His words wind you. You do not expect them. Had they been an upper cut, or perhaps a cross, you would have seen it coming. You would have tensed for impact, like you have thousands of times before. You would have barely felt the blow when it landed.

But these words – you do not anticipate them. They blindside you.

“I wondered if you might consider accompanying me back to Waterdeep as a new member of the Dekarios clan?”

His soft eyes shine, brimming with hope. Love.

You feel like you are suspended. It is not unlike the numbness after a fight. The empty shock and silence, the world bustling around you while you listen in a stupor to your laboured breaths. You cannot even feel the aching of your limbs. You mouth makes your question without your consent.

“Are you asking me to marry you?”

Such warmth and light, such gentleness in his smile. It would speak volumes, even if he were silent.

“I suppose I am. Tara would be delighted, not to mention my mother. But I’d be just as happy without such ceremony, as long as we’re together.”

You flinch. You do not know why. And you do not know why the sounds stick in your throat as you turn from him, as if defending against a punch to your gut.

“I’m sorry, Gale,” you manage to force out.

You cannot bring yourself to look back at him as you retreat.

-----

You never expected to fall in love with this man.

You were not surprised to find an instant friendship with Lae’zel, disciplined and fuelled by combat, instinctively aware of how the battle could swallow you up until nothing of you remained. Even Wyll, his life rewritten by tales of glory, and Shadowheart, reduced to the pinprick of a divine mission shrouded in secrets. They were fast and easy companions, in whose presence some things did not need to be spoken to be understood.

But Gale. This man spoke as though reading from a textbook, and carried himself with an awkwardness that suggested he had never thrown a punch in his life. You had few dealings with wizards, much less ones of skill and renown. You had no education or scholarly insight, no aptitude or experience with magic. You were sure you had nothing in common with him, pleasant enough as he was.

The only time you had encountered anyone like Gale had been when your coach had tried to sell you to wealthy sponsors and patrons. They would stand there in their spotless robes and finery, appraising your bruised and bloody body after each fight, grimacing and finding you wanting. You had won a handful of fights but lost more. Outside of a small circle in Baldur’s Gate, you were little known in the boxing circuits. Human females, much less ones as slight of stature as you, generally did not fare well.

But you had fought your way out of that flophouse, and every day was a fight to keep surviving. You could not remember a time before you had been recruited as a boxer, a time before fighting was what you lived and breathed and dreamt of. A fighter was all you were, all you had ever been.

No, you did not expect to grow close to this man. You had never known anyone like him.

The first time you had felt it was when he spoke to you of the Weave. No wizard or sorcerer had ever bothered to really speak to you before, let alone share this most intimate of secrets. Gale had felt held and cradled by the Weave, cocooned in its embrace, and it had transformed him, even in the telling of it. And you had known, then, that he would understand. You knew you could tell him how it felt in the midst of a fight, when the battle became a spirit that carried you like a wave, a surge of freedom and ecstasy that possessed you, until you became the fight. You were one with it. Without it, you felt lost, like you were nothing.

He had understood it. Much later, when he told you of Mystra, you realised that he understood it more acutely than anyone else could.

When you learned he was from Waterdeep, you told him about the fight you had lost there about a year before you had found yourself on the Nautiloid. The two of you had revelled in the realisation that you had walked the streets beneath his tower, looked across the sea that he had gazed at from his balcony. If you had looked up, you may even have seen him sitting there, reading or bickering with Tara. In Gale’s unbridled excitement, you could feel an agonised yearning for home. But you could not tell him you had been to all the taverns and libraries he recounted with longing. You could not tell him that you had enjoyed all the specialties of Waterdeep that he wished so intensely to cook and share now. You felt disappointment, and even some shame, in this.

“I didn’t have the pleasure of any of that,” you told him. “The second that I was awake, I was training for the fight. And after the fight, I had to leave to start training for the next one.”

He grimaced. “And I had locked myself away, and couldn’t have seen you fight. Another regret I can add to my ever growing list – that I didn’t have the privilege of crossing paths with you then.”

