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.

Hello friends I write this with as much frustration as you can imagine a bread to have (hoti h). For the past 2 days I have relatives over/ some or the other bum-job errand to run and today seems to be no different as already I’ve been told that I have more relatives coming over. Mere studies ki band baj rahi h iss chakkar m. On top of that setting targets and not being able to meet them is leading to more anxiety, so no targets for today, will update aaj raat ko how much I got done. Also in other news, I really want to eat chole- bhature, but this clean eating nonsense thing I’m trying out is getting in the way.

More pav-er to you folks! (if you thought days of bread jokes were over, think again…)

Morning me chole bhature yaad dilaana zaruri hai? Ab jugaad karna padega :P Btw you can also try Shaahi tukda made out of your bread. Good day.

I must tell you, Chhole Bhature are such a godsend. On 11th, I went and had them. Trust me, I could feel all the pain and stress of the exam vanishing with each bite. Please have them! :D

And don't order no, go out and eat!

Think food is one of the few things where addiction is harmless and is a huge stress reliever in this exam context. Doesnt take up much time too :) 
Agree with you that food thread is much needed here and sad to see no mindless debate on best biryani. (I am from HYD, so I am game :P)

Jokes apart, so fortunate to see huge food diversity in India. None can really beat India on this :)

Man how do you do clean eating?! It’s so hard. All the pav-er to you. (Or not) :P

I’m trying this thing called body recomposition, so I eat lots of protein, and moderate fats and carbs. I’ve been dreaming about chole bhature for so long, you have no idea. If I got a mark for mains every time I thought about chole bhature, y’all don’t stand a chance of catching me :P
