I realised I'm losing friends, met a college friend last week and I was told that I've changed and vibes don't match as I'm relatively calm and quiet and think and speak. 
I did my graduation in pune, and my friends group had different goals. So, I cameback to my hometown to prepare for my exam as I was not getting any inspiration there, some of my school friends are preparing for CSE and some of them gave mains twice. So, I started to hang out with them and started preparing. 
I felt a little bad that I was told that I've changed and didn't really enjoy meeting my college friend (all they would talk about is trips and parties) but then I am the kind of person who'd always prefer a camping trip than go to a party. 
I don't know, because when I was with them I used to feel that I'm not this person and what I'm now is something I feel like being myself. 
I don't know what has drifted apart, but only some people get what I have been upto and why I can not pick their calls. Also, lost two of my really close friends from office which I came to know that one of them is married and didn't even bother to tell me. 
All this feels bad sometimes, but I don't know. 
anyways, sorry for the long rant. 

Number of 'I's in this comment makes it very relatable to me! How small the life has become, surrounded by I, me & myself. Last week I was lonely AF, because I wasn't with myself.  Nowadays I am in pretty nice company as I've started respecting & talking to myself. There will be days you will seek people & you will feel lonely in an ocean of people & there will also be days when you don't want to talk to anyone except your own self.  

Accept the uncertainty & move on. I'm trying & seems it's working!

Look at the 'I's again! Haha

Public hangings were a family event in England in the mid centuries, with tickets being sold by hotel owners to provide the best view from their respective room windows or balconies. People would enjoy the hangings with ale and snacks and return to business post the deed was done.

So what did the viewers wake up with the next day? [best/correct answer wins a trip to swarg*]

They woke up w Shinigami ? 

Nahi yaar, Japan me thodi the wo :P


They woke up with a "HANGover" 😝

Hello folks ! Loving the energy of this place :) Needed some advice regarding CA - I've been 70% regular in reading the newspaper since May but haven't done anything else beside that, took up monthly magazines recently. I've started note making of important stuff but what do I do about the months that have gone by ? And what should I take care of hereon regarding CA ? Studying for CA confuses me very often about how exactly should I proceed with it. Duvidha ka hal bata do please.

Many people haven't even read newspapers and still succeeded so don't worry about that but try and be regular with it. I'm not advising not reading it.

I personally don't make newspaper notes, I abhor making notes! So monthly magazines are my resort. 

Been pretty inconsistent with CA myself but I'm covering the backlog with monthlies.

You can do the same. Try and lay more focus on news regarding topics that are important wrt the syllabus like WTO, PDS, Governor etc.

Hope it helps! 💜

Welcome aboard!

I've been at your place and I guess many people are still placid readers out there. It's be fun if we got more interaction here.

Hope you have a great time here too!!

Got up late. Then watched House of Dragons. 

Earlier I used to be like “Zindagi ho to aisi ho… warna zinda to…” (Guddu pandit kahin)

 I’d rather want to be free folk. The only wish is to have the name to family and kins. Because they have invested in me and look up to me. 

The politics to power becomes fierce because of the rule that Winner takes it all. There should rather be a proportional representation. 

Today’s targets:

  1.  Newspaper
  2.  Modern history (I’ll try to finish it by today)
  3. CA 
  4. Test


Completed all except the test. Ab Test ko halt hi karte hain. Kyun rojana target de ke khud ko embarrass karna.

Modern taking more time than it should. I was like this frustrated in reading only 18 pages of my notes:


 Target for this week is to complete the revision of all subjects. Then only mock test.

@Morticia   same as@Aazaad  I also faced no problem in CA class.

 @LetsGetThisBread  is the professor? Where’s the next heist?

Gute Nacht 


Meri abhi bhi nahi chal rahi hain 😑

@LetsGetThisBread Sure, maate(माते) ! Do you have any reciprocal plans? Like can you get this exam cleared in return of offerings? 

@Naadan_Parinda Matching vibes. Even I wanna live that long. 

Shubh Prabhat doston! 


All done(I guess this is a first for an overambitious goal setter like me).

I have a long college day tomorrow. Dekhte hai. Will do CA tomorrow. 

@LetsGetThisBread Yaar kyun btaya ye secret. Ab I will have tough time during negotiations kyunki tumhari demand bad jayegi.

Hi guys. Spent around 9-10 hours in college.What I could barely manage was reading 10-15 pages of May monthly + Cursory reading of Newspaper

My CA completion are delayed by miles I guess.

@RiRi Mera khud peeche hai toh don't worry.Some tips-

1. Newspaper reading is necessary, not essential

2. Do read monthlies or you can refer to those 365 stuff at the end

3. Avoid making notes from Newspaper. It has very low RoI

@Lawstice Not a mere professor, but rather she is the Dean of a prestigious department.Lol

Not so Shubh Ratri!

Dont stress too much for CA for now. It’ll be anyway covered in monthly or yearly compilations. Newspapers are only to keep you updated and aware about the events happening in the world and the ideas being discussed among the different interest groups. The same things keep repeating in different forms. Try to be consistent from now onwards.
