Hi guys hopping into this thread and will try to post my daily targets regularly. Looking forward to having a great community experience like the famous 2021 thread with good friends@nerdfighter @SergioRamos @AzadHindFauz @Rashmirathi @Jammu
Avengers assemble? 😬
Take me in
@Neyawn arent you available for the mentor booking? everytime I open, no slots are available for you
I saw people venting out their thoughts, fears, pain, happiness on this platform. Gathered enough courage today to write something I often feel. I called it courage because I'm a person who don't express anything to anyone.
It's been 2 years .....I came back home from Delhi due to lockdown. I was comfortable with studying in the library. 2 months after coming back, I lost my both grandparents. In the next one month, I had prelims.....my mother tested Covid positive 3 days before prelims......I hardly read anything for 3 months before prelims. I failed miserably in prelims. Moreover I was mentally n physically exhausted. It took almost 6 months for our family to recover n get back to normal.
What I didn't notice is I was not normal. As I started to study after many months, I couldn't concentrate. There were days where I struggled to read even a single page. But when someone disturbs me I became furious. I used to cry badly.
Every day in the morning I have to help my mother in packing lunch for my parents n sibling. When I sit back to study there comes a knock everyday....milk man.......then another knock between 11-1pm comes maid whenever she wanted to. I also involve in household work in the evening, as my parents would get tired after coming from work. So I tried to study at night but it badly affected my health. Adding to this people come home frequently. They don't leave without asking me. Some even said that I was giving lame excuses. Some said that sending children to Civils coaching has become a social status... literally on my face.
In the beginning I thought it was ok, I can adjust to this routine. But over 2 years just sitting at home with no other activity, negativity started creeping in....... cognitive distortions.......crying for everything.......unable to concentrate......always feel low on energy....feel worthless .....are these really excuses?.....Can change in environment help me come out of this brain fog?
.
@Neyawn prelims has to be prepared from January, leaving everything aside
But is it not a good idea to write SFGs on weekdays and mains test on weekends as many things are overlapping in GS?
And consider if one is scoring good in sfg tests cant he/she ‘balance’ mains with prelims in jan and half feb atleast?
22, 23, 24, and 25 July were 0 days and went to TRASH.Few learnings/rants/observations from last 25 days-- The first thought which comes to a Delhite's mind (especially the auto walas/coolie) isn't "Should I scam this guy?", but it is "How much should I scam this guy?" and the answer is "as much as possible"- I've learnt how to stare at your ceiling fan for 12 hours and sleep for the same amount. Perfectly balanced as all things should be.- We uselessly put a lot of detergent just bcos we can, but we don't need to. Have some pity on your beautiful clothes.- People who do not wear white sneakers at least once a week come under the inspection of Intelligence agencies.- Monologues are always better than dialogues, so I avoid making friends.- If it wasn't for Lutyens Delhi and the metro, Delhi doesn't deserve to be the capital of India. But sigh, TINA.- The Internet is the most wonderful human invention only after the photocopy machines, so Thou shall collect as much material as possible.- Delhi is in a perpetual state of flood. Flood of (useless) summaries, compilations, notes, answer writing book by yet another topper who spends her 'precious' time marketing it and wooing aspirants. I have easily avoided all of them though because I simply do not touch any books.- Rewatched 'Andhadhun'. Watched 'RK/RKAY'. Both are very well written, someday I hope to write something 1% as good as these.- Black coffee is an acquired taste.- I can now Iron my Clothes, without iron.- As a kid, I had the main character vibes but I've realised I'm not the main character, I'm not even the side character, forget this, I was removed from the first batch of auditions, bleh.- I despise the tag of "UPSC aspirant"(and many(all) other tags and things). I'll get rid of it asap, my eventual fate awaits me.Do not waste your time by reading/replying to my comments because "Time is extremely valuable"I waste my time writing these because "Time is extremely valuable and I prefer to waste it"
- If it wasn't for Lutyens Delhi and the metro, Delhi doesn't deserve to be the capital of India. But sigh, TINA ————>except this I’ll agree with most of your points. As a fake Delhiite I take a lot of pride in my crappy city. The weather sucks, people are an acquired taste, but Dili dilwalo ki h 😂😂
You get everything in Dilli except dil :(
@LetsGetThisBread being her best self yet again :P
I'm glad I'm still at a stage where I only receive news of pals getting married; seeing them become parents would require a different level of courage 😆
Much more yet to see :(
Got a newfound love for life. Love you zindagi!
