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.

@sjerngal Toppers notes + CA + NCERT society for topics like urbanisation and you will find good case studies@LetsGetThisBread How is migraine now? You faced it a lot during the prelims days also.
Ok only thanks for asking. I really don’t know why it flares up randomly for no good reason, other than to waste my time.
Hi fellow migraine victim here. I am sure you must have prescription for your symptoms but I recently got a medicine from my doctor called Naxdom which you are supposed to take as soon as the migraine strikes, during the blurred vision phase. It really helps me reduce my symptoms. The pain level reduces and i get relief within 1 or 2 hours. Do discuss about this with your doctor if he hasn't prescribed this already. Hope you get well soon enough.

Mine doesn’t get that bad usually. Lasts 2-3 days and manageable with OTC pain medication. Fingers crossed it stays that way only and doesn’t decide to get worse
नींद आए तो इस हाल में सोना ही बहुत है
इतनी भी फ़राग़त है यहाँ किस को मयस्सर
ये एक तरफ़ बैठ के रोना ही बहुत है
Worst day after prelims.
I am already calling it a day.. I just hope I sleep early so that I can wake up early tomorrow morning and make up for this extremely sh***y day..Disappointed with myself, more than the amount that I was disappointed post yesterday's cricket match.. ......
:\
Umm.. have seen some of your comments, please don't be so hard on yourself. You might be ambitious and this maybe the reason for the fiery style (this helps me too) but i keep it for initial motivation. Take care. Apologies for the unsolicited advice.

Didn’t get much done as again the headache saga continues. Studied for 3ish hours when I was a little ok and a managed to get the current affairs backlogs done mostly. Just have 3 more days worth of work left for it. Hopefully tomorrow I should be fine.
@Rashmirathi thanks for the advice buddy. If I’m not ok tomorrow will definitely go to the doctor. Though these seasonal migraines are very common for me. Cold (it’s already cold in Delhi by my standards) tends to make them more frequent.

Hey do these migraine pre-date UPSC life for you?
Also, sorry if this is weird of me to ask. I guess I’m just trying to establish if there’s a correlation b/w humare ‘dimag ka dahi hona’ due to this prep phase and migraines in general LOL. :P

I'll second this. I'm using the exact same med for about 4 years now (same ingredients - Naproxen and Domperidone. But different brand name - Napra). Migraine became almost a non issue with this.
But I made a mistake. I started popping this pill every time I had a headache. Even when I could have borne the pain instead. Now I've reached a point where the pills don't work anymore. I'll either have to increase the dosage or get some other medication.
I guess the lesson is to try to not over - rely on the medication. Too much of a good thing wagera wagera.

Can't say for sure but migraine usually doesn't present itself like that. Its usually very intense with blurry vision but doesn't last more than 4 or 5 hours normally. And since you mentioned cold intensifies your problem it seems more likely a sinus issue. Do consult a specialist if you can. Whatever I am saying is just based on personal experience and my google research trying to self diagnose myself back in the day so I might be totally wrong. Consulting a specialist made my life so much better.

That's so true. When I first tried that medicine it was magic, but over time the effect has reduced a little. I will also try to endure the pain if it's not an emergency. Getting migraine on exam day or during exam is my worst nightmare should have something magical for such situation.
Hi beautiful people! How are you all? I have been away from here for some time. Back with some renewed energy and some self confidence kihumse bhi ho hi paegaand a good UPPCS prelims. It really went good, I had not anticipated it and with a crushed self confidence that I gave this exam with, this was such a confidence booster for me. One thing that shocked me was Hindi grammer and hindi question in CSAT. 23 such questions, I was dumbfounded. However tried some, I really hope CSAT doesn't crush me this time. But I am very happy with this exam, found my lost hopes and confidence.
Having told you about exam updates, a thank you for all of you who asked and wished me for the exam. It means a lot.
Life update :
Right now I am in my village, 2 days are my off days, for some meetings with my village people, whom I really love and adore, cooking some stuff and planning.
Tabtak, treating you people with see some pictures from my very own fields, rice crop ready to be harvested and fruit garden! What a place this is. I hope you love it.

I haven't seen! But as my dada ji likes Moringa ki sabzi ( tomato curry, I don't remember the name exactly) , we have brought some plants this time for him to grow.
@sstarrr it’s great to see you back ,enjoy the break and fresh air and village food ( it’s worth the wait)
Arey! Village food ki baat na kare :) I have been back here after one year, jahan jahan I go people cook food for me, as I am their Gaon ki ladki, so lovely people.
I am having days where I am eating Rabri, makhan, Pakori's, Kachori's and what not! Wait for some more photos. Will introduce you all to two lovely creatures, who hate me :(
