This is an everything thread for all stuff 2022. You can post your daily goals, end-of-the-day updates, weekly targets or any weird thing you use to measure your progress. You can put into words & post the soul-sucking sadness that is threatening to devour you & your productivity. You can write what made your day & let others experience the happiness too, at least vicariously. This is a thread to pick each other up. This is a thread to keep each other accountable. This is a no-judgement zone.

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”
— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
@nerdfighter and@Patootie bhai for you both-
हक़ीक़तें हैं सलामत तो ख़्वाब बहुतेरे
उदास क्यूँ हो जो कुछ ख़्वाब राएगाँ निकले
@Patootie so, so, so, so happy to see you back friend. Sending you all the best wishes I have plus some borrowed from here and there for 2022 :)
Thank you@nerdfighter for this thing. We know we all are in this together.
I am filled with guilt, regret as well as the odd feeling of enthusiasm. I don't want to fall in the trap of self doubts. I know once I am in that it will be very difficult for me to come out of it. I want to move forward and look at the things which are in my control. I know where I lack and which things I should focus from now on. One clarity has been achieved, that is to have a backup.
Hard work pays off one day or other. Maybe luck did not favour us this time, but it is not like it won't favour us anytime. Let me do what I have in my control.
Tomorrow's target : For UPPSC
1. History PYQ - Last chapters - 1/3
2. Science and tech - Bio + physical portion - 1/3
3. Env - Pollution.
4. Random GK - from youtube, someone suggested that.
I am not sure if I will clear this, considering the time that is left, but if not this time, next time it will help.
P.S Sorry if you all find its too early to post this :)
Refer the UPPSC thread. I would go for study for civil services as many people suggest this.
@Patootie "At this point, for me, it is not even about the job for me. I want to clear the exam. It is as simple as that. It is an intensely personal struggle and it has been for at least the past 2 years. Good thing is, I finally feel that I can truly give my best again towards that goal."I relate to that so much. Was expecting interview call at least, ended up getting the least marks so far. Confidence totally shattered. Started looking at other jobs and other exams. But eventually I realized if I run away now, I will regret it for the rest of my life. It may not be rational, and I don't know if it is right sort of motivation for becoming a good officer, but now I want to do it because I feel that I can't. When Livepool beat Barcelona 4-0 (after being defeated by 3-0 at Barcelona), Jurgen Klopp told the players before the match to either "win or fail in the most beautiful way". Now, I want to either clear the exam or at least come close. Won't run away before that.
"Won't run away before that" , "I run away now, I will regret it for the rest of my life"
Exactly my state :)

As much as I despise Liverpool, I hope I can turn my life around like Liverpool did on that magical Anfield night. Let's keep hustling, because it's the only option we have!
Hello everyone,
I have been waiting for this thread thank you@nerdfighter . I am one of those silent observers who reads most of the comments get inspired and relates to what others are going through. I had my failures in 2018, 2019 and 2020 prelims itself--decided to change optional midway from psir to mathematics for 2020---strange? Yeah I know.
Failed 2020 prelims by 1.33 marks--dejected I decided to get a job. Applied for anything and everything got close in every exam and failing within the margin of 10 marks. But Out of the list means out of the list no ifs and buts.
Still waiting for 3 more results. Though I have not given 2021 prelims but have decided to give one more shot in 2022 with all I have left inside me and ofcourse getting inspiration from you people.
Currently I am preparing for UPPCS on 24th. Let's see how things roll out.
P.S. I will try not to go silent again and to those silent readers sorry for opting out this might help me😜
This forum community is such a wonderful blessing. I'm preparing from home. Gave 2021 attempt, could not revise much. Was ill-planned. And sometimes felt lost out, somehow came across this platform and have learned so much from the people here, their journey and the courage they've shown year after year.
Before writing the prelims 2021paper, somehow my mind started singing a prayer I used to sing in the morning assembly of my school. That is
" We shall overcome, we shall overcome someday. Deep in my heart, I do believe that we shall overcome someday. "