I was hospitalised for the last 15 days, in the initial days my fever was hovering around 101 all the time even after heavy paracetamol. Blood tests, canola, syringes and all the painful tests I had gone through. Sometimes I felt Im losing myself in the war, even the doctors scared me as reason for high fever could not be diagnosed. It was so painful that words wont be enough to explain.
Not only my experience but I heard about a 4 month old baby admitted in the hospital. In the emergency, I heard noises of family of a man in 30s crying who died of an accident. My nurse told me about another man who died in ICU. One of my roomates had to go through MRI to spot a blood clot in brain which was causing hazy vision to him. A diabetic aunty who was not able to move her right hand beyond a point after a road accident. An alcoholic college boy had destroyed his pancreas or liver I couldn't remember to whom the doctor said youll die in 3 months if you dont quit alcohol. You get to know many things when you stay such a long time in hospital.
I came home today. Heaven. We take most of the things for granted, quality time with family and friends, all the UPSC pain everything is a blessing. Every painless breath is a blessing.
Naukri aur chokri, you get these desirable and life is set we used to say in college. These 15 days changed my whole perspective for looking towards life. Healthy and a painless life is indeed underrated
And I swear from today Ill never crib about shitty things like career and UPSC.
'Love you zindagi'
@D503 @Morticia @LetsGetThisBread thank you!! I am now recovering, this community now even feels like family<3
Showing signs of recovery now, biggest being Ive again started daydreaming again and I am loving it. From going to Venice after selection with family to holidaying at taj palaces to giving toppers talk at vision ias, my life and dreams are getting back on track! God being kinder on me :)
Went out for a walk just now however I was so weak that I could barely walk for 10 minutes, but considering my condition few days ago thats a good number too!
@Ghostwalker I puke my emotions on this thread, talk to my closest friends and it works.
@Neyawn long time no see?
Struggled with what I am covering these days. This has resulted in me having poor sleeping cycle, for I get stuck on a concept and do not feel like sleeping.
I have reached at the fag end of Climatology and I am somewhat relieved.My optional is stuck at Aurobindo Ghosh since a week and I need to pick up speed.
Doing the required essential tomorrow by committing myself to 7 am updates at least till this Sunday.
@Tata I just observed that you have been down since days. Get well, Fapstronaut
!
Shubh Ratri doston!
Thank you :) doing much better now. Will post targets on daily basis now, accountability needed!
Targets for 14 and 15
IR MGP test syllabus
Will write test on 16th after a month
How is everyone? Preparation going good?How is everyone? Preparation going good?Whim and impulse have taken control of the ship. I tried to placate them by taking help of senecaji but to no avail. Like a bunch of stubborn bratty child, they even taunted me trying to bait me into giving them a good thrashing. But i realised the more i try to be controlling and overbearing the more their defiance grows. So, for now i am waiting it out, hoping they get tired and go to sleep ,like all children do, and i may have my peace of mind back and i may get down to do some serious work XD
How is it going over there 😅
Something similar going on with me. Even I am going with the flow. Being out at prelims is such a different feeling. I want to study alot, but somehow just can't.
Same here. Keeping myself distracted and busy. I can read anything but upsc notes. I feel like puking.
Please iss platform ko revive karo koi. 2 years pehle jaisa.
Kaisa tha platform 2 saal pehle?
