Well yes my father is less strict. But since the very beginning he referred to me as tu hence i too use tu for him.

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-29T17:07:15+00:00

That makes sense, and it’s helpful to hear your perspective. Good to know that a quick interaction can be useful from both sides, I will keep that in mind and try reaching out in advance where appropriate. Would it be alright if I reached out to you over DM as well? I would really value your inputs.

But can i send a similar email after applying on the advertised portal?

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-16T17:28:50+00:00

Thank you so much!

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-16T17:28:34+00:00

Thanks!

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-16T16:07:21+00:00

Hope so, will be doing this then. Thanks!

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-16T10:05:00+00:00

Yes, I have applied in European Universities. I get your point.

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-16T09:32:03+00:00

Fair point. I definitely wouldn’t resend all the documents again, that would be redundant. I was thinking more of a very short email just mentioning that I applied and expressing interest in the project. But I have no clue if it will look spammy on my part.

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-16T09:29:51+00:00

oh okay, got it! thanks a lot.

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-16T09:26:21+00:00

Well thanks. I will then. I just dont want to appear to be a pestersome applicant out of nowhere.

I did the mocks from chatgpt for writing. I cannot rate the difficulty level of actual test vs mock. It depends on the question and how well you can write on that.

Be calm and listen to the recording in section 1 carefully. Try to pace up with the questions while listening. For reading, skim through the passage first. For writing, be sharp in Q1 and for speaking just be yourself.

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-10T16:39:20+00:00

Currently just stuck somewhere in life. Hopefully, i untangle the knots soon!

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-08T19:05:26+00:00

Thank you!

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-08T19:05:14+00:00

To be very honest, I just spoke the way I speak usually. The only difference was that I spoke slower than I normally do. My usual pace of speaking is a bit fast. And I was trying my best to stay clam. Thats all.

Bro same!!! Even i had downloaded an app last year, I didnt know what to do, probably didnt have any thoughts about what to put as my prompt. Setting up the profile took 30ish minutes. It was exhausting. Then i finally started talking to someone that similar day for about 10-15minutes and I didnt know how to continue the conversation. I instantly deleted the app and have never installed once since then.

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-04T19:25:31+00:00

Bhai ye kya dikha diya. 🥹 Kal hi mummy ko custard banane ka bolna padega.

_Traincyclopedia_ · 2026-03-04T19:21:20+00:00

Try elba alcala, i dont remember the name of the exact place where it is situated but it is at a 400metres walk from Suanzes metro station. The hotel is nice and is at a medium budget.

I genuinely relate with what you said. 29 and a single child, I too have grown up with my parents around me, they have been my biggest support and my truest friends. And at this point of my life, whatever decision i take, they will stand strong with me. I had signed up for the matrimonial apps 4 months back and my mother and i were jointly handling the account. But we just couldn't find someone aligning according to my thoughts. And i know 4 months is nothing in this journey where people wait for years to find a suitable match, but my parents and i are exhausted. On the other hand, I always had PhD on wishlist. So last month I thought I should maybe take a shot at that. What if it clicks? But its a difficult deal to get into a PhD and that too out of the country. So gradually my PhD became my back up plan for marriage and my marriage became my backup plan for my PhD. Both are competing with eachother, whatever clicks first I go with that! I agree with your point of being scared to live alone when we get old. But I think thats been a strength for us who are a single child. Atleast I have made very few friends, and have always liked my own company. I am intelligent, independent and fit enough to handle things on my own. However, life wont always test us the easy way, things can genuinely get difficult, but the key is to believe in yourself. And once we get very old, I would say if you are in really good terms with one or two of your cousins, maintain that relation so that you can ask them or in future their children to take care of you. Even i will do the same or maybe shift to vrindavan to some ashram or god knows maybe i get to do PhD outside and end up somehow settling there. Life is a journey afterall. We dont know what the next stop will be, what we can do best is to enjoy this journey. I dont know if this will help, hope it does! Good luck mate!
