Estancia 3064 | Chennai

This is the view from my college flat where I lived during my B.Tech in CSE at SRM Institute of Science and Technology in Chennai. Estancia, flat 3064 - this place was more than just a room, it was where I grew, learned, and did everything during my college years. What made it even more special? It was right beside the Zoho campus, adding a constant reminder of the tech world we were preparing to enter.

Shashank and I shared this space, and it became our developer's den. See those pathways snaking through the campus? They weren't just routes to class. Those were our late-night stomping grounds. We'd walk those paths during our boys' night out, sharing ghost stories that seemed a lot scarier at 2 AM, gossiping about campus life, and having deep, informative talks about everything from code to life.

Just a stone's throw from our apartment was our lifeline - the coffee house. Whether it was 2 AM or 5 PM, this place was our go-to spot. Coffee, Maggi, fruit juice - you name it, we had it there. It wasn't just a cafe, our meeting spot, our refuelling station.

This view isn't just pretty - it's packed with memories. Late-night debugging, breakthrough moments, stressful deadlines, and countless laughs. It's where we transformed from students into developers, where friendships were forged in the fires of group projects and hackathons.

Every pixel of this image represents a piece of my journey - the place where I honed my skills, formed lasting friendships, and laid the foundation for my future in tech. Being next to Zoho was a constant inspiration, a glimpse into the world we were working towards.

Looking at this now, I'm filled with nostalgia and gratitude for the experiences, the learning, and the memories made in Estancia 3064. This was more than just a flat - it was the launchpad for our careers and the backdrop to some of the best years of our lives.