Ho jayega yaar. This reminds me of the story of the rabbit and the elephant. Rabbit and the elephant were expecting babies around the same time. Rabbit had many babies and made fun of the elephant which has a really long gestational period. But when the elephant baby was born and it grew up all the other animals looked at it in awe. Hum bhi haathi ka baccha paal rhe h, khargosh toh bohot milenge.
🍞 bread is amazing
@Lawstice you even put filters in making frnds why not in giving exams ;p
Beyy Done with my convocation. Finally an engineer. Gave this year's pre, didn't qualify.
Convocation ke baad we went to a trip, trip mai did all the fun you can expect from 22-23 year old.
Now I'm back! Full throttle mai padhai toh karni hai but some deep pains will share:
1. My friends earning in lumpsome amount and I'm not.
2. People looked up to me during my first year. Now I'm irrelevant. Not really. But I feel like so!!
3. It's hard for me to open up to my friends .
Bas itna hi.fun ka fomo nahi horaha muje, but feel I'll be alone. I'm sure uske liye you guys are there!
It would be better if you give me validation and stuff like that
Whenever I feel point 2 I tell myself whats the point being looked up by assholes?

Hey, it's been 2 years since my engineering graduation. About the fact that friends earning good salaries. Let me tell you what my friends say to me always.
"At least you know what you're doing and progressing towards that. And if you succeed, it would be much more than our jobs. We have no idea what we're upto right now. Paisa mil jaata h, maze kr lete h. Baaki nothing else. Even if you envy us so much, aa jaana 2-3 saal baad humare saath hi. Referrals se set krwa denge."
Relax and carry on with your prep. :)
Btw my college juniors had their convocation recently as well. Wondering if that's the case lol
I graduated this year...at the time of placements I was crying thinking what the fuck am I doing...sab mast placement leke baithe hai...now some of my friends are thinking of resigning...I dont know if I succeed or not and now I dont even care.....I love zindagi :) :)

Feeling much better now!! Enjoying at home sleeping and resting :)
I realised I'm losing friends, met a college friend last week and I was told that I've changed and vibes don't match as I'm relatively calm and quiet and think and speak.I did my graduation in pune, and my friends group had different goals. So, I cameback to my hometown to prepare for my exam as I was not getting any inspiration there, some of my school friends are preparing for CSE and some of them gave mains twice. So, I started to hang out with them and started preparing.I felt a little bad that I was told that I've changed and didn't really enjoy meeting my college friend (all they would talk about is trips and parties) but then I am the kind of person who'd always prefer a camping trip than go to a party.I don't know, because when I was with them I used to feel that I'm not this person and what I'm now is something I feel like being myself.I don't know what has drifted apart, but only some people get what I have been upto and why I can not pick their calls. Also, lost two of my really close friends from office which I came to know that one of them is married and didn't even bother to tell me.All this feels bad sometimes, but I don't know.anyways, sorry for the long rant.
I too lost many of my friends, maybe its pretty much common in 20s
20/09/2022 -
I have been a silent reader of this community so far. But seeing the banter here , seems like it is going to be fun.
@DancingMaster @Tata @Morticia @Rashmirathi @Ronaldo7 @LetsGetThisBread @Lawstice @Avixiva : Feels like I know you people from years. You people inspire.
Would be posting target from now onwards to maintain accountability.
उठो ये मंजर-ए-शब-ताब देखने के लिए,

Swagat hai…..I love this community…I met@Lawstice in Delhi and prefer calling him lawstice and not his real name ;)
Always pleasure to read comments here…Instagram and other social sites makes me feel sad…..this is the only one which refreshes my mind
@Neyawn thank you for making it :)
Can anyone suggest alternatives for coffee or tea?
@Lawstice any alternative which you take??
@DancingMaster समुंदर्मंथन में निकली थी क्या
Usiko toh leke ghor yudh hua tha.
Done with morning one and half hour. More to go. Time to grind. Wish I could listen my favourite songs w someone and vibe. Wish I could tell them why I like this song and then I really wish I we'll sing those songs together.
