Ace & Beyond

  From the title of this post, one may safely assume this to be about my love story or my one-sided love or whatever people wanna call it. But it isn't. The title is just there to generate a bit of curiosity and get a bit of engagement. Yeah, yeah, I'm hungry for the engagement and can't wait to become a social media influenza! 😜 Just kidding. CLICKBAIT!!! 😅😂 What is it about then? This is about the one question that I face the most. Do I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of things by doing a distance graduation and along with that doing a course which is better known for its 'single digit' passing percentage and for sucking out entertainment from the lives of students? There is no definite answer to this question according to me. At certain times, I feel YES is the answer and at other times NO. It sort of depends on the mood that I'm in. Like, if I'm content and happy with my learning and progress, I'd say NO. And, if I'm not happy with my l...

Not sure in what context my readers are going to take this, but I feel it is important to put it here. Just because I don't react or respond or reply to the people mocking me or making me angry doesn't mean that I won't keep the silence forever. And today was a prime example of that. One of my cousins has been constantly mocking me about me not going to offline classes, about having zero interaction and all. This has been going on for a long while now and I didn't respond to it all this while. But something clicked today. I confronted him and made him cry. How? I'll let my readers guess that. Over the last 10-11 years, I've worked on controlling my emotions, not letting them out in the public, trying to suppress it and at times simply ignoring those emotions. This has been possible largely due to the amount of cricket that I've played where been calm and composed is very important. My threshold of taunts, mockery and anger is quite high but after a certain p...

I know this is a bit off topic and something I shouldn't be stressing about at the moment. What am I talking about (better say thinking about)? The thing is I was just thinking about life lately. This is something I have ignored over the last 4-5 years to solely focus on my academics, but I feel it is the right time for me to think more about this and share a bit of what I feel here.  I overthink a lot and by a lot I mean really a lot. From the movement of things around me to expressions and various countless things. Perhaps there isn't a moment where I don't overthink. For me a 'Hey' and 'Heyy' are two very different things. So are 'ok' and 'okayy'. And why did I add this here? Only so that the person reading this (if any) doesn't think that I'm mentally unstable.  So, how has life been lately? Amazing in some senses and no so amazing in a few others. Good side first, I've been playing a lot of badminton and also keeping myself e...

I'm slowly but surely starting to feel the pressure now. I'm going to dedicate the entire day towards completing lectures of TLP and ECIPL today. My major focus for the earlier part of the day would be to complete yesterday's backlog and then start with fresh topics later. After a poor start yesterday, my aim today is to start getting into my zone today. My tasks will mostly surround around TLP and ECIPL today again.  Targets: Yesterday's Screen time Laptop: 6h 55m Mobile phone: 3h Total: 9h 55m Have a great day! ❤️

Hey, Good Morning! Today I restart my prep after a long break. I have decided to start off with a two Group 2 subjects namely ECIPL and TLP. My target today is to complete all 5 Lectures of 'Overview of Customs Act' from CA Vivek Gaba sir's YouTube Channel and complete 4 Lectures of 'Legal Metrology' from CS Duniya's YouTube Channel. Apart from the Lectures. I will try to complete reading the ICSI Material of both the Chapters to the maximum extent possible. Yesterday's screen time on Laptop: 6h 36m On Mobile Phone: 2h 45m Total:10h 21m So, let's start this journey! 😊 I will post today's progress at the end of the day. Good luck! ✌️ Update Well, it hasn't been a kinda day I'd have wanted to start things off with. I have found it a bit difficult to get into my schedule and do enough study. I feel I'm letting too many things distract me at the moment. I'm gonna not let that affect me though. I just completed 1 lecture each from TLP and...

After days of continuous calls and emails, my laptop has been fixed. Though, there are a few issues which will be solved within a few days all other problems have been solved and now I can start my prep again. 😮‍💨 In the meanwhile, ICSI released the results for Executive and Professional exams held in June 24. Congratulations to all the people who cleared the exams🎉. To all those people who couldn't clear it this next time, your time will come! All the best for the December attempt✌️. The results were great this time except for Group 1 of Executive (N/S). Hopefully, I too can clear it in the December attempt. 🤞 On the academic front, I haven't had much progress due to this laptop issue. Now, since this has been fixed, I expect to get going at a fast pace. Hopefully, I can complete all the remaining topics by mid-September and start revision post that especially with the writing part. ✍️ I'm going to start with CMSL and FM and get those subjects completed to at least 90%...

After spending more days without publishing a blog than publishing a blog, I'm back! Don't blame me for all this, just ask my laptop manufacturers why it took so long for them to get this device repaired. 😬 How am I? I'm doing great but really frustrated at the service provided by the manufacturer. My initial issue was only a dim screen but the technician who did the service has given me more headache than relief post the service. Tons of scratches, no screws on the back panel, no LED indicators for the caps lock and num lock, a couple of bumps and so many new problems. Also, they somehow managed to botch up my touchpad and now I'm waiting for it to be repaired. And now I don't have a true Windows 11 version because they thought it would be cool to ask me to get the Windows 11 installed from a local shop who of course didn't give me a genuine one. Now, I have a Activate Windows message on the screen and neither can I connect any Bluetooth device nor can customi...

After a couple of months of procrastination and delays, I've got some progress. Even though it's just a small step, it feels great to have some movement. 😁 Started with FM today. Completed a few pages from the Chapter Working Capital Management before I got disturbed by the unending calls from the laptop Co. I'd love to share my chapter division here but since I'm blogging with my phone these days, sharing tables and charts is difficult. I'll share the same once my laptop is repaired. I could use the PC but with I don't want to risk signing in from another device which could hamper my anonymous stay.😬 I've started completing tasks on other fronts too as I had shared earlier. Hopefully, I can maintain this till the end of the year. However, there seems to be a bit of rustiness which I'll need to wipe off.💪 And, I've still not recovered from Sat-Chi losing their QF match against Chi-Soh. I was expecting them to win especially after the first game bu...
