First of all, the funding info: #RationChallengeUK, @ConcernUK. Here is the link to the donations: Subhadeep’s Ration Challenge UK 2021 Here we are, the end of Ration Challenge 2021.

Ration Challenge Day-5: Melancholy Strikes

First of all, the funding info: #RationChallengeUK, @ConcernUK. Here is the link to the donations: Subhadeep’s Ration Challenge UK 2021 When I finished the day yesterday I felt a sense of achievement that I’m half way through and I was quite upbeat about the surge in sponsorship I received on Day 4.

First of all, the funding info: #RationChallengeUK, @ConcernUK. Here is the link to the donations: Subhadeep’s Ration Challenge UK 2021 Well, well, well…I never expected this.

First of all, the funding info: #RationChallengeUK, @ConcernUK. Here is the link to the donations: Subhadeep’s Ration Challenge UK 2021 After yesterday’s dismal start, where I overestimated my endurance to hunger, the second day was about staying vigilant and dig deep. I also was slightly nervous about working in half-empty (or half-full) stomach and functioning. The day went well and it brings…

First of all, the funding info: #RationChallengeUK, @ConcernUK. Here is the link to the donations: Subhadeep’s Ration Challenge UK 2021 So, it’s finally happening. On yesterday’s post I mentioned about various dilemmas I’ve faced but in the end, I started the challenge in high spirits.