It hurts when you no longer have that someone. Slowly you stop listening to your favourite music, slowly you stop doing things that you enjoy because now those things remind you of that someone. You stop singing your favourite song, you stop watching your favourite show, you try to explore new things which may not necessary give you happiness.
Well exploring new things has it's pros and cons. I would want to explore new things with a positive and empty mind space. Which I don't think is possible for me right now. Or I would want to explore new things with people I feel comfortable with.
Am I a hopeless romantic ? Am I too emotional ? yadda yada. Do I overshare to random new people? YUP. Do they lose interest in me after I overshare ? YES. Why so though ? because I'm not mysterious anymore and people naturally curious about things. Once things become clear people aren't interested no more (':
BEEY BHAAY, can all this let's get back to studying economics.

I am thinking to start tinder version of ForumIAS ;)
Until you encounter creeps 😆
Oh ye bhi hote ,never encountered one 😂😂
Lucky you naa!😆
Perks of being a boy 😝
Sometimes even boys encounter creeps :(
Not denying the possibility at all!
Wish to shed some light or share some incident? 🤭
...
Maaro dumbbell se 😂
"Sorry Gandhiji" [on lines of Sorry Shaktiman 🤭]
Also my death stare has been working pretty efficiently till now if any such instance occurs (which is rare) 😝
Dudee I have joined gym too! But mine's in my society only, I workout with Aunties and one cute lil guy. It's fun.
Getting chills from imagining your death stare, I for sure wouldn't dare to approach you if I ever happen to see you in real life.
Never call Aunty an aunty....address them didi or ma'am
Thank me later :)
Also flirting with Aunties is fun

The girl who used to sit adjacent to me used to nudge me every now and then...I started moving away from my seat when she asked anything...I too am a nibba in UPSC.....she then started asking CSAT....she was also very touchy to me whenever she met outside the library...my intuition says she had a crush on me. But her creepy behavior irritated me :(
Yayy! "Stud boy!"
I know man. Also being polite in such circumstances aggravates their behaviour and your irritation.
ejaclty
@LetsGetThisBread congratulations on your new job..all the best for the future :)
Don't binge drink daaru!!
Btw ShayariSimp is v happy today. Will tell an interesting incident post my last dancin session.Surat station के बाहर ठंडी bench थी, चाय गरम थी
बगल में एक ताऊ के हाथ में बीड़ी थी जो लगभग ख़तम थी
मैंने बस दो-चार चुस्कियाँ ली थी कि उतने में ताऊ ने दूसरी सुलगा ली थी
पहली को फ़ेंका ज़मीन पर और जूती से कुचल दिया
मुझे जाने क्यूँ तेरी याद आई, मैं उठा और चल दिया
Han Mai chal diya....aur gaya Gym. People idolise Kabir Singh but we don't. We Went to gym for a brief refreshment from our usual dancing sessions. I mean 30 mins of workout really boosts up our productivity right? With the mindset of doing cardio today I entered gym only to find out that the usual aunties were wearing Sarees today. Aunties were looking Apsaras in their Green Sarees. Well, Navratre has it's pros and cons and who would have thought, one of the blessing of navratre was Dancinmaster dancing with em Apsaras in the GYM. I Did do Cardio today just the different kind, wink wink.
One of the Apsara had cool tattoos, while the other had highlighted her hair. It was fun to ball dance with them and record our videos on their SNAPCHAT. They are very cool and happy and warm. So ya@Tata not calling them auntie helps (':
I did dance for 600 mins today (': still a lot to do and cover and learn. First half of the day was okaish cause :अक्सर, मरे हुए लोग बीच - बीच में जिंदा होने का नाटक करते रहते हैं!: gave me BT. But then, the day grew on me. Slowly and steadily I did dance for 600 mins which honestly seemed difficult today. Yahan ki mehfil helped boost my juices today, Ig im really a ShayariSimp.
