I wrote this after a gap of couple of months. Bit rusty though 😅
Petrichor everywhere.
Some smell it from skyscrapers,
Others as they run for shelter.
A few watch it as they sip coffee and snacks,
Many just wait anxiously in their lightless shacks.

Dude, your "Europe" literally stared the WW-I and WW-II. During Napoleonic era, you fought wars like it was some kind of training exercise. Moreover, what's happening in Asia and Africa is an outcome of U.S and EU policies.

: Prince William said it's rather normal to see war and bloodshed in Africa and Asia but not Europe, during a visit to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London today. "It's very alien to see this in Europe. We are all behind you," he told the volunteers there.

I have a few tablets of Eltrombopag 50 mg (Revolade by Novartis) which is used in blood cancer treatment or severe anaemia treatment. These tablets are expensive which are 2000+ per tablet. I want to give it to anyone who is in need in Bengaluru & cannot afford it. Please RT.

exam a hearty congratulations. Those who did not, I know it's a bitter pill to swallow but remember this song by Legendary Kishore Kumar "Zindagi ke yahi reet hai, haar ke baad hi jeet hai"
Keep doing your best! Take care.
Finished my first 10K of my thirties despite a minor knee injury. I was able to finish it, although it took more time than usual. I will definitely do better next time. Onwards and upwards!

sir. As it's popularly said, 'You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.'
In UPSC preparation, it’s not the process, hard work or your final goal that is significant, it’s the company you keep during this journey that matters most.
Bad company. No success.
I remember the call I had with her after mains result. We spoke for more than an hour. I reminded her, that right since day 1, she has been diligent, dedicated and committed to clearing this. I told her this "we will keep giving our best without any expectations" (Nishkamakarma)
This is her second attempt. Last time she gave her mains in first attempt but due to a minor accident she couldn't give her best. She literally wrote the mains limping! Hence, she couldn't clear.
#UPSC
After the result, i just told her one thing "stay true to your roots and moral values. Never forget where you came from and serve the country in your best capacity"
I am optimistic that she will. She is humble, dedicated and most importantly her perservarance is unmatched.

Rohit Sharma is to Indian team what Romelu Lukaku is to Manchester United. Stat padding, bullying minnows especially in conditions favorable to him. Hardly performs when team needs him the most.
I've seen many "experts" suggest ways to overcome daily boredom during the UPSC journey. In my opinion, it's straightforward: Whether it's UPSC or any other field, if you experience daily boredom, then that field may not be right for you.
Challenge accepted
@vinaygb
I have revived it as well. Happy to say that I am currently reading the sixth book of 2023.
Reading books is not only intellectually stimulating but gives yous a sense of calmness and confidence.
Presently reading "The fountainhead by Ayn Rand"
Monthly Reading Challenge- once upon a time I used to read good amount of books. I have decided to revive this hobby & make it consistent. I ve target of reading minimum 2-3 books in a month. But I want you to take up this challenge too & share your reading targets n achievements
But this is not about success and failure. It's about the commitment of Dhamini to overcome obstacles posed by life and society. Defeating personal hurdles and clearing this exam. Makes me extremely proud & happy. Before result i had told her "Clear or not, we will deal with it"
My cousin sister got the message of her second dose of successful vaccination. She didn't go for vaccination site she has exams. Thank you
@narendramodi
Ji for miraculously vaccinating here.
Chelsea lost and team India lost. Few years back I would be so damn upset. Now it hardly affects me. Don't know if its mindset growth or I have bigger problems in life? Probably a bit if both.
5 tablets are not much. But hoping it will help in someway. After mom's passing, I don't want the tablets to go waste. But I would like to see a genuine prescription to ensure its not misused. Do amplify.
In the year that followed, she really worked beyond her capacity. Preparing from her Village in Malurpatna, she used to meet me every week at

where we used to discuss Essays, mains answers, tests and also about life.

It was a group of serious students (second pic) who worked a together for 2022 mains. Along with Dhamini and me in the above pic above are K Manoj Kumar - IPS 2021, Anil, Ram, Gouri, Nirup and Praneeth. I am expecting others also to clear this coming year.
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank the countless people who donated blood to my mom in her fight against blood cancer. Indebted. May God bless you all and pls keep donating. After a prolonged fight, always with lot of courage & a smile, she passed away yesterday.
It is a sad reality. I always tell in my class that clearing this exam is more difficult for girls than boys, as girls aspirants face additional social restrictions from family and society, such as having just one or two attempts, getting married, get a job etc.

After evading covid-19 in the first two waves, I have tested positive today. Mild to moderate symptoms. Kindly do not take it lightly, even mild symptoms are really a pain. Mask up.

This Diwali season, I distribute blankets to 2000 families in Sultanpur, starting a movement here, where instead of spending money on firecrackers,the affluent donate blankets, warm clothes,medicines and food to those in need. One symbolic diya to lessen the darkness around us...
It's extremely tragic that we lost our first CDS who was laying the foundations for tri service coordination and interoperability. We also lost 11 other precious lives. Life is unpredictable but this is a monumental loss for the country.

The only way for Congress is to kick all incompetant dynasts out. Bring in someone who can counter Modi. I say M.S Dhoni would be perfect narrative. Story as interesting as Modi. World Cup hero. Nationalist and military lover. Most importantly, more famous in South than Modi.
