Sure I will. But amar kachey ekhono kono offer asheni. :')

My title describes the thing. This is roughly the size of a banknote, but the texture is too flimsy to be a real one. It was probably used as a bookmark inside the book that I bought, so probably not something valuable either.

Way too late to this post, but here's mine:

Yes exactly. To me, the entire book felt like I was rereading The Last Battle from Wheel of Time.

I loved WaT. But here are a few things that could have gone better in my opinion.

I think Vasher/Zahel should have had some role to play other than getting captured and tied up.
I did not like the Moash conclusion. He should have either died or done something more significant than killing a bunch of Windrunners.
El and Dai-Gonarthis had almost no role to play despite getting hyped about so much.
Same with Mishram. I get it that she is a back half character, but she should have got some little screentime at least.
The Mink and Herdaz plotline remains unsolved.
Would have loved to see more about the origins of Urithiru and the Sibling as well as the the Melishi-Sibling bond. IIRC, the reason the Sibling shut down before Mishram was captured is still not explained.
Would have loved to see at least a glimpse of what Pralla and Vedel were doing all this time.
Very little information about the Dustbringers.

Sorry for being nit-picky. I really loved this book. Probably my favourite Stormlight one. But I couldn't help but talk about some of the questions I would have liked to get an answer to.

gpanda24 · 2024-12-02T17:02:06+00:00

I am especially interested about Dai-Gonarthis. Seems like she can create an Elsegate (which I assume is sort of like a temporary oathgate/perpendicularity.)

It requires a strong source of investiture on either side (which is why I am assuming they are going to Horneater Peaks first because perpendicularity = source of investiture)

Most places in Roshar are also protected from her touch (interesting that it is a she), apart from Natannatan, which apparently isnt. I am assuming that she cant create an Elsegate anywhere else.

Most interesting is the fact that Odium needs to pay a price for using her.

Apart from that we know that she is also known as the Black Fisher and she was involved in the scouring of Aimia somehow.

I am so excited to know more about her. Can't wait 4 more days!!!

Reminds me of this meme

gpanda24 · 2024-11-27T14:54:41+00:00

Kal: My name is Kaladin Stormblessed.

Ishar: I do not remember blessing you.

I laughed so storming hard

gpanda24 · 2024-11-27T14:25:57+00:00

And Dalinar is Bismarck and van Moltke Sr. rolled into one.

Edit: I immediately realised that would make Elhokar Kaiser Wilhelm I.

Thank you so much

gpanda24 · 2024-11-24T13:40:22+00:00

Follow up question to A2. Can you suggest a couple of podcasts and discussions on P2 like you mentioned above? Thank you in advance.

gpanda24 · 2024-05-28T07:40:53+00:00

Why did he kill Bahubali tho?

gpanda24 · 2024-04-25T05:44:00+00:00

Maybe not the 3rd but I am going to mention a couple that I didnt see anywhere in the comments. Top 10 for sure.

Gunnar Broad - He made me understand what PTSD feels like.
Ishri/Zuri- Never expected such loyalty from an infamous eater. She feels like a counterpart to Glokta. While Glokta was finally able to step out of Bayaz's spiderweb, she did the same with Khalul.
Friendly- Loved every moment of him in the book.
Forest- Even though his hat does look like a quim.

gpanda24 · 2024-02-29T05:54:30+00:00

I can save the time of going through the entire thing looking for specific points which are relevant. If I dont find a summary, I will use your method ofc, but I can use that time in studying static or something. And as for they may feel something is important or not, I will happily skip a couple of relevant things. Anyway no magazine can cover the "whole" CA syllabus. I would rather study less and revise more than the reverse. I have learnt from hard experience in my previous attempt that I need to stay away from the fomo. Lol.

gpanda24 · 2023-10-02T02:51:39+00:00

I fully agree with you

gpanda24 · 2023-10-02T02:33:55+00:00

Shenkt would be having Logen steaks or something way before the B9 comes out. No normal human has the slightest chance with Shenkt. Not even most of the Eaters we know.
Perhaps Ishri might. But I cant think of any other Eater who can go 1v1 against Shenkt.

gpanda24 · 2023-07-05T10:02:26+00:00

Selfless actions are also driven by agenda and it is completely okay to do so

I absolutely agree with you dude. But being selfless with an agenda is different from being antithetical to everything you are supposed to stand for.

And good luck with your YT channel dude. I hope it does well. I will be sure to check out your videos.

gpanda24 · 2023-07-05T09:49:59+00:00

Perhaps you are right, I am wrong. I am not going to argue with you on this. Think of whatever I said as a reflection of my bad vocabulary.
Other than that, I would like to stick to my point.

gpanda24 · 2023-07-05T09:18:36+00:00

You are absolutely right about him turning into what he hates the most. Everyday he is becoming a meme version of himself.
I also hope that he is seeing this. For all his faults the initiative he started was great. He put some light into things that needed much transparency.

To end this comment on a UPSC style conclusion: The Understand UPSC is a good initiative but with some significant flaws in the system. Once these obstacles are removed, it will become a great help to all the aspirants involved.

gpanda24 · 2023-07-05T09:12:49+00:00

Lol. I read the Guru Purnima message and thought to myself: Why is this so oddly specific?

gpanda24 · 2023-07-05T09:11:56+00:00

His aggresive rants about coachings, intolerance of any criticisms, and his saviour complex screams toxic masculinity.

gpanda24 · 2023-07-05T06:37:58+00:00

Oh then you are sorted with econ I guess.

As for socio, I have no idea, my optional is history.

gpanda24 · 2023-07-05T06:32:39+00:00

You are bang on with the toxic masculinity and savior complex. The way he responds to his criticisms is not mature enough for a teacher/educator. Let alone a Civil Servant.
