Hello all..I know this thread is just for sharing some "educational stuff"...But somehow I felt I really need to share this with you guys..!! ( Some of you may find it relatable)
You know what people.. have told you all back on track ..will be regular ye wo everything..But I am not able to do jitna Krna chahiye mujhe iss time.. My life is a complete mess right now..
I have no control on my emotions..Anger.. happiness..upset.. (everything is just mixed..)
Frustration is at its peak..Have planned a lot but what am I doing?? My day starts at 9 but when I ask myself daily at 11 ki aaj kiya kya tumne to bas newspaper aur thodi bahot aur padhai..
Feels like I am lost somewhere..Fact is " kuch bolne ka bhi mann nahi"..ye likhne se pehle bhi I thought a lot but lga ki aap sab se kaisi sharam..:)
Why have I lost all the positivity??why am I not calm? Why am I not able to focus even if the book is right infront of me..!!
( Well this is one of the reason of not being on YPT cz I am not in my senses I guess)
I just want stability right now but nothing is going good.. bad times or what GOD KNOWS..
BUT I have written what all is going on.. can't say I want help cz it's all in my mind..I guess need to help myself..!!
Itna hi kehna tha bas..:)
- STILL LOST...:)

This discussion compelled me to come back to forum :)
Totally agree with what you have written about Justice Gogoi. The NDTV interview was such an eye opener although it was out there in the open since long time, to see him give voice to it and confirm everything that was said, is shocking. I think it is fitting that privilege motion has been moved against him in the RS.
Nemo judex in causa sua -No one should be a judge in their own case is one of the basic principles. Convened a special bench and headed it himself ?How intimidated the woman must have been in those proceedings ? Why does the procedure allow for this to happen even ? No, we are not going into the merits of the case here. The procedure was definitely problematic. Can nothing be questioned because it might undermine the independence of judiciary ?
Join you all in looking at Justice Chandrachud with hope. Whenever I am bored of studying from the book, I listen to his speeches. They are well articulated and sensitive towards the marginalised sections.
An excerpt from one of his speeches -
"The film(The Great Indian Kitchen) charted out the compounding indignities that the bride faced in unpaid and thankless labour that was exerted in domestic chores and cooking. The denial of her ambitions to work a job of her choice, and finally, the harsh isolation and associated untouchability when menstruating. The movie poignantly engaged with the news of the Supreme Court judgment and juxtaposed it with the livid reality of this woman who was not asserting. She was not asserting the right to go on the pilgrimage but was fighting a much deeper battle as her existence was diminished by her gender. This is a stark reminder for how mere legislative or judicial intervention does not automatically upend the inequities that are entrenched in our society."
I would recommend this Malayalam film if you haven't watched it yet. It was so close to reality that I had tears in my eyes in many instances.
I think I've shared this stuff in the past. I was just going through this book again, and I felt like sharing this, again. xD This discussion compelled me to come back to forum :)

Believe me I am saying this thing with very zimmedari. But if we look into the history, majority part of journalism has been always like that. And the people we see as exceptions are somewhat part of it. The same has been reiterated by Mark Tully, and Josy Joseph in various forms.
I recommend you to read (if you have time) Feast of Vultures and The Silent Coup, both written by Josy Joseph, for starters.

» show previous quotesHaven't followed politics or mainstream journalism for a while, but couldn't stop getting sucked into this discussion.
I remember some person exhorting students to sever India's North East at an anti CAA protest meeting (don't remember his name. Sharjeel Usmani probably). Watch that video. Then, watch Ravish Kumar's NDTV news story on this incident. He smartly crops the video in the beginning, which entirely changes the essense of that statement.
Then there was Modi's reference to 'Abki baar Trump Sarkaar' at an event with Trump. Hindu, IE, NDTV carried opinion pieces on how this statment threatens bipartisan consensus in US on good relations with India. Yet, anyone who listens to Modi's statement, and is aware of Trump's use of that slogan in 2016 would understand that Modi's statement was in past tense. He wasn't endorsing Trump at all.
My point being, Ravish Kumar, NDTV, Newslaundary (AAP's pimps), etc are competent and manipulative crooks, who are adept at hiding their bias. Those at ZeeNews, IndiaTV, Dainik Jagran etc are incompetent crooks. Their bias is as visible as daylight.
With ZeeNews et al you know you are being served bullcrap. With NDTV et al, you get sucked into the bullcrap they are selling, and form opinions you wouldn't have otherwise formed, if you had access to a neutral primary source.

Did not start polity, finished rest of the targets. A good November had followed a very unproductive December, In January I have picked up a little pace but there's a long way to go if I have to be at my best. Hoping this new month helps us all bring out our best, only four months to go now!
Targets:
- SFG: Test + Analysis
- SFG Prep
- Polity Revision (1/2)
- CA - December
- Newspaper
.
.
why do people here have unachievable targets on a daily basis?
they are unable to complete them and feel disappointed at the end of the day.
isnt it wise to have small targets, achieve them first in one part of the day folllowed by doing other parts in the rest of the day. then reviewing it finally. this will hold accountable at all times and not just at the end of the day.
Bad day yesterday, just finished yesterday's targets.
Today's plan:
- Test + Analysis
- Economic Survey (20 pages)
- Newspaper
.
Sectional of which Institute u r taking?
