30 Days Raw

  30 Days. 30 Blogs. No Excuses. Hey there, This one’s not gonna be a life lesson, an epic plot twist, or some deep philosophical breakdown. It’s just… a conversation. A little heart-to-heart. Exactly 30 days ago, I started something—something small, something random, something impulsive. A personal challenge: write and post a blog every single day for 30 days straight. And I did it. No skips. No excuses. No matter what kind of day it was, the blog went up. Some days, I wrote way in advance and felt like an overachiever. Other days, I was racing the clock—literally posting 3 minutes before midnight, praying my Wi-Fi wouldn’t betray me. There were blogs I was proud of, blogs that felt too raw, too rushed, too honest. But not once did I default. What This Challenge Gave Me (Besides Sleepless Nights) Let me be honest—I’ve never been this consistent in anything. Not even in JEE prep (which, trust me, I wish I was). But this blog taught me something important: showing up...

If Motivation Was a Drug, I’d Be High Every Day You know that rush? That intense 3-minute window when you suddenly feel like you'll conquer the entire world ? Yeah, I live for that. That’s the moment I open my books like a hero in a sports anime. Cue dramatic music. Let’s go, let’s destroy this syllabus. But guess what actually happens? I somehow end up scrolling. And scrolling. And scrolling. Then I look at the clock — it’s 47 minutes later, my brain is cooked, and now I need 30 more minutes to “cool down.” Nice. Welcome to the doom scrolling loop , population: me. Doom Scroll. Regret. Repeat. It’s honestly wild. I know I have things to do. So. Many. Things. But the moment there’s a pause, I don’t sit with my thoughts or breathe or reset. Nope. I pick up my phone and start feeding the addiction. One reel. Then another. Then “just one more.” And suddenly I’ve watched the same template edit 19 times. And still… I scroll. Then later I wonder, “How is my screen time 8 hours a d...

  My MUN Experience: From Breakdown to Honourable Mention 🏆 Let’s talk about something that isn’t JEE for a second. Yes, I’m a so-called JEE aspirant, but there’s one thing that still gives me an adrenaline rush like no mock test ever did: Model United Nations . (MUNs, baby. The closest we get to playing politics without getting cancelled.) Why I Love MUNs If you know, you know. MUNs are more than just fake diplomacy and formal suits. They’re chaos, fire debates, spontaneous speeches, and last-minute crisis updates. And the best part? They help you grow in every way possible: Public speaking 📢 Negotiation skills 🤝 Geopolitical knowledge 🌍 Networking 🤜🤛 And confidence? 10x boost. I’ve only done two so far (thanks to JEE handcuffing my weekends), but each one’s been mad impactful . So here’s the story of one MUN that started with a crash and ended with a crown. Day 1 – The Fall 💥 This was at a MUN hosted by my old school. They’re known for hos...

  📱 Scrolling Is the New Smoking And I’m the chain smoker Ever noticed how your thumb just magically ends up on Instagram, YouTube Shorts, or reels… even when you didn’t plan to? Yeah, me too. Every. Single. Day. Let’s be real for a second — I don’t smoke. Never even tried it. But if doom scrolling was a cigarette, bro… I’d be lighting up every 5 minutes. That screen glow? It’s my lighter. That endless feed? My pack of smokes. Scrolling is the new smoking , and we’re all addicted — whether we admit it or not. 🚬 The Modern-Day Cigarette = Your Phone Old days: People smoked when bored, stressed, waiting for someone, or just out of habit. Today? We scroll for all the same reasons. Bored? Open Insta. Stressed? Scroll reels. Waiting for someone? YouTube Shorts. Just chilling? Reels time. -  part 2 It’s the same pattern. It gives temporary relief. But here's the catch — just like smoking, you don’t even realize how much it's messing with you until it’...

  The Dictator's Switch Let’s dive into this story where a simple walk turned into a dark spiral of power, loss, and realization. 🎮 A Button That Promised Peace? It was just another random day. I was walking down a narrow street near my coaching when I stumbled upon a new game shop. Never seen it before. The vibes were kinda off, but curiosity got the best of me. Wandering inside, I scanned the shelves until something weird caught my eye — a small box with just one red button and a label that said: “A Clicky Button That Can Disappear Sadness and Annoyingness from Your Life” I laughed. Probably one of those stress-buster clickers, I thought. Bought it for fun and headed back home, not realizing what I had just brought with me. 📝 The Warning I Almost Ignored Back home, I tore open the box. Just the button and a piece of paper. I usually toss such papers away but… something felt off . Like I was being forced to read it. In bold letters, it said: “Want to disappear...

  Why Time Feels So Fast After 10th Grade Ever felt like someone hit the fast-forward button on your life right after 10th? Because SAME. Time used to crawl back then. Every single day in 10th felt long, eventful, and so... full. But now? I blink, and it’s Sunday again. I blink again, and boom — half of 12th is done. Bro, how ? 🎢 Life Before vs After 10th Grade Let’s rewind for a sec. Back in 10th, life felt like a complete package: Wake up School drama Backbencher fun Tuitions in the evening Post-tuition chill sessions Late-night overthinking Even with the stress of boards, I lived every day. I actually remember days from that year — the vibes, the memories, even random convos. Now? I don’t even remember last week. I wake up, go to coaching, come back, eat, study, sleep — repeat. The same thing every day. No sudden school announcements, no tiffin-sharing chaos, no PE periods turned into football wars. Just... routine. 🧠 Why Time Feels Faster No...

