Can u suggest me which is the best protein powder brand ( isolate ) affordable at 1.5 k - 2k ( 1 kg is fine )

There is no good whey isolate under Rs 2300
This is genuine and affordable of them all but you would need a container for this one or always ensure you close the pack properly.

Just for reference, this protein’s review. I mostly buy things they pass.

If you want I can suggest normal whey protein concentrate

I admit , today was not a good day. I screwed up . Dont know I lost that flow and drive I had earlier. I am quite scared of not being scared of exam incoming. Reminds me of screwed up days of PMO .

Have to come back on track.

Our lives are going parallel, I have exam and I gotta score good, that stress is making me lazy. Lets try again from tomorrow. I did not study today either.

Man, why in the most crucian times we fuck up. Gotta be our tiny brain saying better give in to the excuse of ā€œI did not work hard enoughā€ than to work hard and see our true potential. We fear if we work hard and don’t achieve what we want, that would hurt more than not working in the first place.

I challenge you for 10 hours of study tomorrow, accept it.

For me , I dont see hope in fighting . I’ll tell you the life of a postgrad from my pov

The life of a postgraduate student is a continuous juggling act, where every week brings a new storm of deadlines, projects, and seminars. No matter how hard you try, the weight of assignments becomes impossible to carry on time, but you push through because losing marks for late submission is better than a zero.

You cut out distractions like YouTube, trying to maintain focus. But soon, another hurdle emerges—people. Toxic individuals. You block them out for your mental peace, but the isolation makes the pressure heavier. You stare at an assignment that seems unsolvable, hoping for a miracle, but it never comes. You neglect your health because who has time for exercise? The least you can do is avoid junk food so that the stress doesn’t pile onto your waistline.

The professors? They don’t notice your efforts. They don’t even acknowledge your existence. They call out other names but skip yours as if you’re invisible. Yet, you grind through this only to be pulled into the abyss of endless assignments again.

The thought of escaping reality tempts you. You take a break, but it backfires. Days pass in front of YouTube, eating garbage food, spiraling further down. You hate it, yet it happens again.

After a couple of days, you resolve to pick yourself up, get back on track, and restore order. You’ve learned some mental strategies to avoid messing up, but the cycle repeats, each time with new challenges. And so, the life of a postgraduate student moves on—a battle, a grind, but you survive it.

If you insist , How can I deny that ? I’ll give my best shot.

Alright than, Minimum 10 hours

Bro the above paragraph felt like I was watching spartan. Damn, but do realise your main focus is earning money, does not matter they gave you any attention or not. Job is ultimate, not some peers recognition , at least for a college grad.

Personally I dont get any pressure from peers wrt job. In fact they dont give an f about me. But my parents want to get me to a Govt job . Their relatives are well settled people with Govt jobs . So they insist me to write many random exams like ssc , ibps , upsc etc etc which I think as a waste of time considering I have gave zero prepration to those.

Btw how are u these days ?

If you think you can pass them this year, that’s the best transition. Ezzz life, money and wife.

Ah, I have an entrance soon. I need to prepare for that.

Tbh these days I feel like, I should not give a fuck. I will get a job, I will earn, I will have the skills that I ought to have.
Even when I give 100 percent, I am most likely gonna get an average job in my domain at start. So, I am just gonna give my best but won’t take stress.

My dad says ā€œEven if you eat 2 times a day that is enough but if it sucks the life out of you, it’s not worth it the 3rd mealā€ by this he meant don’t run for a life of absolute luxury, if you are happy when in living average and it doesn’t cost you anything else, it’s enough.

Even we are decently livin’ happily but those words are so wise. Like nobody would say when they die, oh I wish I applied to Nvidia, they would likely say I wish I spent more time living life and enjoying and embracing it.

Wow my parents are opposite . Both my dad and mom want to succeed to great height but it feels sad that what they are saying dont reflect on their action.

My dad has already given hopes for life. He is spending entire day scrolling random things on Insta , watching random movies etc. My mom is a very hardworking women , but she always falls to her emotions ( I am afraid I got that thing from mom ) , she is somewhat close minded , not ready to see opportunies outside Govt job.

I dont blame them fully. Its kind of like a nightmare for me whether I’ll become like them soon.

Do you plan for Govt jobs and all ?

Not their fault, the age in which our parents are, the fear of hurting their body and getting sick is more than ever. I would rather ask them to sit and be at peace then let them work. Besides, it’s our age to work now man, I swear it feels like a burden but it is. They will be happy even if we earn the average, does not mean you need to earn in lakhs in start. :slightly_smiling_face:

I am into them, might try UPSC after I earn enough and come back to India.

The only reason I am going to abroad is for financial stability, I wanna earn.

I can give it now too, but I don’t want to limit my experience to government job only.

If I be honest, you can easily get goverment job by paying some lakhs. It’s not even a big deal in India.

U can get the seat, the paper and can get ROI through bribes and helping forge documents

This makes me so sad :sob: Why aren’t other people payed the same way. Whole life people tell us to study, get good grades, then in the some end side ka chaiwala (Dolly Chaiwala) earns lakhs WTF

Influencers, jobs of entertainment and leisure are now the new trend.

Sometimes I feel like give all this shit up and start a YouTube channel. :slightly_smiling_face:

Its fine if they are happy. But they are not. They keep like a zombie face while doing this. They are quite afraid to do something new.

Then I think I’ll go on with this path lol. Why toiling as a post grad if I can get a job fast .

I remember I told my mom of starting a YT channel and we had a very bad argument there. She never spoke to me for hours after that.

Not lying, you would get if you pay the right people. You can transition from private job to goverment by paying, it’s that easy now a days. The system is shit, even paper leaks are so easy. Everything is capitalised. U have money? U own the system then.

Something must have happened that took their zeal. :slightly_smiling_face:

I face the same zombie issue, I know it’s literally when you give up on life u act like that. You just feel like life will pass like this only, there is nothing to do about it.

But at least I am young, they are not. You are the only hope for them

The only thing that’s stopping me from doing that is the hope I can earn from Good means. :skull:

I hate it in India. There is no living only survival. Born be a corporate warrior, forced to be slave. :smiling_face_with_tear:

Nope. Internal exams. Sem exams are rougly november I guess

I too had this thought process earlier. But now its no more. People only care about success. Once you become successful , everything you do looks cool.

Andrew tate smoking cigars looks cool but for other its not because he is successful ( at a financial level ).

I prefer not to talk too much otherwise I will pour some villian philosophies here :joy:
