han sahi bat h
Bhai wo main agency / coaching ke poll ki baat kr ra tha , survey type. Jaise elections m hota h. 😂
I have interacted with around 20 mains candidates.. including few on this forum through chat..
Around 80% of them said that they have performed well and are expecting around 270+ in optional and 130+ in essay..
In GS .. Expectation of around 400 is common among candidates this year..
So point I m making is..
Many are expecting 800+ this year.. whether they get or not is altogether a different story..
Expectations are higher this year than previous.. this shows paper was easier this year atleast as per the perception of the candidates..
PS.. I m not exaggerating.. stated what I have observed..
On a lighter note-
There is a saying in law - " A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client"
It may be modified to - " A man who is his own paper checker has a fool for an aspirant "
@D503 People are supporting Putin because they say that simce west invaded Iraq, Afgh,Syria,Libya so why cannot the SIGMA MALE PUTIN (YouTube shorts plays) do it. Both, US and Russia have their hands red with blood. But..and a very big but is that USA is a democracy where the rulers have to face people and the polls and give answers for their actions, ..but what Putin is doing is with complete Impunity with no opposition. Economic sanctions will hit hard the average Russian man. Also Putin and his cronies can totally wash hands away with. The mighty USSR once competed with Reagan's star wars programme came to a near collapse. Their army is still a and weak super-army due to economic constraints.Russia shall remember that it lacks the cultural and soft-power hegemony that the west has. Just making RT documentaries of Zircon missile won't help because the average soldier of Kyiv has resisted it since the past 17 days.But the desi rurban guy watching YouTube will definitely think that 'Putin hai Mahapurush'. Help him.
With no intention to add weight on Putin's side, democracy hasn't really made Presidents accountable in USA. George W Bush's Iraq War saw Uranium laced bullets being used in Iraq which causes birth deformities to this day. And yet Bush became a president again. Abu Ghraib was the center of one of the world's worst human rights violations and yet Bush became president again. Obama and Hilary Clinton started a NATO operation that would depose Gaddafi and leave it in a state worse than it ever was. And yet Obama was re elected to office. Were any of them held accountable for their actions? Not really.
Americans have used, abused and thrown the word democracy in such a way that the respect democracy commanded once is now almost gone and we are seeing the rise of authoritarian governments like China which are becoming more attractive.

One who cannot estimate his/her performance is not an expert either.. it is not wrong to be able to make a rational analysis of performance..
Some people are trying to project as if those guessing their marks are fools and only they are smart.. but actually it's other way around...
@Akkku Dont worry bhai.Either we will succeed or learn.Dono me benefit hai.Lets hope for the best.Btw 2020 me 8 log ka 850+ aaya tha
2 to abhi mil gaye
Kuch der me all 8 mil jaayenge 😂😂
