Here's the story of what I did with my weekend, last weekend, when I went to see Nish Kumar perform. Obviously, due to my severe allergy to brevity, this post also involves quite a few years worth of backstory about my own life. It's a long, over-emotional, self-indulgent post. Here's a cut.

Also, I'm too tired to edit it. Sorry. Oh, and spoiler warning for a punchline for Nish Kumar's current tour show. Don't read if you haven't seen that show but are planning to (which you should be).

The first time I heard the material from Nish Kumar’s current show, it was late 2023, and I was in the process of making a very difficult decision. I’ve written (far too much) about this part of my life on this blog before, that I’d spent the majority of my life immersed in the sport of wrestling. Started it when I was 14, it pretty much saved my life after I’d spent my childhood with no friends and no communication abilities, I was barely on the cusp between the “will probably graduate high school and be able to hold a job someday” type of autistic, and the “probably not ever going to really function in society” type of autistic (obligatory disclaimer: yes obviously I know this is a massive oversimplification of how the autism spectrum works). I was failing high school, I had significantly below-average abilities in all the “gym class”-type sports, I never spoke to anyone, including the doctors that my parents kept taking me to to try to fix it.

Then I joined a wrestling team, in 2004, and it was the first tine in my life that I’d been good at something (besides creative writing, which I had a talent for as a kid, but that was never a social hobby, and never translated into good grades or anything that affected my life). The first time I could join a community of people and meet them on an even playing field, feel like I was the same type of person as everybody else, like I had the same basic human capacity. It was the only place I’d ever been where I didn’t feel “disabled”, didn’t feel like I was several years younger than the people who were my age, didn’t feel like I was the only person who had no idea what was going on. I made friends there. I was part of the community. After a life of being last in gym class and last in academic grades and last to find somewhere to sit at school when everyone else could just go with their friends, I was one of the best athletes on this team. I went to my first tournament and won a gold medal there and I knew this was the only thing I’d ever want to do with my life again.

Also, I could not get over how good it felt, physically. I work in the field of autism support now, and the more autistic people I meet through work – people who run the whole spectrum of different traits and different abilities and functioning levels – the more I think wrestling is a sport that’s just made for a lot of autistic people. Obviously not every single autistic person – different autistic people have different sensory needs, and some of them don’t care about proprioception, and some of them can’t stand to be touched. But so many of the autistic kids and adults I’ve worked with are clearly in sensory heaven if I can wrap them up tightly in something, let them push/pull back and forth against some resistance, pick them up and throw them around. I think they should all be on wrestling teams.

I remember the first time I got into a wrestling match, it just flicked some switches in my brain, turned off some frantic spinning gears in there that I’d previously not even realized were hurting me, because I’d never known anything else. Like my brain had spent 14 years desperately trying to find a tolerable sensory experience, and I didn’t know what it was like to be okay until I finally got that extreme propriosensory back-and-forth that felt like freedom. And I was good at it. And they liked me there. Whatever was going on in my life, I could get on the mat and turn everything else off and for a few minutes I’d stop being angry and scared and confused and depersonalized, and I felt like a real person.

So I stayed with it. Competed seriously for years, made it to a relatively high level, and the moment I got old enough, I started coaching. I started coaching right out of high school – several years before I stopped competing, I did both at the same time through university – because all I wanted to do was take what the sport had given me, and give it back to other people. I thought about all the kids like me, thirteen years old and scared and confused and having no idea that there’s a place where they fit, and I wanted to do everything I could to make sure they all found it too and had a good experience. I really wanted to make sure of that, especially given that, throughout high school, I’d stuck with the sport even when my team got taken over by a horribly abusive coach. I wanted to give the younger people something better than that, a chance to have the sport save them without having to put up with its bad side, the way I had. I got myself a reputation as a coach who was very, very protective of my athletes. Possibly overprotective, at times.

One year for my birthday, my best friend/teammate/co-coach gave me a pen with the words “loose cannon” on it, because that was my nickname. A nickname I’d gained from how hard I’d fight for my athletes. Against other coaches, other teams, other forces in the sport that I saw as abusive, dangerous, misogynistic (it was a co-ed sport, but of course most teams have more men than women on them, though it’s getting better – when I was young I was often the only girl on my team, while now it’s more balanced), predatory, or just fucking toxic. Obviously my friends and co-coaches didn’t like that stuff either, but they were smarter about it than I was. They picked their battles, they played the political games, they made small talk with the coaches we didn’t like during board meetings, in an effort to build relationships and work toward the larger goal. While I just didn’t have it in me to do that. I tried, sometimes, to play the game. But more than once I ended up yelling at someone in a hallway because I just couldn’t pretend I wasn’t furious at what they could get away with. Hence the “loose cannon” nickname.

This went on for years. There’s so much corruption, so much bad stuff, but I also met and mentored so many younger athletes who were worth fighting for, whom I would fucking die for. Last year I went to the wedding of a guy whom I started coaching when I was 20 and he was 14. When I was 25 and he was 19, I burned my bridges with my own former university coaches, by driving him home from a tournament without telling them (he was supposed to be their athlete by then), because they were treating him like shit, they gave the guy an eating disorder. Last year he got married and I watched him on the dance floor, surrounded by his family and all dressed up and wrapped in the Palestinian flag and looking the happier than I've ever seen anyone look (he and his large family are Palestinian… this wasn’t some weird cultural appropriation thing), and he grabbed me and told me he’ll never forget the things I did that allowed him to get here. That I was his rock during his hardest times as he grew up, that it was my guidance through the sport that made him focused enough to even graduate high school and get his life together, and now he's successful and married and it doesn't matter how some bad things happened to him in the sport, because that sport made him who he is and now he gets to have all these good things in life. That makes it worth it, right? That kind of outcome is worth the way I go out and start fights and burn bridges like a loose cannon, isn't it? I do it for a reason, because I really believe that when athletes get to come through the sport with someone properly looking out for them, good things happen.

But it came at a major cost. I spent years banging my head against this wall of poison that runs all through the community. The sexual predators who can barely be described with the term “open secret” because there’s not a single person who doesn’t know what they’ve done, and yet we all have to sit there in those venues and watch them receive their coaching and/or reffing awards. The financial corruption. The horrible rhetoric and ideas that get instilled in athletes so young. The physical and psychological abuse. The number of times I’ve broken down in tears because we came so close to getting some justice, but it fell apart at the last minute, and the person gets away with it again.

Obviously March 2020 put a stop to the sport, because it turns out there isn’t any socially distanced way to do it. I mean, it put a stop to the sport, officially. Most teams just kept training illegally, as my Facebook feed filled up with coaches and refs from across the country, posting about how COVID is a conspiracy, meant to keep them from training because the government wants to keep people weak. More and more conspiracy theories, more and more putting children in danger by running illegal practices. More and more Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson getting shared. I looked at Facebook and realized this is who I’ve thrown my lot in with. This is the community I’ve dedicated my life to for over 15 years, and when shit actually got bad in the world, my people were the ones making it worse. By being part of them, I was on the wrong side.

