Movie Recommendations:

Arrival: This was the movie I was speaking about in yesterday’s essay session! A well crafted movie connecting the themes of “The first contact” with ETs and linguistics!

Maze Runner: We’ve spoken about how this exam is like the Maze from the movie. It also explores psychology of group think and of our innate tribal selves!

Slight delay in the Ethics session. To begin at 3.15 instead of 3!

Community Meet Session

Date: 25th June, Sunday
Time: 3.30PM
Agenda: Just a community meet where we will speak/rant about UPSC and beyond!

Relevant across the trades! 🔥

I’ll see you guys on time! It’ll be more engaging if the participants turn their cameras on so that we simulate the feel of an actual meet-up!

Great session guys! It was super fun for me. Send the minutes at @helpdeskupsc if you documented!

This is a good template of what I mean when I tell you to write "formally" in an essay. Left one is more text like!

You're not a productivity machine. Round the clock 'Hustle' is a lie. I, for one, merely existed today. It's okay to have bad days, it's okay to just be!

Working on "mission mode" doesn't mean "rushing" through things in a half hearted manner. Take your time, understand, internalise and move forward!

With time, सब बनेगा।

Words are more profound than ever!

I was planning to start this since sometime but just didn't have the bandwidth or the opportunity to get this upto speed.

Today seems to be the right time. I always wanted the UPSC groups to be focused. But I got a gentle reminder today about the fact that there's a 'LIFE' outside this exam. So I'm creating another group, and the name should be self explanatory.

I've seen a lot of things by now, also outside the bounds of this exam. And I think we all need a community, not only for this exam, but also for LIFE in general. I'm sure we'll create an encouraging place with no room for toxicity and limitless space for growth.

See you soon!
