Life of a student in Kota | Hostel life in Kota

Life of a student in Kota

Kota is the 2^nd largest city located in Rajasthan state in India also known as the hub of education all over India. Many JEE and NEET aspirants each year take admission here, having hopes of getting selected and get admission in IIT, NIT, or AIIMS.

The coaching institutes like Allen, Resonance, Motion, Vibrant, Nucleus and many institutes are popularly known to provide quality education to the students.

I am eligible to talk about life in Kota because I have been there for 2 years and can discuss all the cons and pros of the city.

Hostel life in Kota:

As soon as you take admission to the desired coaching institute, your parents would search for a good hostel. I will be very honest, the price of the hostels is very high to afford. Hostel life, in the beginning, is quite fun but soon you start realizing that people are extremely selfish and will always try to trick you and make you not study. They would study all day and won’t attend you and will start enjoying your quality time of studies. It is on you that how soon you admit that and be aware of such kinds of people. Apart from this hostel life is better in many ways, you get a good circle and if a get a good friend then that will better for you to start your group study.

Coaching schedule in Kota:

The coaching schedule depends on the batch you are mainly it varies from 9 am to 5 pm. Students get adversely affected by the hectic schedule and are always running for marks. Institutes also provide a small canteen for students during break time. In the beginning, you would be allotted a normal batch, and your marks in the future will decide which batch you attain later. The highest qualified batch also called the star batch which is attained only by students who get qualified in the batch shuffling test. These star batch students get better teachers than normal batch students which is quite a hard competition for average students.

Food quality in Kota:

The meal served in hostels is not so good mainly it is simple food which is not liked by most of the students. But don’t worry there are many open messes available and you can pay them if you want to skip your hostel meal. Thursday and Sunday are considered as special meal days in most of the hostels which provide idli, dosa, uttapam, sweet dish and many more.

Holidays in Kota:

Students get weekly off from all the classes mainly Sunday, but if a teacher is running out of syllabus, he may schedule an extra class even on Sunday (that is sad). Festival holidays are not given here except Diwali (5-10 days) when all the students run to their homes after long. Raksha Bandhan holiday is also given which is just for 1 day and it is not possible to travel if you belong from a different state.

Distractions in Kota:

I want you to read this part very carefully as I have dealt with how the distraction process goes in Kota. Students here are extremely selfish and would never want to give their a minute to you and if you come between their studies they will make distance from you, this is about studious people. Talking about more than 65% of students in Kota who are involved in many toxic things and mind my words they can distract you as well. The problem is that students get enough freedom in the new city and in the absence of their family they get easily influenced by their friends. Distraction in Kota includes getting into relationships, making friends, or involving with friends who consume drugs, alcohol, and whatnot. What you need to realize is to stay away from these types of friends and make some quality friends who take their studies seriously.

All the best students who are going to Kota for their studies always be confident, stay in touch with your family and share every problem that arises before you. Remember parents sent you with hopes and they will help you in every possible way.

Hope it helps!

The river that fought

The Whanganui River in New Zealand is a treasured natural wonder and has deep spiritual significance to New Zealand’s Maori people. It is the country’s longest navigable river and is known as the Rhine of New Zealand. It is also legally a person.

In 2017, The Crown officially recognized the Whanganui River as a legal person after New Zealand’s longest-running legal battle. For the Whanganui tribe, the river holds great importance, both as a nurturer of life and as a deity.

Whanganui River - Wikipedia

The river basin is home to several settlements of the Whanganui tribe with its fertile basin and shining waters. The tribe has deep connections with the river and views it as a giver of life. This relationship is comparable to that between a mother and child. Therefore, just as a child has the responsibility to care for their parent, the tribe sees the well-being of the river as its responsibility.

After colonial settlement, the right of the tribe to care for this river was violated, and this continued to be the case even after its independence.

Thus in 2017, the Treaty of Waitangi settlement gave guardianship of the river to the Whanganui tribe.

This move has helped the river thrive and has given it the right to sue anyone who infringes upon its well-being.

Following this example, the Te Urewera Park was also granted legal personhood.

Thus by empowering nature, not only are we preserving the environment and securing a better future, but also protecting the heritage of marginalized communities.

