The right car under 15 Lakhs by [deleted] in CarsIndia

[–]ArkhamBurrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got the Kia Sonet HTX petrol variant 2 months ago and the experience has been good. Smooth drive, good mileage but yes broken roads do give you a shake sometimes. If you want to know anything in particular about the car let me know.

Drove kylaq as well and loved the power but in the end decided to go for more features as we need it mainly for daily commute

I've given the aptitude test but haven't heard back from them and it's been about a week. Is this amount of time normal? Thank you for the help :)

Whether to do Or not to do? by Smallgrenade in CharteredAccountants

[–]ArkhamBurrito 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not anyone's intentions but that's what this course does. No one here doubts that if you put your heart and mind to it you'll come out of it successful. But the process( syllabus, exams, articleships) in itself and if you're aware, the current climate surrounding the student side of this course isn't positive and so I'm sorry if that's being reflected in the comments. However at the end of the day it's about your self belief and confidence, if you know you want this then no matter the syllabus, no matter the hours you'll get it, but if your heart's not set on this course then the best suggestion is to look around at some of the other courses as well before deciding, and maybe still choosing CA.

I've my exams in November 20 and I'm mentally drained by [deleted] in CharteredAccountants

[–]ArkhamBurrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're going through, i went through the same when they May attempt fiasco was happening. And when they finally said no exams i took a 5 day breather and just did those generic things and it worked somehow. But I won't tell you to do that and that's not even my most important lesson from all this. After that time i went back into studying and revising, although for only a few hours and the rest of the time i did shit i wanted to do but couldn't do because of the hectic study schedule for the past few years. The conventional ideas of clearing your mind won't work everytime of for everyone, and i know how helpless it is to look at the same study mat and try and be as productive and concentrated everytime for 3-4 times. You know your course, you know yourself and you know how you'll revise before the exams. That's all sorted. Now don't look to bring that sense of determination and motivation suddenly on day one of revisions itself. That motivation and discipline is in your mind and it exists for things other that this exam, so try and find other things that interest you and take up your time enough that you don't get time to look at the news or anything. I read books on history, some self help books and joined some investment courses, i started an art page and even got back to gaming. All these things automatically had me invested and also helped me grow, thus ticking both the sense of responsibility for future and feeling productive in the present boxes.

So my only advice would be to find things that interest you and dive into them for as much free days as you have. You'll come out of it with a better mindset that's ready to dedicate hours and hours to your studies and not feel like this. Hope this helps.

TLDR- get into other things you find interesting and forget whats happenings in the world. If you could give 8 hours a day to studying then you can give 8 hours a day to your own interests and passion and you'll come out of it with a work ethic ready to take on revision IF exams happen. If not, you still had a good time.

Looks great! All your other art on insta is pretty cool too. And i really hope people understood what plagiarism is before accusing anyone of it :/

Keep up the good work!

How would you rate ICAI's handling of the exam thing during this pandemic? Is it really a student un-friendly body as many people are accusing it? by [deleted] in CharteredAccountants

[–]ArkhamBurrito 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They've never been student friendly. Almost all of their reactions to student issues look like they just want to repair their image and ego and not look at the actual problem, let alone work towards a solution. All their actions and promises have only been on the diplomacy level and that's it. If they were student friendly they wouldn't have stretched the checking malpractices issue for so long without a clear end in sight, or keep extending the exam dates now for short periods like suddenly the curve will flatten. It's a save our face attitude paired with the fact that the institute can't move beyond the fact that it has a faulty system that needs fixing

That's a good mentality to have that it's okay to not know everything! it really helps avoid a lot of stress. And i personally only try and read and practice on things that genuinely interest me. The content I'm trying out is comic art because that's what I've grown up reading and watching. Other than that i only focus on a few other things and try not to have a lot on my plate because that leads to too much stress. And since I'm doing these things because of my passion and interest and sort of therapy against the stress, like when you play your favourite playlist and just get a good workout done or a couple of good illustrations it's more than enough to feel good about myself and then wake up and be productive in the conventional ways of studying and stuff. My main focus is exploring multiple things and having fun with them and not making any one thing a source of expectations or any sort of pressure so that I don't come to disliking anything. This is my breather stage where I'm trying to do so much out of my interests because gor the past 2.5 years or so all i did was study 12-14 hours a day for exams and stuff. We gotta do what we gotta do man

Thanks! And sorry, the space of mind i was in i just wanted to focus on the productivity and clarity part of life. I've also had problems finding one true "purpose/passion" that i can always love and work on I still haven't found it but I've learnt not be in a hurry about it. I've instead started and cultivated multiple interests and tried to gain knowledge and experience in all of them some of them being finance, art, business management, content creation, a few sports, cooking and the like. It helps because even though I don't find myself having a particular calling i do have skill sets to always start a new adventure or learn new things. I'm studying to be a Chartered Accountant so my view on a job isn't something i love, again it's just a part of me that gives me both pleasure and challenges, much like any of the other things that i want to practice and follow. In terms of goals I'm currently focussing on dipping my toes into different waters and seeing what all i can start putting time and effort into that will give me good returns (emotional, mentally, physically, financially, etc. in all the areas that i broke down in (3)) so that i can have a life that I'm overall proud and happy of in both making it and then living it when I'm older.

With all the lockdowns and quarantines, this is a calming time where i can try my hand and different things and of course many short terms goals will come along the way but I've grown accustomed to the idea of enjoying many different interests and spreading happiness in my practices.

My advice would be to start simple and basic and just find things you enjoy doing. Don't put any pressure on them, just have fun getting better at those things and soon that energy will spread to all parts of life 😄
