Current Affairs require you to revise Disqualification of lawmakers.

I could not find a single resource and thus wrote a blog post compiling all 3 ways of disqualification

1. 10th schedule for defection
2. u/A 102(1) for MPs & 191(1) for MLAs
3. u/ Representation of The People Act (RPA) 1951

Learn below 👇🏻

मैंने देखें है बंद कमरों में खुले सपने।
मैंने देखें है पराए होते वो अपने।

मैंने समझी है माँ बाबा कि लाचारी
मैंने किताबों में सीखी है दुनियादारी

मेरा दिन लक्ष्मीकान्त से शुरू
और शाम लक्ष्मी के अभाव में निकलती है।

मेरी रात में अशोक, अकबर और पुरु
और दोपहर विश्वास में सम्भलती है।

मेरा परिचय है किताबों का वो कोना
गुमनाम पहचान, सड़क पर मेरा ना होना।

शाहजहाँ की कहानी से शाहजहाँ रोड का सफ़र करूँगा मैं
UPSC भवन से India Gate तक असर करूँगा मैं।

मेरा नाम आज गुमनाम है, कल दुनिया जानेगी
मैं कलाम का अनुयायी, दुनिया जल्द मानेगी।

मैं जहाँ से आया हूँ और जहाँ मुझे जाना है,
अकेला हूँ और शिखर जल्द कमाऊँगा
मैं भारतीय हूँ, जय हिन्द हर पल गाऊँगा॥ 🇮🇳

चलो, एक शर्त लगाते है

आज से हर दिन 3 चीज़ों पर ध्यान देंगे।
एक शरीर, दूसरी पढ़ाई, तीसरी कमाई
दिन में समय बाँट लो।
थोड़ा थोड़ा तीनों में

आज से ठीक 6 महीने बाद
शरीर का ‘बल’ बेहतर होगा
कमाई ‘बुद्धि’ से करेंगे
और पढ़ाई ‘विद्या’ में मज़बूत होंगे

I am in my mid 20s.

Last night when I put my phone down after a conversation with my father, I had a realisation that hit me like a truck.

I’m convinced that a person needs their Father more in adulthood than when they are a kid

No one else supports me or stands by me offering comfort like my father does. Conventionally, I have failed multiple times on societal standards.

It’s just because of my parents backing that I am standing stronger than ever before and now building again.

Papa is someone who puts unconditional faith with utmost love in me.

No matter what happens, no matter whosoever changes around you; there’s one rock who is always there! Like a strong man, making you one.

It is the critical time of adulthood,
losing and winning on daily basis,
when you’re learning about the world, when a father eases the thorns in your path, unconditionally.
