Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! ❤️🎉 What for!? We just hit 1,000 views on this blog!!!! What a journey - from 0 to 1,000 in a span of 11 months. I wanna thank each and every person who has been a part of this space -  this would never have been possible without your contributions. It still feels like a dream to reach this milestone. I know 1,000 isn't a big number for a lot of people, but for me, it just feels surreal. As someone who started with no hope of generating any views, this is nothing short of magical. I now have another example to use for 'perseverance' and 'not giving up' topics.  I hope we hit the next 1,000 in much lesser time. With that being said, I'll take your leave. Bye!  👋

Hey! Thanks for stopping by. This post is regarding a few decisions that I've taken on the basis of the suggestions of my readers. These decisions have been taken as a measure to improve the overall quality of my blog. I hope these changes bring about a positive experience for my readers. The changes are as follows: 🛑 Discontinuation of Daily Targets I've decided to not continue with the publishing of posts indicating my daily targets with immediate effect. This is done in order to avoid redundancy as pointed out by one of my readers. However, the habit of posting daily targets will continue. Instead, I’ll be updating a single post daily — a mega-thread style compilation. This post can be accessed on the  My Grind Log page. Additionally, I've decided to add emojis as markers to indicate the completion of targets. I'll be starting with this practice from tomorrow i.e. 28th June 2025. 📩 Subscribe Button Added In a bid to retain and add followers, I've added a subsc...

Hey! Thanks for stopping by(again). Yesterday was great academically. I was able to complete most of my targets. I also made a slight tweak to my schedule. I was hoping to complete CMADD and CSR & SG by July end but I have decided to complete the latter by mid-July as the number of lectures are just 70. It feels pretty good to be back - and to hit the right notes almost instantly.  Today, the target is again heavily CS Professional based. I will switch the focus towards my B.Com exam from Sunday as my next one (Income Tax) is on Saturday i.e. 5th July. I'm hoping to capitalise on this momentum and continue my journey. 📅Date: 27th June 2025 (Friday) 🎯Targets: CSR & SG: Introduction to CSR - Complete 5 Lectures and read ICSI Module CRVI: IBC - Complete 3 Lectures and read IBC Core DPA: Unit 2 - Complete 3 Lectures Let's make the efforts the drops which shape the ocean. Wishing everyone a successful and positive day ahead. Thank You! Bye! 👋

Hello and welcome back! I've recovered from the illness which had sidelined me from my studies. It is a great feeling to be back - doing what I love, setting goals and ticking them off. The focus this week is on completing CS Professional lectures. I've not given myself any trial day. I will be resuming from where I left off with the same intensity as earlier. 📅Date: 26th June 2025 (Thursday) 🎯Targets: CRVI: IBC - Complete 3 Lectures and read IBC Core CMADD: Unit 1 - Complete 3 Lectures CSR & SG: Introduction - Complete 2 Lectures ESG: Chapter 16 - Complete 3 Lectures and read ICSI Module Hoping that it is a successful day for all my readers. Thank You. 👋

Hey! Welcome back to my blog. I'm recovering from my illness and should be back on my feet within a couple of days. In the meanwhile, I thought of addressing a question which has been irking me for some time now. Why am I doing this - writing blogs at a time when AI has taken over the writing space? In the era of multiple sources of income, why am I spending my time on something that is guaranteed not to return anything? My mission from the very beginning has been very straightforward - improve my language and expression of emotions and also carve out a niche for myself and create a space where I don't have to think much before writing. While things around me have changed, I have been committed to my goal and don't see myself giving up that easily. Over time, the methods, the expressions, the words - all have undergone drastic changes. Changes so stark that differentiating between two writings would be a stroll in the park. From writing simple, short sentences to writing co...