The thought of Gale pinched into the jeering crowds that loomed around you while you bled and battered the daylights out of an orc seemed so ridiculous that you could not help but laugh.

“I don’t think that would have been your scene, Gale. Even if you had left your tower.”

He chuckled. “I might have met you at a tavern after the fight.”

You arched an eyebrow. “I doubt you would have given me the time of day. Boxers like me don’t generally have any enlightening insights about the arcane arts.”

At that time, you did not tell him the truth – that you never would have gone to a tavern. Your coach would not have permitted you, even if you had wanted to. The temptation to drink and feast and choose pleasure over sleep would have been too great. Everything in your fighter’s life was measured and rationed out like water in a desert. You could not have a morsel without your coach’s approval, and even with it, warning bells would signal in your head whenever any rule was broken, any restriction disregarded. A tavern may not have been Gale’s scene, but it was not yours either.

You did not tell him that long before he had been trapped in his tower, you had been trapped in that boxing ring. It was the only home you knew. Yet you still yearned for it, even as he did.

He looked at you then, in a way no one had ever done before. There was a fullness in his gaze, a tenderness, but his eyes were unflinching. It stirred something inside you that you had forgotten was there. A warmth tingled through you like trailing fingers.

“I would have relished a conversation with you,” he said. “Just as I do now.”

Desire was not something alien to you. Sex was not frowned on in the training camps you had been sent to time after time. It was a way to remove distractions, ease tension, improve performance. You had even benefited from it with competitors. “Judicious bloodletting helps to resolve disputes,” Lae’zel was fond of saying, and you found sex to be the same.

When Lae’zel had made you an offer, though, you had declined. Though it was years ago, you could almost feel the aches from your last dalliance with a Githyanki fighter. The mere thought of it exhausted you now. To your relief, Lae’zel was pleased when you suggested regular sparring instead. You would go on late into the evenings, your companions watching enthusiastically at first, Karlach and Astarion even taking bets. But when one by one, their interest waned and they retired to their tents, Gale remained, wide eyed in wonder. There was no disaffected judgment, no wry appraisal in his stare.

You could see that it aroused him. You recognised that look well. He had even told you so, deep in the recesses of the Shadow-cursed lands, with your jaw clenched, muscles taut and slick with sweat. You were surprised and amused, and it had aroused you too, to know his feelings while he watched you doing what you did best. And it was familiar to you, to have to earn your keep and prove yourself worthy.

Everything in life had always been a fight to you. You were used to pushing your body to its limits and your mind beyond what it could endure. The battles you fought on your journey to the Netherbrain had not been so different than what you were used to, absent the looming threat of death. You were used to the gruelling, endless cycle, training and harrowing yourself before each fight. But you had never been accustomed to success and victory. The shame of defeat suffocated you, the fury and resentment of your coach more painful than any knock out. And even when you won, when you attained the glory which you had tortured yourself for so long to achieve, you would be overwhelmed by a crippling emptiness. It was an emptiness that could only be filled momentarily by the promise of another fight, a semblance of another purpose.  Yet always, you would lie awake in the dead of night, muscles throbbing and torn, bruises purpling and bones broken, exhausted but unable to sleep or rest.

But you did not feel that emptiness anymore. Each victory on this great struggle did not disappear once you had reached it. Instead, every trace of goodness and kindness, every life saved, however fragile, was a light cast into the hole inside you that you thought could never be filled. For the first time in your life, you found that you could sleep, though rest still seemed to elude you.

And when he came to love you, it sometimes felt that that hole was not there at all.

The first time he showed you the Weave, it was like nothing you had ever felt before. There was no pain, no exertion. No gritting of teeth, no agony of toil. It felt like floating in warm water. It felt like your mother holding you in the cradle of her arms, the gentle rhythm of her heart beat, when you were small and she was healthy and you were still together. It felt like rest. And so it was, all the times when he touched you, every kiss he left on your skin which lingered inside you like a flame. He was rest.

