Today's progress-



Tomorrow's Targets-

It is amusing to learn that some good content is churned beyond popular names in PSIR coaching industry. Rajesh Mishra has been a saviour more than once. Helped with some additions in Chapter 3 of P2A+ also his content is better on Dharmashastras and Buddhist PT.

@Pepethefrog Go Cold Turkey bhai!

Shubh Ratri doston!

The problem isn't the 'phone'. it's something else. Kinda trying to solve it. Hopefully, the gods will come to my rescue.

Thank you though, will limit phone usage too from today.

Mann hi ni kar raha. Itna mann karta hai to come back on Forum but this is not 2020 anymore. My friends@whatonly ,@AzadHindFauz @sjerngal  and many others are already selected and I am still slogging. I come here and I feel defeated. Isiliye, mann ni karta aane ka yahan. 

Uljhanein badhti gayi, mai jhelta raha...

Waqt ne maidan me utara, mai khelta raha...

Log kehne lage tu pagal ho jayega, mai sunta raha...

Logo ki baato ko man me dabaye, apne sapne bunta raha...

Lekin kaise batau mai in logo ko, jab waqt badlega to mai nahi mera vishwas badlega...

Fir ye pagal in logo ko nahi, pura itihaas badlega!!!!


Keep slogging, bro. Your time will come!

Targets for 21/07/22:

  1. Newspaper
  2. Society PDF
  3. Answer writing & brainstorming

Looking at the comments I can feel the pain of friends making it to the holy pdf but our struggle just keeps going on day after day month after month and eventually years go by. Preparing for 2023 looks like a big mountain to climb but we can't give up now we've this far, let's just take it one day at a time.

In the end always remember,  लंबी है ग़म की शाम, मगर शाम ही तो है

.... that once again I will be all alone in the battle that is no one else's to fight but mine alone, the battle of which no one else can be the Nayak but only me. As i pick up my weapons , my swords, my bows and arrows, as i ready my horse to enter the battle field, a heaviness comes over me , a sense of doubt creeps in...is it worth it to continue this battle that yields no result , that has reached a stalemate...will the pyrrhic victory , if it ever comes , be as beautiful and as satisfactory in reality as it is in imagination.

Perhaps Om Puri's rendition of Dilip Chitre's poem in Ardh Satya best describes the feeling - 

चक्रव्यूह में घुसने से पहले
मैं कौन था और कैसा था
ये मुझे याद ही न रहेगा
चक्रव्यूह में घुसने के बाद
मेरे और चक्रव्यूह के बीच
सिर्फ़ एक जान-लेवा निकटता थी
इसका मुझे पता ही न चलेगा

चक्रव्यूह से बाहर निकलने पर
मैं मुक्त हो जाऊँ भले ही
फिर भी
चक्रव्यूह की रचना में फ़र्क़ ही न पड़ेगा

मरूँ या मारूँ
मारा जाऊँ या जान से मार दूँ
इस का फ़ैसला कभी न हो पायेगा

सोया हुआ आदमी जब नींद से उठ कर
चलना शुरू करता है
तब सपनों का संसार उसे दुबारा
दिख ही न पायएगा

उस रोशनी में जो निर्णय की रोशनी है
सब कुछ समान होगा क्या?

एक पलड़े में नपुंसकता
एक पलड़े में पौरुष
और ठीक तराज़ू के काँते पर
अर्ध-सत्य

Model answers should be used as a reference only and not as the ONLY source..

@Neyawn @LetsGetThisBread @sjerngal 

Wrote 1st MGP 2023 TEST..half 10 question one..attempted 6-7 in 1.5 hour...in the paper nothing was coming in my mind..just threw away the paper n went...is it normal?people improve from this point in next year?

Shifted to Delhi on 1st with so many stakes.. exhausted 2 attempts.


Feeling like everything is dark..

Been there done that. But everyone starts slow and small. The first test you write is bound to be bad and an uncomfortable experience because it’s something different to what you’ve done so far. Anything that pushes us out of our comfort zone will make us feel you uncomfortable. But trust me there’s no way you’re going to grow by staying in your comfort zones. Likhte raho, revise karte raho. Don’t compete with others just with yourself. Try and see if you can improve in the next test viz a vid this one that you gave.

Only did Environment Section of Vision+ Some revision of Micronotes of WPT. 


Tomorrow-


@LetsGetThisBread Pursuing Law at Faculty of Law, DU yaar! 

Shubh Ratri doston! 

Oh nice! I know a few of my batchmates who completed law from there. It’s a really good place

Arrey!What are you really pursuing now? I guess you are in the same University then!


Also,wanted to enquire on PSIR stuff- Have you joined some TS yet?Like I want to join, but I won't do SRIAS,for the quality of assessment they do(I did join after my first Prelims and they were horrible). I am contemplating to go for Piyush Sir(even though he is very sust types but can offer better feedback due to lesser rush in his institution).Btaio on this if possible!

I meant my batchmates from grad days 😅

I haven’t joined a TS this year because I know evaluation is bad. I’ll probably join SR again next year because of TINA factor

I can understand what you're going through but each of us has our own timeline. Your success is just delayed. Also, it's never late to make new friends :)

Imagine coming back to this thread post selection in 2023 and smiling back at this post you've made. Smiling at the fact that you kept going and overcame that phase of so called "Defeat"

So,I didn't move much today. I am not beating myself up for this, for I know I have been decently honest with myself.These are busier days, but I'll make up for these tiring days.


Also, not aiming much beyond what I aimed for today. Although,that too will be tough considering the fact that I have non stop 2-8 college tomorrow too. 


@LetsGetThisBread Accha!I presumed ki bohot saare after their degree be like-"Please ek internship mil jay bas" and do nothing beyond for next 1-2 years. Lol !


Shubh Ratri Doston!

Thankyou for the nice and motivating words junta. I feel happy to see people around me there to look for support. The journey is tough. It is. But maybe at the end of the tunnel, sun shines brighter than ever. :)