Hey! Welcome back to my blog. The weather has been gloomy and so is my health. I'm definitely feeling the aftereffects of getting myself drenched in the rain a week back - a slight fever but tons of body pain. Though mobility hasn't been affected, every step is unusually exhausting. I'm not sure how soon I'll recover but I'll be visiting a doctor today and should be able to get back on my feet within a couple of days.  My focus over the next few days will be on re-energising myself and then slowly shift towards CS Professional. In the meanwhile, I'm not sure about attending my B.Com exam of Costing scheduled for tomorrow but it is very likely that I won't appear for it. Hoping to recover quickly and get back on track. Wishing everyone better health and great days ahead. Bye!

Hey, welcome back! Great day yesterday. Always a nice feeling to get work done. It's the one thing that I enjoy the most. I still believe that there is room for improvement especially with regard to scrolling through reels. I did complete almost all the tasks I had assigned myself in the first half. But things went downhill in the second half of the day due to a bit of body pain. I couldn't clock any serious progress and had to take rest to recover. With today being International Yoga Day it felt like a timely reminder to get involved in some form of physical activity. Today, the focus shifts again from CS Professional to B.Com as my next exam is on Monday and it is Costing - a subject I'm fairly new to. Considering the turn of events yesterday, I've decided to not take any risks and allocate two entire days for the subject but I'll slot in CSR & SG just to get a feel for the subject. 📅 Date: 21st June 2025 (Saturday) 🎯Targets: BCOC138: Revise all Blocks and S...

Hey! Welcome back. Another bad day at the office but definitely some  bright sparks. It wasn't among the most productive of days academically but took few important steps in my personal life. I have been trying to quit a couple of things and I got the march towards success all planned out yesterday. I'll start work on that journey today - wasting no time. Today, the focus is again on CS Professional with a touch of the B.Com subjects.  Also, I'd like to thank all my readers for the comments on my previous blog. Those comments have skyrocketed my confidence and helped me trust my abilities. ❤️ 📅Date: 20th June 2025 (Friday) 🎯Targets for Today: ESG: Chapter 16 - Complete 4 Lectures DPA: Unit 2 - Revise earlier lessons and Complete 3 Lectures CSR & SG: Introduction - Complete 2 Lectures BCOC138: Revise all Blocks One step at a time, one win at a time — let’s make today matter. Wishing everyone a great day ahead. Bye! 👋

Hey! Today is Day 4 of my journey towards CS Professional December 2025. Yesterday was a very unproductive day - no study, no motivation to study. I'm hoping to find an extra kick to get through the gears and start being more consistent. The targets today have been set at the same level as yesterday to ensure there is no complacency in the way I see this journey. Date: 19th June 2025 Day: Thursday Targets: DPA - Unit 2 - Lectures 7, 8, 9 and 10 and Revision ESG - Chapter 16 - Lectures 1, 2, 3 and 4 CMADD - Unit 1 - Lectures 1 and 2 BCOC138 (Costing) - Block 1 Revision Time to get rolling and start achieving some real goals. Wishing everybody a great day ahead. Bye! 👋

Hey Folks! I'm pretty sure that the few readers I have will be surprised to see another post this quick especially after a few posts earlier this week. This post is about mindset - something central to my formula of success. The title does have a hyphen (-) between 'mind' and 'set' which sure must have intrigued the reader I believe. The hyphen separating the word 'mind-set' is there just to bring a tennis reference. The phrase 'set and match' is commonly used in racket sports and this is a tribute to my love for tennis. As someone whose formula for success has mindset as a key component, I feel I'm in the best possible situation to highlight its importance. I hear a lot of people talk about the importance of mindset and I agree with most of them.  Throughout my educational life, I've always had the mindset of 'I can do this, no pressure' and this has always worked for me. In all the exams I had taken - except my CS Executive exams -...

Hello Readers! Welcome back after a couple of days' break due to my ongoing B.Com exams. The first two exams went okay considering the amount of efforts that I put in and my priorities at the moment. I have a 5-day break before my next exam which is on 23rd June. I will be focusing mainly on my CS Professional subjects in this window and studying for my exams in the small gaps that I get. The focus clearly remains on completing CS studies currently. The exam next week is Costing about which I don't have much idea to be honest.  Date: 18th June 2025 Day: Wednesday Targets : Drafting, Pleadings and Appearances (DPA) - Unit 2 - Lectures 7, 8, 9 and 10 and Revision Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) - Chapter 16 - Lectures 1, 2, 3 and 4 Compliance Management, Audit and Due Diligence (CMADD) - Unit 1 - Lectures 1 and 2 BCOC138 (Costing) - Block 1 Revision I've mentioned the subject names entirely for clarity but I won't repeat this.  Wishing everyone a great day ahea...

