Came back from 10 day vipassana.

Mains was horrible.zero chances.

Planning to do mains till feb and start pre from march 1(forum simulator).

Oct-GS 2

Nov-Gs 3

Dec to Feb-Psir 2

This is new thing to be read.Half day will be for revision and answer writing of old.

Planning to write 100 tests(including part😅)

Mgp 2025 and Mgp 2024 tests after pre and shubhra ma'am 25 tests--this itself is daily answer so avg around 6-7 answers daily(very ambitious lol).

Focus on content and structure till feb and speed after mains.

My share of hardwork is due for me.i feel i never really worked and need to do it once in my life.

[Continuing]

Was avging around 6 hours a month before pre.Post pre 3 months avg would be around 4 hours🥲.

"Never pretend to understand the complexities of indian elections"

Best quote.Again read haryana wrong after lok sabha😅.Good result in jnk,stable govt what bjp was trying was dangerous.Maharastra is wide open.interesting year ahead with US and bihar elections.

Below is tests planning to write.will keep updating once a week.

Agaya rajdhani chodke mai. Recovered my health and my peace. By far the shittiest exp I have of Delhi till now. During my past two visits I was unknown to the world of live-ins and backchodis that's present in the Upsc circle. This time I tried to broaden up my horizon and lol its an endless shithole. I have no issues w live-ins or any other mastis. It was  the pollution, shitty weather and mental trauma for me. Wanna highlight the mental trauma xD.   Was about to engage in SFG on field  competition, but lol my health. Anyways, First 15 days agg lag dia mene, so the month was not wasted. Sarojini and my Winter aesthetics were fun. Was legit looking like A OG only.  Meet with RashmiRathi was amazinggg! Learnt a lot bhai! Also w another SFG/ Pre god Choragangakinarewala xD hopefully he will make it in the list this year. Bhai '22 ETHICS course se bohot log hojaenge select and I kid you not, 3 sal panicle  @Neyawn would claim this while giving lectures. Good Stuff only. I Believe in him. 


Forum has lately started to give reddit like vibes (negative), which I guess will not happen this year.  I guess it depends on our PERSPECTIVE aswell, toh I'll say forum is the bessttt only. 

Bas abhi SFG pelna hai,  70 ke niche girna NAHi hai. abh uske liye jo karna hai voh karunga. (lol the aim should be not to fall below 80, but Thike) 
I'll focus on Mains, till feb end. Ethics, Optional and Hindi. Ethics/ Hindi Jan mai khatam karunga, achese. Optional PYQs exam in Feb.

There's a known past crush in SFG list who's scoring consistently in the 70+ range, they are from a sister institution and are a year younger. Would really wanna steamroll them( halaki they dont know my identity,which is completely fine) - ek thodasa semi-broken heart motivation bhi chaiye, its not that serious though. So load nahi. Would manifest both in academy xD and as good friends only ^_^.

Rahi baat about my perspective on this exam, Dude I trust the exam and its process in and out. Trust and false  positive bias towards  the exam rakhna hi hai, no matter the anomalies that occur every year. I have seen known average people with no connections get in year after year, and I trust them and the process. No matter baki log kya bole, I have my own experience and my own faith and support of the average people who still continue to guide me (: Also I see positivity and good vibes when I look at the exam from a positive perspective. The very nature of exam changes when I start believing in the process. Rahi baat back up ki ya kuch aur dont worry, I'll figure out a way. Don't really wanna think about that this year. Will give CGL tier 2 though, Hua toh Hua nahi Hua toh nahi Hua. Not really preparing for it.  Baki ka batadunga badme. 

TLDR : 
1. SFG 70 ke niche girna nahi. 
2. Hindi n Ethics, Essay(23) in Jan.
3. Optional Pyqs and mgp remaining in Feb.

By the end of Feb when I look back, AUkat se esa lagega ki itni padhai kabhi zindagi mai kari nahi. 

So true of reddit..how can people spread so much negativity..questioning everything..anonymity of social media bring out worst in people.Left reddit.

Many flaws in exam but i never doubt the fairness.Random yes.

My plan is to finish mains till mid march are start prelims post that.i think 60 days is enough for 3 revision and thats what i need.started way too early last year.

Back here after long time.Final reading for prelims from today.Couldn't do 3 iterations,hoping 2 slow one would suffice.

Need to push in these four months(10 hours atleast).Have seen friends do very well in mains at same prep level at prelims.I think the exam rewards very high for hardwork just before exam.Will go to delhi post prelims.

More on mains later.Give everything for pre in next 24 days.Will try to post regular from now on.
