CONTRAST : Setting 100.

This is a late post. Actually, i wrote this when we came back but forgot to post it. So, we went on a 10-11 day OFFICIAL educational tour of Europe visiting NETHERLANDS, BELGIUM, FRANCE, SWITZERLAND & LEICHTENSTEIN. Many things have already been said and many pictures posted, so I am just going to tell few things which i found to be opposite of what we have here in India. Good or bad, these things are in CONTRAST. 1) TRAFFIC. HERE Four Wheelers are given the most importance then comes the number of two wheelers and then finally the pedestrians, THERE pedestrians are the most important (probably because they cant afford to lose out on their already meagre population), then comes the bicycle walas, then the two wheelers and finally the four wheelers. They have these pedestrians red lights everywhere so basically when it is red for them they are supposed to stop but if somehow u miss it then the four wheeler would stop and first let you pass. HERE we dont even have s

Things to look for in NADT- A letter in Nostalgia.

Hello 72nd Batch, First of all Congratulations guys for not having us there. I can well understand the feeling because we also used to feel the same way about our seniors. I think you must have realised by now or someone must have made you realise that academy is the best place to be in. Unfortunately for us and fortunately for you its true. So i am trying to bring it your kind notice things which you can do to make it more interesting, it includes things we did and also things we couldnt. 1. FNC Parties. Make FNC parties a regular habit. Atleast twice a month. If weekends are occupied then on weekdays. Also, try to involve everyone and have things of their choice. You can try different themes for ex- only beer evenings or sometimes a non alcoholic party as well. A non-alcohol party gives you an oppurtunity to have those people who dont drink as well and makes them realise that drinking is just a part of fnc and there are many other things also which they are missing by no

Gender Empowerment-10 emerging issues..

Image
A lot has been written and talked about women empowerment. People see just one side of the coin, have they ever thought what our MEN go through because of this. Lets see 10 common problems due to rising focus on women empowerment- 1) The increasing demand for female reservation in Parliament. The men feel that the ever confined BHABHIS, BAHUS, BETIS will show their raula now. Also, everybody knows hat parliament stands for high decibel levels and there are very few Smriti Iranis in the country. 2) The men in Rajasthan feel discriminated as the women have got 30% concession in Sarkari buses. This has another side to it- the ever confined BHABHIS, BAHUS, BETIS have started going to their MAAYKA more often. 3) The increasing viewership of youtube channels like GIRLIYAPA in which the quintessential character wali ladkiyan are abusing like men. The men are fearful that the ever confined BHABHIS, BAHUS, BETIS will turn their homes into LOC. 4) Indian People have always

UPSC Civil Services Prelims Strategy.

When the results got declared i was asked by many to write a detailed prelims strategy, but i didnt due to two main reasons. Firstly, I got busy preparing for this year's mains and secondly, there were plenty of strategies available of various toppers. But now as i am free and the hullabaloo has ended, I think i should write one. So, lets look from the point of view of syllabus itself. The syllabus for the Preliminary Exam for Paper-I: History of India and Indian National Movement. Indian and World Geography - Physical, Social, Economic Geography of India and the World. Indian Polity and Governance - Constitution, Political System, Panchayati Raj, Public Policy, Rights Issues, etc. Economic and Social Development - Sustainable Development, Poverty, Inclusion, Demographics, Social Sector initiatives, etc. General issues on Environmental Ecology, Bio-diversity and Climate Change General Science Current events of national and international importance. 1.

Small Conversation between a BHAKT & an ANTI-NATIONAL.

Image
Since times immemorial our society/world knew two kinds of people-men & women. Then came our distinctions based on caste, creed, colour, religion etc. But since last many centuries, the distinction that has been most prominent in our country has been that of Hindu & Muslims. But let bygones be bygones..we today in this digital world had to have something of our own, not pitted in our minds by our forefathers and fathers, so we developed a new lingo.. Now all the people of this country are divided into 2 kinds- the first are called BHAKTS and all others ANTI-NATIONAL. So on one fine day both of them decided to have a conversation, which eventually turned into an argument, which eventually turned into a spat, which eventually turned into maa behen ki gaalis, which eventually turned into killing of one of them. lets see who gets to be KANSASed and who gets to be TRUMPed. This is a conversation happening after 1 year of demonitisation and also 1 year of TRUMPisisatio

TOLERANCE

In this hullabaloo over INTOLERANCE we have forgotten what defines us the most- TOLERANCE. So, first lets see some of the BIGGEST TOLERANCES of our nation and its people. 1) Even after having 2-4 mbps speed, if d service doesnt work well, we avoid it, that is called tolerance. 2) Despite being one of the followers of Swatchh Bharat Abhiyan, we tend to close our eyes to others littering on the roads, that is tolerance. 3) If terrorists attack, we talk of retribution and break of ties with our neighbour, but when maoists attack and kill more security personnel than the terrorists we hardly raise any voice, that is also tolerance. 4) We go to government offices expecting to wait for 2 hours for a 2 min work, and return back home happily if the work got completed in 1 hour, that is tolerance. 5) We share the flag of France when Paris is attacked in solidarity, but show our tolerance when the same happens to us in Pathankot. 6) People like Radhe Maa and Asaaram make fool of us, but
