Hi Medium Readers,

Here, I would like to pen down some thoughts that come across my mind randomly.

There are some brilliant youtube channels that are extremely under-rated/under-followed.

One of them is the “Rodha- CAT Prep” Channel on Youtube. I casually stumbled upon the channel. They were claiming to cover 100% CAT syllabus. I started watching the first few videos. The guy is extremely down to earth and has got exceptional conceptual clarity. I started binge watching all of his videos. I have watched all of his Quant Videos. They are really really good. He starts from the very basics and goes to levels beyond CAT standards. I really loved his content. I followed him on Unacademy and I’ll be purchasing his paid course soon.

He coins a term called “Mind Fat” which is analogous to “Body Fat”. In order to remove the Mind Fat we need to work aggressively and solve a lot of hard problems to remove it, just like the case of Body Fat.

There’s another take away and I strongly comply with his idea. “Hard work in the right direction & with right mentorship will definitely lead to success”. This is in line with the thought “The direction always mattered over the speed”. Mr. Ravi Prakash is name of the guy. I strongly believe that “He is the Hero that we need but we don’t deserve”. There are only 33K subscribers to his channel.

There are a lot of mistakes/mishaps that was done by me/to me in the past. I did not go for any sort of JEE coaching or Entrance coaching. This is the biggest mistake. I missed that sort of rigour. I am lacking that strength/command over concepts. And going to a no-name college was one of the greatest mistakes of my life. I should’ve take a break and joined JEE coaching. I would’ve at least got that rigour/command over the subject. Be it Math or Physics.

Some of the most under-rated music producers in India are “Lost-Stories” and Yashraj Mehra. This YashRaj kid raps so well. He didn't get the traction he deserves. I really feel bad for him.

Anyway, the world was never Linear. It’s always non-linear. It’s all about playing by your strengths and making your weak zones your strong zones.
