revolution_is_just_not_enough

I am in complete isolation, for a year now and now it's really getting difficult with each passing day,esp. amidst this uncertainty of Covid! I am an extrovert person, it's really hard to deal with this and continue studying! Plus three of my family members are in essential services, so they go out everyday to work. Due  to which,they are extremely vulnerable to this disease this adds to my tension.!   So,I have started doing few things to divert my mind: 1. Learning French- I wanted to learn this since my college days, esp. when I read french revolution and came across those words, failing every single time to pronounce them correctly. 2.  Writing my blogs! Yes, I started this to overcome the burden that isolation for me has now become. 3. Playing 8 ball pool! I am improving! Trying new angles.  Hoping that all this would soon subside and I would give my exam,and everything will be normal again!!!!! French Alphabets!

This sketch was gifted to me by my teacher cum friend Abhinav Goswami when I was leaving Delhi. He is an artist, a philosopher and a true friend. This sketch,according to him, represents ME and his philosophic mind explained this. I will try to present to the explanation  but without his carefully used vocabularies.! (I am not capable enough to replicate the same🤣) So, in the sketch, the sky in the background represents the soft side of me, how I am generally visible to everyone.But the stones at the front represents me from inside. Me being as strong as those stones.  So,according to him, I am an amalgamation of both- harshness(or boldness) and softness.  Well, I have forgotten a lot of things which he mentioned along with this. This is all I could remember now. I am not in contact with him since June,last year. Will surely, meet and ask him the explanation again!

Again in news is a historical event which took place during British rule : 'Mappila/Moplah/Malabar revolt' I read about it in history books of mine and the sequence of events that took place were as follows: Moplahs : descendants of Arab traders became dependent on agriculture, turned into cultivating tenants(landless labourers) land was given by ruling rajas to Namboodri Brahmins and chieftains. (which became their janmam rights) Land revenue was equally shared between the three. Under Tipu Sultan and Haider Ali, these land ruling classes fled and their position taken up Moplahs (became kanamdars) Under British rule, Jenmi land tenures were recognised while these Moplah peasants were rendered landless.  1834-36, 1882-85, 1876: uprisings took place against British and Hindu landlords,  1921: Moplah uprising took place but this time it merged into larger Khilafat Movement taking place in the country. This lent a religious overtone to the movement and it turned violent. It als...

Today is my birthday! One of my friends asked my wish for the day! I proudly said, I don't wish for anything, I achieve it! But now that I am quiet and was introspecting, I found that my wish is to become a better person with each passing day!  Despite this being in my hand is still away from me. Knowingly or Unknowingly, I always do things I might not approve of had I been writing an Ethics answer! I want to own all kindness and altruism one can possibly have! Yes, that's my wish for the day. Unachievable yet Doable all time!😇😇😇 AND apart from my family, these two are the people (in the pic) who inspired me to become what I am, and inspires me to become what I am not(but want to become)!!

These days, there are three things I am extremely worried and tensed about. ☹️ 1. Nepal-China-India relations-- Repeated provocations and associated turmoil. 2. Sushant Singh rajput's Suicide 3. My failure to do certain things in my life. Nepal-china-India relations and India's position: I have always been against Imperialism and it's associated legacies. India like many other former colonies is a  free country now. But it's an irony that things that are creating turmoil in a free country is based on 'colonial lineages'. Be it Sagauli treaty between British India and Nepal or Aksai Chin region and Macmohan Line or for that matter India-Pakistan(again a colonial legacy) border disputre. All are products of Colonial rule. Thus, even without colonial chains we are in chains! This is not limited to India and its neighbouring countries but to every former colony. This really makes me frustrated!!  Next in line is SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT'S suicide: When I was on Inst...

I don't know how can one be so selfless! My mom gives me unapproachable goals everyday! I constantly feel that before emulating anybody I should try to emulate my mom's dedication.....🌝

I just saw that Prelims might get postponed!  I was working constantly for the Prelims until now, without any sign of rest! But when you are surrounded with uncertainties and negativities all around,, it becomes a little difficult to keep marching forward!☹️☹️ But whole world is losing in one part or another!! I am in a far better position than them...... My mind is constantly telling me that we will surely be able to come out of this and a new sunshine along with blessings will be showered upon us!! I am being very optimistic ever since this epidemic broke out!! Till then! I will continue to work hard and harder than before!!

It's Day 16 of the Lockdown! Only good thing amidst this lockdown for me is that I was already under lockdown since June 2019....... And you cannot push someone underground who is already underground!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆

MY CORONODEFICIENTIC SCORES I am working very hard to improve my mock scores but they are stuck between 70-110. Sometimes I feel disheartened, dejected, alone!  But it just take seconds to realise that this is just an exam, not life.  I have been working since last year, it will not go in vain...Those who clear this exam are not superhumans..  This exam has given me a lot till now, even without me having cleared it....... Of course, it has given me shear amount of knowledge......  but I have never ever felt so enlightened before.. With each passing day, I become a better human.  I feel bad whenever I waste food,, electricity or water because I know to what extent people in this world are suffering.  Moreover, I don't take a lot of things for granted which I used to take just a year back. For e.g, sleeping is something I can never think being taken away from me. But the plight of labourers wandering due to this pandemic, made me change th...

Well, this is my first blog and in most probable terms not going to be the last.  There are a lot of things in my mind yet nothing completely understandable or comprehensible. Still I will try to note a few of them. 1. Coronavirus and its associated uncertainties 2. My UPSC prelims exam and mock tests. 3. My friends who are enjoying this lockdown on social media. (I know this because I stalk them). This blog too might be a social medium but utterly free of chaos and competition,,no showoffs,,no likes,,no comments!!  4. Will I be able to continue with this blog? and How shall I use it?? 5. I write 'shayris',,shall I show this to the world?? 6. Hitting Nostalgia....
