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.

@Freakhoto God approved, AICTE aur UGC kya cheej h :|
I am pretty much exhausted. I put all that I had today. Around 9 good hours after cutting out those 6 hours of college leaves almost nothing for recreation. Yet I couldn't achieve all the targets. But then I believe this is my general tendency. If I am given an option to climb either of the two peaks, I will choose to climb 70-80% of the steeper peak than to climb a less steeper peak. Haha!
I did this today-
Targets for tomorrow-
Day 21 (19th August)-
A funny thing that is happening with me these days- Whenever I feel drowsy during the day, I try to manipulate my mind by reminding it that SLEEP IS A MERE STATE OF MIND and tbh it works.
Chalo Shubh Ratri doston!
Kal I didn't study anything(quite literally). Aaj bhi only Marx wala part. Pretty bad but koi nahi I will step up.
Will update in the night.
So, I am little scared of Ancient History, esp after my consistent poor performance in tests. 2020 UPSC qns aren't proving any helpful in getting my confidence up... Those who attempted the paper last year, how did u answer questions on (almost the entire history section)
kulyavapa and dronavapa
Parivrajaka, Shramana, Upasaka
vital vidhwanshak journal
Deser katha
Paramitas
Bhilsa, Dwarasamudra, Girinagar, Sthanesvara map based qn
Ghantasala, kadura and Chaul
Aurang ,Banian, Mirasidar
Even if you guessed, please share how?
