Hello! Hope you are fine and into the play as a real warrior. Quarantine is a challenge! Yes! For me, you and everyone… But it’s a tougher one for you, who can’t simply “Netflix and chill”. You are on your battlefield preparing for the ultimate shot. The shot which is probably considered having the capability to either make or break you. Well… I strongly disagree! Nothing except “you, yourself” can break you. You are a warrior and it’s about the day and you are into the play for yourself. I still remember the NEET exam of 2018 which despite of me being over prepared made me drop a year more. After february when the syllabus gets completed and you are sort of free from the daily schedule you practice, things might take a bitter turn. The situation is almost the same.

Having your exams postponed might bring a feel of joy, but it is the time to tighten your shoe laces and go for it with even more enthusiasm. “Hey! Is it going to be a zero session year? Will the dates extend even more? What should we do? How to overcome boredom?” are some of the queries which would be definitely be popping up your minds as a notification everytime you go through the sheets/DPPs. But, no one has seen the future. Inquiring more and more won’t bring a favourable outcome. It’s the time for you to be in attacking mode and most importantly, don’t let stress defeat you. You are a warrior and can’t afford to distress yourself! The main cause of stress as per my opinion is OVERTHINKING. Don’t set targets for the whole month. Take each day as a target and achieve it. Enjoy the victory of everyday. Trust me, the moment I started being a true _Befikra_, things changed and with lesser preparation, I succeeded. Well, being a _Befikra_ definitely doesn’t mean leaving it all and enjoying. It’s just about being a warrior who doesn’t has time to think about the results. Every day is a new target for you. Utilise it beautifully. Be in proper contacts with your mentors and keep yourself motivated. The mindset of yours affect your subconscious and ultimately the results. Be a warrior, fight with enthusiasm and you will definitely come out with flying colours.

Kachori, Poha Aur Patties ! Don’t the above names sound like three best friends? Kota is the Mecca of coaching for all the students who want to pursue Engineering or Medical. We all know that the journey in Kota is monotonous and tough and most of the time the students are under pressure because of one reason or another. But one among these three best friends comes to their rescue most of the time. “Kachori” Kota’s Kachori makes your lips burn, tongue dance, eyes fill with tears and even heat race faster. Some special ingredients that make Kota Kachori mouth watering are Heeng (asafoetida) and dry coriander seeds used in the filling of the Kachoris. The filling mainly consists of Urad Dal and Indian spices. The Kachori is accompanied by green chutney and sometimes even with curry. The taste of the Kachori might not be uniform throughout the city but it can never be disappointing. “Poha” One of the healthiest breakfast options in Kota is Poha. It is often served with Jalebi. The flat taste of Poha is made tangy and mildly spicy with the addition of onions, tomatoes, lemon juice, chat masala, sev bhujiya, green chillies and some even add saunf (fennel). The namkeen Poha and the sweet Jalebi makes a perfect combination and it is one of the most loved combinations in the city. “Patties” In a hurry and want to quiché your hunger? Then patties always comes to your rescue. The patty consists of a filling which is made of potato and Indian spices. One can add generous toppings like chesse, mayo, bhujiya, ketchup, paneer and a lot more that makes it a sheer delight to eat. It is a pocket friendly and stomach filling option one can find in the food menu in Kota. Which among the three comes to your rescue when you are hungry and in a hurry? When mess’s food is boring and flat, when you want a healthy breakfast or snack at 4 in the morning… Apart from Kachori, Poha and Patties a variety of food is served and loved by the people. The food menu also consists of various kinds of sandwiches, momos, parathas, rolls and many items. The city even serves delicious Indian style Burgers (a must-try if one visits the city). Kota serves all kinds of Indian cuisines, all one needs to do is to find the best place, where it is served. The emotion attached with the food is what makes it more special may it be sharing business ideas, discussing life problems, comparing the answer after test, a short break from studies or anything. These feelings and emotions attached to Kachori, Poha and Patties makes it even more special to every Kotaite.
