Get your admit card. All the best for the exams.

I am drowning in anxiety and syllabus, god help me!

I am seeing an Admit Card option on RBI website for GRADE B exam. Please get that.

Can someone confirm whether it is out for DSIM and DEPR? Because on my end, on the same link when I am sharing my registration number and login, showing it is invalid. (FYI I only applied for DSIM)

Well, I have felt I am still not that comfortable sharing myself with someone new.

How to find out if the person I'm meeting is going to be compatible with me? Like I know exactly the kind of day to day life I like, the things I value, the emotions I feel. I do not think I am that different.

But when meeting someone, it feels like they have put on some persona or something. I want some help on building basic connections and figuring out how to determine and which questions to ask so I understand the person better?

I want to filter out the noise and find real signals and meet and be with a person of substance. So growing together, and building a life becomes meaningful.

What questions to ask?

I am constantly noticing people talking without listening.

Andhbhakt = The inability to listen. When listening to something different, from someone else's point of view, impulsively stop thinking that they can be correct from their point of view. And the ability to do critical thinking is getting lost due to these reasons.

I am seeing some subreddit posts are so weird. A youth movement party, had decided on some spokesperson. Just try to listen to what they have to say.

The immaturity and audacity to not understand but still shouting is the core problem of most of India's population. Be better, get better. I don't care, we all are going to die someday. Just remember you cannot trust anything or anyone but Lord Krishna (or whoever there is in your religion). Everything else, is maya. So be open to possibilities.

I feel like it is a weakness that binds me to smoking. I keep trying to find spirituality, keep trying to tell myself I will do it, but suddenly I am smoking from a pack.

I don't like the weak side of me. How do I overcome? I was talking to my friend about quitting, and he said you always say you're gonna quit with a cigarette in your hand. I felt so weak. How do you guys actually do it?

I often spend so much time looking at trivial things trying to find meaning, like why is this relevant, what is the meaning behind this? Even after completing my Master's when relearning for an exam I felt a lot of older concepts were clicking.

I'll share some of mine-

1. The Dirichlet function never made that much sense. Then I spent some time and realized, just like Beta is prior for Binomial, and very easy to account for new trials through Beta Prior to get Posterior, the Dirichlet just does that for Multinomial. Just like Beta can take any random shape on [0,1], Dirichlet function can take any shape of (n-1) simplex!

2. Cauchy distribution and why is it there until I realized it is how two different directional distributed Normals and tangent of ratios. Just like tangent goes to -inf to +inf, we see that in Cauchy as well, and get absurdly high values for that reason. Why it is relevant, how ratio of Normals come into actual real life examples, I still am trying to figure that out.

3. Characteristics Functions exist for all of the distributions (with valid moments), and it just breaks down the moments into sin cos oscillatory waves!

Share some more with me, and let's collectively think about these
