Okay, traders, welcome to today's live market analysis session with me, Patrick Munley. If you can hear me and see the Tick Mill welcome screen, if you just type a Y in the chat box. Okay, so before we get going with today's material, we as always want to adhere to the risk disclaimer. As we probably most of us are aware by now, trading carries an inherent financial risk. You can lose more capital than you necessarily have on deposit. And most importantly for today, the views or opinions expressed by me are solely mine and they are not representative of those held by Tick Mill UK or Tick Mill Europe Limited. So before we get started, I just for those who are here for the first time, want to give you a brief introduction as to who I am and where I'm coming from with respect to the markets. After I graduated from Kings College London, I joined a city consulting firm. I left with some colleagues and went on to successfully co-found and exit a consulting startup, post-emerge, that's a code around late 2004. I then moved on to explore my passion for markets.  I then went on to explore my passion for markets. So with some capital to play with and some time in my hands I started day trading or should I say day gambling, the S&P and after some early beginners luck ran out, I actually experienced a six-figure financial hit. It was at this point that I had to step back from the markets, a gut-wrenching experience to say the least. But in stepping back, I decided to get serious about trading. And so I sought out a mentor who demonstrated excellence in the field of trading and I worked with him for 18 months or two years. It was a period during which I upped not just my technical game in terms of developing, researching my strategy extensively back and forward testing it, all of which was underpinned by a rigorous risk management approach. But most importantly, during this period of mentorship, I significantly developed my mental game. And probably the most important watershed that occurred during this period was that I moved from being a highly goal-orientated individual focused on financial gains to being purely process-orientated. So what does that actually mean? Well, it means I had to stop focusing on what I could make from the markets and start focusing solely on managing my mindset to allow me to consistently execute my trading strategy oftentimes in the face of negative feedback from the markets in the form of losing trades. Once you become process-orientated and have a professional trading mindset, and you understand the true nature of trading really being a numbers game in which you're simply playing the probabilities, you then lose that emotional investment and that hellish emotional roller coaster of living and dying by the outcome of individual trades. I'm no longer concerned with the outcome of individual trades or even strings of trades. My focus is on the next 100 trades because I know if I focus on excellence in terms of execution, my edge will demonstrate itself over an extended series of outcomes. My multi-strategy approach has delivered profitable annual returns since 2008. From 2013, I've also been managing investor capital through my managed account service delivering annual positive returns and currently responsible for managing a multimillion dollar portfolio. Performance for this service is on the screen at the moment, in the top right-hand corner there. Since 2010, I've also personally mentored over 100 private traders of all experienced levels from complete novices to former CME floor traders in developing the technical and more importantly the mental skills to reap consistent returns from the markets. I've also consulted to numerous brokers and trading education brands contributing written content webinars and live presentation on a range of topics from market analysis to trade and strategy development and execution. In addition to my fund management and private mentoring, I'm also a resident market expert for TICML, providing markets and trade analysis on a daily basis through my daily market outlook and chart of the day. You can subscribe to this via the TICML blog and you can actually receive these directly into your inbox. My other real passion project is as the head of trading and trader education for a leading trader education brand called FXcareerswap.com, offering development and more importantly funding to retail trading talents at FX Careerswap. We don't just develop retail traders market and trading knowledge. We work on mindset development through our structure program that culminates in managing our firms capital at zero personal financial risk on a profit share basis. For those who are interested, I'll post a link in the chat at the end of today's presentation. OK, so that gives you a flavour of where I'm coming from. So let's jump into today's material. Just want to check back and remind you guys in terms of where we are in terms of broader risk assets and the risk markets and our barometer for that being the S&P 500. We have been looking for the markets to top out as they have done over previous pre-election cycles in the September time frame. And what we're looking for now is for risk markets to basically trade sideways to down heading into the election and potentially post the election depending upon the results we get. Obviously, we're hearing a lot of sound bites from Trump at the moment talking about potentially contesting the election if Biden wins. So that's increasing an amount of uncertainty in the markets. We also had the sad passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg last week and we now have Trump trying to get a new chief justice through to the Supreme Court. That's also causing some concern for markets with respect to the Supreme Court will ultimately be the final arbiter of any legal wranglings with respect to the US election. So I want to keep these charts in mind in terms of the seasonal set up and how the market is playing out at the moment. So let's jump in and look at some charts. So what I've got here is the dollar index. And for those who joined previous sessions, you'll understand this fractal pattern that I've been tracking. And what I'm anticipating is that we see a correction now versus the overlay from the September 2017 set up. And you can see that we've made a low here in September. What we're looking for now is a move higher. And what I've overlaid here, this internal orange box, basically replicates the prior corrected phase. Will it necessarily map perfectly? We don't know. But certainly you can see the similarities in terms of how price action has been developing with the structure being very similar to what we saw during 2017. So ultimately, what that means for me at the moment, anyway, is that I'm looking for a correction here in the dollar. And then I'm looking for new loans as many of you will know who follow me or work with me. I'm pretty structurally bearish the dollar over the coming period, as I've talked about previously. What I also want to highlight here is the similarity in terms of the site indicator here. You can see that we've broken out from the bear channel here.  So everything's sinking up pretty nicely here. And what we're going to be watching for now are levels or areas where we could potentially engage the dollar to initiate new short positions. And we'll look in detail at that now. So what we've got here is the broad dollar index. It's the dollar index versus six pairs, slightly outdated now with respect to the input from the Swedish Krona. And we don't have the Australian dollar factored in here. But what we're looking for is potential confluent areas whereby we could see opportunities to look at reselling the dollar. And we are certainly testing one or getting close to testing one in these coming sessions. These markets have a tendency, or certainly statistically, they have a tendency to you see cycle tops and bottoms either on Fridays and Mondays. That's the highest distribution of market tops and bottoms. So here what we're looking at is a correction to complete basically, we have the descending trend line resistance, we have symmetry swing resistance, and we also have this equality objective here. Let's draw that in into this zone here at the 9450. So what I'm watching for now is for reversal patterns. Now, you can look at these on the intraday time frames, the hourly or the four hour time frame. I don't necessarily suggest going any lower than that as those lower time frames are certainly very noisy, but you can certainly start to probe those intraday time frames hourly or the four hour, watching for reversal patterns, but most importantly really on the daily. You can also see we're testing the channel here in terms of the psych indicator and we're starting to find some resistance there in terms of that momentum study as well. So really want to pay close attention today, tomorrow and Monday as we also have the 50% retracement of that decline from July. So everything's sinking up pretty nicely here. We have the prior spike lows at 9480. So this is the zone, the potential price reversal zone that we really want to keep an eye on in terms of the dollar. Obviously, we're going to look at the majors in a minute and you'll see the implications for those and the current levels are testing there. We'll just quickly take a look at, this is the equal weighted dollar index, the Dow Jones dollar index. And this is dollar index versus the Euro, the Aussie, the yen and the sterling on an equal weighted basis. You see a slightly different pricing structure here, but certainly you can see the similarities in terms of the price action and the setup. And I always like to see the dual confirmation. So if the broad base dollar index is going to roll over from here, then I'm also looking for this equal weight dollar index to roll over from its current levels as well. Where you get that dual confirmation, then for me anyway, and the team I work with, I call it a dollar basket sell signal or dollar basket buy signal. And certainly you can look, when you get a strong signal here, you can certainly start paying attention to the Euro, sterling and the Aussie, not so much the dollar yen, but as you'll see in a minute, I'm watching the dollar yen today. But certainly when you get a reversal in this equal weighted dollar index, then that immediately gives you or should draw your attention to potential opportunities in the Euro Aussie and the sterling. And we're going to take a look at those now. So with the Euro, we are testing in the Euro equality support. So we have equal weight, equal legs into this zone, this 1650, haven't really caught a bit as of yet. We have just below us the symmetry swing support. So let me just draw that in for people who aren't aware of what I'm talking about when I say symmetry swing. So basically we're looking at the largest corrective leg in the current cycle and identifying where that completes as well. And so you can see we're in the zone here, this 1650 to 1586. So we've got about 50 or 60 window here. We're are again, want to be paying close attention to see if we can get a reversal going here in the Euro. Let's just also see if we've got the channel similar to that of the dollar. You can turn that and bring this down here. And you can see we're testing the channel support as well. So if we start to see bids emerge here in the coming sessions, then this could actually then be our fourth wave low sorry, in the Euro. Let me just draw that in for you. So this is wave one and two, extended wave three. This will put us into wave four. And then what we'll be looking for would be at a minimum and equality objective. Oops, that's in the wrong place. Let's put that there and clone that. This would give us this upside target of 121.50. So we just take out those prior cycle highs and that's the pattern or the earlier wave structure for those who follow earlier wave to be looking at certainly or certainly pay attention to the potential for that. Now, if we don't find anyone home here in terms of buyers at this 1580 to 1650 area, then if we go back to the fractal, that would mean that we are likely to extend in terms of the dollar index. So that would see the dollar index pushing up back towards these breakdown lows here. Let's draw that in. So we have this break point here. So that would see the dollar index extending its current gains. And then if we go back to, well, actually we've got to have drawn that I've put the same fractal on the Euro here. So what we're essentially hypothesizing at this stage is that we're in this phase of price action now, similar to the dollar index being in this phase. So if that's going to be the case, then we could actually extend to the downside here to actually retest our breakout point above that 115 high. So we're paying attention to this current level, 1650 to 1586. If we fail