Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@JharsugudaYes@John_Titor,@hirockyrocks7101 ,@pysh12950 are the real patriots.
Mujhe to apni credibility saabit karni pad rahihai.Sothe game is opposite.You predicted it right..

@hirockyrocks7101Ab kya karen.Aane wale samay ke liye padhna zyada zaroori hai.Purani baatein yaad karke kya hi milega.
Isliye 7 baar socio revise karna is more impt. than remembering past marks..

@bevancomit's only the marks obtained in the past that will act as a benchmark for us to identify the weak areas and improve them accordingly.

@hirockyrocks7101On a serious note yeh to sahi bole.

@John_Titor,@pysh12950 kahan gaye bhailog?Aur konsi marksheet chahiye?Birth certificate?

Someone mentioned that he got 250 something by leaving worth 60 marks and writing average content on other questions...this my first attempt so i don't know but wanted to ask ki optional ki checking itni liberal hoti h kya??

@atuljiNaah I got 250 worth leaving 120 marks in optional.
Left close to 70 marks in gs-1,70 in gs-2 and 80 in gs-3.
Leave ka matlab pura blank tha answer.Wrote nothing in those answers..

@atuljibhai forum pe gyaan Mat lo...dikkat ho jayegi

@pysh12950Abhi shayad iift ki marksheet nahi daali hai.Kaho to woh bhi daal den..

@bevancomI never asked or cared about your marksheet personally but why were you so boastful in first place? That I am from IIM, IIT etc., I've done these many pages and chapters etc. One of the reasons people have probably been a little rude to you is because of that attitude of yours. Absolutely no one likes that and I would also strongly advise you that being humble always helps in life. Also, UPSC is a great leveller and it's better not to have such high expectations. I don't know why exactly you want to impress anonymous people on forum.

Meanwhile@bevancommust be feeling like dasrath manjhi,
"Ham tose itna sach kah rahe hai, itna sach kah rahe hai, itna sach kah rahe hai ki ka bataye kitna sach kah rahe hai.. Seena chir ke dikha de bajrang bali ki tarah.."

@pysh12950Sahi bole what worked for me may not work for him and worked for him may not work for me.Its important to chart out ur own path..

Brodas, can someone please check my vision answer copy and see if my handwriting is legible and whether I have any chance ? In the real exam, my writing was just slightly better.

@pysh12950Ni in general i heard optional ki checking thoda liberal hoti h isliye poocha..ye wala bhot liberal laga qki

@kochikaameIt was never about impressinganyone.Itwas only a response to those people who claim they wrote great answers once the exam is over and demotivate others.
Yes upsc is a great leveler.I know people from iit bombay and mit passouts coming back to india not even clearing pre.
So nobody knows what will work

bhailog mere chances ke baare me bata sakte ho kya?

gs: 90*4
essay: 140-150
optional~ 280

@MalcolmI dunno how to upload my copy. It's my first mains so wanted some opinions. Waise bhi aur karne ka kuchh hain bhi nahin, isiliye..

@bevancom
Bhai tum jitna bhi evidence doge utna hi doubt badhega narrow minded trollers ko
So ignore them
Let's have a constructive discussion on mains Sociology questions from paper 1( if u want we can discuss from question 1 )
What u wrote in fetishism of commodities ?

It was given in ignou and Ritzer

I had written that due to capitalist based mode of production, in assembly line only part of work is done by a workers thus when he saw a finished product he believes that this product is made by supernatural entity.
I also wrote that it is form of alienation ( made a vicious cycle of alienation and fetishism )
Followed IBC , filled both the pages.

Plz tell ur answers

@JharsugudaAur kitna hi sach bolen.Sach mein ab to seena chir ki dekhana padega bajranj bali ji ko.Shayad mil bhi yayen as I worship bajrang bali everyday..

@kochikaameWhy would I like to impress anyone.I have'nt even tried to impress a girl in my life.Why would I impress random boys here..Haha
