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.

@slightedge109 https://www.upsc.gov.in/sites/default/files/UPSC_Press%20Release_05012022.pdfYou can still download it from hereThey took down it from what is newIt is just not visible thereThese are times of deceit :P
Ah deceit.. my old friend in answer writing.
My call recording with UPSC
Those guys at the desk are always high on Malana ka maal.
Unke reply ajeeb hote hai, kubh bhi bolte
Yaar this breaks the spirit ..
What's wrong with upsc, take a position and defend it and let court decide tomorrow..
Btw if they have any question on empathy compassion don't forget this incident esp for those who travel from the interiors, remember Maharashtra and up being such a large state they have jus one centre in capital, Tamil Nadu has curfew in place on weekends, Karnataka same, 150 odd public transport BEST drivers and conductors tested positive in Mumbai..yahi news dekh raha hu pichle 30 min se, i maybe fortunate to live in a capital city and raring to give the exam but what about the others from interiors? And what if infection spread hoke centre only becomes a hotspot?
Brain me sare points collect hoke mains answer writing ho gayi hai...
Hope this drama ends soon with some clarification...above all in a funny way no insiders either this time.
Notice is fake... Verified with UPSC itselfPlausible deniability is what they are doing now. Same thing will happen tomorrow also in court.
It's their word against ours.
Exam to ab hoga hi.
Yes.. because many are saying they downloaded it directly from website

Ye last line ke wajah se doubt badh gaya. I hate to ask this but kya ye asli press release hai? :P
Internet pe nahi mil rahi.
Ya...So last line ki wajah se doubt ho raha tha ki ye asli press release hai ki nahi.
The new release sounds just apt for a govt institution (tone deaf, miserly and absurd. What does arranging public transport at "optimal level" mean anyway?).
9000 bachchon ko khaana khilane me ph*t li inki. And the argument is not that we might catch COVID...coz anyhow most of us will be staying back and eating at the center. And two rooms for those coughing, sneezing, breathless will just not be enough to fit us all.
Anyhow, ek akhari prayas from my side for CSE...
Inhone subah me hint bhi diya tha...
Student papers are often unreadable not only because their grammar is bad and their sentences incomplete, but also because they are way, way too abstract. Assigned to write about some idea, students can't think of examples easily and get caught in the sphere of ethereal ideas and stay there. Abstract words multiply on the page in unpleasant clusters. If you ask freshmen to write about, say, The relationship between wealth and productivity in a market society, watch out. Few will notice that the terms relationship, wealth, productivity and market society need definition or examples. They will just move those vague terms around like checkers on a board, repeating them, and hoping that through repetition something will be said. The resulting paper will be mush.
The classic writers on style have talked about this abstraction problem going on a hundred years. Henry Fowler coined the term "abstractitis" for this multiplication of abstractions
