How IPL cost me 6 attempts in my CA and how can you ESCAPE the trap??

- The IPL is all fun. But not for CA students. Especially if you're writing a MAY exam in CA. I lost 6 attempts in my CA journey to the hold of the IPL. I had to undergo a lot of depression and troubles just because I couldn't control myself from watching this beautiful format of cricket.
If you're currently preparing for CA exams this May, but you couldn't escape the trap at 6pm every day, then this video is for you.

Hello Sir . I am a ca student . Well not an ideal one . I too like you scored very high marks till 12th just studying a day before exam with bare minimum efforts. But then I enrolled for ca but didn’t change myself . Failed ca foundation in my first attempt despite scoring 98.6% in my 12th boards . The reason of failure is that I didn’t study . Wasted entire 6 months on social media , phone addiction and some other very very bad habits . I thought I would change after facing failure but to my surprise , I got even worse . I got more addicted . Passed foundation by luck purely in next attempt . So far already 2 attempts in foundation . Then I thought now in intermediate it will be a new start for my life and I was happy for a week or two . But as you can guess , I got addicted even more and more . Didn’t pick up a book for 9 months straight. Bought expensive lectures of top faculties but didn’t watch and now that validity will be over soon , all that money of my parents will be wasted . I have immeasurable amount of guilt , shame and regret . Now I can’t think clearly and even read and write . I just overthink 24x7 . I have wasted past 4 years of my life completely by being an addict. My brain is deep fried completely. Now I am at scratch , intermediate attempt is in 30 days and I have decided to skip this attempt. Next attempt will be in September according to new policy so I have 4 months to start from scratch and redeem myself . I am completely clueless and confused on how to proceed further in life . How do I deal with this regret and guilt of wasting past 4 years of my life ? How should I even restart again at this point ?
Hi Gurjot, I read your message. Here’s what I can say.
The Positives:
You have the courage to share your story in a public forum.
You have the awareness of at least where you stand in life and genuinely wanting to save yourself.
You are being precise in articulating your issue. You have great communication skills.
The Problems: (almost all of them are similar to me)
You’re stuck in the past. You’re even romanticizing it. That’s what making you fall into guilt trap again and again.
And you think there’ll be a glorious future. (signs of perfectionism. And that’s what has led you to think to quit this attempt so you can come out victorious in the next attempt.)
You’re telling that you’ve wasted 4 years. I would say it looks like that. But it’s not. This happened for a reason. It will make sense in the future. Maybe in 5-6 years of time or much sooner. But you have to blindly believe and hold some patience.
Actionable points:
If you have any thought pattern like you can skip this attempt because by September you can write both groups and come out as a rankholder, drop that idea. That’s an illusion.
Drop the idea of skipping the May attempt. You still have 4 more weeks. Definitely definitely write this attempt.
Pick only one group (good that now CA Inter has only 3 papers per group).
Study every day for 6-8 hours. Don’t aim for 12-13 hours. It’s not sustainable (at least for your current self). Watch whatever the classes that’s validity is left and is relevant for your group.
Don’t aim to finish the full portion in those 3 papers. Pick the most important 40% of the portions in each paper and try to cover them 4-5 times (repeat revision). Be fully thorough with MTP1 & MTP2 of this attempt & RTP of this attempt.
This way you can definitely clock some 200-250 hours of quality preparation over the next 4-5 weeks, if you keep a target of clocking 6-8hours per day.
Go to the exam with zero expectations. Be okay with any result that you think you’re going to get (since you’ve already decided to skip this attempt, this result won’t matter anyway, right?) But just have the experience of what it feels to write an Inter exam. You may not know the answers for all the questions. But just write whatever answers you knew and give your best for those.
Just follow this and you’ll be surprised with the marks you’ll get in this May attempt. (I’m not guaranteeing you’ll clear. We’ll never know that in CA till we see the actual result!)
But let’s just say, you’re getting only 120 marks out of 300 (and you missed aggregate by 30 marks), it’s still a validation of your preparation for just 4 weeks. You’ll be proud of yourself with the effort you put and the marks you got. That’ll give immense confidence for your September attempt.
And finally, throw the smartphone away. Focus on your physical health. Do some form of workout for 20 mins a day (not more than that!) and compulsorily get some sunlight every day first thing in the morning.
Focus on the next 6-7 weeks of your life. We can worry about September after the end of May exam.
@@CAHareesh thanks a lot sir for your guidance. I too think that perfectionism is getting in my way . From now on for sometime I should just focus on minimising the damage already caused and then also gain knowledge so that I can get a decent articleship experience and gain knowledge. I will try to get my affairs in order in next 4 weeks by hook or crook . Thanks a lot for replying sir .