here, then we're anticipating that we'll trade down to retest 115. That would be the next area of interest in terms of looking at swing trading this Euro on the long side. And then obviously if we fail to hold 115, then we're looking at potentially meaningfully, trading meaningfully lower in the Euro. But for now, the base case scenario for me is watching this current area. And then if we fail there, watching the 115. So that should give you a sense of what I'm looking at in terms of the Euro. Let's check in with the Dolly Yen. So Dolly Yen did a video on this this morning. We've come into the symmetry swing resistance. We're retesting the broken ascending trend line support where we traded through the bottom of this triangle. And what I'm watching for now is the potential that we put in a double top here, got two nice tails developing at the moment. Obviously I'm gonna wait to see where we close on these. But if we hold this 105, 30, 105, 50 area as resistance, then I think we can see the Dolly Yen trade lower. And certainly I've been looking at a move, something like this to get us down into that 103, 50 zone, which is the 78.6% retracement of the advance here. So that would be the downside objective. So a couple of hundred clips to play for here. But again, we need to see, we need to get the confirmation to either get those closes on the intraday, the four hour or the daily timeframe are the preferred ones to watch for that confirmation. Got the Looney, Dollycat trading up into its symmetry swing resistance. And these prior lows, also the 50% retracement of this decline. So if we can get a reversal here in terms of the Looney, then we should be looking at initiating short positions, certainly targeting a retest of this 130 low. And if we get through there, then the 127 extension comes in at one, 128. So again, paying close attention. It's got a bit of work to do here in terms of the daily timeframe for those who trade my strategy. What I'm looking for is a close back below this near 10 volume wasted average price. This is a five period look back in terms of the ticks and what basically what that's giving us is giving us a look under the hood and the past five days of data and letting us know whether or not there'd be more up ticks than down ticks. So more bids coming into the market and more offers. And at the moment, it looks buoyant, but like I say, watch these closes. If we've got a reversal, always stall out at this level here, consolidate overnight and then tomorrow we get the reversal. That's also the alternative scenario. So certainly want to pay attention to the close here. We're testing some pivotal resistance. Got a similar situation developing here in the Singapore dollar. You can see that we had symmetry swing resistance versus that initial recovery from the post-reaction highs. And so what I've been looking for in the Singapore dollar, again, similar setup is if we can get a reversal here, then I think we make new loads in the Singapore dollar down to 133 currently trade 137. Again, notice these closes. And one of the challenges for me in terms of this setup is the dispersion with respect to where price is trading and the volume wasted average price. So we'll have to watch this one, but watching for reversals here, similar to the Canadian dollar if you don't have the option for trading the Singapore dollar. Let's look at Sterling. Sterling highlighted this pattern in the weekly market outlook. That's on Monday. Saw the similarity or the potential for the similarity. Now again, with these price patterns, you don't necessarily match to the PIP here, but certainly you can see the similarity in structure. And at the moment we're holding this projected ascending trend line support. Now this, the Sterling, we could certainly see a bullish reversal here. And if we get that, then I'll be looking at being long sterling into this evening's close for another leg higher here. And certainly we could be up re-challenging the breakout point here at 1.3050, currently trade 1.2780. So I mean, you know, there's 300 PIPs even just trading back into that prior support to actors resistance, but we could trade meaningfully higher here. UK Chancellor has been out today promising an open-ended checkbook essentially to basically secure the UK economy through these next six months of extended restrictions. The market seemed to cheer that. And so let's see where we close here with Sterling, but certainly an opportunity potentially developing in Sterling. Now again, the equal weighted dollar index, which a cat which takes an equal weighted measure of Sterling is obviously taking its lead at the moment from that bump in Sterling because we're certainly not at this point anyway seeing that Euro strength. The other major constituent being the Aussie. Aussie still trading heavy here. I'm looking for the Aussie basically to test to take out stocks below the 70 level. I think then maybe we can see a bounce, but like I say, to my mind at this stage, it will be just a bounce. Let's just see. I think we've actually exceeded the quality objective here. Let's draw this then. Yeah, we have, but what we've got now is the 161 extension. So this 161 extension, which is coming in perfectly now, this is sending trend lines. So I want to pay attention to 6980 area. And again, you can look at this if you've got the time to be watching the screens. I know there are quite a few screen junkies out there. The intraday timeframe to the hourly, four hour watchful reversal patterns in around this area to look for loans. And we can certainly re-challenge this break point from below in terms of the Aussie. Let's take a look at the Kiwi. Kiwi's trading into potential support here or what I think might be the development of that line in terms of a potential head and shoulders pattern which may develop here in the Kiwi. This to my mind is the first leg down in the corrected pattern. And what I've been looking for ultimately is a push back up into the 67 area. This is obviously, let's just draw this in for clarity. So this is going to be our shoulder and this is our head here. And then we're looking for a right shoulder to develop like so. So look for a move. Any way back up into this 66, 67 area as a shorting opportunity, watch for those reversal patterns to get short. And I'd be looking for a target move down into this 63, 70 in the Kiwi dollar. Let's see the other one is a lot of flagged up here, Euro Yen. So Euro Yen, another symmetry swing setup developing here with the Euro Yen. You can see this last big corrective move we had while I'm looking for an equality objective. So I'm looking for the Euro Yen to test this 122 area and certainly again watch for those reversal patterns as a minimum I would think that we could get a bounce back up into this break point here, which again, those eager eyes, head and shoulders watchers could be the leg that sets up another head and shoulders pattern here in the Euro Yen and then we could see price trade lower to retest this base back towards 119. So this is the level to watch. 122 potential there to get long looking for a 125 test and then lower again if the head and shoulders pattern lays out. So we look Aussie CAD, that's in the range, nothing to do the Kiwi CAD is a bit more interesting. You can see here, got a potential third test of the ascending trend line. And for those who work with me on a regular basis, they will know that these third tests tend to be decent opportunities, high probability opportunities. So any move into this ascending trend line at the 87 handle, again, you can watch on those intraday time frames for reversal setups or reversal patterns. And then again, another potential head and shoulders scenario could develop there in the Kiwi CAD, CAD Swiss, trading in the triangle still, nothing to do there. So let's take a look, S&P 500 testing pivotal support here. If we take out this trend line, then I'm looking for this 31, 36 to be tested. And that would be the equality objective. We also have the weekly S3 coming in there. So again, what I'd be thinking is an interim low to be put in while we then have the potential to back and fill. But ultimately, I think, again, thinking about that pre-presidential election cycle, I think we trade sideways to lower, and certainly we could be back into this 3000 level ahead of the US elections. You can get some type of, sorry, equal weighted, three pushes, three equal legs down, completing a correction into this 3000 level. So that's also on my radar NASDAQ. Whilst it looked like it was gonna hold an equality objective in terms of the channel here, but we're failing. So now we want to think in terms of the quality objective using price pattern here. So this could have the NASDAQ back down at the 10,000 level. And so certainly if we get through these lows at the 1066, then that is gonna open up this 10,000 level NASDAQ. Let's check in with the metals here, gold, continuing to trade in this protracted, what we potentially a fourth wave setup. We have the equality objective, sorry, symmetry swing objective and the equality objective here, all suggesting that we should see an 1800 test. And from there, certainly again, we'll be paying attention for those reversal patterns as buying opportunities. And we could be re-challenging highs and potentially take those out. Certainly if we had into any type of contested US election, that should see money flood into gold. Similar scenario in silver, actually sitting on the trend line support and the equality objective here in silver. So watching for bullish reversal patterns here, silver may lead gold in this instance. So again, paying attention to this 22, 30 area in silver, crude, correcting still here, I think certainly whilst we hold 41, 65, look at the minimum of the 33, 75, we also have the weekly S3 coming in there, 33, 30. And finally, I just wanna highlight copper here. This copper has basically been leading the charge in terms of the correction in commodity currencies, but we look like we might be rolling over here we're sitting on the weekly S3. So I mean, I could see some profit taking and a bit of a pullback, but look for the equality objective initially here. Sorry, the symmetry swing objective, which would bring us into the 290 level. And then again, I think with copper, if we can get this move develop, then I think that would be the first leg in what could be a more meaningful correction. Let's just say. So again, this would coincide with a bit of a pullback in the Aussie and the Kiwi before we then see another leg lower to retest this base back to 277. And then again, we could be thinking about a more meaningful head and shoulders scenario developing in copper. Okay, so those are the main instruments and opportunities I'm monitoring at the moment. Are there any questions? So then ask Nasdaq, what do we measure against that please? Have you said what? You can't really measure the Nasdaq in, yeah, again, it's a risk asset as such, but what the major correlation with the Nasdaq, ironically, had actually been the Aussie. They pretty much been tracking very well and it would now appear as you can see here, you can see the similarities in terms of the structure. Obviously didn't have quite the blow off move that the Nasdaq had, but if you think in terms of risk market or the risk assets being the equity market, then you think in terms of risk FX being that, the Aussie and the Kiwi are the two prime considerations. Hi, Charlie, how are you doing? Patrick, you're right. I couldn't be first. So it's kind of a quick question, it's just more on the equidistant swing. It's just what would you actually, what would kind of like invalidate a swing, so to speak? You have to take out the swing high. So as long as the swing high is in place, then this is the measured move objective. So when it comes to like redrawing, when a trend is like progressing, what kind of, what factors would you look for for that? Well, there's nothing to redraw because whilst the swing high is in place, then this is the pattern. Ah, got it. So the only way you'd have to reconsider this is if we took out that high here. Right, okay. From there to there. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does. Yeah, just wanted to clear that one up. Yeah, swing low and then you'd have a new high. And really in terms of corrections, once we're through the 78.6%, then the likelihood is that there isn't a correction and the trend remains firmly intact and we're going to break out to make new highs. Yeah, good stuff. That makes sense. Yeah, that was just about right. Thanks very much. Any other questions? Taipei, and in the chat box, just so I know that we're all on the same page and everyone's satisfied. Okay, great stuff. Well, look, thanks very much for your time today. I hope this has helped and we will reconvene at the same time next week. Thanks very much.


