My First Day At Coaching

FIRST DAY AT MY COACHING CENTER: BIT WEIRD;-)

Will be taking you to one awful day of my life, hence read at your own risk;)


At that time , I was in class sixth and very average in studies. It had been been just 1-2 years when the coaching Industries had started establishing in our cities and started gaining attention. Actually I didn't like  joining tuitions from childhood, so my parents thought that may be I should give it a try once as most of the required subjects would be covered under a single roof. So as usual , I sat for the exam. However, I didn't get any scholarship and hence had to pay the full fees there :-(

Finally ,now coming to the pivotal topic of this post. On the first day, when I entered the classroom I found that there were around a total of about thirty students. Some of them I did knew as they were from our school only. While having conversations with them, I came to know that I was the only one among them who didn't get any scholarship. Oh! yeah I forgot to tell you one thing that back in those days I was damn too shy. And hence , when they asked me  about how much scholarship I had got, I just told them that I don't recall properly. 

Now when our first teacher arrived( His name was Kumar Purusottam most probably), his teaching style was purely awesome ,but by the time I had realized this  fact, he had already left our center( may be next year).

The thing is during the first few classes I really couldn't figure out anything that what was going on around me ! Like I recall that on the first day he had given a simple MAT question where the 2nd number was the square of the first in each row. Seconds after writing the question, all the students started shouting the answer. But poor me! didn't even knew about square. I was just thinking that how can a number have a square shape and my shyness added a layer more to my pool of difficulties.
Same thing happened for cube too. xD:-(

However after coming home and asking my papa about about all those terms, I understood, how much fool I was! And this same thing continued for the later classes too. Everyday, I used to come home and get all my doubts cleared from my father only as I was already too shy and I was the only one in my coaching who didn't understand the things well. Moreover the teachers there, where not that much supportive. I mean they used to get irritated if someone asked anything repeatedly( with only 1-2 exceptions like Purusottam Sir, but he had left too early)

Finally I had made up my mind that if this continued till the end of the year , then I wouldn't sit for admission again only. It's not that it was of no use for me , but the thing is I had to make more efforts to understand the same thing and the teachers didn't like being asked repeatedly the same things again and again.
 
So for now keeping it till here; If you found it too boring ,then sorry pal, was just sharing some of my experiences only.

It took me few years to understand until I got to class 11 that you know what ?
class 11th and 12th teachers are far more awesome in teaching you with fun( I mean mostly, dunno about others, but true in my case) and they can tell you one concept a hundred times even in between classes( mostly).

In the end I would like to tell you that , just don't give up ,even if you are slow because,,
 
It's a slow process, but quitting won't speed it up :)

From Message Queues to Distributed Streams: A Comprehensive Introduction to Apache Kafka (Part 3)

In Part 1 and Part 2, we covered the basics of Kafka, its core concepts, and optimization techniques. We learned how to scale Kafka, secure it, govern data formats, monitor its health, and integrate with other systems. Now, in this final installment, we’re going to push deeper into advanced scenarios and look at how you can implement practical, production-ready solutions—especially with Java, the language of Kafka’s native client library. We’ll explore cross-data center replication, multi-cloud strategies, architectural patterns, advanced security, and more. We’ll highlight how to implement Kafka producers, consumers, and streaming logic in Java. By the end, you’ll have a solid understanding of complex Kafka deployments and the technical know-how to bring these ideas to life in code. Advanced Deployment Scenarios: Multi-Data Center and Hybrid Cloud As organizations grow, they may need Kafka clusters spanning multiple data centers or cloud regions. This can ensure higher availabilit...

From Message Queues to Distributed Streams: A Comprehensive Introduction to Apache Kafka (Part 2)

In the first part, we explored Kafka’s core concepts—topics, partitions, offsets—and discovered how it evolved from a LinkedIn project to a globally adored distributed streaming platform. We saw how Kafka transforms the idea of a distributed log into a powerful backbone for modern data infrastructures and event-driven systems. Now, in Part 2, we’ll step deeper into the world of Kafka. We’ll talk about how to optimize your Kafka setup, tune producers and consumers for maximum throughput, refine pub/sub patterns for scale, and use Kafka’s ecosystem tools to build robust pipelines. We’ll also introduce strategies to handle complex operational challenges like cluster sizing, managing topic growth, ensuring data quality, and monitoring system health. Get ready for a hands-on journey filled with insights, best practices, and practical tips. We’ll keep the paragraphs shorter, crisper, and more visually engaging. Let’s dive in! Scaling Kafka: Building a Data Highway Rather Than a Country ...

From Message Queues to Distributed Streams: A Comprehensive Introduction to Apache Kafka (Part 1)

In today’s data-driven world, the ability to effectively process, store, and analyze massive volumes of data in real-time is no longer a luxury reserved for a handful of tech giants; it’s a core requirement for businesses of all sizes and across diverse industries. Whether it’s handling clickstream data from millions of users, ingesting event logs from thousands of servers, or tracking IoT telemetry data from smart sensors deployed worldwide, the modern enterprise faces a formidable challenge: how to build reliable, scalable, and low-latency systems that can continuously move and transform data streams. Standing at the forefront of this revolution is Apache Kafka, an open-source distributed event streaming platform that has fundamentally redefined how organizations think about messaging, event processing, and data integration. Kafka’s rise to popularity is no accident. Originally developed at LinkedIn and later open-sourced in 2011, Kafka was conceived to address some of the toughest...