Hello Readers! This post is about a topic suggested by one of my close friends and also among the few readers of this blog. She did give me more topics but this one caught my attention the most. Hey, if you're reading this, I'll be writing on those other topics as well soon. The topic was something like criteria for trusting a person. To be more specific, are there any specific criteria for trusting someone? Is it based on past experiences or relationships? As someone whose friend circle is limited to a handful of people, I feel I can do justice to this question. My opinion may be totally different from that of my readers and I totally accept your views as well. No judging, no shaming! Trust, loyalty and synonyms of these words are very subjective. It depends on the nature of the person as well. So, my view is in some sense different yet similar to that of others. I believe that trust is something that is not in our hands to be honest. I feel that one cannot generate trust in a...

Hey! Good Morning! After restarting yesterday, I've made some progress and pretty much seem to be getting into the groove. But I don't want to be too confident and lapse my progress. Today, the focus again is on the B.Com subjects as my exams start tomorrow. I will be shifting my focus back to CS Professional subjects from Tuesday (17th June) as the next B.Com exam is on 23rd after two consecutive ones on 16th and 17th.  Date: 15th June 2025 Day: Sunday Targets:  BCOC135 - Revise Blocks 1-4 BEGLA137 - Revise all Blocks and solve PYQs Hoping to keep the momentum and cruise towards my targets! 🤞 Bye!

Chokers to Champions: A Story of Resilience Hey! Like I stated yesterday, I'm currently not in the right frame of mind to be churning out blogs consistently at will. However, an event which occurred today has forced me to publish a post. South Africa winning the World Test Championship against Australia!  In what sense is this connected to me? I have always been a strong believer in hard work and trusting the process and fighting through the tough times. Luck is something I've started to believe in as well. But the focus has always been on working hard. This is the ideology I've followed throughout my  life and is something I intend to continue doing. Also, as someone who has been deeply involved in cricket, who has adored this game, loved this game and absolutely enjoyed watching the game, I have always taken pride in taking in the learnings the game throws at the viewers. I have also, taken immense inspiration from various figures from the game. Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Ko...

Hey! As I promised yesterday, I'm back here to share my progress and targets like I did for Dec 24 exams last year. Today, I won't be focusing on CS Professional subjects but purely on my B.Com subjects as my exams start on 16th June. The focus today will mainly be on two subjects namely BEGLA137 and BCOC135. Yeah, I know it is confusing to see codes like these. Basically, the subjects are English Literature (BEGLA137) and Company Law (BCOC135). I haven't touched a book of both these subjects, so I need to quickly revise and prepare myself for the exams. Date: 14th June 2025 Day: Saturday Targets:  BCOC135 - Revise all Blocks and Practice PYQs BEGLA137 - Revise all Blocks and Practice PYQs Let’s keep the momentum going. One page at a time, one win at a time. 🙌

Hey! Welcome back to my blog. I know it has been a long time since my last post and that most of my readers have forgotten about my blog. I'm really sorry for disappearing without any information. Why did I disappear? It wasn't planned, it was just that a lot of new things happened and I had to let it all soak in. I had lined up nearly 7 posts for publishing but didn't complete the final step because I felt all those posts were lacking something - something that sets my posts apart. This and the new experiences all at once made it difficult for me to hit the publish button. I knew I had to take a step back, assess my position, refine those posts and then publish it.  What were the 'new experiences'? As someone who has kept my cards close when it comes to sharing experiences, it is a bit difficult even now to open up on a platform where I have been writing for a year now. But I feel those experiences need to be shared. These mainly revolved around my trip to the Nort...