What happens when your visa is cancelled in Qatar? Remember, once your employer or your sponsor cancels out what you call your recent permit or your visa, you are only allowed to stay inside the country or stay in Qatar for only 30 days to stay in Qatar. The good news is that you can return into the country once you get a new sponsor or once you get a new visa, immediately you can return to the country. But after your visa cancellation, after your employer cancels out your visa, you're only given 30 days or what you're given one month for you to go to the next step. Either you look up an employee or you look at a new employer or you look up a new company to get you into a new opportunity or better, you exit the country but you can return once you get a new visa, you can still come back into the country without even a no hassle in one way or the other. That is the good side of it all. So meaning that we can exit and return in one way. So long as the employer cancels it out and you have a new visa, you can return into the country.


The reality is that a lot of progressive Christians look at this as a tragedy. They see him as not stepping into who he was made to be, but this man is flipping the script. No temptation has overtaken you that is common to man. God is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will provide a way of escape that you may be able to endure. This fellow doesn't need to be defined by his sexual orientation or who he's attracted to. He's decided to flip the script and say that does not define who I am. This applies to not only people that struggle with same-sex attraction, but anybody. Anybody encountering their own sinful nature. It's about saying, hey look, the world is telling me this is who I should be because it feels good, it feels natural. But who gets to define who I was meant to be? That's God. And God is welcoming us today to step into a new identity because he has provided everything we need to escape the temptations that we experience.  You used to say that was who I was. That was who made you whole in a sense. But now you're seeing the brokenness that that was, that that was incomplete, that that never would and will fulfill you, and now you see Christ welcoming you into something so much greater. This man isn't a victim by no means. This man is stepping into the victory that Christ has had on his behalf. The world will tell him that he's making a mistake, that he's denying a core aspect of who he is. But this fellow, we need to follow his lead in this. He's relying on God to help him overcome those temptations, and that's what we should all be doing every single day. If the guy who made this TikTok is watching this video, love you, man. Keep doing what you're doing, your encouragement to us all. This video is brought to you by my patrons on Patreon.

you got sent to the wall one day I give it I give it like a day I think he could smooth talk his way into a second day I feel like he'd become a steward and they would he'd be like this is bullshit like we're doing all the work and they would be like hang in how long do you think you would last at the wall me I'd be fine I'd be ranging beyond the wall I'd be bedding wildlings I'd be going to moles town constantly I mean I would totally right what if they made you a steward though they made me a steward I'd hang myself tell us how you really feel I would definitely be a dessert on see a dairy always good to see you Lord Commander Jimmy you're damn right you're damn right I would I would kick Aleister Thorne in the nuts I'd hit him with a stone cold stunner he can work I could work favorite minor character easily Rogar Baratheon not even close it's definitely Rogar of course call this Valerian's a main character in my opinion so I can't pick him so it's definitely blood yeah which case that is because I could also could be your answer for all of the books I mean honestly Rogar is that cool I think is Robert Baratheon a minor character I would just tell you that you know nothing all of the time oh you're definitely a wildling without a doubt without it you know nothing you know nothing Jimmy nuts doesn't have the same doesn't come off the tongue you know nothing Jimmy yeah you'd be a wildling or you'd be out on the Iron Islands resuscitating people I mean I appreciate that you don't think I'm a whore of Molestown no you're not now Molestown requires a certain musk you know it's just you got you got to be down bad we should like honestly that's a good question though who goes who goes you know what you know what you know what it is for me I'm going to most I mean I like self-awareness yeah like Craster's daughters maybe if they can get you know into the wall like I mean there's honestly in the world of Eisen fire there are worse fates I could think of than being a lady of Molestown yeah you're not wrong I mean yeah no I would say it's pleasant but yeah I mean definitely better that than Craster's wife daughters daughter wives if you could live anywhere though in the seven kingdoms where would you live it all seems pretty awful but or would you like SO suck are you going to be like a little more your P well I mean is this is the question taking into consideration the current political situation and strife cause like I mean Winterfell seems great but also also we got burned down by the great choice so like this is just like in general like if if everything's going peachy everything's going peachy probably Winterfell yeah you like the cold yeah low Winterfell where would where would you live in S.O.S.S. or Westeros Dorn yeah Dorn I'm going Dorn Roastaffer people are more like you guys live in cold climates and I don't so I basically live in Dorn and you guys basically live in Winterfell so we're just creative L.A. to Dorn then you must live it around like the nicest people that are really accepting of each other and I mean I like the fact that I have that I could have spicy food Minange to I mean yes they have fiery Dornish peppers that we're mentioned here in there yes just a bit you know what fire and blood is missing is the quintessential food talk conversations there is no food mentioned so true they're actually live in the Iron Islands because they're so cool yeah we we asked the viewers we said how long would Alex last at the wall and I said maybe a night I I gave you two days I gave you two days I said a day I hate being cold and I hate asshole with people so if I was in a permanently cold place surrounded by a bunch of assholes one way or another I'm I'm out of there being cold having a fire is a novelty now someone's killing me being cold and and needing a fire is such a novelty to me that's probably why I think that winter fell sound so nice and like oh like fur cloaks and sitting by the fire and it's also wintry and they have like I don't know it sounds great oh that's nah being cold because I mean I've lived in LA without an AC and that's what Dorn sounds like to me and I'm like nah I'm good now day two of winter you're like I'm pretty much over it at this I see what I have said for all of my life what I've said for my whole life is like if you're cold you can put on a sweater but if you're hot there's nothing you can do jump in a pool literally nothing jump in a pool the issue you don't have a pool all right but so in these scenarios but being poor all you have are your furs your stone keep that you're in and a fire and also Winterfell is heated by hot springs like in the walls there's also a notable lack of brothels which we also have to be here what rank are you where you're staying are you assuming I'm nobility I am a oh you're just assuming of course okay sorry listen I just want to be a part of house Dane I just want to be the sword of the morning it's all I want guys you want to die yes every day I feel like if I went to the wall I said what happened you know honestly you did immediately I said he would get place to Stuart you go this is bullshit and then hang you I would know what sounds like probably the most ideal place to live is High Garden probably yeah is that like High Garden you know like I mean they do have a lot of so what I meant for sure yeah you know what I'm saying like as if so I'm down wait Alan's doing reading sprints right now by the way I just got a notification how dare he tried to challenge our live show maybe he's trying to catch up on this long away some fire that's exactly is the I did inspire blood you know that's how me and Alan met like officially was he was in my chat and he was shitting on fees for crows and dance with dragons and I was like how dare you I was like you should come on the next episode and I'll argue with you and then we did it and by the end he was like I want to reread these these these sound great it's a beautiful hate to love romance story it was it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship but yeah fire and blood was dope guys it was awesome there's probably so much of the actual book that we didn't talk about but oh tons there's no way you could remember all of it like especially a lot of names I mean there's so much I mean I will say this I could see actually I know there's content for it on YouTube but I'm surprised it's like war videos there's so much fan art there's illustrations well I'm guessing when this book came out it was at a point in time when people were bitter that this is what it was coming out as opposed to 2017 or 16 I think or might be right might be 15 are in blood 18 what 2018 I just have to say like the whole time that I was reading this I couldn't stop being multiple levels right especially when you were viewer and you're like how am I going to talk about this and like how's it come out of things whatever I'm like I was personally on an enjoyment level enjoying it yeah but I was also the entire time I was like and the way you just made this seem like a history book by doing that and the way you just actually thought of that and the way that you actually made this little detail in it make it feel more real and the way that you actually the where I would be at because I read a two other books that are kind of history based in a little bit a little distance narratives of grace kings and then I finished up the world or chronicles by Bernard Cornwell and I was like I wonder if I'm going to be burn out on that kind of like distance or Lord has a more of a narrative though right it's not yeah yeah you know it's like like I love the last kingdom and that's it the only like historical fiction that I've read but it's like you're following characters in a story you're not just reading like the history of the Saxons no yeah you're not and even in warlord you're not but it's a it's like distance sometimes because like you jump over to work months right in a paragraph like they're like okay in six months went by well a lot of like a myth and fairy tale retelling can also have that kind of like arms length Tolkien kind of like it's not like and that same grace of kings has a very good narrative but it does start out very much like broad strokes at first but with fire and blood I really enjoyed it I actually wanted to put out a review of it and I still might but like dealing with that was so good that part I forgot about it until literally the second speed as plague oh yeah cuz they end up disproving it I think it's the maester that does but I just I that was the one part of okay as much as I liked it that was the one part of it I was like okay you didn't write this though as a history text because you introduced it as plague came to this place and then told us that actually you realize that it was poison and I was like a history text would say as we know at the time they thought this was plague but it wasn't and like