So.. Another day of being a no lifer, while scrolling through Reddit I came across this post.  which gives a tutorial of using IOS shortcut automation to turn on auto sync in Anki, which for some reason developers didn't include even after charging $25 / 2.5k INR But OP's tutorial was still complicated, especially the part where you have to figure out all the technicalities yourself lmao So Here I am! to the rescue! your savior! and You are welcome in advance. So now, all the crap and forced humor aside, here is the step by step tutorial of how to achieve Anki autosync upon opening and closing the app: btw Before continuing, i'd like to inform you that i've also made a YouTube Demonstration  Step 1: THE EASY PART : (DOWNLOAD) Download Data Jar app from AppStore (relax, you won't even need to open it, you can if you want but don't mess the fuck up with it)   Get these 4 IOS shortcuts: (i made them for you, so you don't have to) Time Last Run Anki Sync Anki S...

  FAQs, setups, workflow and tips: 📃  A Reddit post detailing the complete workflow including how I use Anki (in comments). 🎥  (Optional, dont watch i'd say, the above reddit post is enough) The guy I followed to learn Obsidian initially, although he complicates it a lot, but still good for beginners to understand the Obsidian Philosophy 🗨️  you can join this telegram group, and search for "Obsidian" and read respective relevant chats 🎥  Another video of a UPSC aspirant showcasing their VAULT helped me to understand how I can set one up for myself. once again, this isnt a blog intended to convince anyone to use Obsidian. I simply shared this to demonstrate its aesthetic appeal when combined with specific plugins and fonts. (in this case; Fancy a story is the theme and veranda is the font) Having used it for months, it has become second nature to me, and i have a comprehensive understanding of it. its simply another note taking app, nothing x-factor magical...

So somebody DMed me, asking me for my Sociology Anki cards , Let me share my perspective, which I believe will save you time. There are generally two categories of things you might want to create flashcards for. First , there are hard factual pieces of information generally presented in a tabular format.  For example: "Who is the Prime Minister of India?" Answer: Modi. Second , there are broader concepts and topics.   For example: "What is Poverty Ratio?" OR "what is Alienation?"  Now, When it comes to hardcore facts i.e. the first type, you can efficiently generate flashcards using AI or leverage pre-made cards from others. = that is INDEED the ideal way. However, for concepts and topics i.e. the second type, you'll find the best ROI when you create YOU OWN flashcards. And ideally, by manually typing them out. » cards banate banaate hi yaad hojate hai  (You memorize as you create the cards) Otherwise, if you rely on AI to generate concept cards OR u...

So, I was watching this random video by Arpit Bala which got me thinking; I often find myself and people around me, using AI a lot. Literally a lot, but here is a thought; Whats happening? More and more people have started to outsource so much stuff to AI. for eg. emotions (sharing emotions and seeking validation), personality (e.g, asking AI how to respond to texts), introspections (lacking original thoughts and ideas, and asking AI instead all the time) social life (instead of meaningful real-life interactions), personal life (journal/overshare personal life), friendships (making AI their friend), etc. Wont it lead to a personality deficiency crisis in the near future? 💀  for example, Personally, I can already observe my own grammar skills getting deteriorated because i use AI so damn much all the time for making notes, improving/checking grammar etc. what makes us human ?  things which make us human: the personality, and the emotions. If we outsource it, what's left? All...

So i was very stressed out just a while ago, cus my targets are piling up and mom asked me to get something from the market, i didnt say anything to her but i lost my mind out of stress. but then it got me thinking and introspecting, WHY am i losing my mind? what is it on the break days, that keeps me sane? Turns out, the thing which is making me lose my mind is me, myself. I try to over control things, my time, my schedule. I need to understand one thing: I need not be perfect, I just need to be good enough, consistent, and kind. I need to start being more patient. I need to ingrain in my mind that consistency overpowers intensity every single time. I need to let go more often. I understood the key: No desperation about anything. No trying to over-control anything Value system to determine priority  It's so ironical, the more I try to control things, control my schedule, forgetting my value system, forgetting my purpose, forgetting kindness, being overly desperate about my daily t...