So I had an existential crisis, which I dealt with by burying my head very deeply in British comedy, and completely ignoring everything else. I lost touch with people. All my friends were through the sport, and I lost touch with them. Even as things started to open up post-lockdown, and my team started running practices legally, I didn’t go back. I thought it was too early, just because it was legal doesn’t meant it was genuinely safe, and I didn’t like that my friends didn’t seem to care. So I kept watching British comedy. I made a Tumblr blog to make new friends, online friends, friends who have my nerdy interests in common with me and are on the right side of history. I resigned as president of the board for my team, a position I’d held for years pre-pandemic.

I eventually did try to go back. I went to a practice and it felt terrible – I didn’t know these people anymore, and they didn’t know me. This thing that I’d always valued because it felt like a home to me, it felt like a place where I belonged – I’d been gone so long that it wasn’t that anymore. It was unfamiliar and weird and in my absence, the culture had changed. There was a lot more right-wing sentiment in the room – previously, that was something common in the sport across the country, but we kept it out of our own team. My friend/co-coach told me that it was my influence that had kept the culture in our team so progressive before, and me being gone so long was part of why it had changed. The other part, of course, is that it was full of boys, from teenagers to mid-twenties, who had just spent two years stuck at home with nothing to do but listen to Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. It was a different world. A lot more overt sexism, a lot more toxic attitudes, even in our own room.

I went back and forth, trying to go for a bit, not getting on well. I went and coached nationals in 2023, and it was horrible, because I didn’t really know the people, I didn’t belong there, and I remembered all the years when I had belonged there. I coached at quite a high competitive level, back when I was doing it. Got several national champions, in the late teens/early 20s age groups. Got some international champions.

By fall 2023, I went back to a few practices, but I just couldn’t handle it anymore. I remember sitting in my bedroom after a practice, thinking about all the things I didn’t like there, and thinking it might finally be time to walk away for good. Before then, I couldn’t have imagined this. In 2020 and 2021, I saw this comedy obsession as a break from my real life, I never had any doubt that I’d get back to it. I could not imagine a future without it. That day in fall 2023 was the first time I ever imagined that I could go the entire rest of my life without ever having this again. It was sad and terrifying.

That was when I first heard some of Nish Kumar’s then-new material. He had a story about getting into an argument with Jimmy Carr the year before, yelling at him for going on Jordan Peterson’s podcast. Said that James Acaster, afterward, asked him “What the fuck is wrong with you?” Not because James disagreed that Jordan Peterson is bad and going on his podcast is bad, but because yelling at someone about it is clearly not helpful, and it goes against what you’re supposed to do. You’re supposed to know all the “open secrets” about who does bad things, behind closed doors and/or on massively popular podcasts, but when you meet them in public you’re supposed to make polite small talk, and when you watch them win awards, you’re supposed to smile and pretend that’s fine. And if you want to, you can say some carefully-worded stuff to particular people, usually in private, play some political games, to try to make some incremental changes. You don’t just shout at them in person. Unless you’re a loose cannon.

So my friends kept running the team without me. Last weekend, my best friend since 2004, my former teammate and co-coach, and my current roommate (by "roommate", I mean he bought a house and lets me live in a spare room for an extremely reasonable rate of rent during a housing crisis), went to coach our team at the university national championships. That was a really big deal. That was what he and I had dreamed of doing together for years - starting an official, varsity university team in our own city, so we don't have to keep sending athletes away when they graduate high school, to be treated like shit by other coaches. We worked together for years to build the foundation for this, and just after I walked away from the sport, it came together. Now, we were competing for the first time as a full time, against all those other university teams that had fucked us over for all those years, to try to show that our way of doing things (you know, the way where we don't physically and psychologically abuse our athletes) really can beat theirs. It's what we always wanted, and he's doing it without me.

He left on Wednesday last week, to be gone until Sunday at the tournament. I was off work for a bit, and not looking forward to having all those days ahead of me to sit in an empty house of dreams I've given up on.

I have so many good things in my life right now. But I must admit, I miss the immediacy of what it was like when my life was mainly dedicated to a highly competitive level of sport. I miss standing in a corner, knowing the next thirty seconds could go one way or could go the other depending whether the athlete and I handle this right, and win or lose, we have made something happen. I miss the adrenaline, the competition, the sense that everything happening there and then matters so much. I miss being part of a community in real life, physically connecting with other people who share this thing we all love. The obsession with which I've replaced that sport - which is comedy, of course - I love it, but it's so much less tangible. Most of the way I experience it is virtual, digital, I'm not really there.

That is the best explanation I have for why I, a person whose personality usually revolves around being an obsessive planner and meticulous organizer, made an impulsive decision to pack a backpack and take a 19-hour bus ride to New York City, with bus tickets I'd just booked the day before, to see a show that I'd just seen the week before. Because the previous weekend, I'd travelled to Montreal to see Nish Kumar's current tour show, Nish Don't Kill My Vibe. It's an incredible show, I think it's one of the best stand-up hours ever. By that point, I'd seen it live twice in 2024 (once in London and once in Edinburgh, when I visited the UK last summer) and once in North America (the previous weekend, in Montreal). Getting to New York City required crossing an international border, and taking two buses, including sitting up all night. It was stupidly expensive. And yet, I decided to do it. Because instead of sitting at home in my empty house while my friend was out doing our exciting physical hobby, this means that I could make my new hobby physical and tangible too! I could go sit in a room full of other people who were doing the same thing, I could be part of something.

Is it a good justification? Not really. But like I said, it's the best I have.

There was another advantage to it, besides just getting to see the same show that I'd seen a week earlier. In Montreal, I'd brought with me a couple of things that I'd hoped to get Nish Kumar to sign. I'd never met him before (despite having seen him perform live too many times for someone who lives across the ocean from him - twice in 2022, twice in 2024, and now twice in 2025), and I figured this might be the time. But when I got to the show, I learned that they'd added a second show that night, to start right after it. So Nish wouldn't be outside and available for autographs after the show. He'd be doing the next one.

In NYC, there were again two shows in one night, but I had a ticket to the later one. So, once again, I brought the stuff for him to sign. Figured it was worth a shot.

I left my home at 2 PM. I arrived at the NYC bus terminal at 10 AM the next morning, after getting maybe half an hour of sleep on the night bus. I walked from the terminal to the 30 Rock building, the only NYC tourist-y thing that I really wanted to do, as that's one of my top few favourite sitcoms of all time. I looked around the building, took some pictures of the signs that I recognized from the 30 Rock show. Went to the basement where they had restaurants, ate some fantastic crab and shrimp rolls for lunch. Figured out Metro trains, and managed to get to my Air B&B, which was in a part of Brooklyn that I'm pretty sure has not been gentrified. I feel like I've heard things about Brooklyn being gentrified. There's a great James McMurtry song that has the line "We met up in Brooklyn before it went hipster." So that means Brooklyn is hipster now, right? The neighbourhood where I stayed did not appear to be this. But I got through the, like, 18 locks (slight exaggeration) separating the street from my room, and took a nap for a couple of hours. Then found more Metro trains. Got to the neighbourhood where the theatre is, which looked a lot more like that "hipster Brooklyn" that I hear about in songs.