you didn't say it like that you made us think it was plague and which is what a novel does not a history text yeah that's fair yeah I mean that's a fair point about like the females specifically in fire and blood because they're all Targaryen and Targaryen's are just bad asses but like so we're so we're Dornish people right it's Dornish it kind of depends on like where Yellow Toad like like what part of the world you're in but Targaryen's especially like women flying dragons that don't take shit for people like yeah and Allison Hightower I mean she does kind of weasel her way in but like she's she's a very strong character Andrew for but also how many so many names in I mean the world of ice and fire but in this book because there's so many names you see more of it they're like what is that it's not a board games there's no board but that game where like the card on it has written out something that you're it looks like gibberish and then maybe it's called Balderdash I don't know but like when you read it out loud then like it sounds like an actual sentence of words because it's like written out phonetically what a sentence sounds like in English and like the game is like you're supposed to like read it out loud and then like your team is supposed to be able to like figure out what it is you're saying because it sounds like actual words when you say it out loud anyway the point is the names in this book on paper they're like oh these are fantasy names but then you say it out loud and you're like it's literally Eric Allison but you just put some Y's and some E's in there and made it look fantasy but then you said it out loud and you're like oh that's just a really straightforward name yeah that's Andrew that's Andrew yeah I really enjoyed this I might even put out a review for it at some point just talking about how much more I enjoyed it than I thought I would from cover to cover but I also always like dread the comments on George videos because you know what half of them are just going to be all correct bro yeah wins and season eight and you're just like I know guys you know what's the greatest part about that though is if it's on your video you can just block them or hide their comments this is nothing to do or respond to them and say shut the fuck up asshole they did that's the wonderful thing about YouTube it's your channel you can also say thanks for the engagement yeah right yeah Dishon is the goat dude watching her roast people in her comments is like my favorite thing and the times when you like complain to her about your comments she's like I can tell them this I won't if you don't want me to but I can she's awesome but I'm speaking of comments is nothing to do with with these books but do you get comments from people that are telling you what this person is like thinking before watching your video and they don't say anything about having watched it they'll be like oh I'm interested to hear what you're going to say about X, Y and Z and you're like so but like what did you think about but what was the point of that do I get a follow up like what so how did it go yeah that's all you want to comment first so everyone sees their comment not always girl first bro yeah I've had I've had a precursor comments I've also had other creators that comment and the video has been off for 30 seconds great video bro and I'm like you watched it real fast if you've ever done that I've unsubbed from you immediately just so you know it's just so disingenuous like I don't care don't watch like I literally don't care it's fine I mean it is worse than just not watching to like do something that makes it clear that you didn't watch yeah I mean it's just like cringy right I'm just gonna start commenting on all your videos I'm just gonna be like I disagree I disagree you're an idiot with his book haul I disagree this is actually not true I don't believe you bought these books yeah maybe maybe I'll put out something for fun because I really did I just had a blast at this book I think this is my most fun read of the year so far I mean I low-key okay you asked before if I think it's better than the main series and like I don't it's really hard to answer because like this was a read the main series was a reread so like it was just like either confirming my old opinions or having some new tanks but it was it's a different thing from reading for the first time and like I definitely like this better than Dunkin' Egg Dunkin' Egg was fine but like Fire and Blood I'm just so impressed and like I don't know if like I would be just as impressed with the main series if that was my first time through and I wasn't already like oh I know what this is going to you know it's kind of like um who was I talking to about this I don't know but about how like if you read Peter Pan today you read it and you're like it feels derivative and cliche but then you're like J.M. Mary in a world that had never heard of Neverland had never heard of Peter Pan had never heard of Pixie Dust invented this stuff like completely out of his brain and it's like so inventive if you like try to take your brain to a place where this didn't exist before that's why I felt like noon yeah and so like reading It's My Wives and Fire like I had read it before I had seen the show before and now I was rereading it so like I don't know how impressed I would feel about it now I can't know that and I do know that I'm super impressed with Fire and Blood and it feels better to me because like it's a surprise it's a bias yeah yeah so like right now like my emotional answer is like it's my favorite thing that he's written but like I don't know that that's actually true of what I think but it feels true right now no you know that that's fair that's fair I see what you're saying it's definitely not mine but I see what you're saying and it is a different flex I mean it's a totally different thing oh yeah because you know he's written yeah it's very impressive so not many other authors have done this type of thing or if they've if they've done it like they've failed you know like it's just like to do it so authentically it's like Secret History from Sanders I don't know if it's exactly like this but I think for a lot of people I was like Don Atard oh no it's not it's not it's not Mistborn Secret History is literally just him doing like a Prometheus it's like it's narrative and you follow characters and it's just explaining it's it's almost like a companion novel to Mistborn in a way but it's explaining things that you didn't have explained in the main books but it is it's 100% just a narrative book it's not like it's not the history of like Eladil or Luthadel or like it's not it's none of like this is how Alamancey was created like it's not like that well and I mean like I'm sorry but I'm going to bring up first law but like when I was like would you ever consider writing something in a different era of your own world giving us a prequel or like many actually like when I asked him this in my brain I wasn't even thinking of Song of Mice and Fire even though I should have because he's a big fan but I was thinking like Michael J. Sullivan when he wrote the Age of Age of Legends or Age of Empire whatever it's called but like it's like a thousand years before the Rairia Revelations which is like the part that Jashana really likes so it's like it's basically it's not even a prequel like there's like there's going to be something of legend in the main series that's familiar but like it's not the prequel in the way that like Star Wars is where it's like literally these people's like parents but anyway point being I was like would you ever write anything that takes place like in a different era of your world a prequel or something like that yeah or like I was like a prequel or maybe like a different era or whatever and he was like well no because why because if you are wondering something isn't it better to wonder like would answering the question ever be better like probably yeah and so like for the 99.9% of the time I'd be like yeah you're right unless you can do Fire and Blood and unless you have the inclination to do something as authentically thoroughly historical as this is like you will fail and it will be stupid and dumb and pointless and it will be like oh that is a cash grab is to do a prequel because the same IP and these are familiar names but like this if you can do this then yes yeah it's an impressive feat I mean it's a risk right and then even whenever you do it right people still say it's a cash grab which is well I think they would say it less if he had finished the main series before doing this they probably still would have been like oh he just wants to like milk that now that he's oh yeah there's there would still be people but people would be less angry about it because they like well they finished the series so like oh more is what was better well it's a very gated world view like I don't think anyone ever said that of Tolkien whenever he did some really on right like no but then again his series is finished technically it was finished but well I think most 99.99% of the time a prequel will be another novel and that's when it is like well this isn't interesting because like you know the endpoint answering giving answers that just make the main thing less interesting because it was better when you didn't know but I think making this like a historical text but like because it reads like a historical text rather than a novel that's part of why it works because if he had written some novels about the Targaryens like you could because there's plenty of material here for his novelization but like that's also why it works I think yeah I agree I mean there's a lot of bad examples of when it doesn't work like fantastic beast movies that have to directly tie into the Harry Potter trilogy that's also because JK Rowling is not a very good writer but there's that or it's like the hunger games prequel with snow it's like did you need that or like did you need did you need to do whatever the Twilight one was where it's like whatever it was called from Edward's perspective it's like did you need to do that no like you just want to cash in on the game money or the Star Wars millions of not even like the prequels like solo doing an Obi-Wan show doing a Boba Fett show it's like all of these things like doing Rogue One like all of these things that have to tie directly into the main movies it's like just do something else it's fine just do it that's where I also feel like if an author I've said this more about retellings but this goes for this as well like if the author already had something in mind and feels called to tell a story that is about the and if that new story does instead of just answering questions and making things less interesting or answering questions and making things dumb if instead it sheds interesting new light on things in a way that like makes you want to reread the main series because you're like oh wow that actually like completely alters my perspective on everything that happened thereafter and isn't just like oh that was a dumb answer like how Han Solo got the name Solo needed that answer now I must go and watch all of Star Wars again not that bad I doubt cause I don't care about Star Wars but it's like no one watching the original Star Wars movies was just like I gotta know where Han got his vest like I need to know or his dice we got the dice that's not something that needs to be explained do you need to explain why Chewbacca has the nickname Chewie cause apparently you do don't need that that's dumb I think I know how that came about to Hunter's point about like the cynical view of like it's a template for a TV adaptation if people think that the