Given the state of our planet, the time to act is now. Policy measures go a long way and giving nature legal personhood will put us on the path of conservation.

Women claim she has been kidnapped 52 times by aliens

Aliens have always been an interesting topic all over the world. Getting to know about other planets and the existence of weird-looking creatures having different appearances and capabilities. Many news has also reported that they have better technologies and that is the reason we don’t really can guess what are they? We have heard about 100’s of rumors about the existence of aliens. Some people say they have seen aliens, some say they met them and some explain that they have seen alien’s footprints. Well discussing all this and guessing how much are these rumors true is not our cup of tea but yes what if these rumors are true? Do we believe them?

For years this rumor remained doubtful and an interesting topic.

This is an article about Paula Smith from London who proved the existence of aliens and the story behind how she saw them, what was different in them from us and many such queries.

Who is Paula smith?

Paula is a 50-year-old woman from Bradford region London who was born in the year 1976. She claims that she had been kidnapped by aliens about 52 times. She was first kidnapped in 1982 when she was a 6-year-old little girl. She described how aliens used to take her through UFO and used to show Paula their technologies which are far more different from what we have presently. She told that their technologies and the devices they use are way more advanced than ours. Paula said that she has seen mobile phones which they use and which were invented before our technology didn’t even found. Paula presently a grandmother of two and now she finds the right time to tell everyone about it.

What do Paula’s parents say about aliens?

Paula’s parents agree to the fact that from childhood Paula remained missing for about 5-6 hours and it was all because aliens used to take her in UFO in that interval.

She said that during the interval of 5-6 hours, she remained in the UFO.

Does society believe Paula?

No, nobody believed her and even society started calling her that she has become mentally ill. To make them trust Paula made a sketch on paper of how aliens look, she showed a blackish sign present on her hand and explained to people that this bruise was made by aliens on her skin. Paula has faith that many people have experienced this and appealed to them to join her and share everything about it and make people trust that aliens do exist and she is not alone to experience all this. She says that people don’t come and tell about what happened to them out of fever which is weird and they should definitely come and share the world.

paula with her mark and picture she drew

Experience of Paula’s UFO journey

She described that she has been kidnapped 52 times and no alert or warning was given to her and was always kidnapped all of a sudden. She always took that in a common way or otherwise she would have gone mad. She was taken in the UFO where she was shown with their latest technologies which we still don’t have. She also told that aliens have the capability to change the color of the sky and the river which they showed to her. Aliens also showed her a slideshow that was more like a film described that how the earth is coming to end due to human temptations.

Scientists still keep on checking the signals of the areas of how UFO used to enter the earth’s space. We still have many doubts in our mind that where do they come from, which planet do they belong to? And it remains a big confusion for many.

Incitement – call to act

Invest in getting better. The quickest way to take back your power and gain full control over your life is to take responsibility over the things that you’ve attracted. Instead of blaming others or pointing fingers at others ,ask yourself what lesson is this situation or circumstances here to teach you.

Since energy is everything , nothing is a coincidence.Your thoughts , emotions and beliefs are sent out to the environment to attract to yourself what you think and feel. When a situation presents itself and you’re not happy with it,you don’t have to blame what’s happening. Rather ,bless where you are at by being thankful for what it has taught you and be open to ways you can evolve from it. This will automatically empower you to attract better experiences because you are not a victim. Eveything around you is energy. The alignment you attract in the physical is a match to your mental/inner reality. If you don’t like what you have attracted upto this point,don’t point fingers at the circumstances. These are just results of your thinking.

You should never blame anyone or anything for what you have attracted,that just weakens your personal power to take responsibility for your life. Instead ,focus back on your thoughts,beliefs and ideas you have about this world! What is that little voice in your head constantly saying? What emotion are you always holding? Your state of being is constantly gravitating everything towards us. You can’t keep asking for particular relationship and hold a negative view on love , you can’t keep asking for financial freedom and hold a negative view on money! See, it’s not what we say we “want” but the belief we have about it.

Everyone desires a change, but to become better you have to start doing the self work which is owning your life. You start by letting go of all the resentment, could haves, should haves, or what went wrong in your past. Once you become detached from the noise and own your power, you now have the opportunity to increase your vibration to attract experience you want.

The better you become the better you attract! Everything starts with you!!