I ate dinner, and then turned up to the theatre at shortly after 8 PM for a 10 PM show, thinking that maybe lots of people will be early and I'd better make sure I get a good spot. Obviously, I was the only person in the bar for over an hour. Then once people did start showing up, I had to play that awkward "general admission" game where I hang out in the lobby/bar, and try to stand near the door to the room where the show is happening so I can get in first and get a good seat, but also try not to make it look like I'm trying too hard to do that, because there's no an actual lineup, everyone else is just socializing and having a good time, as though they are here for things besides competing in a Battle Royale against all other patrons for the best possible experience of a comedy show. I much prefer the Edinburgh Festival model, where they just start a line quite early, and people can take their spot in line and enter the room in the order they arrived.

Anyway. Obviously I did manage to get front row seats (as I expected, neither Nish Kumar, nor his excellent opener Amy Annette said a word to me during the show - I was clearly sitting by myself, so I did not need to worry about the downsides of the front row like getting caught up in crowd work, and I could just enjoy the immersive experience). And then I watched the show. And I won't spend another few hundred words going on about how great the show is, because I've already done that many times, including in a post I made just after I saw it in Montreal. It was the same show as Montreal - so all the stuff I said about how incredible it was, that applies here too.

There were a few differences. He made some extra references to American stuff, because we were in America. He cut one bit that I'd quite liked, though I can see why it didn't translate as well overseas and maybe needed to be cut from the very long show. And overall, the experience was better because the audience was so much better. In Montreal, I got really annoyed with how audience members kept talking, even though I know I shouldn't have expected more from a Saturday-night crowd of mostly Taskmaster fans (not that there's anything wrong with Taskmaster fans, I myself am a huge Taskmaster fan, I'm just saying it might attract some people who are not primarily stand-up comedy fans). But in NYC, even though the show started at 10 PM on a Saturday night, there was a decent crowd that gave the material something closer to the attention it deserved. It felt like a fun, nerdy crowd. Much more what I'd want for a Nish Kumar gig, and that made the show more fun.

I do want to mention a couple of specific things from the show. One is that Nish has relatively recently added a reference, in the show, to how he got diagnosed with an anxiety disorder last year. I don't know why that always feels like such a big deal to me when he says it, but it does. There are a million comedy shows out there about anxiety, because everyone has anxiety, and I do think it's cool that everyone's talking about that a lot more often than they used to. But also, there are times when the added focus on how everyone has anxiety makes me feel self-conscious, because if everyone has anxiety, then why have I lost jobs, failed university courses, spent an entire childhood with no friends - most people have anxiety and manage to get on with life anyway, so why can't I do that?

Anxiety was the first diagnosis I ever got. I got diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder when I was seven, which I've sometimes thought seems young, until I recently told my dad about how some of my most cherished childhood memories are of how he used to sing me to sleep with James Taylor (the singer, not the Avalon agent) songs when I was very young. And he told me he's glad I remember those moments as sweet father-daughter bonding time, because in fact, he didn't sing me those songs just because he wanted me to hear James Taylor. It was because, from ages two until about six, every single night after I'd been put to bed, I would scream and cry and tell my parents that the world was going upside down, no one was allowed to touch the walls or we'd push the whole world over, and also I was going to die someday and my mother and father and brother were going to die someday and my grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins and the people who worked in the restaurants and my pre-school teacher and our neighbours and every person I'd ever met and what if they all died overnight? So my dad developed the habit of singing me songs until I fell asleep. After he reminded me of that, I stopped thinking that age seven was "too young" for me to have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. (If anyone's wondering about my stat sheet, I went on to get the OCD diagnosis at 11 and autism at 14).

Anyway. The point is that, as much as I hate to use a cheesy phrase like "representation matters" unironically, I do feel a bit of a sense of "representation matters", when I hear Nish Kumar use the words "anxiety disorder", rather than just "anxiety", when representing anxiety on stage. And then he goes into a whole routine about what it's like to be constantly afraid that you and everyone you know will die. It's excellent representation.

There was another thing he said during the NYC show, that I'd never heard him say before, in any other versions of this show. Near the end, he was talking about why he does this type of comedy, how he's trying to find other people who are scared and angry in the same way he is, and make them feel less alone. But he also said he knows that what he does isn't useful on a practical level, and he's conflicted about whether it's a good idea. None of that was new - this routine was in the show in Montreal. But in NYC, he had a new line in it, saying that he knows the things he does, such as "yelling at [his] coworkers", don't make any difference to bad things in the world. I heard him say that, and I desperately wanted to tell him, "No! No, you yelling at Jimmy Carr did help something! It helped me. Loose cannon-ing at someone isn't always about changing that one person. Sometimes it's just about showing everyone else that you care enough to stand up for them, even if you won't win. Yell at people and then tell everyone else that you did it, to inspire them, to let them know in a bleak world that someone cares enough to break a social contract over it." But of course I did not say that, because as I've established, I do not like hecklers, even well-meaning ones.

Anyway. After the show ended, I awkwardly shuffled between the bar and the performance room, wondering what would be least creepy way that I could try to orchestrate a situation in which I'd run into Nish Kumar and get him to sign the thing in the bag that I'd tightly held onto through his entire show. I saw Amy Annette talking to some people in the comedy room, and presumably those two would leave together, so I figured this meant he was still in the building. In other circumstances, I'd have loved to go up to Amy Annette and say "I think you're an excellent compere and your Edinburgh hour last year was great fun, a really entertaining way for me to hear about an experience of mid-00s teenage girl-hood that was not in any way my experience, but you made it so funny to hear about what the others were doing while I was yelling at coaches in hallways" (I would not really have said all that, but I would love to tell her I enjoyed her hour), but I had to remain focused on my original goal, and also she seemed quite engrossed in her conversation, so I did not bother her.

I could see a couple of other guys wandering around the room, clearly doing the same thing I was. Then a door opened into the backstage area, and behind it, we could catch a brief glimpse of Nish Kumar, just standing there talking to someone. I thought - okay, that's probably it, then. If he wanted to come out and meet all the fans, he'd be out here. He's hiding backstage on purpose, and understandably so! He's just done two shows in a row, those shows being nearly two hours each (minus 12-ish minutes of Amy Annette opening), he spends most of those two hours shouting and that must be exhausting, and it's midnight. I'm not about to accost a guy in those circumstances, while he's trying to hide backstage.