reason I would disagree is because there's not a lot of dialogue so like scenes would have to be written with compelling dialogue to actually like I mean the show is kind of the novelization of its history text but like part of it a lot of the conversations are going to be completely on the writers to create that and it could suck yeah that's the biggest challenge going forward I think the premise is super interesting the outcome awesome we have an ending hey we know that the people who are doing the direction and the production and the score and all these things are going to be great actors and really really solid it's literally going to come down to the writing that's why I said it's never going to be worse than season 8 it'll be at least on par with season 8 cause everything other than the writing we know is in place and you know they're going to have to flesh out the characters a little bit too like we know the characters we know what they did but like who are they and like that'll be interesting to see if like you know Damien does Damien come across on the screen that he did the page cause Damien seemed like a kind of a psychopath to me I don't know that'll be really fun to see we'll also get answers about you know even blood and cheese maybe we'll see Raniera give the orders like for Jaehaerys to be the one executed like we actually are going to get some answers if you want to take it as canon which is really fascinating which we'll also get answers for like the tourney of Heron Hall when George does his Broadway play that's supposed to come out for years or whatever the hell but like will we see or do we want to see or does George care about before the Targaryens because like that's quite relatively recent history that Targaryens took over well yeah so he definitely has an interest in that and that was the long night thing that they tried to film and they end up cancelling it after the pilot the pilot apparently just did not go well they didn't like it they canned it but the long night was about the first time the white walkers came through which would have been honestly pretty sick yeah but I mean all of this they were like a feuding lord it was more like vikings when you have like little earldoms that are basically fighting each other until the Targaryens came in and were like everybody is us now so like there would be a lot of interesting politicking and fighting and whatever and the Children of the Forest would add a really interesting piece to the story I think or like the beginning of the Night's Watch who built that freaking wall brand the builder okay I mean I guess but like having somebody be like you know what we need is a giant giant wall you know I'll tell you what I'll tell you the show that I think could do really well outside House of the Dragon is the Duncan Egg show I think episodic kind of like that is still after Targaryens oh yeah yeah it is yeah for sure yeah I was just thinking in my head just like thinking about shows and I'm like man Duncan Egg would work maybe too close to the Mandalorian in Silver Guards during Targaryens when we left after the Conquest of the Targaryens yes it is yeah I want a Conquest movie which is interesting that like Dora Dora Martin basically takes the like AC like BC and AD that we have and applies that to the Targaryens yeah for Conquest after Conquest yep pretty cool silence I think I think we've done it I think we've covered Fire and Blood covered Fire and Blood yeah not really but I mean we did it well at least an hour as much as we're going to there's entirely too much to like actually dig into everything yeah at a vote you literally have to do like read a chapter a week and then like yeah you can do a podcast and that's whenever we were talking about it and I would say well we could break it up in parts but honestly I think I think we we hit on the points that we really enjoyed what we found to be strengths of it and I think that's what people wanted this is the book that I'd probably say is the one I'm most interested in re-reading currently because I mean I'm not going to do it right now but you know this is the one that I definitely don't know the most about so I can pick up new things on a re-read for sure there's also just like you're much more likely to have missed something because if you it's a sentence you've missed ten years of history without a doubt that's why somebody in my discord was just like he said I'm impressed that you managed to get through all of the book in a week there's so much information in there and I was like yeah I didn't retain all of it though there's no way I know everything that happened in this book I forget about books that I read two weeks ago so do I but that's why I just also feel like reading a history book which is why I would often feel stressed about actually passing a test because I'd be like I mean as I was reading it I was getting it but if you expecting me to remember the name and the date which is what this multiple choice question will be I would just go out during the fire are they definitely going to do Duncan egg yeah they ordered the pilot so for what HBO? yeah for HBO it would have to be HBO it would be a cool show it would be a night's tale yeah I think they could do a lot with it an episodic night's tale it would be a lot of fun you know since Robert Baratheon is in a night's tale I was about to say that but I was like I've already said that before so good yeah when I first saw Game of Thrones I was like that's Roland from a night's tale as king he finally made it I mean he like passed up the night and shot straight for king I actually used to love that movie so I'm both making fun of it but also yes I kind of loved it because it's still like one of the best dragon movies that's ever existed because most movies they have dragons in them or just dog shit I was going to mention this earlier like when you were talking about Hobbes dragons and like Hobbes dragons remind me of the dragon and dragon heart yeah now Rain of Fire if you have not seen it is Christian Bale that's like learning about dragons a little bit and you have Matthew McConaughey who's got like a gnarly beard he's got a bald head he's like a marine like dragon hunter he wears like a dragon tooth necklace I'm just picturing like have you seen Tropic Thunder the guy that supposedly wrote the war story that they're basing this movie off of that's Matthew McConaughey in Rain of Fire it's fantastic and they fight dragons and it's cool but yeah I mean as much as I was saying most of the time books I'm like oh dragons and 90% of the time like I hate it same with movies like most of the time like oh dragon but most movies get it wrong and I'm like no I hate this this is stupid yeah that's true I mean as bad as the Hobbit movies are it did give us Benedict Cumberbatch's Smog which is like pretty great they're fine we have Sherlock and Watson as Smog and Bilbo if they weren't open films they would be great fantasy film I don't know not the third one the first one is pretty good I don't know I had a good time I mean they're nowhere near they're fine the third one the third one has Legolas jumping on ice that is falling and he's jumping on it as it's falling yeah it was fine if you're a kid you'd be loving it I was a child when I saw the two towers I thought it was awesome that Legolas slid down an orc shield that is way better than the jumping on rocks it's total shenanigans or climbing up onto an elephant and then sliding down its trunk you'd be like huh but the difference is I was in the theater seeing Return of the King and when Legolas single-handedly owned that elephant the audience of adults erupted into applause I was in the theater when I saw Legolas jumping on rocks as they're falling and everyone groaned so not the same it's a very pessimistic groan also happens when you're born in a popular character into a movie that he had nothing to do with but anyway the battle of five armies is like two pages of the homage but that's an entire three hour movie anyway yes he is the best dragon voice do you want to wrap up with anything not any wisdom to share Jimmy or the expert cliffhanger of if we're going to do a world of ice and fire or a different empire of the vampire you just straight upset it she said it she let the cat off the back I think the cat's been out of the back yeah I forgot this has been a lot of fun we could probably do the world of ice and fire but I don't know when I don't know what I could do Jimmy this is great this is a lot of fun I want to do it again soon so as soon as we get wins in winter we have to do this all over again I think we will we can agree to that if and when wins gets a release date we'll do this again and we'll go back through the books again I'm down I'm definitely down do we have to sign in blood somewhere I'll tell you what this is good Liana do we get the wins of winter yes or no do we get it ever yes I agree we won't get wins if you are going to ask about dreams of spring we will not get a dream of spring we might get another dunk and egg we will not get fire and blood part 2 no I agree I agree with all that I think by November 2025 that's my prediction you said end of 2025 November 2025 look at the next comment this is just Liana's favorite thing in the world let's do first law next that would be a lot of fun that is my next reread Liana have you read first law though did you just say you're rereading it Jimmy next year yeah I will join you if you will let me yeah I was hoping to do it this year but there's literally no way it's going to happen Liana are you saying you were going to reread for a slob again I mean you talked me into it you don't really strike me as a rereading kind of person no not at all right yeah not unless it's Joe Evercrombie luckily Joe Evercrombie's Trilogy's and entire Saga are arguably finished at least finished enough Hunter said guys this series of song vice fire live chats is great I usually don't watch stuff like this well yeah I'm glad you enjoyed it we wanted to yeah we wanted to do it because we still like love the books you know there's a lot of stuff that's polarizing around the series but at the end of the day I think what's published is really great and still some of the best fantasy and fiction that we have so and also after the show like it was really good to go back and be like okay but what was actually in the books because like my brain is very muddied with especially books four and five I mean especially books four and five people doing their first rereads with us or first reads I should say that's awesome that's awesome I think it stuck out to me immediately when I started reading a game of thrones and I was like there is way more in this book one yeah I remember being in it that I thought was like because it was stuff that would happen like later in the show was like that happened in the game of thrones what it's pretty crazy yeah I wouldn't be here I wouldn't be on booktube I wouldn't be reading all these books that I've read first all by some fire so I'm personally deaded to George and we wouldn't have first law without that is true so I'm personally deaded to George oh there's the anphic for you right there that's a tough one yeah I think it's it's a hard one it depends on if they're drunk honestly the wins a winner will tell us a lot because Tyrion won't have all of his money in his status he's working his way back up a lot of his weight is based on I have money it was the friends we met along the way yeah I think the valon car prophecy will probably be Tyrion by the way it's not Jamie I think it's going to be Tyrion I hope it's Jamie I thought I had convinced you that it was Jamie in a previous live show so I need you to go