@@gurjotsingh5312 hello sir I am in 12 could you give me some advise like how can I score good marks in twelve i didn't study much in 11 and i am in 12 now so sir could you give some advise like answer writing technique or some tips in accounts pls
@@user-sk5tl1mn4p Hey! I scored 96 marks in Accountancy in 12th boards and only because of sunil panda sir CZcams channel.
Just blindly follow him and make sure to make notes of every class and revise them.
@@user-sk5tl1mn4p I just watched ca Parag Gupta channel in depth and followed his tips . Other CZcams teachers never clicked with me , paraggupta sir has good knowledge. I would say follow them and as for books I used to Grewal and some sample paper book . Main thing is concept .
This guy really wants us to not to make those mistakes which he did, it takes guts to share your mistakes and guide others towards a correct path
Hey thank you for the kind words.
I am an ACCA student and i am going through this phase now .Hope i can come back and concentrate on studies by following ur advice
This video is an entire saviour!
Thank you so much sir✨
Happy to help :)
Life lessons are best lesrnt from those have "been there done that"... kudos hareesh.. appreciate your effort in trying to make a difference.. will inspire so many people, students and otherwise
Thank you so much for the kind words, Balaji. Means so much.
Ur stories are inspiring not just CS aspirants...
Thank you madam!
Brother I'm going to write my 3rd attempt of CA Inter, I definitely tell you that IPL and World Cup cost my 2 attempts of CA Inter. Now, for this attempt, I completely avoid social media except CZcams and Telegram for study purposes. While on this CA journey, I really wanted to have a big brother like you. Your videos are really inspiring me! Keep posting and guiding us.
Much appreciate the comment. Glad you are staying focused. All the best.
I watched nly few matches for worldcup u need to have a set target and finish and then u can watch no issue in enjoying your breaks
@@Mgking107but what the problem is, I can't resist myself only to watching matches,i scrolling social media about the match and got into wasting the day, For someone like me it's better to avoid completely until exams.
Hello sir.This is Sushmita not from India but I'm pursuing CA inter right now and I need ur help.I belong to middle class family where parents r always curious about ur results.Yes I was a talent girl in my +2and even I was first girl,a captain, all-rounder and confident.
But due to the belief that I'll ofcourse complete lectures (online platform)on time ..what's big deal for that...but I have to skip attempt because I didn't complete on time.I cried in front of my dad.They don't know the actual reason that I skipped because I didn't complete lectures on time.I promised that it won't happen again.
Next attempt...I was left with 50 days after the completion of my lectures as I took online classes and I decided I am going for group 2 ..here it has tax,cost,finance and BCM.I completed my tax in maybe 25 days.Then I start finance after two chapters done...I was left with one week but when I again look at those chapters I forget it.I have the need to revise it again...but when am I going to do cost and bcm.I panicked and day after tomorrow I have exam sir.I didn't study from yesterday.Im in grief now.
I am crying from yesterday sounds childish not showing to my family.I know day after tomorrow my parents would be waving bye and best of luck and after 3 hrs of exam they would be calling me from home to know how the exam went.I don't want it .They r not allowing me to work even a single work.I cannot bear this .
I was not like this before sir,I don't know what went wrong..even I have not gone anywhere except one day out for my friends wedding but for these whole 6 m I was in home ...I don't know.Theres noone whom I can say.My parents r expecting good result this time cause I skipped a attempt before.I now think I don't deserve them.i hope I could have u as my friend aside me but I don't know what's happening.I really want to get out of this.
hey i'm sorry to hear about your situation and I have been in your same place so many times. Parents not letting you do any other work and you still miss to deliver. I know it hurts. But I would say, just acknowledge the grief and do what you can do next. And also, stop being so harsh on yourself. Just let go of whatever happened in the past and do what you can do next.
For that, you have to stop personalizing your failures. yes, you skipped an attempt. that's a bad outcome. but that doesn't define you as a bad person. yes, you missed to finish online lectures. that's a bad outcome again. but that doesn't define you as a bad person.
So, in that connection, I have made a couple of videos previously, which I believe will be more appropriate for you. Do check them and let me know if you still have unanswered questions.

Hello sir , I am Tanishka and in this june I will give my 4th attempt of foundation exam . Because whenever I used to study or just think about studying I feel that I know everything about this chapter and while watching lecture also I feel that I know everything thing about this chapter but problem is that wheni solve question I feel that i missed something or some concepts so I again watch lecture and loop goes on so now I am confused and there is no one to guide because in first attempt due to my father health condition I couldn't clear he was 3 month in bed rest then in 2nd attempt i started for preparing may 2023 attempt from the chapter which i already know . In 3rd attempt I started working in school and gave my 3rd attempt. I am not albe to fig out what is the really problem is .