He looked at you like you had saved him. But you could not understand it. How could anyone help but love a man like him? There was no malice or cruelty in him. If there was any shadow of Mystra, any inkling of hubris, it was not difficult to steer him from it, or to speak to the fear that lay underneath. To love him was like breathing. It was not a skill you had to master, a performance you had to train for, a habit you had to beat into yourself. It felt easy. And that terrified you.

His love for you terrified you even more. It did not demand from you, always pushing for more than you thought you could give. Ever sharpening and honing you like a blade, chipping away at you until you were more, enough, worthy. It was like being buoyed by the Weave. You did not need to struggle to stay afloat. You did not have to swim against it to survive. You could just be.

No one had ever looked at you, or touched you, or loved you like that. So you had explained it away to yourself. Perhaps he was simply grateful. Thankful to be seen and loved for the man he was, a person to be cherished rather than a life to be used. Flattered that you would fight for him. Enamoured with your prowess in combat. Driven by the threat of imminent death. You had not truly thought it would last, if you both survived the Netherbrain. You were prepared to let him go.

But he did not go. Instead, he said, “I love you, more than I’ve ever loved anyone.” And he asked you to marry him.

You do not know what to do with that.

-----

You can hear him shuffling outside the door. There is a long pause, then the smallest of knocks.

“Are you alright?” He waits, coughs. “I didn’t mean to upset you. If my words have distressed you-”

You want to hide, but the trembling in his voice is too much. You rise to your feet. As the door opens you see that his eyes are glistening and his features have fallen, as though he is on the cusp of collapse. And though the thought that you have hurt him claws at your heart, there is a wall that has sprung up inside you that you do not know how to break.

“I’m sorry.” Your words come out flat, hollow.

He steps towards you hesitantly. You can feel in the lurch of his body that he wants to embrace you, but he does not. Even in this moment, he is thinking of what you want.

“If you wish to end this, I understand. I’ll cherish everything we shared, and I’ll always love you-”

He stops, breathes in sharply, turns away. His chest heaves.

Without warning, you feel a tear roll down your cheek. One begets another, and another, until you are drowning in a flood of the hottest tears that you have ever shed. Hotter than the anguished tears you sobbed through so many nights of gnawing hunger and cramps, when you told yourself that the fight was all that mattered, that the sacrifice was all there was. That you were nothing without them.

You are almost doubled over now. You cover your face with your hands. By instinct, in shame, or in fear - you are not sure which.

“Please, go,” you choke.

“If that’s what you want. If this is the end.” His voice breaks. “I suppose this is goodbye. I always knew it was a colossal stroke of luck, to have been loved by someone like you.”

You find that you are shaking your head, over and over again, as though in a frenzy. Because you cannot lie, but you do not know what the truth is.

“No one has ever…”

He holds you with his gaze, whirling with agony, infused with love.

“I haven’t earned…” You struggle to breathe. “I’m not…”

There is a sudden flicker in his eyes. Is it recognition? When he speaks, there is longing, and the fire of resolution. He cups your face with his hands.

“I love you completely. I love everything about you, every single part of you. You never needed to earn it. You don’t need to fight for it. My love is forever yours, if you want it.”

“Gale-”

He traces his thumb over your cheek, caressing a tear away. “You love me, not for the magic I command, just as I love you, not for the fights you can win.”

You take hold of his hands. You can feel the wall crumbling now, but you are afraid of what is behind it.

“And if I lose? If I fail? If I stop training, fighting, if my muscles sag and I lose my strength? When I am nothing-”

You had not quite realised, until you spoke the words, all of the things you feared.  

“You were never nothing.” His words are so firm, so kind, that they reverberate through you. “You were always everything. And I will love you until I breathe my last, until nothing remains of me but ashes. I will never stop loving you.”

At first, you cannot be convinced of his words. How can they be true? All these years you have fought, all the times you have fallen short. Love must be a fight to be won, a standard to which you cannot measure.

