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

Good day everyone.
Fine .. after seeing targets being posted for nearly a year or so.. here is mine.
Sole reason to do this, at least for a trial basis, is to see if I am able to be accountable to a community of strangers, striving for something similar. Without further ado:
- Governance portion common to Ethics and GS2
- Indian Express
- Bose Einstein Statistics- Theory
- Answer writing
Emergency Call....Jinhone bhi B.com kiya hai.can they please help ki subject mein kya fill Krna hai.. Actually last time maine kya fill Kiya tha I don't remember..(i guess others kiya tha cz statistics was one of the subject but third year k optional subjects mein nahi tha..!
Please help..!!!
I think the primary purpose of that column is to identify the eligibility for forest exam since only science graduates are eligible for that. Other than that, it won't matter much about what subjects you put in it. Your degree and other details about the course would be asked in DAF1 which would be filled before mains.Emergency Call....Jinhone bhi B.com kiya hai.can they please help ki subject mein kya fill Krna hai..