But those other guys who were looking for him - I watched them walk right up to that backstage door (which had now closed again), and knock on it. I thought "Fucking hell guys, that is so invasive. He clearly does not want to mingle with you. Don't do that!" And I stayed far, far away from those guys and that door, to make sure I had no part in this, I could not be associated with the people who'd behave so inappropriately. However, I didn't actually leave the room. I hung around the back of it to see what would happen, because if it did work, I wanted to piggyback on their bravery.

The door opened a crack, and I could see someone - probably venue staff - say something to those guys from the other side of it. I assumed they were being told that Nish Kumar is fucking tired, and they need to go away. I'd watch them walk away, and then I'd leave too, satisfied that I'd had an incredible night at an incredible show.

But then, the door flew all the way open, as Nish Kumar pushed past the venue staff guy, and came out to talk to those guys, a big smile on his face. He chatted with them for a while, and took several pictures with them. I watched this, trying to hang back so I didn't intrude on their moment and/or seem like I was pushing too hard to get my own moment, but also trying to stay close enough to actually get a moment before he disappeared. I quickly noticed 5 or 6 other people doing the exact same thing as I was. We eventually formed ourselves into a sort of awkward line, as we were forced to acknowledge that we were all just as desperate to impede on Nish Kumar's time as the guys who knocked on the door were - we just weren't as brave as they were.

I intentionally got to the back of the line, because I didn't want everyone else to have to wait while I made my weird autograph requests. Another guy stood with Nish, and I heard him tell someone else that that was his tour manager. The other people in line took pictures with him, told him they enjoyed the show - you know, normal stuff. Stuff that normal people do. Stuff that I didn't want to interrupt with my weird requests. So I waited until the end.

Finally, the last person left, and Nish looked at me, and I froze. My brain went blank, as I was struck by the reality of the situation, and there were a solid few seconds of us just staring at each other, during which I thought there was a real possibility that I would fail to remember any words in the English language, and I'd have to just literally run away. But luckily, I had that bag in my hands, and I managed to nudge myself into remembering what it was for. So without even starting with "Hello" or "Great show" or "Big fan" or anything, I just held up the back and said to Nish Kumar, "Could I ask you to sign something? There's a show that you were in, and I was hoping you could sign over your line..."

Nish looked over my shoulder as I pulled out the script, and when he realized what it was, he burst out laughing. It's a script from Collaborator, a show that Daniel Kitson performed last year. Nish Kumar was only "in" it because Collaborator involves Kitson handing out full scripts to every member of the audience, and everyone in the crowd gets at least one line (aside from a few people who can request non-speaking roles). The show consists of audience members reciting their lines according to what number their script is, and Kitson responding to them.

It happens that in one performance of Collaborator last summer, Nish Kumar was in the audience, and he got Part 103. Part 103 involves an audience member telling Daniel Kitson that they never liked his stand-up comedy. It was very funny when this line got delivered in Nish's distinctive voice, and Kitson ad-libbed a "fuck off, Nish" after he said it.

So that's what I asked him to sign. Nish thought it was hilarious, and called his tour manager over to tell him that whole story, how he said this line during a performance last year and Kitson swore at him. Then he signed my script (a version of the script that I had saved from that show, and kept as a prized possession - now even more prized because of that autograph):

I had another option in my bag of things to sign, and I wasn't really planning to bring it out, but I had it just in case things seemed to be going so well that I thought this might work. And Nish did respond really well to the script, so I gave the other one a shot. I pulled out the DVD, and said, "There is something else I was hoping you might sign as well... just quickly... I'm so sorry it's someone else's thing, it's just that you and Kitson are my two favourite comedians in the whole world and I really like the idea of both your signatures on one thing and this is the only thing I already have his signature on..."

I wrote a fuller explanation of why I wanted that DVD signed by Nish in my post here, but basically, I have a DVD of a terrible movie called Dog Eat Dog, in which Kitson appeared for 30 seconds in 2001, which a friend of mine got Kitson to sign for me last year (he signed it with his catchphrase from that movie, which was "Brace Yourself!").

When I took it out of the bag, I thought I'd have to explain to Nish what it is, because it's so old and obscure. But as soon as he saw the cover, he gasped and said, "Is this Dog Eat Dog?" He took the DVD from me and started showing it to his tour manager, explaining that Daniel Kitson was in this movie before he was famous. I said "Yeah, pre-Phoenix Nights." Nish looked at all the pictures of the characters on the DVD cover, and asked if you can see Kitson on there. I said no, he was only in the thing for 30 seconds.

Nish Kumar said, "It makes me so happy to be asked to sign Kitson's merchandise." Then he referenced a story that he'd told on stage that night, about how he'd started playing football because a friend of his had invited him to do so. "That was Kitson!" he told me. "Kitson was the friend who invited me to play football." I said, "I know," because of course he did. When Nish told the "a friend invited me to his football game" story on stage, I sat in the crowd, thinking, "That friend is definitely Kitson." Nish Kumar was clearly underestimating my familiarity with Tuesday football dynamics, by thinking he needed to tell me that.

Nish spend a couple of minutes looking at the DVD, telling his tour manager about the DVD, and repeated, at least several times, "I can't tell you how happy it makes me to be asked to sign this." Then he added his signature, underneath Kitson's:

I put my signed items back in my bag, and was ready to run away, when he asked if I wanted a photo. I said oh, yes, definitely. His tour manager said he could take the picture, so I stood next to Nish Kumar, posing for a picture, flustered by the offer as it hadn't even occurred to me to ask for that. Then the tour manager awkwardly said, "...Can I have your phone?" Because I'd been so overwhelmed that I'd forgotten I need to give him that. The manager added, "I mean, if you want I could take it on my phone and then text it to you..." And I cut him off and said something like "Jesus Christ no it's fine here's my phone I do not need to make Nish Kumar's tour manager take my phone number just because I forgot how pictures work."

And then I posed with Nish Kumar. And it's one of the coolest fucking things that's ever happened to me.

Then I started to take off, not wanting to overstay my welcome, but I stopped myself to say one more thing. Going into that night, I'd thought that if I did get to meet Nish Kumar, I might use the opportunity to ask him one of my niche and nerdy questions that I'm always wondering about on this blog. I had a couple of ideas, figured I'd see if I could collect a bit of information straight from the source, while I had the chance.

But in the moment, when I was face-to-face with Nish Kumar and had the chance to say something before walking (running) away, no niche or nerdy Bugle-related questions came to mind. Instead, I surprised myself by saying something I'd not planned at all, but the moment I spoke, I realized that this was what I'd always wanted to say to Nish, and what I was always going to do with the opportunity. I told him, "The first time I heard you do that Jimmy Carr material, I had just walked away from something I'd dedicated my life to for nearly 20 years, because of people in it getting so into Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan and their ideology. And hearing your material made me feel better, knowing there was someone on my side. So thank you." My voice cracked a bit in the middle of the sentence, there was a very brief period of danger that I might tear up and be unable to finish talking due to emotion, but I kept it together.

