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.

Was feeling burnt out yesterday. Could not bring myself to study. That's when it hit me. I had not had a guilt free break in a while. So put off my books, watched a movie, talked to friends. Did not even touch the newspaper. Felt so nice.
New start today. Feeling refreshed.

Here repeats the history of postponement of upsc.. The question of which date.. with all the permutations and combinations at work..student work should be just study and give exam.. And here we are calculating and researching available slots for upsc exam..
The fight of patience.. For few the joy of postponement.. For others the struggle to go for few more days.. For some changing of schedules and targets..
Was it a policy failure or complacency on the part of public.. Who knows and who cares.. Opening of vaccination for above 18years is a welcome move.. But do we have enough vaccines for even 60 percent of adult population of India.. Pharma sector being allowed to sell 50 percent stock directly to private hospitals and states... With curbs from USA..what will be the production level be..vaccine manufacturer moderna firm not interested to come to India.. Phizer won't come without indemnity bond.. Johnson and Johnson 1 shot vaccine has run into its own controversies.. Also 1 shot jab is more effective in those who have already recovered from covid earlier..
To me it seems.. Its just the way of higher ups to wash their hands from the mess their policy formulation has created.. The way politics was played over farmers protest.. The way health infra was neglected..the way no restrictions were imposed on festivals in last 1 month.. The way rallies in Bengal made it seem that everything being good.. The way railways was flocked by unnecessary travels..
And here we are contemplating the exam dates again like last year.. Memories of going through torture of writing mains in chilling weather of North.. Again planning to plead with autorickshaw outside upsc centres to take us back to our place after exams..also waiting outside Karol bagh metro station for autorikshaws and cabs in the fog..
On the positive side.. Masks has come off in israel.. Last month they had a very high case load.. They went ahead with vaccination drive for all adults by buying from phizer.. Also another good news is our neighbour Bhutan has remained safe.. So may b upsc can allow examination centres in Bhutan this time..
All hail covid !
