Being a part of misfit ; Day-2

 Hello Everyone ,

This is the second day of me posting a key learning which i am able to derive out of a classes of Misfits. I took one session today i.e Geography .So my key learnings would be from that only .

Geography :

In the very first session of Geography, I have learnt about the importance and relevance of Geography as it is a static subject but it influences our Dynamic decisions . For eg : Odisha's coast is prone to cyclone because it is covered by sea and due to this, it suffers major destruction . You can't change geography but your decisions can be guided by the effects of the same . So for the sake of it , they made a robust disaster management plan which was appreciated and applauded all the over the country .

Then in order to understand the relevance of geography on a broader view , we took USA as an example and discussed how we can consider USA more powerful country on the planet ? 

The answer was multi-dimensional as follows ;

  • It surely has a competitive economy and considered to be the one which affects global economies too .
  • But having an influential economy is not enough if we cannot secure it .As wealth always does not ensure security and US has phenomenal military armed with most latest weapon and technology .
  • US rules the mind of the people and hence successfully established the cultural hegemony all over the world, be it hollywood or TV show friends .
  • Rivers are known as arteries of civilisation and hence US has the Missisipi river sytstem which crosses over 31 states of US and 2 canadian provinces. Civilisations thrive around rivers due to easy access of water for transportation , communication , trade , agriculture etc. 
  • Diverse climatic conditions which make agriculture easier and that's why US is the largest exporter of food .
  • I would like to add one more point from my side that How US's standing is required or consider to be important in every global matter . For eg : large representation of US in United Nations . 
That's all from my side today ! 
Thank you !

Being a part of Misfit ; Day 1

 Hello Everyone,  My name is Srishti Kannojia and I'm preparing for UPSC and for the sake of it , I have joined a community called "Misfits". For me, being Misfit is not a part of the herd but somebody who has it's own voice and opinions and this was the very reason why I joined it . I had an amazing orientation session with Mr. Naman Shrivastava sir who enlightened me with the realities which i have to face in this journey for an year . Key learnings from today's session are:  2024 was my first attempt and it went horribly wrong because all I did was cramming up of concepts and then from today's session , i got to know how important it is, to form logical and analytical conjectures . This exams demands a lot of time , patience , dedication and consistency from you so in order to provide that we must focus on over all wellness of our body . Motivation is meaningless, if you're inconsistent. So , above three would be my Key learning for a day. Thank you !

Being a part of Misfits Day -4

    Hello Everyone , This is the fourth day of me posting the key learnings which i am able to derive out of a classes of Misfits. I took two sessions today i.e Geography and History . My key learnings are ; Geography : Previously , we have discussed about what is physical geography? Now we'll learn about the important aspects of Physical Geography which helps in the creation of external features of the earth and also get influenced by some forces . Basically ,we discussed about two forces which are continuously in action which means that the landscape of an area is continuously changing . Those two forces are Endogenic force i.e the type of force which shapes the landscape of earth from inside and Exogenic forces i.e the type of force which shapes the landscape of earth from outside. Examples of Endogenic forces are seismic activities , movement of plate tectonics etc . Examples of Exogenic forces are high temperature , running water , wind etc .  The thing which I have ...