Nish seemed to appreciate that, he was so kind, he said he was glad the show could do that for me and he was sorry I went through it. I then told him that I saw his 2022 show live twice, I thought it was utterly brilliant, I'd come out of it thinking he wouldn't be able to top that, and then he had, with this new show that's even better. I think I used the words "You outdid yourself." I told him I think it's one of the best stand-up hours and/or tour shows I've ever seen or heard. I think I managed to get the words "Big fan" in there. And then I ran away.

I got an Uber back to my Air B&B. Lay awake for several hours because, despite how sleep-deprived I was, I was too excited to sleep. Got up at 6:30 AM, took Metros to the train station, took a long train ride back home. And that's what I did with my weekend.

It's taken me nearly a week to be able to gather my thoughts well enough to write this all down. I'm better than I used to be. Though today I was playing duck duck goose with a bunch of five-year-olds (I work in a school), and when I got tagged I had every intention of running slowly to let the kid catch me, but once I stood up, my competitive instincts took over and I ran around the circle so fast that by the time I remembered to slow down, it was too late. So, you know. I'm still working through some stuff. With the whole "being at peace with my relationship to sports" thing. But at least last weekend, I reminded myself that there are other things in life that can be just as exciting.

— IN A WORLD WHERE...

'Zed never had his high-school chemistry accident.'

...THE ALTERNATIVE SEPTEMBER 12TH, 1994.

— Zed never attended the chemistry class where the accident that nearly cost him his arm occurred. He never took an interest in chemistry, or acids, nor pharmaceuticals. He does not have a disfigured, or burn scar across his forearm and lower hand. — Instead, he was off sick with a common cold. his Uncle Joseph had come over to talk business with his side of the family. Zed had listened in; learning; questioning his potential position in the family — subsequently following in similar footsteps as the rest of the Movska brood. — But he wasn't quite Fox News material. Instead, he pursued editing; easily accessible for an underachiever with the connections his family does.

— THE RIPPLE EFFECT...

— '94-1995; Zed finished his high school diploma, deciding to take a late interest in the media world his family seemed to thrive in. — 1997; By not attending further education; no college; no pharmaceutical degree; no Ph.D. Zed was not in the same scientific circles. He did not attend physics, or chemistry conventions. Therefore, he did not meet Rahi Kumar who would have been his best friend throughout his life, and career. — Late 1997; He and his cousin Lev's difficult and sometimes unhinged relationship became easier; Zed was not an overachieving intellect. He was another Movska in media chasing some sort of prestige. — 1998; Somehow ends up childminding his five year old cousin Diana Movska more frequently as his family's work progresses. He works out empathy among his family — and briefly considers his own future with a family of his own. — 2000; There is a 0.6% increase in the fatality rate within Affina Biotechnologies in a two year period; totalling 60 more deaths due to an inexperienced chemist taking a position. [ a contract Zed would have taken. ] — 2001; Zed attempts to cover the story everyone else is. — 2002; he interviews for WNBC, dabbling in radio before he lands a position in the New York Post, opting towards print media. He gets his own intern. — The rest of 2002; The intern is the worst. Lev and Zed make continuous jokes about his inevitable departure. — 2003-'06; He balances a life between New York and Russia whilst he scarcely misses out on a promotion due to the mysterious disappearance of his intern. He refuses to hire another. — 2008; Zed [And Lev] purchases a chinatown apartment. — 2009; He moves into an executive chair. — 2010; Zed does not meet what would be his colleagues, and residents at consultant hospitals, or Columbia university. There is no Kamilah Marques or Gus Amado in his professional life. — 2011; There is an underground scuffle between druglords that Zed is never present for. Instead of diffusing the majority of it, there is bloodshed. Four people are fatally wounded, and six injured. He never encounters Oz Saffet. Cops are called to a scene. They attempt to find medical attention that before Zed would have assisted with. Three are arrested and charged. One passes. The rest survive and go into hiding. The New York Times beat the Post to the scoop. — 2014; He stays in New York for the entire year. — Early 2015; he briefly dates the NYP's CFO. It ends pretty amicably. — 2015; Zed becomes COO, and is content with the position. — 2017; There is a decrease in toxicity in American Regent's latest quick-fix for migraine treatment by 0.2%, nearly two dozen benefit from the new chemistry. [Zed never altered it for a '17 hire job. ] — 2020-'23; He remains COO of the NYP.

— THE RESULT

— Anyone who knew Zed through scientific, medical or pharmaceutical means very likely will not know him now. His morbidity was more than skin deep, but he did not have such a vicious means of dispatch at his disposal, instead opting for media reckoning and political damning. — He will be more light-hearted — mostly — and far more approachable as a media mogul. There is almost a 0% risk of him threatening to end one via chemical warfare. He is not nearly as intelligent; he is not a professor, or doctor in the AU. — He will now edit your pieces to death if you hand him any documentation. — More familial orientated — if that were possible, considers himself fairly close with them. — May even make a joke, and laugh.

Best Medical Oncologist in Bangalore

P.D. Hinduja Sindhi Hospital

In search of an oncologist in Bangalore, more than mere credentials are sought: Understandable and compassionate care must be provided. In my visit to the P.D. Hinduja Sindhi Hospital, I was fortunate to meet Dr. Sampath Kumar M.N., and from my very own experience, I can say he fits really well in one category as the best medical oncologist in Bangalore.

The hospital is situated at the center of Bangalore, P.D. Hinduja Sindhi Hospital being a household name synonymous with trust and quality care. It is no ordinary hospital whose premises merely host sickness; it is the place where healing sets in with one’s entry. Except for the oncology department, I was most impressed with how they treated their patients with cancer, not just with cutting-edge technology but with genuine empathy, too.

The hallmark of my visit was a meeting with Dr. Sampath Kumar M.N., who is reputed to be the best medical oncologist in Bangalore. The doctor here has a top-class reputation: patients come from several corners of Karnataka and adjoining states to seek consultation. In complementing his many years of experience and sturdy academic background, Dr. Sampath Kumar M.N. adopts a therapeutic approach that blends treatment with a personal, human element.

He described the practice of oncology as not merely chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It is about knowing each person’s story and helping them make decisions to provide care to them, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. This is perhaps why many consider him the best medical oncologist in Bangalore.

Dr. Sampath Kumar M.N.’s commitment to continuous study, along with an innovative approach to treatment, differentiates him as the best medical oncologist in Bangalore. From the new immunotherapeutic developments to personalized cancer care and precision medicine, he always stays at the edge. He makes sure his patients do not require foreign treatment and are treated with the world-class facilities at home.