Mai voh Payal Jise usne.....Pehna toh tha,
Fir Uttar kar kahan ki...aur Dikhao

Wow mujhe bhi garba karna hai!! Do you live in Gujarat?
Am confused whether to join gym or yoga classes or zumba where I used to go…….
gym will give me 6 pack abs which I really want….yoga a peaceful mind and body and people say a glowing skin….zumba is something I love the people there the vibe and free dance which takes me to a different world altogather. Wish I could join all 3
Guys wake me up if found sleeping....need to clock at least 9 hours from tomorrow
3 din aur kharab honge lekin maza aayegaEnjoyment is never a waste of time time.. Full enjoy kro.
To isi kadi me ek tuta phoota sher aez kia hai..
Aane wale palo me tum khul kr krna mauj..
Aane wale palo me tum khul kr krna mauj..
Kyunki bit jayenge ye sare lamhe aur jab tum akele baithoge kahi udas aur kabhi mayus..
To inhi palo ko yad krke muskuraoge har roj.
(Bro photo nahi, photu aur video jarur khinchna)
Photu is ❣️
bahut photu lenge.....bahut mauj karenge....shayad kuch logo se iske baad milna na ho....sab alag alag raaste
Starred your comment (sher) :)
It's been a year since my convocation happened & forget milna I have exchanged texts with only one person! Isiliye go live those moments & make sure you download Instagram for the day(I did, haha). Also, you might face some unwanted questions & I'm sure you know how to answer them.
Jao, khao-piyo khoob jiyo!
Haha, yes now mastered the skill to answer unwanted questions..and I thought the same of installing insta....you are my elder brother<3
Back on forum...@Lawstice reminded me today that forum exists, I was too much into my convocation, last week was just amazing, super amazing...met my buddies roamed around the beautiful campus all the time...laughed all aloud....unapologetically used all the vulgar slangs common in college, felt the peer pressure and relived all the moments in the city which I call home 2.0!
Back on studies will use YPT regularly now to track my progress and see if I am really studying or not....acha can we access YPT on laptop anyone?

Welcome bac my mann, today our room went from 204 to 304. Hope y'all did that durin convo aswell 💥💥🌃
Room?
At times I feel lonely in this UPSC journey. What a paradox when I was in college and surrounded by friends I wanted to be alone in the library in solitude. Now I feel lonely alone. Things change.
Talked to a senior yesterday who told me about many celebrated relationships that have now been dissolved. Most of the college relationships don't last long, Idk why it made me sad. Dude I dint have a breakup, why the fuck am (was) I sad :)
@sstarrr How was your mains? I remember after prelims you were concerned about CSAT and you qualified later
Feeling lonely.
Life updates?
Will give CAT today, padha toh kuch nahi hai.
Library is legit fun. Maybe that is why I'm not active here much.
Library mai we are thinking of making our own cult of shaved head scholars. Already 3 people are there, maybe I'll join them today after giving CAT xD
Took a break from gym and started volleyball, but maybe I'll start w gym again. Volleyball ki Apsara ain't giving me much bhav.
Umm,, aur kuch toh nhi. Padhai is ok, 7-8 hours avg. I'm not satisfied with it though. Plus prelims ka khauf 🤡
Ayeee One more thing ,,@mightyraju I'm in love with former CEC SY Qureshi's writing style. The tone he uses to criticize someone is both soft n sharp. Maybe I'll try to internalise it. Do you want context? His article about EC appointment.
Goodluck for CAT! Coming from someone who does a shaved head every year since UPSC prep started, I do suggest postponing your plan till February if you are in Delhi Winters.
@DancingMaster please do postpone shaving head, I did it in and later regretted of winters
ibteda-e-ishq hai rota hai kya
aage aage dekho hota hai kya
to all the first timers ;)
Aur sher sunao guys@Lawstice @mightyraju @DancingMaster @Morticia @sstarrr @Ghostwalker @D503 @TomiokaGiyu
Thank you for asking this. This has been a kaafi memorable year.
