Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread
Now that 1 week is over, it is time to shift focus to Mains. With barely 103 days left there is no time to waste.
@SelinaKylesaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:
@missionmangalAt no point, I said "those who are sure of getting through". But my only intention is to hear honest opinions of one's preparation and efforts. Post result, asking someone's "strategy" and "how he did it" is trash, its the thoughts of this time that are most valuable.
All I am asking people is to reflect now on how was your prep and exam.. and those who'll say they nailed it and get selected will have credibility, even those who won't..... but those must not be trusted who'll now say their exam went bad but get selected, because they have no idea. And they will in their toppers talk say, "If I can do it, so can you. I did nothing, but solved test series of 2-3 coaching and got through."
bhai jab exam diya tha tb toh lag rha tha k iss baar ho jayega. ek mahine tak ye feeling rhi. bt ab khud par bharosa nhi h. ab nhi keh sakta k oss baar ho hi jayega
@zombielandnice opinion my friend. Don't worry about the result, you have don what you could have, leave out all the rest.
Elaborate on how you feel was your paper, optional.
Any "resource or document" that you found of tremendous value.

@MadamSir aspirants can find meaning in anything. in prelims exam they will put emphasis on smart study. read selectively. if questions come from these materials, then it is called by them as "smart study". if questions r out of these selective materials then "U" in UPSC is called unpredictability.
People can find meaning in all the questions. just read comment section below questions papers at insight. they will give links of some newspaper to show how these questions were in news. newspaper ranges from hindu to express to down2earth to al-zajeera.
if upsc is delaying result then they r checking patience of candidate. in service such qualities r needed.
mtlb upsc kuch bhi kare uska bohot deep meanong log nikal lenge. Pre ka paper random bna denge toh woh isliye krte h kyuki service m randomness se deal krna hota h. mtlb kuch bhi...
bhai woh log sarkari karmchari hain. cse jaise 20 aur exam conduct krna hota h. hmare liye result day special hoga. unke loye normal day h. isliye stop making meaning out of their each action.
yes, have seen insights' comments section below mains question papers. they seem to say as if the questions were all very obvious. quoting hot topics and producing a relation between that topic and some question. for every hot topic they have quoted, 10 more hot topics may be quoted from which question didn't come.
but in hindsight, everything seems obvious. in hindsight we bash nehru for this or that mistake which seems obvious to our current pm. but things must not have been that obvious at that time.
@Reality-transurferthank you so much ,may God bless you!
@mishra7597shivani373all pleasure is mine. Wishes for you.

what you all are doing for interview preparation in case you make it to the personality test ??
reading books, as a hobby. read something funny today:
"We are forever moaning about corruption in our country—we are amongst the ten most corrupt nations of the world. Corruption is all-pervasive; there are no miracle cures for a disease which has afflicted our society for ages. But we can find solace in the fact that things are much worse in Pakistan, our closest neighbour and chief rival. There also seems to be a significant difference between the patterns of corruption in the two countries. In India, the creamy layer of the government, the judiciary and civil service, is comparatively clean. It becomes murky in the middle, and it is in the lower ranks that corruption becomes rampant … In Pakistan, it is the other way round. The top layer is massively corrupt; the middle and lower layers are less corrupt. Also, they have more corruption-related violence than we have. We indulge in character assassination; they dispense with niceties like characters and just get down to assassination."

@AllMightwho asked you? Stop your faecal posts right away. Not needed. The result shall come when it shall come. No one can do a thing about it. Focus on things that are of value.
