Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.
This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021.
No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.

What do you write?
Some personal thoughts which I incur throughout the day, say I read something in news, something I see, something which effect me deeply and I want to convey and express then I write.

@LetsGetThisBread how is your mum now?
Thanks for asking. She’s getting there, but still a little weak. I think the heat is getting to her

Take care of her and of yourself. Sending some cold weather (instead of wishes, as that's what you need right now) from here to you.

Targets were unrealistic for me. Promises were made in josh. Also, some close peeps arrived at home unexpectedly. That took like 4 hours of my time. Tommorow, half a day will be lost due to a personal obligation. Also an opportunity to chill. Will try to finish of remaining stuff in tommorow half a day.

I am feeling various stuff today. Like, I feel grateful that I have so many nice, caring people in my life including some new people I met recently. But also, people who used to be so close act like strangers in matters of month. Got to accept it. Hope to get a good sleep. In the process of transitioning from a nightowl routine to a normal routine.
Hope you all had a great day.
It reminds me of a line from one of my favourite songs “people will find you, but they don’t define you. And you will find people, who help re-design you.” :)
Good morning friends (slightly later than usual, but better late than never) targets for 24.7.21:

AWP
CSAT
Daily C/A

Did all except my PSIR, but that was me stretching anyways, so no biggie. Will be doing that tomorrow. In other news, I made a fruit cake for no reason, other than I just felt like it
Inotherother news (and this might be TMI but I found it funny so sharing, please feel free to shut me down if any of you find it inappropriate) my parents thought it would be cool to casually bring up marriage after dinner, so decided to throw them a curveball and tell them that maybe I should join bumble/hinge or something like that. My parents did a reverse uno on me and told me that there are a lot of f-bois on dating apps, so they would make one a profile to look out for me. I sincerely hope they were joking (they didn’t look like it though). WELP!

How to tell that your life is so constrained and limited without actually saying it? - "I haven't heard about Bumble and Hinge before you just mentioned it now :("

You've got some cool parents.
They’re conveniently cool. XD no, but on a serious note, I feel quite uncool next to them.