Phela prelims clear hua, I went on to write mains. The most amazing experience of my life and something I have been eagerly waiting since the last 4 years. I didn't clear, but having written mains the experience was great.
Personally this year has been amazing for me in the sense that I made some very good friends this year all thanks to forum. These are the friendships which will continue for life I believe.
Went to Delhi, the place I love the most, met my school friends and a veryy dear dear friend who I haven't met since 10 years.
I remember pichle saal this time only I was someone who was so hopeless, anxious and dealing with a lot of issues like loneliness, depressed about not clearing exam and what not, even though this year post mains I have been feeling all the same feelings but I feel I am in a better position in dealing with it. And to everyone who is reading this, trust me guys, if you are going through it, things will change for sure. You will do good.
Baaki I am just hoping next year isse bhi acha ho. Mains wains nikle, interview wagera de aur kya :p
And yeh tum logon ne puch puch ke kaise din ja raha, mera din acha kar dia. Thanks xD
P.S Arey sab batao, how was 2022 for you guys! Tag nhi ho pa rhe ho koi bhi as edit kr rhi, but everyone please share how has this year been for you all?
2022 was jeher year for me, I hope it was the toughest year of my life...can't tolerate anything worse than it. I stayed in the hospital for 15+ days which gave me a glimpse of hell. Life has pains and miseries! My love for being alive has increased a lot. You know everything is pointless without a healthy and painless body. Period. Family is the strongest institution that will support you no matter what, in every situation, in every crisis!
I spent my final semester of college in Delhi and lived in FOMO and even after 2 years of missing college I could not attend it finally (yeah my decision). ORN is hell lonely. Idk why but I found many people in Delhi to be emotionally bankrupt and selfish. People are even jealous of you especially if you have a good background and some even express it explicitly. Fuck them. Some are gems, though difficult to find and without them, I would have lost my sanity in ORN
I got to know about the harsh realities of life. Nothing lasts neither friendships nor relationships. Luckily I did not have any break-ups but seeing my closest of closest friends crying and depressed, makes me sad. My roomie's GF cheated on him, and a close friend's bf became toxic. Friends too drift away.
People will evaluate you on the basis of your annual CTC just like start-up valuation as if you are going to be sold to someone maybe on some matrimonial site someday
I was very afraid of flunking prelims, however, it turned out that failing was much easier than fearing to fail, I'll try to do this in this attempt.
After all this RR, I have learned a lot from 2022. Maybe this is what the world outside college looks like!
Now that fellas have started with sfg; this pic made me ask one quick question:
Mackerel sky is associated with which clouds?
P.S.: Someone from here said that this is a "cloud flex". Is it? 😂

@Neyawn you often go underground from here ;p
I too haven't studied ;p@spade
Hello everyone! I'm in a mental dilemma.PLEASE HELP!Background -I am studying ba political science hons from a reputed college of Delhi University. This is my final semester and I'm preparing for upsc alongside. I only started my preparation last October and have completed only polity, economy, geography and little bit of PSIR ( had college exams in December and again will have college exams in May). I wanted to give 2023 attempt just to push myself and check my capabilities otherwise i feared I'll be a bit relaxed if i aimed for 2024. I don't have any other backup option than studying masters in public policy and pursuing that career if i don't clear in 1-2 years.If anyone has the same graduation degree as me or on the basis of your experience, please suggest some course of path. Whether I should give attempt next year, first pursue my master's or continue preparing as I am.I don't have any mentor so I'd be very grateful if you all can genuinely give your suggestions!! Will be highly obliged.Ig you posted this earlier as well?
Umm,, I graduated from a decent engineering college in '22. Gave that year's pre and learnt numerous things. I'm privileged enough to risk few years of my life. Take your shots accordingly.
