📚 My First Step into Java DSA – Arrays

Hey readers, It’s me again — Chandru, and I’m back with another update from my learning journey. Honestly speaking, DSA in Java is way harder than I expected . I knew it wouldn't be easy, but once I actually got into it, I realized how much logic and practice it needs. This week, I focused on learning Arrays — one of the most basic (but super important) data structures. I learned how to insert and delete elements at specific positions , how arrays store data in a continuous block, and how index positions matter a lot in every operation. Even something as small as shifting elements during insertion or deletion can be a challenge at first. It’s a slow journey, but I’m happy that I’ve started. Step by step, I’m getting more comfortable with thinking logically. I’ll be exploring searching, sorting, and 2D arrays in the coming days — so stay tuned, I’ll share more soon! Stay connected, guys... more to come! Bye for now 👋 –    Dru  ✍

☕ Tips for Learning Java as a Beginner (From My Experience)

Hey readers, If you're new here, I'm Chandru — a CSE student currently in my semester break, trying to make the most of this time. One of the best things I’ve picked up during college is Java. It wasn’t love at first sight (trust me 😅), but over time, I’ve learned to enjoy the logic and structure behind it. Java can feel overwhelming at the start — with all its strict rules, classes, and syntax. But if you're just getting into it, here are some tips based on what worked for me: 1. Start with the Basics, Not with Frameworks When I began, I made the mistake of Googling “Java Projects” before even knowing what a class or constructor was. Trust me — take it slow. Start with the core: Variables Data types Conditional statements Loops Methods Classes & Objects These are your building blocks. Once they click, everything else becomes easier. 2. Use Visual Platforms to Practice Reading code isn’t enough — you have to write it. I used platforms li...

5 Things That Keep Me Going on Tough Days

Hey everyone, Welcome back to Chronicles by Chandru! Right now, I’m enjoying my semester holidays — a well-deserved break filled with good food, good vibes, and late-night movie binges. But let’s be honest, not every day feels like a break. Some days are just… tough. And that’s okay. Over time, I’ve found a few simple things that help me push through those heavy days — things that remind me to breathe, reset, and keep going. Here are my top 5: 🎧 1. Music – My Personal Escape Whether it's late-night SPB classics playing in the background or Tamil melodies flowing through my earphones during a quiet evening — music has always been a consistent comfort. It doesn’t solve the problems, but it quiets the chaos in my head. And sometimes, that’s all I really need. A few favorites right now: Sean Roldan hits, Shakthisree Gopalan’s soulful tracks, and of course, timeless SPB magic that never fails to hit the heart. 🎬 2. Movies & Series – A Temporary Portal There’s nothing like diving i...

The Beginning of Chandru's Chronicle

Hey there! Welcome to Chandru’s Chronicle . I’m Dru, and this is the start of something I’ve been excited about for a long time. Writing a blog has always been on my mind, and finally, here I am—ready to share my thoughts, stories, and experiences with all of you. Why Start a Blog? Honestly, I’ve always loved the idea of putting my thoughts out there.