But Gale’s face is bright with the sincerity that illuminates his eyes whenever he looks at you. And in that moment, you let yourself believe him. You let yourself dissolve into him, like a river flowing back into the sea, and you do not fight the current. You lose yourself in his warmth as he wraps himself around you, the smell of sandalwood and smoke, the bittersweet taste of his musk and sweat, the vibrations of his skin against yours. The stars that burst and expand inside you with every surge of his being. You are home.

“I’ll marry you,” you whisper afterwards.

And with his arms around you, you rest.

Hyrulean Force Cultivation

This is to be the beginning of my writings on basic Force Cultivation.

In The Minish Cap, we are first introduced to the concept of Force in the form of the Light Force as a power contained within Princess Zelda. In Phantom Hourglass, we learn of Life Force which is a sacred power within all living things. In the Japanese versions of the games, both are referred to simply as Force.

As has been said before, all living things contain Force. This Force powers our bodies, minds, and spirits. Some naturally contain more than others, some less. It is possible to cultivate this Force into greater vitality and power.

Force flows through our entire being and is centered in points within the internal subtle structure of the body called Force Gates. In these basic practices, we will focus on three primary gates.

Gate of Power: Located just below the navel

Gate of Courage: Located in the center of the chest near the heart.

Gate of Wisdom: Located in the area commonly known as the Third Eye.

These gates are heavily energized during the Embodying the Triforce technique and balanced. Once so Force is flowing through the body, it is important to bring it back down to the area of the Gate of Power in order to remain calm and rooted. This excess Force that has been brought into the navel can then be consolidated and stored. This will over time cultivate a container which will hold consolidated Force that can act as a battery to continue powering the body.

I like to call this container my Force Gem. Force Gems are introduced in Four Swords Adventures as crystallized Force that powers the Four Sword. The Sand of Hours in Phantom Hourglass is made of ground up Force Gems. They also appear in Spirit Tracks and empower those titular tracks.

This Force Gem you cultivate, rather than being pyramidal like in the games, will more likely be round like a ball. The process is begun by sitting in as upright a posture as the body can manage. Preferably with crossed legs on a cushion or the floor, but accommodations can be made for level of ability.

Begin by breathing through the nose deeply into the abdomen, allowing it to inflate. Exhale slowly through the nose, allowing the abdomen to deflate. Settle into yourself and find a comfortable rhythm. Raise the arms with the palms facing downward. The Force Gates in the hands serve to move and work Force like a guide. Start above the head. My favorite way to position my arms is like Rauru preparing to fire his light beam

As the arms are positioned above the head, breathe deeply. Allow the Force to sink from your head, down into your chest. Spend as long as five minutes in this position if you have the time.

Next, drop the hands to just above the chest. This will push the built up Force lower again towards the navel. Spend time in this position as well, breathing deeply.

Finally, drop one hand above the abdomen and one below, like you’re holding a ball. This will focus the Force into the abdomen where it can be consolidated.

During deep breaths, fill the abdomen with Force during inhalation. During exhalation when the abdomen is compressing, so is the Force. With every breath, fill the area of the Gate of Power seated in the center of your being with Force, then compress it with exhalation. Over time, this will begin to form the Force Gem that contains Force as abundant as the waters of Lake Hylia.

Expect this beginning step to take months or years. The Force Gem will form and grow over time until it overflows, increasing vitality and spiritual aptitude.

May the Goddess Smile Upon You

I Loved Her First! (Teaser)

(Recom! Miles Quaritch x Avatar! Reader) (Past! Human! Lyle Wainfleet x Human! Reader)

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Paz is as many things but stupid was not one of them. Since Y/n first arrived to Pandora, the Colonel was smitten. Being head security of Hell’s Gate never gave him the chance to introduce himself like he wanted to. Paz never understood what he saw in Y/n, her being not only a scientist but Dr. Grace Augustine daughter, the woman that Quaritch despised.

