1 the kite runner ( my friend has taken to read its not with me even though I bought it with my own money)
2 the power of your subconscious mind
3 Your dreams are mine now
4 animal farm

I’ve read upto 26 books mostly by pdfs I’ve downloaded over ipad i want their hard copy but they’re too expensive

I’m preparing seriously for UPPCS (both Prelims and Mains) and looking for good YouTube channels that actually add value, not just surface-level content.
I need help with:
GS (concept clarity + answer writing)
Current affairs (especially relevant for UPPCS)
UP-specific content (history, economy, schemes, etc.)
Would really appreciate suggestions from people who have prepared or cleared UPPCS/UPSC.
Please mention channels that helped you personally or are genuinely worth following. Trying to avoid wasting time on random content.

Please feel free to share your experiences if you’re using noise earbuds
I want better anc and it should be good for music and call purpose and have single connectivity

I’m trying really hard to chase my goals but I’m finding it difficult to even sit for an hour … I’m afraid I’ll end up as loser I’m losing hopes I’ll be burden on my parents

Just let me know! I’m also preparing for UPPCS and sometimes get stuck on certain topics. It would be great to connect with fellow aspirants to share resources, discuss strategies, and stay motivated.
Any group on discord or telegram???

Hey everyone! I'm currently preparing for UPPCS and looking for a study partner who's either given serious attempts or has cleared the exam.

I'm not looking for someone to just motivate each other — I genuinely want to connect with someone who has real experience with the exam, can share insights on preparation strategy, recommend resources, and help navigate the syllabus better.

We can:

• Share PDFs and study material

• Discuss topic-wise strategies

• Keep each other accountable

• Exchange notes and important resources

If you've attempted UPPCS seriously (any stage — Prelims/Mains) and are open to preparing together or just guiding a fellow aspirant, I'd really love to connect!

Feel free to DM me or drop a comment below 🙂

Better if it’s CGHS empaneled

I’ve been dealing with ongoing health issues since around 2017, and over time it has only gotten worse.

In the beginning, I used to panic a lot because of the breathing problems. It felt scary and overwhelming. Over the years, I kind of got used to it mentally, but physically it hasn’t improved—in fact, it has gotten worse, especially since February 2026.

Now it feels like this is happening 24/7. I don’t get relief even when I’m resting or trying to sleep. There’s this constant discomfort in my chest/ribs, and it feels like I can’t take a full, satisfying breath, like my lungs don’t have enough space.

Because of this:

- I can’t do physical activities like dancing or even normal movement without pain

- I feel exhausted all the time

- Nothing really feels enjoyable anymore because my body is constantly uncomfortable

It’s not just anxiety—I’ve had multiple tests (MRI, CT, etc.) that came back normal, but the symptoms are still very real and affecting my daily life.

Has anyone experienced something similar where:

- breathing feels restricted all the time

- rib/chest pain worsens with movement

- symptoms persist even with normal test results

If yes, what did it turn out to be, and what helped you manage it?

I’m also seeing a doctor, but I wanted to hear real experiences from others who’ve gone through something like this.

I honestly never thought my life would turn out like this.

Back in 2017, things started changing for me and I didn’t even understand what was happening at the time. It wasn’t one big breakdown or anything dramatic, just a slow shift where everything started getting harder. Mentally, physically, just existing normally became difficult.

Over the years, it’s affected my studies a lot. I try to focus, I try to be consistent, but it feels like my brain just refuses to cooperate. I’ll sit down to study and either overthink everything or just feel this weird exhaustion for no clear reason.

My routine is completely messed up. I wake up late, already feeling tired, even if I’ve done nothing. The whole day just feels heavy. I keep telling myself I’ll fix it, I’ll get disciplined, I’ll get my life together, but it never sticks for long.

From the outside, it probably looks like I’m just lazy or not serious about my life. That’s the worst part. People don’t see how much effort it actually takes for me to do basic things sometimes.

There are moments where I feel okay, like maybe I’m getting better, but it doesn’t last. I fall back into the same cycle and it’s honestly frustrating.

I didn’t choose this, and I didn’t expect my life to go in this direction. I just feel stuck between wanting to do better and not being able to function the way I want to.

I’m still trying, even if it doesn’t look like much.

I’ve been dealing with constant pain for almost 10 years now, and I still don’t have a proper diagnosis.

The pain is there pretty much 24/7. Some days are worse, like today—I woke up already hurting—but I still had to get up and do household chores because my mom wasn’t feeling well.

The bigger issue is that my family doesn’t take it seriously anymore. Since it’s been going on for so long without a diagnosis, they think it’s “in my head.” If I talk about it, I’m told I’m exaggerating or making excuses to avoid work.

Because of that, I’ve kind of stopped speaking up, but the pain hasn’t gone anywhere.

It’s affecting everything—my energy, studies, mood, and overall life. I haven’t been able to perform at my best for years, and it’s frustrating not knowing what’s actually wrong.
