This brought back some old memories..
Have been to Kota (and IIT) and the guilt culture there for JEE Aspirants is super toxic & heavily encourages unhealthy food & sleeping habits in order to get a few extra marks in the next unit test
A short note on those days 👇
HOT TAKE: Don't encourage Indian students to surrender to SHITTY unhealthy habits.
I don't understand the nuance behind celebrating such type of behaviour.
Simply glorifying the toxic culture.
Students who appeared in JEE Advanced have not had enough? That they need another

Don't wanna sound disrespectful here really but I have never been prouder to be in India and build from Here
You can always nitpick a couple of laws and make your point, but in the broader picture, India is more lucrative & has a better social life
Each to their own i guess :)
The best thing that you can do for yourself and for your future generations is leave India.
Ideal time to do it is when you are young and unmarried. It gets harder with age.

One of the biggest lessons I have learnt while building an early stage tech startup
Tech never sells, a use-case built around it does and that's something only your potential customers can tell you.
So, before going all in for tech, the use-case must be figured out!

Ranting about parents has become so mainstream here & I absolutely hate this..
For someone who has sacrificed so much, the least you can do is try &understand them. They are also humans, and care much more about you than the random Twitter likes you are seeking validation from🤷🏻
If you are in India, disappoint parents early and be free.
Truth is, they want to be disappointed and play sympathy game in society. It's stupid mentality.