back and watch that and be reconvinced I'm not saying it's totally impossible I just think that the way that Tyrion has constant dragon dreams and talks about fantasizing about burning his family and burning castley rock I think Cersei gets displaced in the wins a winner from west rose heads back to castley rock Tyrion shows up with dany he burns castley rock it's an atrocity Jamie I don't remember what my argument was but I remember you being pressed by it it's ultimately because it would be like the final complete opposite end of the spectrum for Jamie to end up being the one that kills Cersei because she's so out of control that he has to and he has to fall in his sword one last time and take her out and not get toppled by Bricks because that was just dumb she's hateful and I'm hateful but I think it would work better thematically if it was Jamie Tyrion feels a little bit too like obvious but he already killed tywin and if he's also going to kill Cersei I would love it for Jamie's character arc to have to be the one to take her down make the kingslayer a kinslayer I also think that Tyrion kills Jamie but that's a whole nother can of worms I don't see that I don't either I don't remember in the books when they split I mean they I know he's kind of a dick he's way more jerky jerky in the books than he's in the show but it took a lot for him to kill tywin and overall over the course of a lifetime Jamie has been pretty good to him he's pretty mad about tywin but of course what it's all building towards is that tywin is a secret Targaryen Jesus Christ fair enough confirmed Jamie could use a rope or something that's the real reason that tywin didn't want him to be with tywin because like Targaryen's brother and sister because Tyrion we know is a secret Targaryen and if tywin is also a secret Targaryen and tywin is like none of this incest absolutely not so that's why he put a stop to that confirmed you heard it here also yes steven paisley is everything and yes he has one hand he can't strangle her so that was part of his blood that was part of his blood and it was awesome it was awesome and I'm really glad to have done this with you guys this has been really fun yes thank you guys for doing this this was one of the highlights of my my past year on booktube I would say and I even got to meet Jim or our Martin you know yeah that was a goaded it was terrific and I got through so much of my asonga rice and fire whiskey it's like not even funny yeah the many drinks were had I've had those bottles for so long and now they're all empty so yeah thanks all and we will reconvene when uh when jimmy's ready when when the winter happens when george is ready yeah good night

Because in ITBP, you have to just be part of a certain kind of job profile. But in DENIX and DENIX, you have to move to different places and serve in different capacities. Here also, ITBP also go to different places? Sir, particularly the Indochina border, sir, only. Only Indochina border? Yes, sir. There are some internal security duties also, but they are limited in ITBP, sir. Okay. Tell me what is common among these three service chiefs? Sir, they are from the same NDA batch, sir. So, how it will help? Sir, there will be synergy between these service chiefs because now we are moving towards theatre command structure. We are thinking about moving to theatre command structure. So, if they are of the same batch, have a synergy and we can see that in the parade, all the three chiefs were present for the army chief. Okay. Now, we will be having new parliament building. Yes, sir. Where? Centre Vista project, sir. So, how it will be different from the old one? Sorry, sir, I am not aware about it. More capacity? Yes, sir. Shape also different? Yes, sir.  Oh, right. You heard about that? No, sir. What is that emblem? Sir, I am not. What is our emblem? Sir, four lines and certain object. What else is there in that emblem, other than lines? The wheel with 24 spokes. That's all. And animals, sir? What kind of animals? Sir, as far as I remember, one deer and one tiger, I guess. So, I am not sure about it. Not sure about it. Okay. Sir, just tell me, we have been, there have been talks that Russia trade will stop and that will become poplar, sanctions are there because they are exporting a lot of things. What Russia is importing from our place? What exports of India are going to Russia? Sir, sorry, sir, I am not aware. I am just aware that Indian pharmaceutical companies are there, sir. One is pharma products, sir. Any other thing, Major? Sir, the defense trade is a major component. Defenses? We are importing only, sir. I am talking about export, our export. Sir, I am not aware, sir. Okay. And what is our export target this year? Last year, we were very happy that we achieved this much. Yes, sir. This year is how much? Sorry, sir, I am not aware. Okay. You stayed in Delhi for some time? No. Yes, sir, as part of SBI and as part of ITVP sports.  Yes, sir. Do you know what are those names? Names? I am not aware, but I have seen some of them. Where you have seen? On the Delhi Noda border, sir. On the Delhi Noda border. And one towards the Delhi Haryana border. And the third I have not seen, sir. Okay. Because? Yes, sir. You are from Sikha district? Yes, sir. I have now been to Sikha district. Sir. What should I, if I have to go to Sikhar, what should I see? Sir, there is a famous temple of Sri Krishna, Khatushamji temple. Sir, you must visit there. Apart from this, we have a number of Havelis there in Lakshman guide as well as in Fatehpur. So, sir, you must visit them, sir. Rajasthan had recently made some amendments with respect to marriageable age. Sorry, sir. There was a law passed on marriageable age. You are familiar with this? No, sir. Government of India is thinking about it, but I am not aware about transplants. Rajasthan issue. Okay. One of the keywords which I see in your daff is Ubuntu. Yes, sir. What is Ubuntu? Sir, it is a South African word, sir. It means coming together, people coming together. Basically, it is an operating system. It is a Linux-based operating system. Ubuntu and Linux are the same or it is different? Sir, it is a flavor of a Linux system. Like a version? Like a version. So, in Linux, we call it a flavor. There are a number of flavors like Open Solaris, Open Suci and a number of these, sir. So, how come Ubuntu and Linux never picked up compared to Microsoft and Mac operating systems? Sir, earlier the GUI of these graphical user interface of these operating systems were very rudimentary and you have to work in those like environment. So, people were not aware about these systems and no particular big company is installing these operating systems in their computer. Basically, the Dell is doing it. Apart from these, no company were doing this. So, what is the current status of the operating system? Has it been changed? Yes, sir. Definitely. After 2010, the GUI of these operating systems, basically all the Linux systems have changed so much that it is now comparable to the Windows system. And even Windows is using the drivers from this operating system, sir. Okay. Open source drivers. You are familiar with Mac operating system also? Yes, sir. How is it different from Linux and Ubuntu operating system? Sir, Mac operating system is a version of Unix. We can classify it as Unix. It is a proprietary and other things are same because the commands of these Mac as well as the Linux are almost same. There are some variations. Okay. You are currently employed with ITBP? Sir, I resigned last year, sir. You resigned last year. What was one of the most challenging experience you had while working with ITBP and how did you deal with that? Sir, during this ongoing conflict with China on Southern Bank of Penguinsu, I was the post commander of that post, sir. So, first of all, that meant power at that time because we never thought that this kind of thing can happen. So, the meant power, I was having very less. So, on the intervening night of 29th and 30th of August, when this happened, I was having only 40 to 45 personnel. So, and fighting strength was 40 for me. And then, on the other hand, the PLA has around 250 plus personnel. So, I have to plan where I have to put my weapons because there are some support weapons with me like MMGs. So, I had to plan where all I have to put them. So, that was the biggest challenge and then we have managed that and we ensure that we should not create such a situation like Galwan. Because in Galwan, we lost life of our men. Here, because I was having less strength, I didn't go for face-off and try to provoke them. I technically handled the situation by putting my arms and I asked my seniors that if they told me that if only they cross the LSE, then only I should fire. Without that, I shouldn't do anything. What is the current status of that borderline? Sir, on the southern bank of Pangongso, there is a disengagement on Pangongso. But on the Debsan plain, disengagement yet to be happened and there are a number of meetings, 15 meetings are there, BPM meetings are there. So, still we are not basically de-escalated the situation. So, forces are backed off but still they are heavy deployment of there. As a student of political science, how do you think we should deal with China? Sir, for this, there should be two options. There should be two plans. First, internal balancing by increasing our economy and through economy strengthening our military power also. And external balancing, second option is the second part is external balancing where we have to take support of like-minded countries and create alliances or security platforms like Quad so that we can handle this Chinese situation. How has the positions of India and China changed internationally after the Ukraine-Russia crisis? Sir, India's situation, basically we have shown that we have strategic autonomy. And with China, they showed that they will go for their own interest by supporting Russia or not trying to hold the Russia's aggressions. Okay. One of your hobbies is photography. Yes, sir. What do you photograph? Sir, the natural thing, sir. So, what devices do you use? Sir, I have a DSLR, Nikon D700. So, what restrictions to photography are there in border regions? Sir, the most important restrictions are that some areas are out of bounds for the photography. Because I was on a playground, so it was very picturesque and very natural. But you can't take a photo. But I can't take the photo, sir. Even as an ITVP officer, you cannot take a photo. Yes, sir, because then I have to take that in my computer and I cannot have that on my personal equipment, sir. Okay. Reading non-fictional books. What is the last book that you have read? Sir, Class of Civilization by Samuel P. Huntington. Okay. Can you tell me some key takeaways from Class of Civilization? Sir, the- Is it still relevant? That's the question. Sir, this book was written in 1996 on a paper of 1992. So, the author tried to show that the now conflicts in the world will be based on civilizational conflicts. So, he divided into different civilizations and then showed the conflicts. And about current relevance, he, the author, wrote in that book that there will be a fight in Ukraine and Russia will try to divide the Ukraine into two parts. Why? Because Ukraine itself is divided into two civilizations. The eastern part, which is Russian-speaking part, and is having an orthodox Christian religion or civilization. And the western part, which is having western civilization. So, it is bound to be divided. So, yes, sir. I think there is some relevance in this theory, sir. You have already worked in police. Yes. Why not fill IPS as the first option? I think you could have done better over there. Sir, first, I