Right before Quaritch could make conversation, it was already too late. Lyle had asked her on a date, one date became two, and soon they made it official. Lyle had introduced Y/n to his whole squad, Quaritch heart had ache that day, seeing Y/n kissing Lyle, sitting on his lap.

Paz was always jealous of her, Paz been Quaritch pilot since she arrived to Pandora, Y/n just arrived and manage to catch the stone cold Miles Quaritch heart within seconds.

Paz knew it wasn’t a coincidence seeing Quaritch at the bar, drinking away his agony.

Just a few hours earlier. The unit did a little party, many were drinking, talking, laughing. Paz was talking with Trudy and Zee when Lyle shouted for everyone’s attention. Paz didn’t know what was going on until Lyle took out a ring and got on his knee, asking Y/n to marry him. The look of pure joy on Y/n’s face was gorgeous, even Paz could t deny that; Y/n instantly said yes. Paz didn’t know what aptitude her to peer at the Colonel.

If anybody bothered to glance at Quaritch, they would’ve seen the heartache look on his face. Quaritch excused himself after that, and Paz follows him.

Paz let him talk it out as he drunkenly admitted his feeling towards Y/n, a few drinks later… Quaritch and Paz slept together.

Paz woke up the next morning, not seeing Quaritch anywhere, not even any evidence that he was there.

Quaritch felt guilty, he didn’t understand why he did if he wasn’t with Y/n. Quaritch avoided Paz like the plague, but it didn’t last long when two months later, Paz looked for him. Paz told him she was pregnant. With his child.

An arguement happened, Quaritch denies being the child father, while Paz says it is. With her pregnancy and hormones, her emotions are all over the place.

“I always loved you” Quaritch froze at her confession. “I have tried everything to get you to notice me, but I could never be her, could I?”

Quaritch heavily sighs through his nose. He didn’t know what to say, he never seen her as anything other than a fellow soldier.

If he remembers correctly that night, it wasn’t intimate or passionate, It rough. It was just to blow off steam, he even made her face away from him, he had his eyes closed the entire time thinking of a certain (h/c).

He didn’t even stay when he finished, he instantly left, didn’t cuddle her or do any aftercare, it was just sex. It was just to take his mind off the woman he loves but could never have. Quaritch pretty sure he moaned Y/n’s name.

“Did I ever had a chance?” Paz asks, her eyes gazing at Quaritch

“No. It would always be Y/n” he answers.

His words hurt her. She already knew the answer, but it still hurts her to hear it directly from his mouth.

What does Y/n have that Paz didn’t?

(Should I or should I not?)

More pictures of human Miles Quaritch, idc idc this man is fine asf, I would let this man do whatever he wanted to to me🥵

State of decay

Rated T, 950 words

-

In the years since the Kira case, with Near at the helm, and L and Watari long since buried in the plot beside the west wing, what was once called The Wammy’s House decays.

It takes seven years to fully dismantle the program. The youngest children need to find foster homes or new families or other, carefully vetted, well-funded programs to matriculate into. The older children are graduated and placed in the best universities around the world—set to become the everyday successes of tomorrow. Tsinghua, Juilliard, Cairo, LSE, UCLA, Tohoku, ETH Zurich, Oxford. The residual funds are allocated appropriately to make sure that everyone is well taken care of. Study funds and stipends, merit grants and insurance.

Personally, Near sees to the edge cases. Kids who, according to the headmasters and the instructors, never lived up to the promise of their aptitude testing—the weak, the attention deficit, the headcases. He speaks to each one—Do you want to live alone? Do you want to learn a skill and work? Do you want to go back to where they found you? What are your medical needs.

It’s dispassionate work that he takes on in his limited spare time. The dismantling of the program was not necessarily his idea, but he saw it to the end.

By 2024, L Lawliet has been dead for almost two decades. Enough time for a child to grow and have a child of their own. Near has no children—will never and can never—and finds this fact amusing.

At exactly 13:23 GMT on 21 October, 2024, Near celebrates a homecoming of sorts.

