At some point we should have a thread where everyone explains their usernames :P I have high hopes that some hilarious things will turn up (although nothing beats The Patoots)

I'm also planning to run a course too on the theme-How to ruin your reputation in 10 mins: A Primer.  :3

I love how we are all anonymous and yet, we have reputations to protect. :D

PS: Mate, the apology was classy but the self deprecating humour is the cherry on top. :)

@SergioRamos - As someone who's followed your posts since ages, I think one of the reasons (among many) that you stand apart is your humility. You've gone on to showcase that today. It takes immense courage and grit to admit a mistake, let alone apologise, in a public forum. Go get 'em, lad!

Also, to complement the Lays and Coke, your team's up for the La Liga decider tonight at 9:30 PM. You better hope Atletico bottles up. :P

@SergioRamos come to think of it, I've never seen anyone apologise sincerely on the internet. Especially when anonymous. You've actually kind of redeemed online arguments in my opinion. Thank you for showing so much character :)

Oh man :( I was so sure Ghalib had written something about sleep and you were just translating :p

Impressive. Also, the fact that they are leading the world in agri-tech too, despite more than half of the country being practically a desert.

Dude, you talking about food all the time doesn't help, especially when I have to contend with dal-roti :P But, its a mood, big time XD

Nothing beats the Patoots, amirite! :D

Alright, I’ll play. “Cutie Patootie” was one of the first things my love called me on the day we met. Joining forum was something I did when I was really depressed last year, much before prelims. I found the will to prepare again because of her, and naturally, my forum username was also inspired by her. 

So, the username comes from a place of love. If you read my username without context, it just sounds like the opposite: a really dark place. :P

PS: I understand a lot of folks here think I’m a girl. In fact, I’m just an adorable boy. :P

Looking at some of the things that Israel is doing the only broad question that comes to my mind is 

Have we taken our existence for granted?

Israelis are literally fighting for their existence on every aspect.

Speaking of such cultures, there is another trend:Study Blogging. 

Some aspirants have started their pages where they would post snapshots of their notes, their rooms full of books, and their cute tables, filled with sticky notes and a cup of hot coffee sitting right there. And then many of these future officers would like to be addressed as "Ma'am", and "Sir".

Right from day 1.

@Villanelle Between that, irrigation and the Iron Dome (soon to be upgraded with lasers?!), necessity (and American funding) does breed invention :O

Oh man. I thought this was limited to “Can I see a picture of your study room for CSE?” questions on Quora. There are complete blogs dedicated to this?

 My study room looks like a murder just happened there.

Who would have thought I will be a recipient of so much love and affection on an anonymous forum, literally from everyone.

Not tagging and thanking each one as it would bring back memories of my old nibba days where I used to comment thanks for the like dear type of thing. :3

In all earnestness, I would like to say I love you all. Thank you for showing so much faith and love. I feel overwhelmed. :')

This is such an insightful and informative piece. Thank you! 

This also shows that if resources, no matter how much in abundance/rarity, are put to their best use, any country can create wonders. So much to learn from them!
