Yeaah, sooo we didn’t qualify in the top 40 of our college’s SIH internal round. I was so disappointed hearing the result, I remember storming off while the speech was still on, like my own personal act of rebellion, and somehow the only thing in my mind was, “Ahh maybe I should have gone to the chapel in the morning.”
I was so furious at our judge; I remember calling him fat and bald, and some other words I don’t wish to say. And then it hit me
“Am I so full of myself that I think the only way I could lose was if something went wrong or I was cheated?”
Truth be told, I think I was always a little like that. During football matches I have blamed the referees, the opposition for having overage players, and sometimes even my own teammates.
How can I be so full of myself that I never take responsibility for my failures?
Dramatic? maybe just a little, but it really did hit harder than I expected it to.
The Sunhack Experience
Even at Sunhacks 2.0 in Nashik I remember being so pissed at our judge, and honestly I feel it was thoda justified. Like every other team got three judging rounds and we got just one. We’d poured everything into that project, I slept a grand total of two hours in two days and the judge was literally on a call while checking our work. I mean, ffs man.
Anyway, we didn’t win but my friends did which was kinda nice(sort of a bittersweet thing). The campus was beautiful though, heard the faculty’s trash so maybe it doesn’t really matter.

The Lesson??
Anyways, I think I can say lesson (hopefully) learned, maybe the world isn’t conspiring against me next time. And maybe, just maybe, I should start taking responsibility for my actions.
