I seek forgiveness, and I ask for prayers too

Please don’t torment me in my inbox with the following:

# How can I prepare for the BCS exam? (I’ve written everything I had to write, said everything at various career discussions. There’s nothing more to add. I stopped talking about BCS preparation in my inbox even before I was born!)

# A thousand BCS-related hassles and queries (I’m not a BCS expert. Under the pressure of my studies, I haven’t had time to research BCS.)

# NSI/Registration exams and countless other PSC exams, bank jobs, studying abroad, and millions of job-related questions (In my entire life, I’ve taken only one job exam: the 30th BCS. Apart from this single BCS exam, I know nothing about any other exam in this world.)

# What style did you study in? How many hours did you study? Did you come on Facebook then? How long did you sleep at night? Did you keep books on the table while eating? How long did it take you to shower?… blah blah blah!! (Lest someone asks, “Brother, did you wear pink underwear when you went for your BCS viva?” Out of this fear, I’ve stopped talking about viva attire!! Figure out the rest!)

# How can I improve concentration in studies? (Obviously by cursing Facebook and staying a hundred million miles away from it!)

# A thousand and one career-related questions! (Let your career go to hell! What’s it to me! My inbox isn’t dedicated to your career.)

# Making study routines for others (If you were in front of me, I’d just pick you up and slam you down!)

# I’m studying in such-and-such year. How can I start preparing for BCS from now? (Please go to my notes and read what I’ve written after spending hundreds of hours. Watch my various career discussion videos on YouTube. If you don’t have time to read or watch them, soak some puffed rice in Sprite and eat it.)

# I’m weak in math/English. How can I overcome my weakness, please advise. (You’re weak because you’ve been enjoying yourself instead of studying. What can I do about it?)

# Starting with “Brother, how are you” and then asking for BCS guide names (I’ve stopped exchanging pleasantries in my inbox out of fear these days.)

# Seeking advice for boyfriend-related problems (If you have problems with your BF, there’s only one path open to you: come dancing to me. I’ll hide you lovingly in my chest and never cause any trouble. I know nothing beyond this.)

# Give me the link to your such-and-such writing, PDF your such-and-such writing and send it to this email address (If you had even 10% of the notes I have, what would you tell someone who asked you to do this?)

# How can I write like you? How can I get results like you? (Mujtaba Ali was once asked, “How do you write so well, could you tell me a bit!” “I can at most show you my child. But if you ask me to show the childbirth process, that’s trouble!”… that was his answer!!)

# Give me some good movie and book names. (I’ve made many posts about this, written notes. Please take the trouble to search and see them. If you don’t have time, ask Google uncle.)

# Why are you silent about such-and-such topics? Why aren’t you writing anything? (When and where did I sign a bond saying I’ve taken responsibility for saving this world?)

# Extremely annoying requests to “make me your Facebook friend”!! (Why should I? Who are you? Why do you need to be my friend for my posts? All my posts are public anyway. Who are you that I should make you a friend? Are you an ugly wise person? Or a beautiful fool? Who are you exactly? Or are you someone I know?)

# Give me your phone number. (I won’t. I don’t sit around waiting to discuss career nonsense with you over the phone. Don’t bother me about this.)

Thousands of other types of questions, personal/family/social/state problems, demands, complaints, grievances, and my head, their umbrella!! Sometimes I feel like getting married out of heartbreak and becoming a hermit singing songs, “My beloved gourd has made me…”

Kidding apart, I really don’t enjoy writing about these career, BCS/IBA preparation, motivational matters. I love writing about the tensions of human relationships, thinking about various social responsibilities, telling tales of love and romance. If you asked me to name my five favorite pieces of writing, maybe I’d mention one that’s about career/preparation strategies/motivation. Yet I write, don’t I? For whom do I take such trouble to find time and write? For you all! Why must I be tormented beyond this? It’s not possible for any normal, healthy human being to reply to this volume of inbox messages. I humbly ask you to forgive me. If you can’t forgive me, I’ll block you. I really do it and will continue to do so—I do mean it! I can’t see the necessary messages anymore these days. Everyone just misunderstands… I’m extremely irritated!! I’m not on Facebook taking the noble responsibility of teaching you online or counseling you. Enough is enough. Just stop it on my inbox!!
