Things have not been good at home. Not just for me and studies but w.r.t everyone else.
Only 1& 4 done
I saw people venting out their thoughts, fears, pain, happiness on this platform. Gathered enough courage today to write something I often feel. I called it courage because I'm a person who don't express anything to anyone.
It's been 2 years .....I came back home from Delhi due to lockdown. I was comfortable with studying in the library. 2 months after coming back, I lost my both grandparents. In the next one month, I had prelims.....my mother tested Covid positive 3 days before prelims......I hardly read anything for 3 months before prelims. I failed miserably in prelims. Moreover I was mentally n physically exhausted. It took almost 6 months for our family to recover n get back to normal.
What I didn't notice is I was not normal. As I started to study after many months, I couldn't concentrate. There were days where I struggled to read even a single page. But when someone disturbs me I became furious. I used to cry badly.
Every day in the morning I have to help my mother in packing lunch for my parents n sibling. When I sit back to study there comes a knock everyday....milk man.......then another knock between 11-1pm comes maid whenever she wanted to. I also involve in household work in the evening, as my parents would get tired after coming from work. So I tried to study at night but it badly affected my health. Adding to this people come home frequently. They don't leave without asking me. Some even said that I was giving lame excuses. Some said that sending children to Civils coaching has become a social status... literally on my face.
In the beginning I thought it was ok, I can adjust to this routine. But over 2 years just sitting at home with no other activity, negativity started creeping in....... cognitive distortions.......crying for everything.......unable to concentrate......always feel low on energy....feel worthless .....are these really excuses?.....Can change in environment help me come out of this brain fog?
Please do change places.It certainly helps. In my case, once laziness got associated with my living room at home,I really was engulfed by it. Ever since I have shifted back to Delhi again and joined a library, things have considerably improved. Also,try taking that first step.Half of the decisional inertia is gone with that first step.
Take care!Best-est of luck!
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!

Finally done with various commitments, and other tasks. The break after prelims has been a bit too long, but now I am ready to go full throttle. Will post targets here until I build the momentum.

2 . Optional- write pyqs from 2013-15 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
3. Newspaper
Good day!
1,2 done. 3 not done (which comes as a surprise because newspaper was the only thing I was doing regularly all these days.)
For today, 20.07.22-
1. Eco- Mrunal Pillar 1- 60 pages
2. Optional- pyqs 2016-19
3. Newspaper- of yesterday and today
Good day!
@Neyawn prelims has to be prepared from January, leaving everything aside
But is it not a good idea to write SFGs on weekdays and mains test on weekends as many things are overlapping in GS?
And consider if one is scoring good in sfg tests cant he/she ‘balance’ mains with prelims in jan and half feb atleast?
mightyraju,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!

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.

Indeed life is tough.
But aren't we all learning and re-learning in this process?
If it wasn't tough it would have been so boring isn't it?
Nothing is a defeat unless you let your mind take it as a defeat and mentally accept it as a defeat.
For me, forum is family.. That's why I am still lingering around here..
I hope you also find your reason to loiter around once in a while :)
It is always amazing to see familiar faces (read usernames) here ..
Much love