Bhai, I also graduated from a decent engineering college in '22. Gave that year's pre and learnt numerous things. :D

Can someone share that PDF which UPSC mailed last year which had common mistakes in filling OMR and attendance sheet
Found it, have a look, someone on forum recommended to fill 3-4 times the roll number on OMR sheet for practice, I found this to be very helpful :)

I wanted to rant a lot about this exam a month ago, even wrote that I will rant after prelims. After writing pre there is nothing much to rant. And I am obvious now that I will not continue being in this chakravyuh. Graduated in 2022, on papers it is just a year that I prepared for upsc though I am actually preparing for the last 3.5 years. Reading the same bullshit every year.
Staying in Delhi seeing hardworking seniors some approaching their 30s, clueless about the career and future, with risk appetite getting low, good opportunities sacrifised, this exam makes the lives of most people miserable.Personally I might have cried hundred nights being here preparing for this goddamn exam.
An influencer teacher once in a show said "kuch na hoga to tajurba hoga", like dude come on there are hell lot of things to lose. Your batchmates may be drinking coffee in Paris lunch in Berlin, holidaying in Switzerland and we are stuck in a cubicle preparing and youtubers minting money showing entry videos and what not. Even famous ias puts 'chapa maara' videos on yt.
People may have vested interests promoting us to sacrifice our 20s for this. It might sound angoor khatte hai, it may be somewhat true but ive lost interest both in the journey as well as the destination.
I wonder whats after cracking the exam, reaching the point which ive been dreaming for the last 4 years. Even met some aspirants in Delhi who wamt dowry after becoming ias and take upar ka paisa. I had a very noble cause of becoming a bureaucrat like being satisfied helping others, making schools doing reforms and what not. But no more not because of the exam which I am unable to qualify (showing my incapacity) but also because im no more motivated to do so. GenZ is honest efficient and delivers whats required, fhis is hoax.
2-3 years down the line I might consider working in corporate. If in late 20s after a global exposure changes my perspective of looking at things I might appear for this one last time amd its chances are bleak. I love this community and will remain active here. Love you all and best wishes for everything and to everyone :)
To all those who have given the exam yesterday, whatever you’re feeling right now is THE REALITY OF THIS EXAM. In a few days, people will make you feel that the exam was doable. They’ll make you feel that cutoff will also decline na, so why worry. You had to do only 40 right. But you know how flawed that argument is as you’ve experienced how all this actualises in the real world D Day environment.
Trust me a lot of commercial interests will make you forget this feeling that you must be having right now. Make sure you capture how you’re feeling right now and know that you might feel exactly same way the next year. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE AT ALL
UPSC prelims 2023 was extremely ARBITRARY, RANDOM and no need to even feel sad about this.
Be very very proud of your efforts, result is only an external validation that we seek from outside world and anything external won’t make you happy. Just try and stay true to yourself. If you did, Amazing because that’s all that counts.P.S : I am not trying to demotivate anyone who wishes to give another attempt. All I am trying to tell you is PLEASE MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE. Don’t think this won’t happen to you or this won’t happen again :(. All I am asking you to do is HAVE A PLAN for such an event.
GG supremacy. Love your truth 💣
@Tata saar please don't take haste decisions. In either case, you have fellow comrade's Goodwill & support. Stay connected in either case.
Thanks a lot@ryzenauster <3
Does anyone have a definitive idea about using whitener on the OMR? I have used it as the ink has smudged on my sheet and against one incorrectly marked answer. Will that answer be counted? Does Machine read whitened bubble as filled or does it ignore it??
Ive not personally used but someone said that it works, not sure though
I've seen only 5 answer keys yet (Forum, Insights, Vajiram, Shankar and Vision (just now) ), and I found Forum's and Vision's answer key the best. Anyone's opinion ?
I used next forum and vajiram
Though difference of marks is not too high but the pattern is like this
Q1 correct by N incorrect by V
Q2 incorrect by N correct by V
Q3 correct by N incorrect by V
Kuch bhi ho skta hai idhar ;p
