Krishna: My day usually starts at 6:30 AM. After getting ready and having breakfast, I reach the campus before 9 AM. We attend both theory and practical classes until around 3 PM. Post classes, I revise lessons, interact with peers, and sometimes attend mentor meetings or practice sessions. Evenings are for relaxation, chatting with friends, or watching something light, and I usually wind down by 10:30 PM.
