Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.
This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021.
No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.

Most of the bread was got for the day. I still have some note making left for PSIR, but I’m so saturated that I feel like a sponge who lived in a pineapple under the sea. Off to bed folks. Happy studying y’all.

@DeekshitaP be like sponge................................bob
Could only finish Newspaper and two CA classes would try cover other things tomorrow
Sharing with you all is this beautiful poem written by my friend who failed thrice in mains but never gave up-
Gira Hoon Main pr Mara Nahin
टूट गया जो पल मेरा था
आज नहीं जो कल तेरा था.
दर्द नही जो जोश थमा दे
चीख नहीं जो शोर भुला दे.
गिर गिर के सीखा ह मैंने
गिरा हूँ मैं पर मरा नहीं.
घबराया हूँ थराया हूँ
पर उड़ने से डरा नहीं.
पंख लगा दे हवा दिखा दे
कोशिश करके उड़ जाऊँगा
सपने आधे आधे करके
देख देख के बढ़ जाऊँगा
थक गया तो शुरू करूँगा
झूठा वादा खुद से करा नहीं
लड़ा था मैं लड़ा हूँ मैं
गिरा हूँ मैं पर मरा नहीं
Not quite the ideal day, but as long as I keep moving ahead it will eventually get better! Skipped a study session and that led to no progress on society VAM today.
Things done:
- Modern Algebra PYQs finished (Yay!)
- Newspaper
Targets:
- Cover up all loose ends on the Modern Algebra chapter to finish it off
- Revise Real Analysis
- Society VAM - First Reading (100 Pages)
- Newspaper
Here's another tidbit from something I wrote a while back. Think this might help few people, we've all been there!
"Uncertainty in life is nothing nice
But to be a star you’ve got to leave the vice
To turn dreams into reality comes at a price
Fighting day & night is the only way to escape the dice "
WTC finals made me pretend to study for hours with Hotstar on, but the producticy was low. Too bad we lost, but good that it is over. Now back to the subjects!
Things done:
- Modern Algebra - done & dusted!
- Society VAM - 75 pages
- Newspaper
Targets:
- Revise Real Analysis theory
- Finish Society VAM - First Reading (A man can hope :P)
- Newspaper
All the best with your targets, good people of Forum :)
Had a bad day today. Did a few things here and there but couldn't focus. Then I just shifted focus to binging on Netflix.
Same targets for tomorrow!
Was able to progress further ahead but couldn't finish them off.
Targets:
- Finish Real Analysis Theory Revision
- Start Real Analysis PYQs (1/4)
- Finish Society VAM First Read
- Newspaper

True. I was yellow, and square and porous by last night. Also the closest thing to Garry is a chipkali who is a permanent resident of my room

I don't know if it's too early or too silly to ask this, but how are you guys planning to revise the whole of Laxmikanth just before prelims?
Depends on which cycle of revision you are. PYQs+ self-made ANKI cards works for me. Someone here on forum shared this wonderful list of questions from laxmikant last year. attaching it here. Polity-Revision1051600018789.docx
Can also head to ANKI thread to find some more resources, but be careful about the resource overkill. Good day.
