I'm from a region in India where rice is barely consumed. I too hardly ate rice growing up and eat around 8-10 rotis everyday

Are there any nutritional benefits I'm losing out on by not eating rice

Rice is hardly consumed in rural West UP. Even in urban cities it's an add on and never the main thing. Rice isn't even grown in this region

Likewise non vegetarian food too(barring Muslims) is barely consumed in rural West UP and largely(if at all) an urban thing. East UP has a far higher consumption of non vegetarian food

I saw a comment here saying that NW UP people are more adamant in their demand for WEST UP statehood than Braj guys which might be true but there's a reason

As a person living in Agra I would definitely feel more closer to someone from Morena(north MP) Dhaulpur(east Rajasthan) and Palwal(South Haryana).Even community wise if you see Jats have highest concentration in absolute numbers and percentage wise compared to Kuru also the gotra of Jats(only taking as examples) are common in this region and these gotras are absent in Kuru for example Fauzdar sinsinwar chahar sorout etc. Palwal and Mathura are full of sorouts. Hence we braj people relate with people from these regions than KURU

For PYQs I'm solving those from TB but I want another source where I get to solve decent number of questions of every topic.

Sab pyq ki book bata rahe h but pyq ka alava I want a source. Examveda bataya tha kisi ne yaha but uske questions acche nahi lage zyada. Usi ke jesa koi aur source anyone uses?

I know the competition here is immense but I'm just asking in terms of preparation difficulty standard of questions Anyone who's taken both exams any advice would be appreciated

Without any prep for CGL I took 5-6 2025 question papers with sectional timings I got scores in the range of 130-150

I would put Khadi Boli and Deshwali(and even language of areas in North Haryana) in one basket rest of Western Hindi(Braj Gujjari Ahirwati Mewati Bundeli) in another. Obviously there are differences between each if those languages as welll but there's one BIG difference that forms the basis of this post-

The use of the letter O(ओ).All languages in the second category have the use of O. Hence they are also called "okrant' languages.Two sentences

" Are ka kar raho h"

" Kahan ja raho"

" Tujhe pato h?"

These sentences are staple in Brij Gujjari(Palwal Faridabad areas of Bulandshahr and Noida) Ahirwati(south Haryana and parts of Rajasthan) and Mewati.These three sentences sounds familiar to all the speakers of almost all languages of Western Hindi barring Kauravi and Deshwali.Kauravi and Deshwali are aakrant languages and don't have the use of O.Even Marwari Dhundari and rest of Rajasthan are okrant languages.

By braj region I mean Agra Mathura Aligarh Hathras and even Bharatpur Dholpur

By Kauravi I mean Meerut Baghpat muzaffarnagar shamli etc

Firstly these are the districts/cities of Braj

Rajasthan-Bharatpur Dholpur Karauli Deeg

Haryana-Hodal Palwal

UP-Aligarh Agra Mathura Hathras parts of Noida district and parts of Bulandshahr district

MP-Bhind and Murena

People of Bhind and Morena image is very bad in rest of MP., likewise people of Bharatpur Dholpur Karauli are seen as bad people in rest of Rajasthan. Hodal and Palwal aren't even considered proper Haryana by Haryanvis and Braj region of UP is seen as too rustic by rest of UP and even by Kauravis(Meerut Baghpat etc)

I'm from Agra and I've heard this from people

Title

I'm a 27M state government employee earning close to 62k a month in a tier 2/3 city in Western UP(I worked on corporate too for 15 months before getting into this job). My monthly expenses are around 22-24k including rent+food+other expenses.

In twenties ofcourse you see people splurging and while there's absolutely nothing wrong with it but if you're in your twenties and you avoid the whole 'corporate employee tier 1 city nexus'(as I'd like to call it) life infact is very peaceful atleast.There are a lot of big negatives with government jobs too though

My friends are in corporate graduating from IIMs etc and I know a lot of them even writing government exams(Grade A ones obviously) to avoid the whole trap. They say that these corporate jobs are good till 30/32 but post that you need peace in life which is absent in big cities and all corporate jobs are in big cities.Like I see them almost never getting leaves easily while my friend who's in CBI gets 30 days paid leave a month easily.There is less peer pressure in government jobs as well to keep upgrading lifestyle

Someone said this I found it very true "You will never feel you are overpaid I'm corporate jobs"

The premise is that if a man isn't with someone he is free to take risks as far as his career is concerned.Marriage pushes a man into conventional careers

Two examples id like to share-Im in a government job and I got it relatively late(after I turned 26).I have a lot of friends who got into respective government jobs in late twenties and even in early thirties and before that they were taking tuitions or working as content creators in coachings. Mind you this includes people who graduated from extremely great institutions like IITs and top B Schools and rejected job offers after college to prepare for exams like UPSC. I personally know someone who was a gold medalist at IIT K got placed at Cisco for 28 ctc when whe was 22 rejected that offer prepared full time for 5 years for UPSC and became IAS at 27/28 after getting an under 50 rank. Another friend of mine recently graduated from FMS rejected a job offer that would have paid him around 1.4 lakh a month in-hand to prepare for UPSC

I'm not saying those are 'correct' decisions and everyone is doing that, that's not my point. I also know that one can take these risks also when their parents are self sufficient. But(correct me if I'm wrong) these decisions(and similar decisions like these) also depend on whether or not you intend to marry early or are with someone(partner).

A single guy who say is 26 and is working a job he doesn't like and has a house in his hometown can still leave the job for even an year plus go back to his hometown live with his parents and figure things out. Personally I also know someone who left his ICICI job at the age of 28 then prepared for UPSC and became an IAS at the age of 31(Aditya Pandey is his name). There's ABSOLUTELY NO WAY he could have taken this risk if he was married. Companionship does take away the freedom to earn less because as a single man you can literally shift back to live with your parents and keep your expenses under 10k.Apologies if the post isn't coherent but I hope you get the point