always have dreamed for Indian administration services. Apart from this, sir, for me, because I worked in this field as well as in SBI, as well as in IT, I thought that I should have something which is, which give me broader horizon. That is why I selected IES. Okay. So, you are not working anywhere right now? Yes, sir. Okay. All right. Joint conference of Chief Justices and Chief Minister was held. Yes, sir. Did you follow that? Yes, sir. So, what thought came on discussion? Yes, sir. On the honorable Chief Justice, what he said that, see, there is a first of all infrastructure lag is there because of which there is a number of litigations. And he also talked about the government as a biggest litigant. Apart from this, CJI pointed out that the PIL, the public interest litigation, become personal interest litigation. So, we should create such kind of harmony, such kind of judicial system where the justice should be given to everybody, sir. Okay. Do you think the Supreme Court often crosses the Lakshman Rehka, which was also talked about? Sir, there are different views on this. There is one concept of judicial activism and other as a judicial overage. In my opinion, judicial activism like PIL is good. Judicial overage like appointing a lokiyut of a state, it should be, the Supreme Court should have a stand on that person. Do you think it is right for the judiciary to step in when the legislature and executive fails? Ideally, if the legislature and executive is failing, they will go for elections and public will vote them out. Why should judiciary step in? Sir, because a judiciary is given the role of protecting the constitution of India and the sovereignty of India. So, sometimes when the aspiration of people are not able to be translated through executive or legislature, then judiciary should come into pictures. Okay, all right. How has been PM's visit to Denmark and Germany till now? Sir, it was good because we are going for green energy with the Denmark. However, the Denmark's Prime Minister's statement yesterday that India should try to stop Russia from war in Ukraine. So, I think we have to take it like we have to take the balanced view for this that everybody is playing its geopolitical goals. Okay. What is the composition of Nordic countries and Scandinavian countries? Sir, I am not aware, sir. Okay. India also has some Nordic conference also. Sir, we are part of Arctic Council Observatory status. Okay, all right. Which non-fictional books have you read recently? Sir, one, as I told earlier, is MLP Huntington's Clash of Civilization. Other is Why Nations Fail. One other book I just completed was Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. What is that book about? Sir, that is the first book which talked about the environmental degradation because of this pesticide use. So, this book can be considered as the first literary evidence that the people are talking about the environmental degradation. It was written in around 1962, sir. Okay. And what are they in the environmental degradation because of pesticides? Sir, basically, see, last year we have seen the locus attack, this kind of thing. Then we have, see, some food grade shortage and the, you know, the poison in the food items just because of this pesticide, sir. Okay. What all places did you serve in ITPP? Sir, I was posted in Delhi, in Jammu and Leh. Okay. Delhi in the headquarters? Yes, sir. What was your role? Sir, I was working in the intelligence department, sir. Okay. So, ITPP also has its own intelligence? Yes, sir. Okay. And they'll focus on the Indochina thing? Yes, sir. And what all other agencies do they work with? Sir, IB, NIA, as well as the ROPE. NIA also? Yes, sir. Why? Sir, there are some links because we are training and everything, sir. Okay. Or internal security also we are working with them, sir. Okay, okay. You also do photography? Yes, sir. So, like Facebook and Instagram has actually fueled discontent among the youth? Sir, in some aspects, yes, because it's a platform for spreading the propaganda. So, this may have fueled some discontent. However, it is also a part of expressing yourself and then this influencer and the people are starting earning money from this also, sir. Okay. What is the role of aperture and photography? So, it's all about, sir, photography, it's all about light. With aperture, we can control the light, what light will be their own sensor, sir. Okay. And does having more megapixels lead to better picture quality? Sir, when we print something, it's megapixel is a number of pixels per square centimeter, also inch, I am not sure, sir. So, if mere megapixels are there, there will be better picture. However, the size of sensor is also important. For example, in mobiles, we have 50 megapixels of camera. However, with DSLR of having 18 or 20 megapixel, we are having good picture if you print it. So, what happens that the sensor size is also important because it will compress the photo. Okay. Thank you. You just shared a plan that how India should deal with China. Yes, sir. Okay. So, where do we stand on the plan which you shared? First of all, in economic terms, we are moving towards the 5 trillion economy. Earlier, it was slated for 2025, but now as I am a projected, we can be achieving it by 2029 fiscal year. And on the military front, we are now having a serious chief of defense staff, and now we are moving towards basically this theater command concept also. In terms of external balancing, we are working with the like-minded countries like USA, Australia, Inquad, and also through supply chain initiative. You are from Sikar. Yes. What are the major issues in the district? The major issue is of child sex ratio. So, we are having some issues. In some areas, there is a issue of drinking water. Drinking water. And how do you think this issue, child sex issue, can be addressed? Well, there is first important part is awareness, because what happens that people are not aware that what negative impact this will have on the society and even on their family. So, child sex ratio is mostly about awareness and then strictly following the rule and implementing in later in the spirit. Like what kind of rule? Basically, we have laws for that, female infanticide load, PCP and DTV laws we have. So, we have to implement them in later in the spirit. So, what is stopping the administration in implementing them? Then earlier it was the case, the child sex ratio of Triple 8 was part of 2011 census. However, in now an FHS-5 data said that we have the child sex ratio is improved a lot. It is like around 1918 or something. So, we are improving on that. Yes, earlier we had problems, but now the things are changing now. So, why is Rajasthan hub for solar power? Ma'am, because we have lot of empty land there. So, because in solar power we need lots of lot of sun as well as lot of empty land so that we can put large solar power plants. Is land availability the only reason or is there any other factor? Ma'am, geographically we are also in such location that we can get solar light. Solar light, availability of land. Anything, any support from government side, any infrastructure which is required? Ma'am, we have different schemes like Koshum scheme which is implemented in Rajasthan hub. Okay. Which is the most advanced country in the world in IT sector? Ma'am, United States of America. Okay. And why do you think that it is the most advanced country? What they are doing so differently that they are always ahead of time? Ma'am, they are center of excellence in IT sector is Silicon Valley and it was ahead because the number of colleges, the universities there, public funded universities there are very good for example, Stanford University and MIT. So, they fuel number of good students there and they start their own startups like Google and everything was early startup only. So, now even our honorable prime minister and the government is focusing a lot on the IT sector in India. And there's a huge gap if you see between the most advanced country and us. So, how do you think that we can expedite the process and what all needs to be done? Ma'am, our focus should be on startups. Basically what happens that people have ideas but they could not get the funds for their ideas. So, the startup ecosystem should be made such that we have good IT sector. In this we have to focus on basically is doing business like getting the registration, like enforcement of contract or the availability of electricity. No, I didn't get you. You are saying startup, how will startup help you? How will it accelerate the growth of IT? Ma'am, what happens that we have only few number of big IT companies like Infosys, like TCS. If we have to expand, we have to make number of companies. For example, how US IT industry developed. First, Google came up, then Apple came up. But you just said that before that there are good colleges. You started with colleges and universities that they are all government funded and they are very good colleges. So, don't you think that before startups or before having the companies, the emphasis should be on creating some kind of research centering, cubation centering the colleges and universities? When it is already in place, for last 7-8 years it is already in place. At a tinkering labs is there and the ecosystem is also over. Is it sufficient? Yes ma'am, I think it is working progress and in future we will be seeing good results. Fine. What is the latest happening in IT sector? Any new development, new technologies? Now the time is of industrial revolution 4.0, where the things are based on artificial intelligence and internet of things and deep learning. PM is on Dribble, Mr. Modi is supposed to visit Nepal. Are you aware of it? No ma'am, sir. Okay. And what is your view on China and India relationship after this Russia and Ukraine war? I mean my view the aggression of China will increase. Because the Russia-Ukrainian war has shown the world that West is not capable enough right now to intervene in such kind of aggression. What about India and China? I am asking about their relationship. Ma'am, the aggression of China will increase in terms of India's borders. Fine. Thank you. Okay, because your interview is over. Thank you sir. You have done quite well. Good, very good energy. Thanks. At this time, just maintain eye contact with other members. Sir. When you are responding to one, maintain eye contact. Keep on reading. I think I don't have any. I think smiling face, good energy. Some answers were too quick. Things like maybe I don't know initially just take knowledgeable, good posture, moving on confidently. Overall it was a great experience. Make sure you bring an opportunity to talk about this ITBB experience in the bottom. That will work in your favor. Sir, I also gave one more interview. In that I was given this suggestion that you should not bring it to ITBB. I think it's something that very few people have opportunity to solve. They will definitely ask. Once it comes to ITBB day last, that China problem also. How you handled that experience? I think that is a very good experience that you can show. Other 1800 candidates won't have it. That's why you are running away. You have to face difficulties there. That's why you resigned. That also prepare for that. Overall you are very energetic, very knowledgeable. You have a very interesting time. I don't have anything to say at such. You will do well. Except for one or two places, I think that you spoke little fast. It was difficult to catch up with your speed also and energy also at some places. That is the only feedback I have except that some of the answers were closed very abruptly. Immediately it was a very abrupt closure. I think that's it. Otherwise very nice.


