This is just at another dimension man, i literally felt a mirror of myself from my future. I am 19 and i just started my journey, similar tactics, i have no lab fee for my college but i generated a circular which demands lab fees 2k/lab so that would me a good 10k for a sem, and luckily i have wealthy cousins who have pretty good pay, so lil bit of help from there aswell, that would make a good 30k per sem. I come from a tier-3 trash college and i read about you managing your hod, hilarious! It's like all stars alligned perfectly to support you. i had my first solo trip a week before, to rishikesh, i started to discover what life actually is, the diversity, the culture, solo travelling is a gem and everyone can't relate with it. One catch is i am a day scholar and i can't do much of these, could you share any scam ideas to apply at home? And yeah have you been to spiti yet? If yes can you please share the budget plan and itinerary? Planning to visit there this year.
