As exams approach, it's natural to feel demotivated and want to give up. This happens to everyone, even top students. Everyone feels scared and struggles with sleep as exams draw near. Despite this, it's crucial to stay calm and composed. Aim to complete at least 70-80% of your daily targets. Trust in your hard work and remember that fear and stress are part of the process. You're not alone in this. Every student faces similar challenges. What sets successful students apart is their resilience and determination. Instead of letting anxiety take over, focus on your preparation. Break your study goals into manageable tasks and celebrate small victories. Stay disciplined with your study schedule but also make time for relaxation and self-care. Regular breaks, a healthy diet, and some physical activity can help maintain your energy and focus. Remember, it's not about being perfect but about giving your best effort. Keep pushing forward, stay disciplined, and believe in yourself.✨✨

Very informative piece. Very engaging too. Look at the simplicity with which Mill's HARM PRINICPLE has been discussed here. Everyone should read it, especially #psir folks. And this is how you connect with the recent incidents to emohasize how one theory stands relevant even in oresent times to tackle the dilemma of balancing two competing interests. Feel free to include and quote this in your answers. But dont quote just for name sake. Always try to make a persuasive case. Remember you are convincing a reader via your texts. Do read it. I insist.

What Is RIGHT Awareness? … Buddha's whole methodology is that of self-remembering: SAMMASATI. It has been translated as right-mindfulness or right awareness. What is RIGHT awareness? Can awareness also be wrong? Yes, there is a possibility: if awareness becomes too much focused on the object it is wrong awareness. Awareness has to be aware of itself, then it is right awareness. When you look at a tree, at a mountain, at a star, you can be conscious -- conscious of the tree, conscious of the mountain, conscious of the star -- but you are not conscious of the one who is conscious of all these things. This is wrong awareness, focused on the object. You have to unfocus it from the object, you have to help it turn inwards. You have to bring it to your own interiority, you have to fill your subjectivity with its light. When one is full of light, not showing other things in the light but only showing the light itself, then it is right awareness and that is the door to nirvana, to God -- to self-actualization. ~ OSHO The Dhammapada: The Way Of The Buddha,

🔆Mob violence as an indicator of dysfunctional criminal justice system:- ✅The most important factor is there simply aren’t enough policemen to police. By UN standards, at current population levels, UP needs around a million police personnel. At present it has around 3, 00,000. ✅" Those who are there are not just overburdened and under-resourced, but their professional spine has been broken by casteism, corruption and frequent transfers. ✅ Besides being severely understaffed and starved of critical resources, the structure of policing, in a continuation of its colonial legacy, remains subservient to political control. ✅" Political interference at every stage from investigation to prosecution ensures that the police is accountable not to the citizenry, but to the powerful political class who is in a position to reprimand them. ✅Criminal justice system seeks largely to respond to the acts of violence itself, while leaving the causal factors unchecked. ✅Failure of police machinery:- 🔰" They consistently fail to lodge FIRs or charge sheets on time. In many cases, allegations of collusion have been made against them. Poor investigation and reluctance of public prosecutors to pursue cases have resulted in bails for alleged culprits. ✅Conviction rates are abysmal. 🔰Witnesses turn hostile as a matter of routine with no adverse consequences. 🔰Forensic facilities are negligible. 🔰Prisons are overcrowded and more often than not, they serve as safe havens for well-connected gangsters to run their empires from. #security #mains Join @upscgurus

This painting is done on wet surface(Mural on dry surface) Imli water used to be applied on surface to avoid fungus on paintings. Scenes of Ramayan depicted on the walls

Patience is the highest asceticism.

It is important to disabuse the younger generation of the notion that government service is the only way of serving the nation. Being a good teacher, an ethical accountant, a conscientious chemist and an honest contractor are also ways of serving society and contributing towards nation-building. All honest hard work goes into building a nation. Public service neither has the monopoly nor does it provide any extraordinary opportunity to serve the nation. @upscgurus

There was a dialogue in Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Gandhi ji ki photo har building, road , vote , note se nikal do agar rakhna hai to dil me rakho. This sounds so impactful today. Look what’s happening in Bangladesh , they are pissing on their“ Father of Nation’s “ statues. Same happened in USA during BLM movement. We never know what future generation will do to you and your legacy. Statues are made and destroyed throughout history ==> For political purpose !! @upscgurus

#OPINION If you've studied hard, you've slogged day in day out, you've put your blood and sweat in going through those books and notes again and again then YOU HAVE TO ENCASH that HARDWORK no matter what. If UPSC is not for you or if you are missing Interview or even Prelims of UPSC by the barest of margins then go for State PCS exams. Even if you don't want to join it, mere cracking of exams like CAPF, CDS etc gives you a lot of confidence and helps in CV building too if you want to switch to private sector. But Encashing the hardwork is super important, don't let your 1/2/3/4/5/6/7 years of slogging go down the drain. Sometimes it's just about time when we think of pulling out of the bout, so give yourself those targeted few more months, those few more entrances, those few more exams and the results would be just around the corner. Never doubt yourself! Never-Ever!