Most such patients I came across at P.D. Hinduja Sindhi Hospital got renewed hope and life on the basis of Dr. Sampath’s care. His expertise covers all major oncology specialities-from breast cancer to lung and gastrointestinal malignancies.

All hospital staff, under the able management of Dr. Sampath Kumar M.N., make a finely functioning team, ensuring a smooth flow of treatment. Diagnosis to survivorship, a step once thought of as a mere stage is taken care of with all detail in patient-focused care: another aspect that puts him almost synonymously with the best medical oncologist in Bangalore.

If you or your dear ones are in search of the best medical oncologist in Bangalore, go and meet Dr. Sampath Kumar M.N. at P.D. Hinduja Sindhi Hospital. It’s not just about medical knowledge; it’s about the heart, devotion, and life-long support that Dr. Sampath and his team will offer you.

Gender Inequity in Sports Has Led to Obesity Among Adolescent Girls in Saudi Arabia Gender Inequality in sports has led to Obesity among Adolescent Girls in Saudi Arabia Obesity is one of the most rapidly escalating phenomena in the entire world. It is influencing the lifestyle and lifestyle choices of both adults and teenagers specifically young females across all ethnicities and races as well as social statures (World Health Organization , 2006). Obese individuals are mostly the ones who are anticipated to have shorter life spans than usual primarily because of the offset health and dietary structure that they sustain (American Academy of Pediatrics , 2003). Even though, a large extent of research has focused on and been devoted to obesity as it relates to young females, there have nevertheless been limited efforts made from the domain of teenage girls in Saudi Arabia and in helping them overcome their obesity problems as well as sustain a healthy lifestyle through engaging in sports activities through their academic years. This paper will hence conduct a risk assessment of teenage girls in Saudi Arabia suffering from issues of obesity across generations and assessments will be done on the patterns of nutrition and sports activities in order to break the habit of unhealthy lifestyle choices (Yujin & Dong Sik, 2007). The proposed study has been tailored to support proper nutrition and exercise in the chosen gender with the ultimate goal of preventing obesity reversions. Introduction The current generation, more than before is tackling the dangers of obesity. It is a fact that there are many parts of the world, especially in the African and Asian countries where people literally die of starvation, malnutrition and under-weight issues, yet it is a fact as well that the world is growing more and more obese currently than it has been at any other time in history. Putting it simply, obesity can be described as the excessive accumulation of fats in the body. These are fats that the body does not need or cannot digest and utilize in fulfillment of physical activities. From a medical perspective, when the body mass index (BMI) goes beyond the limit 30 from where it should be, only then is one considered obese. The BMI is calculated by dividing the weight of an individual by the Square of the Height in Meters (WHO, 2011). There are two major causes of obesity; the ingestion of fat rich foods and energy dense foods, which are also rich in sugar and salt. These foods are also noted to be low in essential minerals, vitamins and the essential micronutrients. The other cause of obesity that WHO (2011) places much emphasis upon is the sedentary lifestyle that one lives. This lifestyle can be occasioned by urbanization and the reduced active life that urbanization comes with, the docile employment environments that many are exposed to of late as well as the evolving means of transport that leaves little space for daily exercise. Some of the factors caused by increasing urbanization revolve around preferring fast food over home-made meals, overeating, preferring food that is high in calorie, fat and sugar while low in fiber and calcium and increased consumption of soft drinks. This behavior is further enhanced by a surrounding where high-fat foods are easily available, can be bought easily and can be readily eaten without much preparation (Raj and Kumar, 2010). Background A number of research studies have been carried out to measure the extent, scope, magnitude and implications of teenage obesity. For instance, According to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics for 2005, at least 20 million children around the world are overweight (WHO, 2006). In the United States alone, 11% of the preschool population has been diagnosed as over weight (Johnson, Clark, Goree, O'Conner, & Zimmer, 2008). Teenage obesity is currently viewed as a worldwide epidemic that exists among all ethnic groups, social categories, and economic classes (Lee, 2007). The rising prevalence of both overweight and obese young females has evolved into an indisputable public health concern and is placing a tremendous burden on the country's health care system (Wake, Hardy, Canterford, Sawyer, & Carlin, 2007). Similarly, according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Obese young females have a 70% chance of becoming obese adults, with resulting higher risks for diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and several types of cancer. Obese young females have a greater risk of social and psychological problems such as depression, discrimination, and poor self- esteem. Obesity leads to heart disease caused by high cholesterol and/or high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, asthma, sleep apnoea, and/or social discrimination (Centre for Disease Control and Prevention , 2008a and 2008b). Time Plan Activity Completed Time Allowed Thesis Proposal Completed Expand and synthesise the literature review Literature Review (Chapter 2) completed 4 months Ethics Committee (waiting ) Conduct Focus Groups (done) Questionnaire designed and tested (designed not tested yet ) 1-month Methodology (Chapter 3) completed 2 months Tests issued and returned Collection completed 6 months Data Analysis completed 2 months Introduction (Chapter 1) completed Data analysis (Chapter 4) completed 2 months Conclusion (Chapter 5) completed 1-month Chapter revisions completed Thesis submitted 1-month Innovative Character of the Study The innovative character of this study is in the specific approach that it has taken. Previous obesity studies have focused on intervention for obesity. This study joins the small list of research efforts aimed at preventing obesity in the teenage female student. The study is further innovative in nature because it focuses on the female student body within Saudi Arabia and the factors that lead to increasing obesity within this specific demographic. This study will use a preventive teaching strategy in a real-life classroom in Saudi Arabia where teenage girls typically learn the importance of sports. Neither the classroom environment nor the class routine will be altered in any way during this study. Societal Relevance The teenage population stands to gain from this study because this innovative preventive strategy is both cost-effective and realistic. Many obesity prevention and intervention programs are simply too costly to start and operate. Therefore, although these programs may be effective, they are not realistic for educator and healthcare workers to use because of time and budget constraints. Educators and health care workers therefore fall back on traditional health and wellness pamphlets (typically distributed by a school nurse), which are not aggressive enough. This study evaluates an affordable, non-traditional preventive program. As educators and health-care workers seek to identify new ways to teach and implement interventions targeting fundamental concepts of health and wellness to teenage girls, this study of the merger of sports and health education will produce valuable data on the effectiveness of this teaching strategy compared with that of a traditional health and wellness pamphlet or no strategy at all. In addition, because this project will focus on preschool females, a population not often used for a study of this nature, it will most likely advance knowledge concerning obesity among educators and health care workers alike. Looking thus, at the societal relevance of this study, it is easy to decipher that the study will be of immense help to not just the educators but also the healthcare programmers. It will help them understand the scientific and social factors that play a hand in not only creating obesity case amongst young girls but also sustaining them through their academic lives and adult years. Furthermore, it will also force the healthcare industry as a whole to produce more health-conscious foods for the younger female generation within the region of Saudi Arabia and will simultaneously force the education industry to implement healthier menus in their cafeterias to prevent obesity amongst young girls. It will also force the education industry to use the services of professional therapists to help the young girls deal with their obesity issues. Scientific Relevance The thesis is going to be focused on the research area of healthcare problems that face the younger female students. The specific health problem that this study will focus on will be obesity and the specific location will be Saudi Arabia; hence all female students chosen for the sample in this study will be studying in Saudi Arabian institutes. The approach for this is based upon Erikson's stages of development, which postulate that during the academic years, females play and imitate those around them (Learning-Theories.com, 2008). Preventive strategies are critical in the fight against obesity. Such efforts are proven to be more cost-effective than intervention strategies (Cochran, 2008). Hence, the unique contribution of this study to the healthcare domain will be to focus on the prevention strategies and how important they are for the future generations both in terms of health as well as cost-effectiveness. However, this study will also highlight some intervention strategies which, at times complement prevention strategies, and also help in reducing the current obesity levels in the chosen region. Hypothesis This analysis seeks to divulge the