—

The grounds have been left to wither. The estate is unsellable—or, nobody wants to bother selling it to a Silicon valley expat or a London financier’s portfolio. After all, it was a school. Renovations would be required.

When Near is driven into town and left there—”I’ll get there from here, thank you,”—he overhears, in a quiet cafe, that the children think the mansion on the hill is haunted. “Halloween” is an American holiday that is not celebrated in England. The evening is foggy and limpid. The sky threatens an afternoon rain.

He arrives at the wrought iron gates at 15:13. He knows there is nothing for him, here. But he’s already been given this time to pay his respects. A holiday of sorts. Never in the past twenty years has he kneeled before graves. He expects he won’t today, either. There is nobody here to pay respects to. Mello is buried in an unmarked plot in a quiet district of Tokyo. The stake on the eastern edge of the property in Winchester—In Memoriam, Mihael Keehl—is growing moss. Near stops by this landmark, first. Many colleagues and coworkers, commanding officers and cadets, have died since Mello. Near has not kept track of many of their names.

Mello’s memorial has not been cared for. They stopped sending groundskeepers to the property in 2019. Near carries a book in one hand, his plastic cane in the other. He stares at the spike, leans on the arm brace, and considers the most respectful acknowledgment of this memorial. This isn’t what he came here to do. Mihael Keehl—no, Mello—has been dead for more than a decade. In that time, Near has solved more than five hundred cases. A-Kira. The Hong Kong murders. The Dubai trafficking ring. A few stray Death Notes.

In the years elapsed, the loss has simmered. Like soup, which Near has seen others make (his current boyfriend is fond of cutting the mirepoix into centimeter by centimeter cubes) the thought of Mello is turbid and wafts around him constantly. However, there is no room for the what if. There is only the course the universe bent, that day.

Near, in his own way, has paid his respect. Said his thank yous, if he owes any thanks. He bows, as far as he can manage, to the spiritless grave. He does not kneel.

In Tokyo, Mello’s bones are likely rusting, rotting in the temperate soil. Were he buried here, at 51° latitude, he may still have his skin, in death. But this is unimportant. He would not wish to be buried here.

Near bows, and says two prayers for the dead. He knows a Latin version as well as a Hebrew. To this day, he does not know if Mello died religious—died believing in any gods beyond those he had met and been scorned by.

“Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.”

“יִתְגַּדַּל וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא.”

He adds a hymn Mello might have sung for his parents in the dialect he most likely spoke before his life as a successor began.

“Святой Юмо, Святой Куатле, Святой Колыдымо, мемнам серлаге.”

Near has been told not to pass judgment on the irrationality of faith, so he has learned the hymns. The grass grows tall around Mello’s stake.

One year, Near had gotten angry about it. Back when he was twenty one or twenty two—inconsequential—and awake for forty hours, Near had raged at a silent room over it, and never again. And the anger was not about the death, nor about Near’s inheritance, his duty. Not Mello’s mistakes nor his sacrifice. Likely, looking back with the hindsight and wisdom of a man ten years older, Near images he experienced as much grief as he was capable of, that night. There was no grave to stand over, and there was no body, in the small room in Cape Canaveral when Near was twenty one. No surviving images of him. No letters nor notebooks. The bout of rage, insanity, grief (he cautions to call it) was triggered by a smell (something sweet burning), of all things. And had subsided with the yellow dawn.

The frustration was likely at being left alone. Of his own inefficacy in his first trial, and the acknowledgement that a man like Mello had deserved to live to see more days. Had deserved better than a pine wood stake on a lonely corner of the grounds of the school where he was raised and an unmarked plot in Adachi City, Tokyo.

Next, Near walks slowly towards the house itself. A jackrabbit sprints across the lawn in front of him. A hawk circles to the north. 