Why Starting Feels Like a Boss Battle (But Feels So Damn Good After)  Ever just stared at your books or work and felt like your brain was physically rejecting the idea of starting? Like... your body's ready, your mind's screaming "NAH." Yeah. Been there. Still there. Every day. Here’s what’s weird — the hardest part about doing anything productive is literally the first step . Studying, writing, working out, cleaning your room — the pattern’s always the same.

  📱 My Screentime Report – The Brutal Truth I Keep Ignoring Every Sunday, like clockwork, I get that one notification I dread the most — the “Your screen time this week was…” report. And every single time — without fail — I get hit with numbers like 5 hours , 6 hours , sometimes even 7 hours a day . Per day. That’s basically a full-time job… but instead of getting paid, I lose brain cells. At this point, I’ve accepted I’m in an endless loop: I see the screen time report → I panic → I swear I’ll change → I start scrolling again Certified cycle. Someone break it. But lately, I’ve been wondering — where is all this time even going? Because it’s not like I’m building a startup or editing Oscar-winning films on my phone. I’m just… vibing. Wasting. Doom scrolling. So I decided to check which apps are the actual culprits. 📊 App Breakdown – Where My Time Really Goes 🥇 #1 – YouTube This one's an undisputed champion. Especially because of Shorts and binge-watching random v...

  Bro, VR is Crazy — Experiencing the Unreal Made Real Bro, have you ever stopped to think about how wild Virtual Reality (VR) actually is? Like, you’re literally experiencing something that isn’t really there . Yet, your brain says, “Yeah, this is real,”. Mind = blown. 🤯 With how fast technology is advancing, I swear the day when we can just teleport somewhere — like, actually swoosh here swoosh there  — isn’t far off. (Side note: I might just invent that one day) VR: The Ultimate Escape and Experience Imagine this: You put on your VR headset and boom — you’re in Paris. You can see the Eiffel Tower, hear the street musicians, and even smell the fresh croissants (okay, maybe not the smell yet , but give it time). It’s like traveling without the plane tickets, luggage, or jet lag. But wait, it gets crazier. Enter Augmented Reality (AR): The Next-Level Experience VR is cool, but AR? That’s the upgraded boss level. Augmented Reality lets you see and interact with digita...

  5 Creators That Make My Scrolling Worthwhile Hey there, I’m Varad, a so-called JEE aspirant. My day is pretty much the same — wake up, go to class, and then come home absolutely drained.

  How I Waste My Time (And Still Cry About Having None) You must have read those productivity tips online — “Wake up at 5AM,” “Use the Pomodoro method,” “Time block your day.” But we? We’re built different. Here’s how I actually waste my time… and then complain that I don’t have any left. The Cycle of Self-Sabotage I come home after coaching — exhausted, eyes red, brain fried. I know I should sleep. But no. There are “important” tasks pending: like scrolling Instagram so that i dont have to deal with FOMO While scrolling, I suddenly feel… energized . Dopamine hitting like I had a Red Bull. But the second I keep my phone down, I start yawning like hell. And by then, I’ve already wasted an hour (or more). Now I have to sit to study. But my attention span? It’s gone. I read the same page thrice and still have no idea what is going on? Enter the Overthinking Zone Then the classic spiral begins: “Bro, what am I doing with my life?” “JEE is 200 days away and I’m...

Ai in Classrooms : Cool or Concerning?  Let’s be real — AI is everywhere right now. From your notes to your next blog idea (hi 👋), it’s changing the way we learn. But just because something is powerful… doesn’t mean it’s always right. When AI Feels Like a Superpower Honestly, if used correctly , AI can be a legit game-changer in education. Like: Stuck on a math concept? AI can break it down in ways your textbook never could. Need help organizing your thoughts for an essay? Boom — idea board ready. Teachers too are using it for checking assignments, generating quiz questions, saving loads of time. It’s like having a super smart study buddy who never gets tired. But Here's Where It Gets Shaky... The problem starts when we start depending on it too much. Copy-pasting full assignments? You’re cheating yourself out of learning. Using it to sound smart without actually understanding the topic? Big nope. Replacing that human vibe of teachers — like the pep ta...

  Happy Mother’s Day She’s the first love of every child. The first teacher. The one who keeps the entire family together, no matter what. No matter the situation, she always puts her child first—worrying constantly about what’s good, what’s bad, and how to make things better. When God saw He couldn’t be everywhere, He created Maa . She is, in every sense, the human form of God. Why do you think the first word we call out when we’re scared, hurt, or confused is always “Maa” ? She carries us for 9 months—carefully, lovingly, taking every step with caution just to protect us. And then after all of that… sometimes, we end up throwing our frustration at her. Why? Because we know she’ll stay. She won’t shout back. She’ll quietly absorb it all—and still return with love. That’s who she is. She lives for us. She wants to see us grow, succeed, and become something in life. We often complain about the nagging—“padh le,” “timepass mat kar”—but we ignore the intention behind ...