extent to which gender inequality especially in schools and the consequent denial of sports participation among girls in Saudi Arabia is a contributor to the rise in obesity in the region. This quest is informed by the ever increasing number of obesity cases among girls of the ages between 14 and 18 years. Hence the most appropriate hypotheses for this study will include: H1: if educators and health workers use preventive measures successfully, then gender inequity in Saudi Arabia may be decreased H2: if the gender inequity is decreased, then sports activities amongst the girls may improve H3: if the sports activities amongst the girls are improve, then overall obesity ratios for girls may improve It is important to note that all hypotheses above are interlinked as they answer the main research question of how obesity can be decreased among the young girls in Saudi Arabia. For this purpose, the proposal focuses on aspects like the dangers of obesity on health, the penetration of obesity as a disease in the modern world, as well as, the approach of the school/educators/health workers to address the issue. Literature Review Obesity is one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. Although the patterns of obesity differ between developing and developed countries, obesity rates are generally on the increase worldwide. According to Speiser et al. (2005), 250 million people, literally 7% of the world's current population is obese. For example in Canada, 40 to 60% of the population is obese while in the United States over 65% are obese and around 65% of the American population falling under this category (The Toronto Sun, 2011). The statistics provided by the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia indicates that well over three million people in the region are obese; this translates to a ratio of 1 in 5 people being obese on average. It is also noted that a bigger percentage of these obese people are women as compared to the male counterparts, and in Saudi Arabia 66% of the women are said to be obese (Ministry of Health, 2005). To narrow down the statistics, El Mouzan and colleagues (2010) conducted a study that indicates that of the student population in Saudi Arabia, between 14 -- 18 years, 40% are obese. This is a grim situation as this is the population that is supposed to be most active since they are young and still in school hence should engage in many physical activities yet they have fallen prey to the menace of obesity. In the 40% population of teenage Arabians who are obese, there are further indications that it is still the girls who are more predisposed to obesity than the boys in the institutions. Alam et al. (2008) conducted a research in Bahrain that was purposed at finding the proportion of obesity cases between the boys and girls and the results were quite shocking, bearing the diversity in the ratios that were found. There was a ratio of 13.5% overweight cases among the girls as compared to the 9.1% overweight cases among the boys. Another compelling research results was from one conducted in Al-Khobar city by Abahussain where 679 adolescents were observed and their nutritional status taken. From their BMI, it was determined that a significant 28% of these girls were either overweight or obese. This misbalance in the distribution of obesity between the boys and girls has been widely viewed to be due to the gender inequity. This prescribes the duties and responsibilities of the different genders in the Saudi community and even the participation in sports. Girls at home are seen to be confined in the kitchen and used as maids for the domestic chores hence they do not get any time for exercises. This is further compounded at school and the higher learning institutions where the girls are not allowed and not encouraged to participate actively in sports that need physical involvement. This expresses the institutionalization of gender inequality and biasness that directly affects the girls in Arabia. The inequality stems from the cultural bias that is experienced in the community which transcends the social boundaries to the academic spheres. The lack of participation in sports, or less of it among the girls automatically leads to a docile lifestyle both at school and at home. This then makes the girls to resort to inactive leisure as compared to their male counterparts who engage in active leisure hence having lesser risk of getting predisposed to obesity (Berger & Peerson 2009, pp. 117-124). The well-being regulations are an important part of reducing weight problems for the chosen segment in this study. Research projects have given abundant information on this topic. Weak diet and minimal physical exercise among the teenage girls has adversely influenced their bodily, interpersonal, and psychological wellness, along with their academic and occupational accomplishment (Williams, 2005; as cited in Agron et al., 2010). Furthermore, childhood weight problems place the youngsters in danger of persistent illnesses in their adult years (Schwimmer, 2003 as cited in Agron et al., 2010). The recommendation here is to register the girls in schools that focus on nourishment and physical health as well as academic performance. Hence, this is where the role of the schools and government comes in. Educational institutions carry out a critical function in nourishing learners, offering programs for physical exercise, and adding to lifelong healthiness. Thus, awareness, execution and assessment of a healthy nutrient-rich diet along with physical activity have been recognized as aspects of particular importance as a measure for obesity reduction in the chosen segment (Agron et al., 2010). The educational policymakers acknowledge that educational institutions have an important part to place in fostering the wellness of their pupils, in deterring adolescent obesity and in dealing with issues that are related to weak diets and lack of adequate physical activity among girls. To systemize and motivate this function the Saudi government could learn from the United States where the Congress agreed upon the legislation in 2004 making compulsory for all school districts to contribute and take part in federal nutrition programs so that a wellness policy could be designed (Agron et al., 2010). The policy in the region of Saudi Arabia thus could incorporate: 1- Diet recommendations and guidelines for all the food present in the institution 2- The objective of providing diet-based information, exercise and other such activities 3- Assertion that the district's policies for reimbursable lunch not be less constraint than federal policies 4- An outline for gauging the application of well-being regulations (Agron et al., 2010). Inadequate nutritional or dietary strategies along with training materials may be partly to blame for the knowledge deficit about proper nutrition and exercise, as many families find it challenging to engage in a learning process that lacks creativity and originality for the teenage girls in their family (Forshaw, 2009). Because perceptions, attitudes, and habits form during the preschool years and the culture thereof, school nurses and educators must try innovative instructional strategies of health and wellness education approaches to point the young girls as well as their family toward a healthy lifestyle. Hence, adequate planning, instruction, and evaluation are vital in creatively seeking to educate the young girls and their families about nutrition and exercise primarily from the school nurses and therapists (Perkins, 2009). Proper nutrition and adequate physical activity are vital for the growth and development of the girls and for the establishment of a healthy lifestyle that prevents future obesity (Bellows, Anderson, Martin, & Auld, 2008). The teenage school years present optimal times to not only help establish healthy lifestyle patterns for the child and her family but also to influence family meal planning in the home (Papas, Hurley, Quigg, Oberlander, & Black, 2009). The training materials given by the nurses to the family will thus need to be evaluated by assessing the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of the girls and their parents initially regarding fundamental concepts of health and wellness. Methodology The qualitative method will be the most appropriate for this study. The qualitative tool kit will be used before (pre test) and after (post test) the interventions are administered. This information will serve as both a baseline for the student and as equilibrium among groups. The pre-test will allow the groups to be evaluated for symmetry. The researcher anticipates that all three groups will produce similar results, showing that the groups are comparable (Saunders et al., 2009). The interventions will be randomly assigned to each of the three groups. The interventions will be presented to the groups in brown envelopes. Each group will receive one of the following in their envelopes (health fable, pamphlet or unrelated reading material). The group which receives the unrelated reading material will serve as the control group for this study. The students will be asked to bring their envelope home to their parent/caregiver. A letter to the parent will accompany each envelope. Each parent will be asked to read the enclosed material to their child two times over a one week period. Upon completion of this request, they will also be asked to sign a form stating that the task is complete. When the child returns with his or her form, he or she may choose something from the researchers treasure box. Treasure box picks will also be awarded to each child after he or she completes the pre and post tool kit evaluation. Based upon interviews with several teachers, the interventions will be limited to one concentrated week every week. The anticipation is that the study will capture and hold the interest of students and parents for one week, but if it goes any longer the participants may lose interest, materials may be misplaced and overall effectiveness diminished. This part of the study has been scheduled for six-month. During the first months, the study will be introduced and consent forms will be sent home for parents to sign. In the second and third months, the researcher will administer the pre-study tool kit and advertise the study details. Read the full article

