SRM space probe

Long time.....

I am very excited about this.... sending a balloon to near space with all stuff like sensors, GPS, radio tracking, camera, big antenna and doing research. The big thing is its our own space program. Till now we have only heard about govt space agencies sending rockets... now people are also doing it and I am proud to say that I am a part of 15 member group and we will be releasing a high altitude balloon in two months from now.

I take care of the basic electronics part and I give ideas.

I will constantly update about this here with a picture or two occasionally....

My first outing..... alone

Hello!

Long time since I have posted.

Meanwhile I attended a workshop on personality development. It was very good, filled with many tips and much fun...

Also in these two weeks, I rekindled my interest in electronics, both as my course and my hobby. Because when you have just one thing to engage you day and night, it means you will simply rock in wharever you do. I requested my mom to parcel my lab equipment from home to hostel and I also made a daring move to step out of the university campus alone and travel to Chennai alone to buy few components like LED's, resistors, two chips, etc. I did not have any personal view about this and it was just a week of mental preparation and through research in locations and maps which gave me enough confidence to step out. Even my mom said no to this, since I am still a fresher. It was a long train jouney to a place called Ritchie Street in central Chennai and I was always keen to explore that part of city. Its really a big city. Luckily I found the shop after thirty minutes of nearly hopeless search through the congested streets. I quickly bought the things, got back on the train and reached back the campus at six.

It was an adventure and I think I will be doing many like this regularly since I need to buy electronics stuff too often being a hobbyist....

I belong to and my dreams

Long time

I guess two weeks is not so long time for few of you but it is very long
time for me because lot of things can be done.

Before this I used to stay in Hyderabad, did my studies awesomely till 12
grade, now for engineering I have joined SRM near chennai. I stay in hostel
here and I blog from here. As an engineering student, I have my own dreams
which I am going to share with you now:

Making my own electric guitar and performing a concert with it

Sending a balloon to upper atmosphere with instruments to probe with
sensors and relay back the data through radio

Making my very own timer bomb which displays countdown and blasts

Making a quadrotor with camera which can send me live feed within a range
of few kilometers

These are just few of my goals I wish to do them in my four years of study
here. I belong to Electronics branch and I am passionate about it. Thats
why each and everything said above is something related to electronics.

It is always good to be passionate about something always because even in
times of difficulty, it makes your life meaningful and fills it with hope
and color.
