Getting into CUDA as an ECE student

A friend of mine suggested getting into CUDA, I have a laptop with rtx 4050 so it's not an issue on the hardware part. I know basic C programming (from our college course and would require a bit of revision)

I'd just wanna know where do I start, how do I do it, what can I expect out of it and what all possibilities and opportunities will it open for me in future. What sources are there to start out from and any theory part that I must know to make the transition into CUDA easier?

Is Pachmarhi worth it for solo travel?

All my friends bailed out for the trip and I really wanna do this trip, is it a good place for solo travelling? And what places around bhopal and Pachmarhi can one travel to?

I'm 20M, living in chhattisgarh, and probably 4 days trip, budget around 5k (would be staying in hostel dorms if possible)

To my Fellow ECE and EE Fellows.

Hey there my fellow crushers in the stream that i'm pursuing.

I don't have much questions regarding the technicalities of the workings of ECE since i am aware it is a VERY important stream/Field in future and even now.

My question is/are..

how does the learning curve look like?

How does the growth look like in a Core Private ECE Job?

Do you REALLY NEED Interest and Passion to make it big in this field?

and how heavy does Math get in and after the Graduation level i.e. the Professional life?

What Habits have made you come where you are right now, be it a good habit or a bad one?

I have seen Numerous Examples of successful and unsuccessful people in Software side of the industry, but have seen VERY LESS examples of the Hardware/ ECE side.

info about me- I am interested in studying engineering and my main goal isn't ONLY the Salary and that, but to learn and actually become the best in the field.

I am VERY lazy by the time that i speak and would NEED to change for the sake of the engineer that i aspire to become. I haven't really been able to do maths that well and have failed miserably in fulfilling my expectations in the 1st year of going beyond 8.5 (current CGPA 7.2).

I Believe that i WILL make it through but i have less to no hopes right now regarding how it would end.

thanks for reading, pls help your lil bro out 😭

Also, Would i need to pursue Master's in this field? I have heard that it is almost a necessity at this point.

if i do need to get masters, means i would need to leverage on my academics more than the skill building (given India conducts GATE and GRE which would lowkey have me come down to last strands of hair on my head)

how does one focus on both skills and hardcore academics? or how did you make a choice

Hellooo, me and my friend are planning our FIRST TREK for the above-mentioned place.

We both ain't got ANY experience and we're doing in June first-mid week.

We'll be starting to work on our mobility, Exercise and stuff after exams are done (mid May Tak we'll be done)

Would want to know,

How is "Trek The Himalayas" for this trek? (we have planned to book them since we saw about their Good reviews and kind of fits in our budget)

We're both around 25 in BMI, and are rarely active (5'8, 78-80kgs)

so what shall our workout split be for the next 15-20 days?

Since we're on a budget, I saw the decathlon ke 4-5k wale waterproof shoes, are they good?

Our total is coming around 25k smth (5k(train two ways) + 11k(agency + excluded travels) + 4-6k(shoes+ other stuff) + 2-3k (stay at Delhi + bus) + 2k for miscellaneous)

Are we overspending, where can we save more or expect to spend more?

we're planning

4 June yaha se nikalna-> 5 ki raat direct Rishikesh,

6 - 10 june ka trek (mentioned on website)

then come to Delhi via bus(maybe overnight)

and stay at any hostel,

explore Delhi on 11,

and leave on 12 ki dopahar.

Do y'all say this is alright? We are in chhatisgarh.

PS- our train tickets are booked, it's in WL, but I hope it gets confirmed. We're both really excited and hope this turns out to be a beginning of an expensive yet fun hobby.

Also what can we expect from this trek? Like kya chizein aur hum kr sakte hai etc?

Any advices, suggestion are appreciated 🥹

Thanku

Hey there everyone, I'm 19M.

(THIS IS A LONG READ)

Firstly- I am not mentally ill, I'm all fine in those terms, I do socialise with people and all the things. I have both male and female friends and I am not really sad with my life (kinda skeptical about what I would do in future but that a different story)

Now to the main point, I like this girl, heck idk I might even love her. We weren't dating, we never did. We met on an online app, and our complete interaction was unfortunately limited to online meanss only, we never got to meet in person since her city was kind of far from mine.

I am really oldschool when it comes to relationships, I have never had a girlfriend ever in my life. I understand that breakups and all those things are a part of life. And I do feel that I'm not that immature in all those things as well.

I am NOT stuck up on her, but also AM stuck up on her.

Met her in April 2025, was new to situationships, I myself skipped the friendship part (a mistake I know) and confessed that I like her in about a month or smth. We had late night chats, voice notes and all those. I did small things for her too (she was the first woman, other than my mother who somehow made me draw her, sing for her, etc).

I experienced a lot of things for the first time with her, she never mentioned how many relationships she has been in, but I'm certain she must've had. She has an avoidant attachment style (if that helps) she didn't tell me a lot of things about her.

We had our fair share of fights, and I was blocked on 3 different accounts as well (I made new ones again lol). But somehow, I kept it going, we kept it going. I always tried to get to know her better, make her feel heard and special (yes, I misunderstood her at times too but I always tried).

She never gave her insta id from the front, I did get it somehow, we somehow also exchanged phone numbers, talked late at night for the first time 🥹. She had made it clear that she doesn't want to take this furthur, but I kept trying. I kept trying again, and again, and again, and again. Kept affirming that we'll make it work somehow, that this distance wouldn't affect much, but she didn't budge.

We stopped talking on 1st Jan 2026. A month after, I kept texting the blocked chat since that was my only way to vent things out, my friends were aware of her existence in my life, but I chose not to vent on them since again- somethings are better kept private.

Before valentine's, she unblocked me, unknown to me I kept texting on random days. I saw she unblocked me. We had a chat again, I tried again. Failed.

Month later, her birthday arrived, I thought I would get her something special or something related-- but I stopped myself, I thought it might be an overkill for something that was ending afterall, I just wished her on time, she said she didn't expect me wishing (we didn't talk after that valentine's interaction) I said yeah,

I told her those 3 words again (I had this notion that I would say those words to my wife or someone precious to me other than family, so I did, I had said it before as well, but I did it again) and asked her to block me for good. She was skeptical, I didn't wanna be blocked either, but she did in the end after multiple requests. (I ruined her b'day)

But guess what? I still messaged her after 2-3 weeks. I mentioned i missed her, she did too. But again. There was no going forward from this. For a long time, I have been noticing she has been trying to NOT show her feelings. Which is wrong, but she has been strong all along.

So to say it in rough estimation

she managed to move on (from what I think).

I still haven't, I'm certain she knows I haven't. And I know I won't. Anytime soon.

She never accepted that insta request since she knew I would get more attached (not that I haven't)

I'm well aware of all the things, I have tried to talk to new people, to try to get over it. But it ends up in making me believe that I'm using them, which I never wanna do to anyone.

Somehow the song selection of mine has gone beyond EPIC, the type of songs in listening to reflect the EXACT situation i am in (Die trying- drake, sitting waiting wishing- Johnson, cheating on you- Charlie, etc)

Everytime I see a couple, I think of her.

Everytime I listen to a romantic song, I think of her.

Everytime someone mocks me, it reminds me of her.

I don't know what this is, how do I get over this, I HAVE NO IDEA.

My friends have been calling me dumb, saying that I should move on and what not (only if it were that easy)

I do accept that it's a mistake to have things which remind me of her, but I don't wanna lose any of those voice notes, those photos of her.

What do I even do, it's.. ughhh.

Tldr; Had a online situationship, I got attached, she left, went on and off, still do, she doesn't talk anymore, I'm hooked, I can't move on, help
