Summer Camp 2019 - Day 2 - Summary


I woke up at 6:00am that day. Next I woke up my roommates. After bathing in our personal bathroom, we went to have milk. They either gave us Badam milk or Bournvita. They also gave us plain milk if we asked the sevikas. After soothing our throats with the warm milk, we assembled at the main temple for the Vedic chanting session, conducted by Swamiji.

We started the Medha Sooktham, an invocation dedicated to goddess Saraswathi. We had finished chanting the first stanza that day. It was followed by the yoga session which was conducted by Shruthi Aunty. She talked about Surya namaskar and its benefits. She also made us do Shravasan. It was followed by breakfast. They served us Idly and chutney.

We chanted Bhramarpanam Bhramahavihi before all meals. At lunch and dinner, we chanted the chapter 15 of Bhagawad Gita as well. After breakfast, I went to my room and played makeshift cricket with my roommates for the next one hour until the talks session started. But the talk was one of Swamiji’s instead of Sevikas and the talk was on Guru parampara. The workshop started after Swamiji’s talk and we had casual conversations during that time.

Thanks to KSRCT for the amazing 3D printing course

 On March 21, I returned home after finishing my 10th class board exams. I was ecstatic and anticipated having a wonderful holiday season. My mom had taken me to visit KSR College of Technology along with my brother, Yoogesh. I was excited about it and felt extremely delighted about it. I was taken to the Idea Lab and given a tour by the principal, Gopalakrishnan Sir, and Bharani Mam. It offered excellent amenities, such as a computer lab, a laser printing lab, a UV resin printing lab, a metal cutting lab, a wood printer, and a 3D printing facility. Visiting Idea Lab with Principal Dr.Gopalakrishnan When I first entered the lab, I was amazed. In particular, 3D printing piqued my interest. Gopalakrishnan Sir allowed me to visit the lab every day after noticing my curiosity. This had me incredibly pumped up. I started going to college every day. I would travel on the college bus. I learned a lot in only a few short weeks thanks to the lab supervisors, Srinithi mam and Kathiresan Sir. In

Blessings from Mom & Dad to Sharvesh on 12th Birthday!

Dear Sharvesh, Twelve years before,  You came as a twilight on a Friday evening, To delight the whole family. You are a precious gift from the Lord of All, Hence named you by His Holiness. Your first cry and first smile are evergreen to us, Your first crawl and first step moved our hearts, Your first words were divine discourse, Your first dance on stage was sensational , Your first brown belt for Karate was a sign of bravery, Many more such firsts may come & go in your life, But you being our first Son would remain forever! Your Kinder Garden Graduation day was a Pride Moment, Than our Engineering Graduation day. Your loveable Mom, Dad & Yoogesh, will be your side, In every step you march towards Success. The road ahead is not made of rose buds; You might find obstacles on the way; But they are to strengthen you further, So face them with valour. The tear droplets from your eyes; Would pierce through our Soul, Let them not rol

A Sneak Peak into SSVM Hostel Life

Image
 A good day at SSVM, Enjoying boarding. Arrived on 18th September, Gave PCR test, For the COVID-19 check-up, Till the result came, Had a nice break, With zero classes, Until Tuesday when the results arrived. A good day at SSVM, Enjoying boarding. School had begun on 23rd, With two periods daily, Three hours continuously, Snacks came timely, Before the hour to play, Tennis courts were shut, Which prevented me from playing. A good day at SSVM, Enjoying boarding. Cumulative exams from 27th,  5 days after we came, Stretches till 1st of October, So I learnt, and learnt and learnt, Each day 5 hours of revision, 1 and half hours of examination, 7 subjects went like a breeze,  And I took a break. 3 days of torrential rain,  Water all over, Almost up to my ankle on the roads, I ran and bought cake, They gave me two, For there were very few, And given in haste. A good day at SSVM, Enjoying boarding. I am enjoying myself here, But yearn for the comforts of home.
