Favouritism is it Real?

Hello guys, I hope you are having a great day and enjoying my blogs.

Today, we are going to talk about favoritism and whether you’ve ever had any experiences like the one I’m about to share with you. So, let’s dig into it.

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a college student, and today I came across something funny yet serious. We had our winter vacation, and it’s been about two weeks since the new semester started. Today, we had a seminar where we were told that two students were going to be awarded participation certificates for submitting articles.

Well, that’s great — but after the seminar, I asked some students from my department if they had also submitted articles through some platform. I was astonished to learn that our department head had only messaged those two students individually during the vacation and didn’t even inform other students about this opportunity. At first, I thought maybe the seats were limited, but I later found out that more than 15 students from each department had been selected.

This really hit me because I remembered something from before the end of our seminar. One of the participants had mentioned preparing an article. When I asked him if I could take part as well, he told me the next day that the professor had declined and said the opportunity was just meant for him. So, I let it go — but now I know that it wasn’t a limited participation opportunity after all.

Now, I’m applying to various article competitions available online, and I’m determined to win something more than just a participation certificate. I want to have my photo with the reward — right in front of that professor. If anyone of you know abot any other opportunities please do share for everyone in the community.

Thank you, everyone, for reading. Blogging has been a great way for me to speak my mind and share my experiences with all of you. I would be so glad if you shared your own experiences with favoritism, whether you were on the receiving end or the other side of the coin.

The Beginning of Scribe & Scale

Hello, readers! I am Krishna Chodha, a proud resident of Himachal Pradesh's Valley of Gods. It’s a great pleasure to introduce my own blogging page, Scribe & Scale . I’ve chosen this name because it reflects a balance of intellectual curiosity and practical application — perfect for a blog that bridges the worlds of archaeology, finance, and tech tips. My fascination with archaeology began when I was a child, inspired by one of the shows on History TV18. Any guesses? Yes, you’re absolutely right — it was Ancient Aliens ! There was another show that captured my imagination as well, but I can’t quite recall its name — so if you remember, do share it in the comments! Since watching those shows, I’ve been captivated by Egypt and one of the Seven Wonders of the World — the majestic Pyramids of Giza. Their history, mystery, and architectural brilliance have always intrigued me. On the finance side of this blog, we’ll explore the markets and deepen our collective understanding of fina...

A Birthday Realization

 Hello readers, Today along with the start of my blog is my birthday which was one of the major reasons I've started this blog. Today I'm 21 and I feel like I have become quite old. As everyone around me looks small and had a weirdest interaction with a woman just few weeks back who started a conversation with the word "Bhaiya".  Can you imagine a married woman calling me bhaiya there and then I felt like "Oh man, I am getting old, or do I look like one?". This also made my feet move toward the gym faster and instead of lifting weights I went on the Cardio floor and did 30-45 min of cardio. And then ate almost a bowl worth of chocolate mousse cake as you do. This whole experience got me thinking — why not share my daily stories with people who might have gone through the same “Oh no, I’m getting old” moments? Maybe we can laugh, reflect, and figure out this journey together. So, here’s to many more stories, experiences, and a lot of cake. Welcome to my blog!...

Do you still love it?

There are some shows that we loved to watch on a regular basis and waited every week for the next episode to appear. That show for me was WWE, well some of you might not consider it a show but for me it was more than that. I remember the first time I saw my first WWE match on a Sunday afternoon, it was a sunny day on March 29, 2010. My parents fed up with a 7 year me handed off the remote and just scolded off to watch some cartoon as they already knew there wasn't a possibility for me to go study. So, watching the same old repeat episodes of Ben 10 made me curious about other channels and while switching channels I reached to "Ten Sports" back in the day unlike today's 1,2,3. Now, I was fully focused on two men fighting each other "Undertaker & Shawn Michaels", I didn't understand a thing the commentators were speaking, but that wasn't my focus my full attention was on the fight. And then Undertaker jumps off the top of the ring on top off the ca...
