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.

Anyone else feel excited but nervous, like their insides are on fire??I overslept way too much today..
I'm feeling like almost out of the race now..
Definitely no fire here... I've gotten way too chill... 😭😭
One day does not make or break your performance, I think this exam constantly reminds us about that.
@a11prashantp340 i have already mailed. Am a little surprised how little everyone is concerned about this one aspect. I have had Covid and have seen people die of it...
Thank God you have recovered. I am waiting for my RTPCR and Praying to God that it comes negative.

Just flew in to a new city for my exam. It is already witnessing good Covid numbers including omicron. God knows what will happen over the next 2 weeks. May wahe guru keep us all safe
@sjerngal That's what happening to me since last one week. Seven days spent sleeping with sporadic padhai. Infact I am finding so much sukoon these days in searching the best material for each GS which I will prepare in my next attempt 😀 Friends suggest "stop doing it, just focus and work hard" I don't think it's that simple. And yes, whining come out automatically after reading such resonating posts.😀I am nto my fourth attempt, haven't finished the mains syllabus even once, negligible answer writing practice and doing a very basic mistake of just not preparing. I am standing at a single place since last four years and wishfully expecting to reach the destination!!! I know it's not gonna happen but putting even average effort has just not happened yet! Bacha le re Deva!
Roughly same feeling.. this is my third attempt and second mains.. Joined a job this year.. met new people.. felt alive again.. cleared pre by basic revision of older notes.. and Almighty's blessings.. But I feel have not improved much.. Couldnt get myself to give my full energy.. And at he end it feels like.. everything is in vain.. no hope of clearing.. bt still trying to revise.. trying whatever I can.. and will suggest u as well.. do whatever you can.. It feels difficult staying sane in this pressure.. Feels like running away from all this.. Bt still going.. gathering myself and trying.. And you should too!!
