again another day passes where i had been doing what i like best but is detremental to my preparation, but its a hard choice to make..this trade off is very difficult for me, its 6:43 am been playin almost for 3 hrs now.
some1 in the forum said 75 days, let me say that to myself that lets do this shit, 75 days of pure intellectual stimulation worth everyday every minute..probably after a intense brain work out due to counter-strike 1.6 there is very little that you can concentrate on and so is my situation now...just to me remind myself again...the things that require some critical attention.
1.IYB
2.geo
3.Sc , env, sc and tech.
4.Eco
5.Polity
1.Owc,previous yrs,macro
2.socio notes (mostly reading)
3.bipan notes
1.p2
out of all, geo is untouched , needs much more attention along with eco and IYB.
.Balance of studies is a very hard thing to do....and more so if u do it at night, so now onwards my strategy would be day time maximum utilization. and np and fancy stuff in the night.

Just thoughts
it seems very odd and an eerie feeling of where we as human civilization are heading to.This opening statement might piss off 90% percent of the people that they just might ignore what all is happening all around and even if its happening they turn a blind eye to it and led themselves to believe that all is well and that life is going on as well is its supposed to.
Let me get to down to some specifics, Inequality , rise of politi-corporates nexus happily aided by the bureaucrats.What worries me the worst is the fact that technology and intellect can be misused and has been misused by people with money and power and very readily allowed by the people who control them. Right from the economic crisis 2008 where the economics disipline was at fault to a greater extend to have sung the tune of the corporates regarding the economies of the world doing well untill to such an extend that it was way beyond the control of anyone to stop this avalanche of destruction taking away savings, jobs of millions around the world.
Or to the discipline of biology (biotechnolgy and oncology to be precise) where any discovery at the labs serve as a means of money making proposition with scant regards to excellence or outcome which might have lead to, if it had been purely on an academic endeavour .Any new discovery is immediately linked to its monetary value to such an extend that the new compound, genome sequence, chemical etc etc would not be shared with other experts so that others don't monetize their discovery and inturn loosing out of an amazing oppurtunity to coordinate collaborate to find and discover more with the help of each other's expertise.This trend is begining to be questioned and harvard medical is at forefront of this opensource medical science,my best wishes with them
check this link :http://www.ted.com/talks/jay_bradner_open_source_cancer_research.html
Or to the exploitation of mother earth of its natural resources by few giant corporation , who have scant regards for anything except for a term of economics called "profit maximization" .For it they are willing to stoop to such levels that i wonder when such ghastly decisions are taken by the boardrooms of such corporations, what justification satisfies even the saniest of the persons in it.The permission are of course given by the govt. concerned whose intentions i would be dealing in a bit , but there must be many a person who has not lost its head and the word empathy still lingers around their thought process.If such persons do exist in such boardrooms ( i would like to believe that they do) who knows along with others the full implications of such decisions, how are such voices being muted to pass a resolution that literally intends to destroy the whole of earth bit by bit, make the people living around (mostly tribal, indigenous peoples whose voices are seldom powerful to be heard and who don't fully realise the implication of such a destruction untill its too late) .Funnily till now also i.e 2012 there is propaganda being spread in parts of US that global warming is the greatest hoax being spread by mankind.I have to smile at the innocence at the attempt of doing so, infact a recent senetor has publised a book in the similar lines.I know, I know its hard to believe as i am a no one as of now, so this link might clear up the doubt.

Finally there is of course the highly talked about middle class ( i call them the DKDC people=don't know don't care people).In the country i live ,India ,there is this great talk about the great Indian middle class and its subsequent rise mainly since the LPG (liberelization, privatisation,globalisation) of 1991 done as if solely by the present PM (As if , others were having a nap and suddenly out of nowhere this great idea descended upon our beloved economist's head and eureka moment stuck at the dark nightly hour of our crumbling country at a precise fictitious date leading us to where we are today and thus saving our huge country from going default).If u look at carefully at the history of India since Independence and subsequently follow the economy of India along with it,the inevitable conclusion you would find is that LPG'91 was a natural outcome of the mismanagement our economic policies (mostly the later stages) and also a few international factors like the wars being fought in middle east increasing the oil prices and also the global inflation along with it.What manmohan did was simply went begging for money to the World band and IMF and inturn this ruthless and western countries controlled institutions imposed conditions (which has always been the story of these institutions w.r.t many of the poor and developing countries, thereby making their economy dependent on them )which paved the way for ensuing relaxing of the License Raj Inspector system having many more effects(both good and bad) , the dicussion of which is another big story (Would follow it up some other time where i would try to argue about how it changed the economics of majority of Indians to a worser situation).But the fact remains the present facebook hungry, multiplex going junta of my country atlist is unaware of many of the past of India (recent past also ) and happily going on munching their burgers and maggi (i not saying they shouldn't, but atlist try to know how has India been to the present situation and whats its journey been like).Many of us dont't know about the vineet narain case, of the GM crops battle and also the farmers suicides related to it and also that its still on going, subversion of judiciary and law and order have been the benefit of the previleged, how hegemony of the powerful countries play a crucial role in formulating policies of our country there by putting a question mark on the very word of REPUBLIC ,this list is goes very long but the fact is that i have managed to marvel at how the different central and state govt. are very particular about hiding such incidents from the main stream media (not from the main stream media to be precise, but with the help of many of the media persons itself ).Media, what can i say ,that is another great Indian story (Remember the radia tapes), i gotta devote some time to these great friends to Indian democracy sometime later,projecting itself as upholders of the fourth pillar of democracy and succeding very little (Many of them are also doing a great job but that many falls in a minority if we try out a survey and compare out the ratio, which is impossible as anyone might have guessed but nonetheless ).
Just to make things clear ,i was also one of the DKDC ones but now have tried to educate (another great sham in this country of billion) myself up to many a such issues which was very alien to me untill a year ago.So i do not blame the common man for their ignorance and their lack of appreciation of many of the right things going on presently, but the fact remains as said by one of the greatest progagandist of all times "hitler" in his "War Propaganda", in volume 1, chapter 6 of Mein Kampf (1925), given misattribution to Joseph Goebbels (another great progagandist who said - If you tell a big lie enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. )
hitler said "But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success. ".cYAoo

a start
i just wanted to create a blog to let my brain steam off a little bit, because the situation that i am currently in demands so.
also i need to keep a track of my preparation level so that it stays on course with my goal that i have managed to set my self with.
i hope to daily contribute some meaningful thoughts into it benifiting me as well as some virtual wandering soul.
as for today, i am planning to sleep early and intend to continue this habbit for some time to come and hope this blog gives me the required( much needed also ) energy and enthusiam to maintain this streak of mine though not wild.
i being a non believer of religion was looking for a source of inspiration or something to fall onto whenever we need some kind of mental support or a source to strength for my inner soul ( if at all this exist scientifically) or the scientifically correct term-my thought process. And so i thought in this human histroy there has been many a mortal who have done such amazing things and fought such adversaries that even an immortal would have proud of (yes ..its sarcastically), so from each such individuals who have achieved something great despite all the hardships and related, i think persons like us should take some take some inspiration or can ask for good wishes from this INDOMINABLE HUMAN SPIRIT.This thought came to my mind while going out for a brisk evening today around the round at the egde of the township that i live in.
so JAI HO HUMAN SPIRIT JAI HO...