@@poopergandaHy Tanishka, I hope you are doing well.
So 1st of all if you are unable to figure out what is the problem then I will recommend that 1st read ICAI SM and try to slove all SM questions so you will know your weaker area and then only watch these chapters with keeping in mind that you don't know anything about this chapter and start with scratch after this slove same question and you will see you can slove these questions better than previous.
Insted of asking and holding your beliefs on someone else's opinions. Pick a pen & paper
1. Write things that affects you
2. Write things that is in your control
3. Write things how you will deal with it.
4. And most importantly, write your gratitude. You are not waste so much time. You can still make it. And just believe in yourself you have FAMILY that believe in you... Best of luck.
Well said Hareesh
sir, what are your suggestion about other activites? for example, i love reading these japanese comics called "Manga". Is it a wise idea to read a bit at the end of my day after all my study sessions, or should i drop doing that?
you can very well read comics. it's anyday better to end a day with comics than to scroll endlessly affecting your sleep onset.
The every single aspect that included in your video are much more relatable to me ...
Basically I am science student who going to write neet exam on 5th of may ( sad part is I know..i won't make it this time too like my previous 2 attempts )
Till 11 th i was a good student but after that online shifting of studies and my mobile addiction , ipl , world cups badly affects on my preparation..and wasted almost 3 years .....( one thing neet is not my kind of thing ) ..Now I wants to prepare for CA ...sir can i start from here because already dropped 2 years for neet and now i don't want to study this anymore....now I'm thinking of CA because there is maths and maths related stuffs and I am pretty good at maths ....but i don't understand whether to take CA or not ( complete different from what I studied till 12 th and fear of failure ) ..sir please give advise to me because I'm 60 to 70 percent sure that I want to do it and 30 percent is just fear of failure....sir need advise...and I hope you will give some ...!!
See, almost anyone with a basic sense of numbers and economics can do CA. There are a lot of people who took up science stream in higher secondary, wanted to do medicine, couldn't crack the entrance test, switched to CA, cleared in 4-5 years and became so well settled in life.
So, you do have a chance. Rule out the impossibility. But it's not easy. definitely not. You need another level of dedication. Let's roughly say, it takes 4000-4500 hours of dedicated effort over the next 4-5 years. If you believe you can do it, then you can switch over.
I think u bet in ipl matches
Otherwise no one sits for 4 hours and watch every single ball
I'm a 90s kid, man. I have patience to watch a full test match too.
Bhai tune kabhi match nhi dekhi isliye nhi pta even log test me bhi ek ek ball dekhte h
@@someoneyoudontknow____ no bro
I m watching and playing cricket from last 7 years
But watch every single ball only when i bet
@@millionaireclub9899 bhai 7 sal phir kesa fan h tu me last 2 year se dekhna st kara lekin addict ho gya 😭
IT'S A TRAP BRO ALTOGETHER
Hello sir at what age did you clear your CA Exams

@@CAHareesh sir kya achi jobs mil jaegi after multiple attempts in CA Inter but if I clear CA final in 1st attempt at age of mid 25
Hi brother i started working out at gym since 16 iam 19 now ,through out the years iam in my best shape ever in my life iam healthy and gained a lot of muscle. But the problem is commuting to the gym and working out easily cost around 3 hours and mealpreping consume alot of time i lost most of my time due to this but i feel so bad when i stopped working out for past 1.5months and the worst thing is i got body dismorphia and started to feel insecure about my physique when i lost my progress which i had gained in the gym,and i already failed in my ca foundation one time and iam going to give my foundation exam in june 2024 but didn't prepared well because of this can you suggest me some ideas to overcome the time management problem and do you think that quitting gym until i clear foundation may be good idea
Hey even I'm much conscious about my physical health. See, there are a lot of ways you can remain fit without going to the gym. Even I used to go to the gym and yes, it does take a lot of time. What I would suggest is you definitely make time for working out. Like 45mins to 1 hour per day. Do jump ropes for cardio, yoga for flexibility and balance, and other bodyweight exercises for strength. You can do all of them right at home. I leave the full details to you.
That way you can save your commute time to the gym. You can follow this program, in fact, till you clear entire CA. 3 hours per day is quite so much for working out and meal preparation. You do need to cut down on that. I hope this helps.
Thanks brother
All your videos keep motivating me ❤😊
My pleasure! and All the very best.
sir do you have any community or forum for CA students?
Thank you for the comment. But I don't prefer to maintain or participate in community or focus group. Nothing against focus groups, it's just not my preference.
