CSE 2021: Plan / Strategy / Daily Routine

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.

Also, take a look at Slender Loris.

They always look like they’ve been caught sneaking food out of the fridge in the middle of the night.

Thank you everyone for your wishes. (I have read them before I went)

I am giving AFCAT (Airforce Common Admission test). It was good and in the exam I did not feel thatmujhe kuch nahin aata aur mei duniya mei kya hi kar rhi hun. 

Exams are so tiring, for a 2 hour exam I have to reach 3 hours before for mandatory frisking and they didn't provide us even chairs to sit ( I know too much to expect). I was so tired that while back home, I got some green chilli paneer(guys not chinese, its indian dish, WHYYY?). I ate and then I slept. Woke up now. I hope my body helps me. 

P.S : I made some good friends at the exam centre. Govt job aspirants group XD

Like geopolitically things are not good similarly, 'griha- politically' things are not good here as well. And things getting worse is inevitable. All this is taking a toll on my mental health. Last week after one such episode of this 'griha-political' series, I decided not to give this year's attempt. I took a break from studies and thought I am preparing for a thing for such a long time how can I just take my steps back just because some else is dragging barricades in my way. I know things would get worse and ground could get converted into warzone just before the D-day but I gotta fight!! Therefore writing it here as a reminder to myself!

PS : warzone vala remark is a little exaggeration but I like to be little poetic :)

Starting a little late today-

Good morning guys. Late start to the morning.. Not waking up early is so satisfying in it own way. I wish one day I can wake up late without feeling guilty. 


Targets for 29/8/21

  • Environment PYQs analysis
  • Environment Current affairs  October-February
  • Mock Test

On a side note. This is the first time that I will be picking Environment subject during preparation. It can be a gamble that can completely backfire.. Dedicating this entire week to environment and nothing else. Hope I succeed.

Hey I don't know what yourgriha-politicsis but  I was in the same situation like your's a month back. I was in a bad mental state where I had no energy to continue my studies or do anything. I was frustrated, sad and cursing the politicians engaged ingriha-politics.

But having been there in the same place, I would suggest never let others hamper your studies or even this attempt. To be brutally honest I would suggest, ignore those who are impacting your mental health and don't even care to speak to them. When you don't engage you will find them shutting up and maybe it would give you some mental peace.

Never sacrifice your attempt for someone who don't care about your exam and can't keep the politics away during these times. I did this. I don't know what your situation is and how your family is, but if you want to do this then do it. Nothing I think is more important than your attempt now.

I hope you find peace and succeed!

Take care.

@Infinitybeyondinfinity Hey, we may not have common problem here but, I feel I am facing something related i.e. PG Politics in my PG. There is a hard core BJP supporter and he just takes every thing in the 'Hindu Khatre me hai' direction. You sit with him to eat food in mess, he talks about politics and how everything is here to malign BJP and prefere congress. I feel he cant have normal talks about preparation and all. But you have written well that no one in this world should influence you and we must focus on our doings only. Dhanyawas