So this time i took a nice 2 day break and binge watched COMPLETE Attack on titan Anime. and its definitely one of its kind, absolute masterpiece. Although i have my doubts about ending since its kinda vague, but i definitely would like to believe the Eremika Fandom theory that Eren and Mikasa finally got united forever in hereafter.   UPDATE: this is the Ending i (want to) believe in Now.  (reddit post) and the next thing ill be watching is AOT Jr. high  some reflections? well it taught me how to find happiness in small things , and  how privileged i am to have access to being living a normal life, having a family, being born in stability.  Unlike those innocent people of Palestine, Ukraine and other war torn countries who a...

So I took a well deserved break today (I am not 100% sure if it was deserved or not, but well, I called it a break day) and all I did today in terms of studying was 30 mins of Anki. Originally, I was supposed to read some 10 pages of Laxmikant, then some 1.5k Anki cards, then forum pts1, but well, tomorrow ig. Now, why this break? I became a mama for the second time, alhamdulillah so there's been some excitement and a festive environment. The naming and akiqah is to be done tomorrow I guess tomorrow will also be a half day. what did I do today? 1. Dropped my Jiju at the station (I love driving, and it was a fairly long 60 min ride to and fro) 2. Got myself a haircut (after 3 long months). 3. Went to the gym for 2 whole hours (been skipping the gym for the past few weeks sadly) 4. Helped Mom with some household chores (usually I always make excuses that I have to study) ( but am I really that busy every day? I wonder now... ). 5. Made myself a protein-rich dinner with carrot juic...

So, I got addicted (over-invested/curious about?) to another show Yeah, it's the show all the emo people watch (sadly, I feel like I am one of them now), but the show is AMAZING Not as good as TheOffice tho (politically controversial opinion ofc) Coming back to the point, WHY am i writing this blog? Well... I don't want to escape reality by getting immersed in the show. I am not just an average consumer; I am the main character, and I need to start living like it I have made my decision. I will stop watching the show. So far i have watched till S2E17 : the one where eddie moves in.. But I really do want to watch and complete the show; it's fun haha. I'll put it on my bucket list, and since I don't have any “formal” bucket list , this blog will serve as a reminder for my future self to come back and finish the show once I'm successful in Real Life . Oh, by the way, I need to try Joey's haircut

In the middle of my graduation exams, here I am, watching The Office . The episode? S7 Ep22: Goodbye Michael. Michael tells Kevin, "You should never settle for who you are," (because he's fat) but to Andy, he says, "I have faith in you." And just like that, he says goodbye to everyone and leaves. Emotional AF. Anyway, back to real life. Why am I writing this? Honestly, I don’t know. Actually, I do. I’m writing this as a promise to my future self that this low point I’ve hit, I will fix it. What’s wrong with me? Physical Health Overeating fruits post iftaar (which is backfiring, obviously). Haven’t hit the gym in a month. I am 74-75 Kgs rn. Goal is 62-63! Not taking marathon prep seriously. Sleep schedule? Completely wrecked. Mental Health Can’t focus, not even in Tarawih prayers. Feeling puzzled and confused all the time. Stress is piling up. In General Addicted to perfectionism. Addicted to The Office . Doing everything except studying. Not taking graduati...

Alright, so I'm genuinely fascinated by the crazy rate at which tech is evolving. China dropped its DeepSeek open source. The West is killing it with tech giants like Nvidia dominating the microchip scene, and then you've got OpenAI, Anthropic, LLaMA, and Gemini all dropping their best models.  And us? Well, India's got their own forecasting model AstroTalk.  Here's my hot take: we, as a nation, seriously need to realign our focus toward growth, development, and things that actually, you know, matter. But then, on the flip side, you've got CMs tweeting about Samay Raina's show for legal action and people taking to the streets to protest. Over what? "Ruining the culture?" Seriously? (And all this while we're dealing with pretty unlivable living standards and air you can practically chew .) That's just sad tbh :( Oh, but hey, at least we're a Vishwaguru in something. We're a top contender when it comes to crimes against women.  The doubl...
