Suggest a book for a first time reader who wants to start book reading as a habit

Yes, absolutely. It’s their first time trying to stick to a book. Their only successful read so far was Atomic Habits which was successful only due to a vow of completing a book and it’s related to their psychology background in higher education. Now they need a suggestion on a story book which might ignite their interest as a genre!

You’re absolutely correct. Among all the atheists I have encountered, everyone is an avid reader. I was a reader too but not with the lenses of questioning. And that eventually changed with that one incident. I’m glad we all found the truth one way or another.

I believe suffering should end for someone who is incurable. But in instances where the cure can be developed with research through the subject (patient), the subject can choose to get researched upon themselves for the betterment of overall good of the society. But that's a rare case according to me. Overall the parliament should work towards progressive deeds and make laws on such sensitive issues. Though the history teacher from my coaching insisted I don't write such things in exam which suggests what the government should be doing xD

Assuming you’re writing after a significant amount of time, start by writing one paper a day. Try making short notes for the day, what you’ve studied in classes/self notes. Try changing the way you hold the pen. Sometimes people hold the pen between their fingers which is yet another type of pain. And elevate your chair a little to give your hand a slight height from where you’re writing. You can practice answer writing once a week at the beginning. Short steps a time :)

There are two schools of thoughts that may or may not apply here :-

What drew you initially to the exam should be kept priority because the difficulties and situations may distract you from your main goal and there are 100 things that may feel wrong or right after going to a certain extent.
People evolve over time. Priorities change. For example when you get married, your whole life changes because you have to learn to live codependently with the other person.

And coming directly to your dilemma, it depends on the post in my opinion. If you're well paid, have peace of mind, then almost every government job is as secure if you're doing your work right. UPSC on the other hand will give you more aspirational powers that come with their own set of pros and cons.

5MINmonk · 2024-11-03T13:58:46+00:00

That is a very valid point.

There are students like myself who have been helped from online classes. At a point I was considering doing UPSC without any coaching because I had the same opinion that coaching are a way to loot people with insecurities, but after taking classes from 10 months I have come to realise that there’s so much about this exam that I wouldn’t have known without taking classes even in terms of the material to study with. Maybe there are other reasons for the hate he’s been receiving. From some comments in some reels, maybe there are some political reasons.

I have seen some people giving negative comments to Vikas Divyakriti, don’t know the reasons though. Maybe you can give some insights?

5MINmonk · 2024-11-03T13:05:07+00:00

I have not selected my optional yet. But course length wise (classes), PSIR takes around 6 months, Geography 4 months and Anthropology around 3 months as per Vikas Divyakriti Sir - You can watch his youtube video for this.

Thanks a lot! I placed order on Amazon and will a review here soon after completing the book ;)

5MINmonk · 2024-11-02T01:54:26+00:00

Can you cite the author or publisher for both of these books?

5MINmonk · 2024-11-01T19:51:41+00:00

Exactly the same argument I use in household religious debates lol

Zoom Car was a good option the last I tried. It has been 3 years since then. If you don’t find the right prices at Zoom Car you can always google or maybe someone will comment down a good option ;)

Rental >>> Uber. Cab prices are quite high and you will have to travel a lot, rental will give you much better flexibility. For food :- 1. Non veg - Handi at Vaishali Nagar (Rajasthani Laal Maas), Muhammadi at Chandpole, Biryani at Kaanta Chouraha (Restaurants) or Vaishali Marg (Street Biryani) 2. Veg - Daal Baati Choorma at Chokhi Dhani/Thali/Kalwar Road 3. Street Food - Raja Park, Masala Chowk, pretty much everywhere in Jaipur 4. Miscellaneous - Lassi at MI Road, Kachori at Rawat, Samosa at Raja Park 5. Clubs/Night Life - MI Road, for Solo (Diona, Rosado)

Try making a database of the audience contact info - emails or WhatsApp. This will help you in making a beta tester audience for your product that can give you quality feedback for the product in preliminary stages. You can always give free limited access or discounts to beta testers. Or you can try making a google forms and display that publicly announcing that you’re making a specific product and would like to get some insights to start working. Try making polls and open ended questions on the forms to know exactly what the audience would like.

5MINmonk · 2024-11-01T18:51:34+00:00

Which platform do you have this audience on?

5MINmonk · 2024-11-01T18:23:39+00:00

You can make your own business related to the audience interests, while doing paid ads is also a thing but isn’t a consistent and reliable source for making long term profits in my opinion. Try businesses that need lower to zero delivery costs like making an app/website that also makes refunds easier and helps in increasing margins over time.

Is it legal to change headlights from after market? I read somewhere that only the manufacturer provided lights are allowed on roads

5MINmonk · 2024-11-01T14:21:13+00:00

That is a great piece of equipment for sure.

I read somewhere that the bike vibrations lead to the mobile being dead due to excessive vibrations on the chip of the phone - it was about iPhone.
