Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@Aequitassaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

India wins toss and chose to bowl.

Since everyone is discussing politics and I don't want to, anyone planning to mention watching cricket or football as a hobby?

@kochikaameI could mention watching cricket as hobby, I like watching test matches.

@AequitasIssues/questions that can be asked regarding it-
Pink Ball
4 day test match.
how to make test interesting for audience.
can add further.

@kochikaamewant to mention football but I follow premier league and literally haven’t watched a single Indian team play!
So bit apprehensive!

@ManchesterUnitedtotally legit, questions could be asked regarding whys and hows of improving football in India.

@Aequitasi suggest u to be more and more specific in mentioning your hobbies...if u like watching test matches don’t write watching cricket ..write watching test matches ..it gives interviewer a chance to frame questions around that specific interesting hobby...like why test cricket? and get the conversation going
U can also easily prepare answers to them

#unsolicited_gyan

Any Idea how does Interview Date gets allowed??

@pysh12950Specificity is the soul of credibility.

@AequitasBahut sahi ..bc

@Aequitassame. Test happens to be my favourite format as well. I am following the England Vs South Africa game more closely than the India Lanka T20

@ManchesterUnitedpretty much same here. I follow Premier League as well as La Liga but have little information about Indian Football. I tried following it for a while but couldn't sustain my interest there.

@pysh12950plus writing - watching international cricket, otherwise they can ask about big bash league, why they dont have Indian players in the squad but IPL is full of foreign players

@AequitasSame problem with movies!
I am huge movie buff and total number of movies I watches in theatres last year is upwards of 50!
All of them are normal commercial movies of English,Kannada,Hindi!
But,I haven’t watched these classic movies which upsc’s old guns might like!

Also, many of us could have done some activities in remote past like hiking, mountaineering, swimming etc. but are unable to follow them as hobbies for the past few years, can those be written in daf?

@Aequitassome other questions could be about ethics in the sport particularly with respect to fixing and ball tampering incidents. Other that, I saw in an interview transcript a question about cricket stopping growth of other sports.

@ManchesterUnitednot a big deal, can watch classics too, 1 movie per day.

Abhi soch lete h hobbies vobbies...Pata Chala kal DAF-2 bharne ko na mile

Haha. I watch sports because I love it. Not because of patriotic reasons.
