meet treat me well.
A brief overview of my life so far:
- I was born in my hometown, Jorhat.
- I started pre-nursery in Jorhat itself (Assamese medium).
- After my father got promoted, we moved to Guwahati, where I began my nursery education at Rhino Nursery, which was conveniently located right behind our house (or “quarter,” as we called it).
- I studied in Army School, Narangi (Class 1 & 2).
- My father was then posted to Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh), and I continued my education there.
- From Class 3 to Class 6, I studied at Army School Jhansi.
- As my father neared retirement from the Indian Army, he received a final 'home posting', and we returned to Jorhat.
- From Class 7 to Class 11, I studied at Army School Jorhat.
This phase was pivotal in my life. In Class 11, my school administration decided to drop me, assuming I wouldn’t perform well in the Class 12 Board Exams based on my unit test and half-yearly scores. I wasn’t disheartened, as I recognized the mistakes I’d made and saw this as an opportunity to improve.
- I enrolled at Mentors House Junior College in Jorhat, and things turned out well.
- After Class 12, I appeared for JEE (Mains) and CEE exams.
- I secured a rank of 1260 in CEE and 4320 (National-OBC) in JEE Paper-II (Architecture). Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned:
- Though I qualified for CEE, I was rejected because my overall PCM percentage wasn’t 50%.
- In JEE, I didn’t secure a seat in the first three rounds, so I chose not to wait for the fourth round.
- Eventually, I got admitted to Lovely Professional University in Punjab.
Currently, I’m in the second semester of my four-year B.Tech course in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE).
