So recently I gave the CDS exam and just behind my bench,some girl was sitting and having the water bottle on her bench and while marking her OMR,she accidentally pushed her bottle and spilled the water on her OMR sheet.

Her whole Sheet was tarnished,All the ink made OMR incomprehensible, She was literally begging for Another OMR sheet to invigilators but all efforts went in vain,She started to weep and As an aspirant I felt very bad for her that a small accident ruined her attempt,She didn't even come back to appear in 2nd(GS) Paper.

So My advice to all aspirants would be to close the lid as hard as you can each and every time you sip the water and put the bottle on the floor besides your sitting bench.

So I was having a conversation with my Pregnant SIL about having kids and honestly Her reasoning behind having kids genuinely Disappointed me.

She's in her 30s and her entire argument for having kids was basically

who will take care of me when I'm old? That's it. That's the main reason. Not because she loves children or feels ready or anything like that. Just old age planning through a human being.

She also said having kids is what gives life meaning.

Then she said "if everyone starts thinking like you, humans will go extinct" and "what will society say if she won't kids" and Every Aunty Uncle Cousin Relatives will taunt her for not having kids and Might call her 'Banjh(Infertile in a demeaning way)'

there are conflicts spreading everywhere, communal hate is at an all time high in our country , corruption everywhere so prevalent and in our own country the amount of pressure and competition a kid has to go through just to have a decent life is insane.

I genuinely cannot justify bringing someone into all of this just so I don't feel lonely in old age or so the neighbours don't gossip.

I have nothing against people who want kids. Genuinely. But when your reason has nothing to do with the child and everything to do with what the child will do for you, that's where I get uncomfortable.

What do you guys think about Having Kids??