Okay, hi. Welcome back to my channel, welcome to another video! First thing I apologise for, um, the lack of effort. I'm wearing a hoodie and I'm sat on the floor. Uh, I'm just really coming over today, I'm really hungover. I just think, now I'm in my 20s, I really can't drink anymore. Obviously I will continue to do. Um, but we're doing a she and hall! Not just any she and hall, I'm doing bikinis. Boris is letting us have our summer, which is really exciting and I cannot wait! So obviously I need some new bikinis and I see she and bikinis everywhere, so I thought I'd try them. I have done a she and hall once on my channel before. Uh, I just want to say I barely ever shopped from there. I mean they're not great brands, let's be honest. Um, anyway, the last she and hall that I did was unsponsored, as this one is. Purely because every she and hall that I ever see on YouTube is always sponsored or at least gifted because she and want to work with everyone and their mum. So I always say no and do unsponsored halls and people get really annoyed. Uh, the last video didn't really go down too well. Um, so I'm back because I miss the drama in my life. Let's just get started. I've got a bunch of bikinis. Okay, firstly, this is how they all come in. So good for the environment. Like, why did they have to come in a plastic bag in a plastic bag? Anyway, this is the first bikini. She is this beautiful little purple, pastel-y, purple-y, what's this, lilac? Good start. Firstly, I also just want to say I got all of these in the smallest size possible, which I think for bikinis, they only do like small, medium, large and extra large. Not a great size range, but I got a small or the smallest size in all of these. Just for reference, I'm a six, UK six. But it's a little, just a little triangle, tie back and front. They always come with these weird little circular pads that I always take out because they just, they just make everything worse. But it's like a little cute ribbed material, feels all right to be fair. And then this is what the bottoms look like. Again, tie sides, very cheeky. She said no coverage, but they're really high waisted, which I love because it's really flattering. The only thing I would say about this is like the white lining kind of pops through.  Okay, so this is how I'm going to film the try-on clip. I can't show you the bottoms. One, because I'm on period, I don't want to ruin them. And two, they're very inappropriate and I don't know if I can show that online. This is the first one. Gorgeous, she fits really well. But as I suspected, you can see the like white lining coming through. Do you know what? I actually really don't mind it. I think because it is a light color, as I said, it doesn't matter too much. And like from far away, you wouldn't be able to see. Next one, let's go for this. Okay, I got this in two colors. Okay, actually I'm going to show you this color first because it's just is iconic. Like I'm getting complete Elwoods vibes from this bikini. Uh-huh, it's hot pink and covered in glitter. How beautiful is that? Again, it's just high top inside triangle, itchy-ish. I'm not going to lie, a little bit itchy. And then these are the bottoms. This one, the back isn't lined, which is interesting. The front is, but the back isn't and I'm not going to lie.  Okay, I am obsessed, as I knew I would be, just with the color and just everything about this bikini. It fits really well. They're really good sizes. Obviously, I don't have anything up here. So if you have bigger boobs, I would definitely size up. But yeah, she is gorgeous. I think with the black one, I'm going to try, you know when they do it like you wear it the other way around? I'm going to try that just to see if it works. And then yeah, I also got that same one in the black because I was really enjoying the fact that it was glittery. So here is the black one. Wow, she looks sparkly. Obviously, it's exactly the same. The bottoms, again, are unlined in the back. But at least they did black lining for this. So like if it pops through, it doesn't look bad. But I just don't know why they couldn't do that with the back. Okay, right. I've done it like the other way round. And I do think it works, although I am very concerned that my nipples are like right here and they will come out at any second. So like if you have any boobs whatsoever, I don't know if this would work. I think the cuffs might be too small. I don't know, does it even look that different to like the first, the normal way? Not really. Although it works, I guess. It does look kind of cool. Okay, let's mix up the style a little bit. I got a white bikini because obviously white bikini with a natural tan. That is just, okay, this one feels really good quality. Compared to the others. Like they felt cheap. So it's like, this is more of a cup style. I have a feeling this might be too big. Quite of a gap in between these two cups. And I am not blessed with boobs. They are coming soon and they're costing a lot of money. So it's got two little cups tie in the middle and then it's, the varsanar at the back is like one of these things. There you go. Annoying that the straps aren't adjustable. Oh, and that just fell apart. Like within seconds. So that's also not a good sign. But yeah, it's got under wiring in it. And then this is what the bottoms look like. These are cute. Yeah, they feel really thick and much better quality. They are completely double lined. The whole way across. Yeah, they got two little bits on the side, which is cute.  Okay, so this is the top on. I think it looks really nice, but I don't know if you can tell by the fit of this, but it's really, there's no, like that doesn't touch my skin basically. It's like, I don't know how to explain it. It's really tight up here. Like I feel really secure there, but there's just no, nothing holding it down. And the back is really high because these straps aren't long enough. Bit confused. I mean, I think it would look really nice in like a picture because I do think it looks good, but doesn't fit great. Okay, this one is a bit interesting for me. Push the bow out a bit. Don't usually wear, I mean, this color combination would usually be a big no from me, but I thought it was interesting. It's black. It's got neon like lining. No, neon piping, neon edges. The night babes, I don't work in fashion. But again, the straps aren't adjustable. The back is obviously also not adjustable. So we just got to hope that it fits. And then the bottoms, they're really, I ain't gonna fit in that. What, what, hello. Absolutely nothing on the bottom either. I don't know how I'm gonna try this on for you guys. Okay, so I do like it. I like the shape of it a lot, but it is too big for me. I don't know if it's, if it's like the whole bikini that's too big or it's just these straps that are too long. And obviously they're not adjustable, which means I can't fix it, but you can see this is like gaping. But if these straps were adjustable, it would like support them more and it would be fine. So I might see if I can just like do a botch job and adjust the straps myself because otherwise I actually do really like the bikini. I don't know, what do we think? Maybe size down for this one if you are getting it. And then we've got another one that I got in two different colors. I got it in a black and a brown because I'm really trendy and fashionable. And I know the brown is a popular color. This is the bottoms, tie sides again. A bit more coverage this time. Not much. Double line though, which is a good start. And then this is the top. It's kind of like, I don't really know how to describe it. The pictures will do it a lot better. They're kind of like triangles, but they've obviously got this lettuce trim and they're all like whooshed, ruffled, I don't know.  So I don't really know how that's gonna work. I feel like it's gonna ride right up into my underarms. So I feel like this might even look better on camera than it does in real life, but this is just not good. It looks like I'm wearing a paper bag and also I was right about just what is this? It's too confusing to wear, I don't get it. But then you pull that tighter and it's pulled like this right into my underarm. I don't get it.  I'm not a fan of this style, I don't think.  That doesn't look that bad on camera, but I promise you it looks way worse in real life. And then this is the black one. Again, same style. I've taken the cups out of this one just so you can kind of see, you know, what I'm talking about. And then the bottoms, well, this one's just come right apart, hasn't it? That looks brilliant.  But yeah, double lined. They feel pretty good. Not gonna be see-through, which is always a good start when choosing bikinis. Okay, we're on our last bikinis, girls.  This is like a little three piece, I think is what they call them. So we have the bottoms, which are only single lined, but definitely the most coverage we've seen so far. Double lined at the front, not at the back. It's got these gorgeous little silver metallic detail bits. Just to make it look a little bit fancier, you know, although they feel like nothing. So, and then this is the top. Say we've got that little metallic bit in the middle and just bright pink triangles, tie sides and back, which we love so that we can adjust it. Well, I mean, I've got gold jewelry on, so that's probably not doing the silver bits justice, but yes, please thank you. I'm obsessed with this color. I have a little bit of fake tunnel right now, but there is so much more time to come when I am in Bali. This actually feels really good and the size is perfect. I'm a 32V if you want any size reference. Oh my goodness, I'm kneeling right now. Gorgeous. Thank you very much, Sheehan. And then it comes with what looks like, I don't know, pulled out of a child's fancy dress costume or something that you're meant to like tie around your waist. It literally looks like this is worth about two P at a push. So I'm not entirely sure. Like it is literally just, there's not even any shape to it. It's just a rectangle that you can't even see. So I don't know how that's going to look. I don't really imagine I'll be wearing that unless I want to look really tacky one day, which could happen. I've got these ridiculous silver shoes. Let me try. Let me show you them. That really would just make this outfit because you know, the silver matches the silver. Here they are. They're like silver wedges, obviously.  Although I don't really understand how it ties.  That is how I'm going to be living my life this summer. And I absolutely cannot wait for it. And I don't care what you think darling. I don't care. Anyway, that's all the bikinis kids. Thanks so much for watching. I really hope you enjoyed this. I really hope our summer plans all come true because I really think we all need it. And I too want to be wearing a bright pink sequined bikini in the pool and not just in my bedroom. Give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it. Please subscribe if you aren't. I would really appreciate it. And I'll see you guys next week with another video. Bye.
