22, 23, 24, and 25 July were 0 days and went to TRASH.

Few learnings/rants/observations from last 25 days-

- The first thought which comes to a Delhite's mind (especially the auto walas/coolie) isn't "Should I scam this guy?",  but it is "How much should I scam this guy?" and the answer is "as much as possible"

- I've learnt how to stare at your ceiling fan for 12 hours and sleep for the same amount. Perfectly balanced as all things should be.

- We uselessly put a lot of detergent just bcos we can, but we don't need to. Have some pity on your beautiful clothes.

- People who do not wear white sneakers at least once a week come under the inspection of Intelligence agencies.

- Monologues are always better than dialogues, so I avoid making friends. 

- If it wasn't for Lutyens Delhi and the metro, Delhi doesn't deserve to be the capital of India. But sigh, TINA.

- The Internet is the most wonderful human invention only after the photocopy machines, so Thou shall collect as much material as possible. 

- Delhi is in a perpetual state of flood. Flood of (useless) summaries, compilations, notes, answer writing book by yet another topper who spends her 'precious' time marketing it and wooing aspirants. I have easily avoided all of them though because I simply do not touch any books.

- Rewatched 'Andhadhun'. Watched 'RK/RKAY'. Both are very well written, someday I hope to write something 1% as good as these.

- Black coffee is an acquired taste.

- I can now Iron my Clothes, without iron.

- As a kid, I had the main character vibes but I've realised I'm not the main character, I'm not even the side character, forget this, I was removed from the first batch of auditions, bleh.

- I despise the tag of "UPSC aspirant"(and many(all) other tags and things). I'll get rid of it asap, my eventual fate awaits me.

Decent stuff today. Also realised the pains of revising Environment Portion of Vision CA.

I still need one more day to finish May monthly and I don't have another Monday to offer. Will have to adjust somewhere.


Also,since I missed targets last week because of my over enthusiastic plans, I am trying to complete Topic 9 of GS 3 in next two days(have been stuck here for long)-

@Pepethefrog Yaar that detergent thing. It is so relatable. Yaar for the past few months, I am wearing shirts which have recognisable white detergent spots. Mujhe late hi nahi kapde done sahi se. And mind it, I travel to DU campus(abode of fashion by all means)everyday wearing such stuff.

And iron stuff,I have not been doing that for past many years(except for the years I was at home between 2020-22). Lol 

My bruises are fresh again after reading this.Haha

Shubh Ratri doston!

arey, I washed clothes for the first time this month. It's quite easy, just make sure the amount of detergent is less, like really less and the spots will disappear.

Tbh even though I can remove a lot of wrinkles without iron, I just can't withstand even a single wrinkle (thanks to my mother for always giving me impeccably ironed clothes). So, I'll have to get them ironed from now on.
