Day busted. Lol. 

Hardly studied 10-15 pages. Slept at 5:15.Woke up at 11.Intended to study while staying at room. Par aisa hua hai kabhi. Usually, Monday is a CA day for me but pushing it to Tuesday this week around. 

Day 91 tomorrow. Will drop the schedule in the morning. 

Shubh Ratri doston.

@Rashmirathi no no. It is a big thing if I even step out of my house. Saving all these photography aspirations for Bharat Darshan 🤷‍♀️

@TheNotorious found these on a page called amazinglybeautifulphotography on tumblr

@Morticia I personally prefer pictures that are not processed. Ofc we can edit them according to ourselves to let them convey a certain message. But then, finding messages in unprocessed pictures, especially of nature, is an art too. And subtler I think. (You can check out Vikram Grewal's insta, he does it perfectly)

Last week was good although couldn't complete prep for MGP GS3 test 1 ->Mrunal ke short notes banana + Anthro optional ke bhi notes banane me kaafi time lag gaya. Would give test by Tuesday.

This week would be shifting so kuch time usme nikal jayega ->Weekly plan is on the more optimistic side.

@huck Likewise buddy. A bit of basic adjustments is fine but overtly processed pics feel as a big deceit, idk why.

Good morning foks, back here hopefully for good. Now that most of the other commitments are done and dusted. Targets for the day are:

May C/A backlog- 20-25

PSIR- world order, terrorism

Dipin Sir

Digi notes- environment (1/10)

Daily C/A

Editorial 

Will have to step out for a bit and meet couple of friends, but hoping to keep it a brief interaction. Will push myself to complete the targets as much as possible. Let’s get this bread!

Did a little bit of everything without really finishing anything. My “stepping out for a bit” turned into a 10 hour thing. I’ve literally just woken up and have realised that I need to have more self control if I need to get back on track seriously. Will do everything possible to complete the targets today

Terrorism aur dipin sir ka class chhodke managed to do all. Despite not being able to complete all my targets yesterday still felt like a good day because it was a positive progress towards goal completion unlike what the past few days have felt. I felt like the “old bread” back for a moment and not like “stale bread”.

I am in a state where outcomes aren't commensurate with inputs put. The number of hours put to what I cover is dismal. Add to it, the confused me vis a vis Climatology part.

@D503 Do from Onlyias ka Prahar. Chotta hai,will be easy to complete in less than a week.

Hi Professor@LetsGetThisBread Sankaran. Did you eat free ke samosas from chai wale bhaiya?It is a daily ritual of ever hungry and perpetually kanjoos professors.

Shubh Ratri mitron!

..Ghostwalker is currently going through emotional crisis.. 

Jabse preparation start kia tabse khud ko socially disconnects kar dia. Yha tak ki sim hi change kar dia, abtak social media pe login bhi nahi kia. Nye Dost banaye preparation me 

Lekin dost ka clear nahi hua aur unhone preparation leave krke aage nikal gaye.. Maine khud ko samjhaye rakha.

Sigma male ki video dekh dekh ke stay strong aur stay alone krte rha.. Phir achanak mahsoos hota hai, aap kamjor ho rahe hai Aap akela ho rahe hai.. 

Aap bahut kuch bolna, kahna aur sunna chahte hai but koi sunne wala hi nahi hai..

Tabhi achanak koi Full moon ki tarah aata hai. Aur charo taraf roshni kar deta hai. Aur jabtak aap sochte hai ki kya ye sach hai. Tabtak Phir Amavsya ki kali rate Aa jati hai Aur shayad vo bhi chla jata hai.. 

AUR Phir se vahi routine wahi kam aur wahi schedule wahi drama aap apne charo taraf pate hai.. 

Kabtak keyboard par emotions nikalte RHOGE samajh hi ni aata.. 

Agar koi advice ho to do dosto.. 

Mai is situation se niklana chahta hu.. 

Phir se Sigma male bnna chahta hu.. 

@unacheivednirvana @LetsGetThisBread 

@D503 @Morticia @ koi bhi jo bhi padh raha hai.. 

Abhi mujhe itne hi tag yad Aa rhe hai.. 

10:40 pm 

Monday 

(109) 12/9/22

तमाम कामकाज के
बीच मैं तो भूल ही गया था
कि मरना भी है..
लापरवाही
में उस कर्त्तव्य से कतराता रहा
या निबाहा भी
तो जैसे तैसे।
अब कल से
रवैया बिल्कुल फ़र्क़ होगा;
बहुत ही सँभल सँभल कर मरना शुरू करूँगा
बुद्धिमत्ता से खुशी खुशी
बिना समय बरबाद किए।

@Ghostwalker I've lost many friends during the course of preparation and because of not staying in touch, rather not having a phone and I know how lonely it gets. I guess most of us are lonely in this preparation and that's why we have this thread. To relate to each other and help each other out.

"Sigma" male ka toh nahi pata, male friends log ispe prakaash daalenge XD

But yes you have to accept the emotions, the turmoil and the loneliness this journey brings. Talk to someone, let it all out and then work towards your goal again. I know it is easier said than done but we all at least have one friend who is close to us. Rant to them, eat their head. I'm sure if they are close, they won't mind.

Trust me, if you let it out, half of your crisis is solved.

Friends nahi hain toh find someone on the thread. PM them. If they're willing to hear you out talk to them.

As alluring as solitude might sound or look to be, we as humans are social creatures and have a natural inclination towards socialising. So selective socialising karo. If you're in Delhi, try and meet people from this thread/community who are looking for that camaraderie. Maybe you end up finding gems. People who've been here have an amazing bond.@Rashmirathi @LetsGetThisBread  would agree. You can surely find your own lot too!

Padhai pe gyaan nahi dungi because mujhse way worthy log hain yaha who can guide you regarding prep but I'll quote H.W. Longfellow in an attempt to boost your spirits: 

"We have not wings, we cannot soar; 
      But we have feet to scale and climb 
By slow degrees, by more and more, 
      The cloudy summits of our time."

“Normal is an illusion. What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.”

Showing signs of recovery now, biggest being Ive again started daydreaming again and I am loving it. From going to Venice after selection with family to holidaying at taj lake palace with my crush to giving toppers talk at vision ias, my life and dreams are getting back on track! God being kinder on me :)

Went out for a walk just now however I was so weak that I could barely walk for 10 minutes, but considering my condition few days ago thats a good number too!

@Ghostwalker I puke my emotions on this thread, talk to my closest friends and it works.