A Comprehensive Guide to Direct Admission in Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College (AKGEC) Ghaziabad

Understanding Direct Admission in AKGEC

Direct admission in Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College (AKGEC) Ghaziabad refers to a streamlined process through which students can secure admission without participating in the standard entrance examination, such as the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). This option is particularly advantageous for students who have excelled in their previous academic endeavors or for those who may have missed the entrance exam deadline. Direct admission enables candidates to obtain a seat in various engineering programs offered by the institution based on their performance in qualifying examinations.

Eligibility criteria for this admission path typically include a substantial score in academic qualifications, such as the Class 12 board exams. Students must possess a minimum percentage specified by the institution, which may vary based on the discipline they are interested in pursuing. It is crucial for prospective students to familiarize themselves with the detailed admissions policy, as it outlines specific requirements tailored to different engineering streams.

The admission process for direct admission in AKGEC starts with the submission of an application form, where applicants are required to furnish relevant academic documents. Following the document verification, candidates are often short-listed based on their academic performance. Successful applicants are then notified about the counseling procedure, where they can finalize their choice of course and secure their seat within the allocated timeframe.

Choosing direct admission can bring advantages such as immediate career planning, reducing the stress associated with competitive exams, and ensuring a place in popular engineering disciplines. However, challenges may also arise, such as the possibility of limited course availability and higher competition for specific branches. Overall, if approached with adequate information and understanding, direct admission in Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College (AKGEC) Ghaziabad can be a beneficial pathway for aspiring engineers.

Eligibility Criteria for Direct Admission

In order to pursue direct admission in Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College (AKGEC) Ghaziabad, candidates must meet specific eligibility requirements that ensure they possess the necessary qualifications for the engineering programs offered. The primary requirement is a completed 10+2 or equivalent examination with a focus on science subjects, namely Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. A minimum aggregate score of 50% is generally required in these subjects, though this percentage may vary based on specific course demands or state regulations.

Students from different educational backgrounds, such as those following the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) or respective state boards, must understand that their eligibility is assessed based on the norms dictated by the college’s admission policies. For instance, students who have completed their education under the CBSE system must ensure that they provide valid documentation of their examination results, as well as any other certificates related to their academic performance.

Furthermore, students should be aware of the importance of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) score. While the entry via JEE is a common route for many, those looking for direct admission in AKGEC may still be required to meet a certain threshold score on the JEE for relevant programs. Additional criteria may include the submission of valid identity proof and adherence to age restrictions, typically ranging from 17 to 25 years of age at the time of admission.

In summary, meeting the academic criteria and providing the required documentation are crucial steps for students aspiring for direct admission in Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College. Potential candidates should stay informed of any changes in the admission process and verify their eligibility based on their unique educational background and accomplishments.

Steps to Apply for Direct Admission

Applying for direct admission in Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College (AKGEC) Ghaziabad involves a systematic approach to ensure all requirements are met. The process begins by gathering the necessary documents, which typically include academic transcripts, copies of identity proof, passport-sized photographs, and any specific certificate required for the course. It is advisable to also have a recent study curriculum vitae (CV) at hand. Ensure all documents are current and legible to avoid any delays in the admissions process.

Once you have all documents ready, the next step is to fill out the online application form available on the college's official website.

Curiosity to Question, Perseverance to Discover, and Courage to Dream – Lessons from the Legend, Sir C.V. Raman.

Every year on February 28th, India celebrates National Science Day to honor the remarkable discovery of the Raman Effect by Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman. His groundbreaking research not only earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 but also positioned India on the global scientific map. As we commemorate this occasion, it is essential to reflect on the invaluable lessons his life and achievements offer to young minds.

Passion for Knowledge and Curiosity

Sir C.V. Raman’s life is a testament to the power of curiosity. From a young age, he was deeply fascinated by the natural world. His curiosity led him to question why the sea appeared blue, a simple observation that inspired his pioneering research on the scattering of light. This teaches us that curiosity is the first step towards discovery. In today’s world, where information is readily available, nurturing curiosity can lead to innovations that shape the future.

Perseverance and Hard Work

Raman’s journey to success was not without obstacles. Despite limited resources and infrastructure in pre-independent India, his perseverance never wavered. He conducted world-class research using locally available equipment, proving that limitations are merely challenges to overcome. This is a powerful lesson for students: Where there is a will, there is a way. Hard work, combined with passion, can help us achieve greatness, regardless of the circumstances.

Belief in Self and Nation

Raman firmly believed in the potential of Indian minds. At a time when science was predominantly advanced in the West, he chose to stay in India and contribute to the nation’s scientific community. He demonstrated that excellence is not bound by geography. His confidence in his abilities and his commitment to his country inspire us to believe in ourselves and contribute to our community and nation.

Encouragement of Independent Thinking

Sir C.V. Raman was known for his unconventional approach to science. He encouraged questioning established ideas and developing independent thought processes. This is particularly relevant for today’s students, as the world increasingly values creativity and critical thinking.

Sir C.V. Raman’s life is a beacon of inspiration, emphasizing curiosity, perseverance, self-belief, and independent thinking. As we celebrate National Science Day, let us remember his words: “The essence of science is independent thinking, hard work, and not equipment.” Let his legacy inspire us to dream, explore, and innovate.

Happy National Science Day!
