IITJEE Sad Stories

Here's a sad story...Dreams are not always fulfilled! 

Since, childhood I wanted to be an engineer. I was fascinated by computers and learnt C programming(Basics) in seventh grade only. I was so interested in robotics, aerospace engineering and artificial intelligence that I was indulged in reading about them whole night. A.P.J Abdul Kalam, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Pranav Mistry, Raj Reddy, Vijay Kumar(Roboticist), etc were my childhood heros. 
So, From 9th standard only, I started preparing for engineering entrances. In 2013 I gave my first attempt to JEE examination and performed poorly. Meanwhile, I passed 12th CBSE scoring 93%. I was an intelligent kid but I was unable to perform under pressure. Then, I decided to take another and final attempt to it. In 2014 April after my JEE paper, I fainted. My mom took me to hospital and Doctors advised an MRI scan. Reports came that I have brain tumor. So, there weren't any faults in my preparation rather My brain was unable to function in pressure because it had already been in tremendous pressure due to a tumor inside my skull. I was not able to give any exam of engineering which means I can never be an engineer now, childhood dream shattered.

 So, after my surgery I joined Fergusson College,Pune to pursue a degree in Basic Sciences. 
I am still into computer programming stuff, learning Python, Django, JavaScript, Algorithms etc by myself. 
Some of my works - 

1.  A software to assign writers to Blind students. (Developed in Python, Tkinter)

2. A Python Script to send an e-mail from terminal itself.

3. A Game written in Python, based on concepts of Game theory.

4. Rubik's Cube stimulation(Python, matplotlib, numpy, Tkinter)

many more to come... 

I was a guy who knew what he wanted to do since childhood but now at the age of 20 he is off-track and searching for his new passion.
I fought with brain-tumor, now I am on a quest to find meaning in life.
In fact, I am yet confused among physics,mathematics and statistics which one to choose for majors.
I don't know where destiny is taking me, Let's Hope for the best... ! 

P.S - I am happy, no sympathy please :)
This is how I am now, after an year; enjoying life at Fergusson College.

Edit 2 - My ex-classmate Ritvik Raj adds his emotions(too much senti yaar) :P - 
You made me cry Vipul. You are true fighter and champion. Very heart touching and inspirational story. This will inspire many people. I feel proud that I have shared same class and some moments with you. Best of luck buddy. See you soon :D
Edit 3 - My senior Anup Shokhwal(Thanks Mr. Dude)
A badass talented boy he is
Edit 4 - My flatmate Shivam Thakur adds to it(that krishna kanahiya thing is a lie, believe me!) -
@Chote_I've always felt proud and inspired from you. Some events happen for good and they make strong people like you even stronger. I believe the Tumor was good in that sense. You've achieved more after the tumor phase was over. Infact, you've made others like me and Vivek(from BA) achieve more after being a part of our ventures. Statistika and Green Steps will never be the same. We've together set up benchmarks for the rest of the years. Including the TIE DAY. And you're doing better than many IITians. Now let me brag a little about you.

@Others_I've seen this guy ever since he has come to Pune. Actually I see him everyday, he's my roommate. :P And trust me it has been great bcz of him. On the very first day as I opened the door for a cute chubby kid with a deep scar in the head, I din't know that the boy has come out of a major brain tumor surgery just a month back. People find it hard to get up after mere fractures and here was a boy with a crack in the head. With in a month or two in Pune, he was playing football in the college (no headers) with teams dying to have him on their side, defeating people with supposedly strong arms in arm wrestling (though I'm leading with 3:1), the kid is amazing. And it's not just the Computer Programs, he's good at a lot of other things. He plays Violin like a pro and even violins with rusted strings sound good with his skill, he's a good wicket keeper, a good TT player and a good writer. Not to forget to mention the Murari Primes he found out in Sept. On a different note, Vipul is in a way the Krishna Kanhaiya of our college, with girls flocking around him. Not just from first year but second and third year too. Trust me I've rarely seen him with less than 4 to 5 girls around. He's always available. For everyone.

Congrats chote. It's been a wonderful experience after coming across you. Miles to go. :)
Edit 5 - Maitreyi Gunye one of the happiest person I have met, says -
Vipul, can't say how proud I am of you. You truly inspire and teach me every day in multiple ways. Keep on being awesome. :)
Edit 6 - Vivek Singh Best leader any team can have. He know how to get best from everyone. We will miss u brother! He says - 
Seeing you work no one could have guessed you ever had brain tumor. I guess the tumor was just your brilliant and sharp brain growing ahead of time. :p Jokes apart, I have never seen anyone learn so fast. From shouting in rallies, witty poster ideas to you talking about your love for mathematics and to you shocking me with your programs. :D
IITs missed the brilliant of yours and we were lucky to have gotten it.. I'm sure you will always use it well. Keep your curiosity alive..:)