[pooepw]

i am so deep into arcanum. although i have not beaten the game yet, i feel as though i can give some thoughts on the game as i have played it so far. the detail in this game is extreme.

when i streamed this game, i first selected the deal with the devil background because i wanted the free magick capabilities at a cost i did not feel mattered (alignment). after getting stuck at the gate encounter, i felt like resetting. i reset and started as someone trying to do guns. i did not get too far into the game before ending that stream. since that stream, i have been playing with an unofficial patch (meaning i had to restart again), and with this reset, i tried the path of magic once again, selecting less passive abilities this time. i have had much success with this; it feels like any encounter with enemies is manageable. i primarily use summoning and fire for combat, but the teleportation spell has enabled me to cheese any kind of traveling i had to perform. oh yeah, i also resurrected a guard and tried to resurrect virgil, who i lost again, but took too long to save. using fireflash on everyone is like playing fallout 2 with a missile launcher the whole time that never misses and never runs out of ammo. using hellgate IS having the ability to call forth a deathclaw from fallout 1; it is FULLY parallel, with the beast attacking several times in a turn for a bunch of damage and having a bunch of health.

getting back to the detail, the reputation system in this game is astounding. i noticed that there is a reputation tab in my journal, which i have yet to fill, so the reputation i am referring to is the aptitude towards tech and magic. although it is not specifically regarded as reputation, the feelings produced by the npcs that interact with you mold it into your reputation. i cannot even use the train anymore to travel across the land nor do business with certain npcs all because i am too magical.

not to mention alignment. because i am a summoner, i rely heavily on the hellgate spell because the demon is a powerful character to use, which has made my alignment rather negative. from the last time i checked, i had a -79 in alignment even though i have not done any really bad things in the game. (well there was that one time i killed a dwarf leader that i had a pleasant chat with and got him to like me because i needed his glasses).

i may decide to stream a new playthrough on the last day of the year since i have learned much about this game after the streams i did of it. i would try to specialize more in tech and weaponry.

How to Prepare for GATE & UPSC Engineering Services Exam (ESE)

Hello, future engineers! If you’re planning to crack the GATE or UPSC Engineering Services Exam (ESE), you probably already know these are two of the most competitive exams in India. Whether you’re studying at a reputed college of engineering and technology in Bhubaneswar or preparing on your own, success in these exams requires a mix of smart strategies, consistent effort, and the right resources. Let’s break down how you can ace these exams step by step.

Understanding the Exams

Before diving into preparation, it’s crucial to understand what these exams demand:

GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering): Primarily tests your technical knowledge in your engineering domain, along with general aptitude and mathematics. It is often used for M.Tech admissions and PSU jobs.

UPSC ESE (Engineering Services Exam): Focuses on both technical and non-technical aspects, including general studies, engineering aptitude, and subject-specific knowledge. It leads to prestigious government engineering roles.

Both exams are challenging but achievable with the right mindset and preparation plan.

Step-by-Step Preparation Strategy

1. Know the Syllabus Inside Out

Start by downloading the official syllabus for GATE or ESE. Break it down into manageable sections and identify overlapping topics if you’re preparing for both exams simultaneously. For example, subjects like fluid mechanics or thermodynamics are common across many streams.

2. Gather Quality Study Materials

Stick to one standard book per subject instead of juggling multiple resources. For GATE, books like “Strength of Materials” by R.K. Bansal or “Digital Logic” by Morris Mano are popular choices. For ESE, also include materials that cover general studies and current affairs.

3. Create a Study Plan

Divide your preparation into phases:

Phase 1: Complete the syllabus while making detailed notes.

Phase 2: Solve previous years’ question papers.

Phase 3: Take mock tests and revise thoroughly.

If you’re studying at an institution like NMIET in Bhubaneswar, make use of their well-equipped libraries and faculty guidance to plan your schedule effectively.

Tips for GATE Preparation

Focus on Core Subjects: GATE is more about depth than breadth. Concentrate on high-weightage topics like mathematics, control systems (for ECE/EE), or design (for mechanical).

Solve Previous Year Papers: This will help you understand the exam pattern and types of questions asked.

Take Mock Tests: Regular mock tests improve speed, accuracy, and time management. Analyze your performance after each test to identify weak areas.