Hey... Varad here. I’ve been writing blogs for the past 15 days—and side by side, I’ve been training ChatGPT to match my raw tone. Today, it finally wrote something that hit the vibe. The Classroom Legends – A tribute to the real school heroes The only people who truly make your school life unforgettable—are the backbenchers. Yeah, those guys. The ones who never raised their hands in class… but raised the vibe of the entire classroom. Misunderstood? Always. Legendary? Absolutely. They didn’t need medals or certificates. Their achievement was surviving lectures without losing their minds. Passing chits like pros. Sneaking food like it’s an Olympic event. Making boring subjects bearable just by being there. While teachers thought they were “distracted”, they were actually living a whole different reality—one filled with laughter, inside jokes, and tiny rebellious victories. They were loud. They were chaotic. But deep down—they had the biggest hearts and the realest en...

FOMN (Fear of Missing Nostalgia) In this rushing world… it’s very common to miss out on nostalgia. You're all caught up in the work you're doing, and you tend to forget the things you've done in life that gave you immense happiness. For me, that thing was basketball. Hi, I’m Varad, and I’m a so-called JEE aspirant. I wasn’t having a good time—low marks, things seemed to fly over my head, forgetting concepts I just studied. I was honestly frustrated. One day, me and my school basketball team friends decided to book a court for a few hours. Everyone was free on a Sunday, so we locked in 4 to 6 PM. I didn’t know what was coming for me… Man, I enjoyed every moment I played. I got my captain instincts back—shouting for passes, scoring 3-pointers, yelling at teammates like the good old days. I remembered school team tournaments, those early morning bus rides, representing our school, lifting trophies. It was just 2 hours—but it felt like a whole year packed into that ti...

  What’s Up With the Weather: My Raw Thoughts Eh, the weather’s been going absolutely crazy lately. One moment it’s sunny — bright, clear, and kind of hopeful. Next moment? Boom. Full monsoon mode. Like… sky is having mood swings. And I swear, there’s something personal between me and this rain. Whenever I step out of the house, it starts pouring like I’ve triggered a boss fight. Then the moment I find shelter — magically, — it stops. Step back out? Yep. Rain again. Bro, if you’ve got issues, just communicate. We can sort this out . But for real — rains in May? Unpredictable as ever. It gives off full “Bhavishya Malika”  reelers vibe who bluff with zero knowledge , and at this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if Leviathan himself shows up from the clouds (just kidding....) May used to be about clear skies, ice creams, mangoes, and playing outside till sunset. Now it’s like: Wake up → JEE → mangoes → random rain → back to JEE → repeat. Conclusion: Maybe it’...

The Fear of Doing Nothing the times have become so crazy around me i’m a so-called jee aspirant yeah — basically a rat race everyone around me is working each day and in all this rush, if someone misses out for even one day man, they think it’s over for them they feel like everything will start piling up and they’ll lose the race they first lose the mental battle and then the actual one but actually — no that’s not how it works this mindset needs to go we need to normalise this because it’s messing with people like fr, someone just misses one day and their confidence crashes and then the actual situation gets worse a person should not be ignorant but also should not be afraid to stop for a day to just breathe and plan stuff out because blindly running with no direction might take you nowhere not to brag but i’ve picked myself back up even after doing absolutely nothing for a whole day every day is not a sunday na so how can every day be productive? even the unive...

The Cost of Constant Hustle These days, it feels like everyone is chasing something. playing in ipl, performing in football tournaments at 17 There’s this silent pressure to “make it” — and make it fast. I get it. Hustle is good. Speed matters. But what we’re seeing now? It’s beyond ambition — it’s obsession. Overachievers are burning out before they even start living. In the race to be “the youngest to ever do it,” we forget how to just be still . To feel moments. To absorb life. Not everything needs to be earned through sweat. Some things… the universe just wants to give you — if you let it. But these overachievers — they grind so hard, and when it still doesn’t click, they ask, “Why isn’t it working? I did everything.” Because sometimes it’s not about effort — it’s about timing. A friend once wrote this poem — it stuck with me: What am I doing in this life? Not a business at sixteen, Not a millionaire at seventeen, Not the youngest champion ever seen. They say...

  The Teacher Who Believed in Me We meet a lot of teachers in life. Some teach us chapters. Some teach us skills. But a rare few? They see something in us — before we even see it ourselves. For me, that teacher was her . Back in 9th grade, I was just that kid. The one who never really scored above 70%. I wasn’t dumb — just... uninterested. Studying didn’t excite me. I was floating through, doing the bare minimum. And then I heard about her . Her reputation? Terrifying. She was strict, disciplined, and yes — she slapped. But only when someone really slacked. Back then, a slap from a teacher was a whole different level of fear. But guess what else she had? Results. In over 22 years, not a single student under her had scored below 90%. I wanted in. I needed change. We called, and she said the batch was full. A part of me was relieved — no slaps. But deep down, I was disappointed. I knew I was missing out on something powerful. Then — a call. She reached out her...
