How I decided to attend exactly two events, make one rangoli, and still not fail the pre-boards.
A sarcastic person trying to write something sincere at 11 pm, three months before boards.
A dry attempt to explain why the Physics I write for school and the Physics I need for JEE feel like different subjects.
Biotechnology and its Applications. After the principles chapter cloning, vectors, bioreactors , this one is the "what do we use it for" chapter and I'm drowning in examples: Bt cotton, RNAi, golden rice, insulin, gene t
I am in class 12 PCM and I live in a small town in Bihar. My school is a normal government school and my coaching is online. I study hard, but I am finding it difficult now. I have been very tired for about a month. I ca
Revision month, chemistry, distinction tests. Every board and NEET paper has at least one "which reagent distinguishes X from Y" question, so I need this airtight. The thing I got wrong in a mock: "Benzaldehyde and propa
You don't need a big idea, a good vocabulary or an audience. Here's what I wish someone had told me before post number one.

Board prep + NEET revision means I'm re-reading class 12 chapter 2 and I realised I've been memorising a line without understanding it. NCERT says "the flower is a modified shoot" meant for sexual reproduction. Okay, but
I was writing a late-night poem about the sky wearing a thin blanket when I realised I don't actually understand the thing I'm writing about 🙃 Ozone depletion in NCERT: ozone in the stratosphere absorbs harmful UV; its f
Chapter: Moving Charges and Magnetism. I'm trying to see the story in the equations, but a few lines feel like they contradict each other. The force on a charge is \vec F = q \vec v\times\vec B . It's always perpendicula
Okay so it's officially under 100 days to my first board paper Chennai, PCB, CBSE and I am having a full dramatic crisis, please send help 😭. My situation: prelims are in about three weeks, practicals right after, then b
