New Year Resolutions - Week 04 Achievements & Failures in 2023 #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys, 

Week 4 has a lot of events to attend from Samsung's S23 series pre-launch event to the Huawei Mate 50 Pro launch event along with Youtube shorts event to the Fluence Africa event. 

1. Thank You - The Thank You counter reached 80000 and also started a new one to reach 3000. The overall counter for 2023 has reached now 83000. 

2. Entertainment - Pitchers Season 2 launched after a long wait and people were immediately glued to the same and so did I. Seasons 2 offers so much more in the life of a startup and really touches your heart. I also watched Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke Season 1. I have totally forgotten about the same now. I also rewatched the Deewar movie on Youtube starring Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Khanna. 

3. Launch Event - I attended the pre-launch event of Samsung and won a 4 clue game featuring the quality of photos taken using the 200mp camera and its zoom feature. I am still waiting for the prize to date. At the Huawei Launch event of Mate 50 Pro, the goodies we received was a 10000mAh battery that I have forgotten where I have kept it also. At the Fluence Africa event, I didn't get anything as I didn't get the signatures from the team on the back of the card as they never told me that. So I didn't go back to get it signed and came home at the end of the event. 

4. Salary Week - This is the week where I get my monthly salary and that's the only income currently that I look forward to taking care of all my living expenses. I feel grateful that this income has made me where I am today by sacrificing a lot of things. When will I reach a point where I don't have to think about spending money or saving money. Life has been a struggle for me or rather just say that my money mindset was not to attract money. I never had the self-belief that I could earn big money but that needs to be changed. A single source of income can't make anyone rich and you will always be stuck in the same middle-class mentality and life. 

Let's work on changing your belief system and it's the best investment you can make in yourself. I feel grateful that this thought has come to my mind and now I can work towards changing it. It's the biggest failure of life if you can't work on changing the belief system that's not serving you in your future ventures or future self. 

Thanks for your time, Aashish

Cheers!!!

#TheLifesWayReviews KOTA FACTORY @TheViralFever #KotaFactory #Drama

Hi Friends,

Yesterday I binged watched the Kota Factory as it's only 5 episodes which go for about 3 hours 15 minutes and totally fallen in love with the overall story and brought back so many memories from the times when I was preparing for my engineering entrance exams from New Delhi and not from Kota like the TVF's Kota Factory's protagonist Vaibhav Pandey played by Mayur More. Ranjan Raj plays Balmukund Meena who welcomes Vaibhav into his world of IIT preparations and becomes one of the best friends. His acting is superb and brings a lot of soul to the whole series. 

Kota is showcased to be run by two major coaching institutes where Maheshwari Classes is number 1 and if you don't get admission there then you join Prodigy Coaching classes. Vaibhav comes to Kota and joins the Prodigy after being rejected admission by Maheshwari Classes and starts in the lowest batch A10. He is introduced to Uday Gupta played by Alam Khan and Shivangi Ranawat played by Ahsaas Channa by Meena. Slowly as he starts his journey he is helped and motivated by Jeetu Bhaiya who is Physics Teacher at Prodigy Classes and the actor behind this role is Jitendra Kumar. In real life, Jitendra is an IIT Kharagpur graduate and moved into movies and web series. 

Kota Factory not only focusses on the various subjects and the nitty-gritty behind those subjects but also coming out from the home environment to stay in the hostels and PG's where the basic necessities is also a struggle despite the amount of money provided by the family. As the friendship develops, Vaibhav and others not only learns a lot about life but also about the IIT preparations. This web series doesn't only show the competitiveness between students but the mental state of aspirants who are spending 1-2 years of their life in Kota and how it impacts the rest of their life. The 21 Days plan is really awesome and you will definitely enjoy watching this web series. 

The dialogues spoken by Jeetu Bhaiya really hits you to think a lot about your own life whatever stage you are in. I really loved watching this web series and want to see it once again especially the parts of Jeetu Bhaiya. Even when Meena says ''Kabhi Kabhi Milne aur saath rehne mein farak hota hai, Dosti hai koi revision thodi na, joh Karna hi hai'' and this dialogue made me cry. It reminded me of several times when I had to leave a lot behind and just go where life took me. That's the biggest reality of life which we need to accept that change is what will keep you moving forward and accept it as soon as possible and make it a way of life. 

There is not only serious mode in this web series but also when they get to relax for 5 days during the Class 12 practicals time and it brings that they are still kids who are handling the pressure of the world. It is the time when Meena falls for Meenal Parekh played by Urvi Singh and Vaibhav for Vartika Ratawal played by Revathi Pillai whom we saw recently in Special Ops as Kay Kay Menon's daughter. These moments are really great as it will bring back all the memories of first love from your school and college days. 

Kota Factory is a comedy-drama created by Saurabh Khanna and Tamojit Das. The songs are created by Karthik Rao and Simran Hora. Cinematography is done by Jerin Paul and a lot of drone shots really bring a lot of great shots of Kota, Rajasthan. The overall production value is great and all actors just fit in their roles and the story is great with a lot of drama, comedy, and motivation. Also, the whole series is shot in Black and White till the end and really brings back nostalgic memories automatically.

I don't know whether there will be a Season 2 of the series but I am hoping that it will happen sometime after the lockdown as the end result of getting into the IIT is not shown but I am sure even these 5 episodes you will want to see again and again. Go for it if not seen to date. The same is also available on Youtube as well as TVFPlay. RATING 4.5/5

Sawubona!
