Hiii people. Good to see you guys putting up daily updates will be joining you guys for sometime now.
As I move towards prelims dominated preparation guided by SFG I am feeling little anxious and nervous because prelims has been my great fear and as@Neyawn says if it has happened it can happen again. So beating my own fears is the objective, which also includes waking up at 6 in winters.

The story of elephant and dog, both got pregnant, by the end of year 1 dog already had more than a dozen puppies while elephant was still pregnant. Dog asks to elephant are you even pregnant? Elephant gracefully answers What I am carrying is not puppy but an elephant.
Moral: Don't lose faith and hope when you see other's prayers getting answered and don't be envious of other's testimony. Be hopeful, focussed and hardworking.

2 weeks of SFG are over. I have done stuff but very hard to say if I am confident with what I have done. Now I can feel what happens when you drop your guards for one year and go back to start again. You expect alot from yourself.

Political fever is on the rise with election season around the corner. Sometimes I get amazed with the level of political awareness people have in general. Opinions I form are usually social media driven or some readings of quality material but people with no access to digital media, amazingly, do know stuff from mere newspaper reading and discussions. Anyway moving to usual chores :D
