CSE 2023: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine

Hi guys, prep wise things are going okay. Not great, not too bad either. Writing tests and doing newspaper regularly, although syllabus completion is not upto satisfaction.

Need some advice on non-academic problems. The thing is I have two crippling addictions that are affecting my efficiency a lot.

One is my smartphone,(YouTube and reddit) I know that I have to stop it and reduce it. There are a few days when I have it under control and then it goes haywire again. I tried reducing the time, locking my phone etc but doesn't work in the long run. I somehow slip off. When this smartphone addiction is at it's peak my sleep cycle gets disrupted and preparation also gets affected due to erratic timings.

And the other is addiction for sweets and chocolates. Late night snacking is one problem. Also during the day I have my fill and sometimes doze off, again wasting my time. My parents also don't seem to bother with my unhealthy eating habits.

Both the problems are quite long term and started primarily in college as a sort of escape from stress. Haven't been able to shake it off even after 1.5 years of graduating.

Can you guys suggest some ways to overcome this? I am putting around 4-5 hours of productive study every day but I want to get around 7-8 benchmark. Please help a fellow UPSC marathon runner out.:sweat_smile:

I'm addicted to these too, for a slightly different reason; Reddit, Sweets, Candies. Just replace Youtube with Hollywood Movies.


Just yesterday evening, after a sudden urge to turn-around my sorry excuse of a life, I ended up browsing r/productivity. Some posts there were enormously helpful. A post was made there just two days ago: 'Discipline is overrated, Successful people cheat instead'. Do check that out. Specifically points on Momentum, Restart, and Managing your Energy. Its the first post when sorting by Top>Month.


Also, came across a comment on there, suggesting to read first 5 Pages of James Clear's 'Atomic Habits'. Like all Self Help books, its very repetitive. But, if you read just first 3-4 Pages of Ch 1 (about British Cycling team), and Summary given at the end of Chapters, it'll take just 10 minutes. Its PDF is available on Web Archive. Check that one out too.

It would be really helpful if you attach reddit r/productivity's post link ^D^

@SiddhantW trek? Like trek? 🥺


Nah dude, Kahan possible proper trek in a day. Was referring to our daily morning walk up a hill. City looks v pretty from up in the morning.


Anyway today I realise, there is a strong need of determination and will power for me. Also I need to improve my inner confidence ? Somewhere think both are itner connected.

@Deepanshu_Namdev Just notes prep for MGP Qs and topics. Kahin se to shuruat karni hai notes ki.

On that note, @everyone please recommend sites with quality content online. Was using Drishti earlier, but now realising thoda precision and clarity kam h udhar. Same topic from IAS Parliament (didnt even know about it) felt so much better. @LetsGetThisBread I remember you said you used online resources extensively. 


Can you tell with example as why drishti ias isn't that effective? It'll be really helpful for aspirants like me who are in a way dependent on drishti for daily CA.

Hello folks,
Could anyone from a non humanities background or someone not actively interested in subjects like polity and governance, kindly brief me as to how they go about internalizing or retaining them.
I have read it multiple times but somehow end up not retaining much. This could attributed to lack of active interest or too objective frame of mind that I possess.

Any interest generating or memorising techniques, suggestions, inputs are welcome 😊

Science background here

Boss, can you be a Lil bit more specific as to what you really want to internalise and memorise?

Concepts of polity can be understood by creating algorithms of 'if,not and while format' eg. All three emergencies. 

If you want to understand the philosophy behind it, then that's a different ball game.


While to retain those articles you'll need to juxtapose them. How is A358 different than A359 etc.

You can also try to understand the ordering of articles. 

A constitution of a country would first want to define what the country is, it's boundaries, it's citizens and it's state etc. Hence A(1-12) and so on.

People have their own biases and life worlds which they project onto others, don't they ? Sometimes it helps us  make quick decisions that protect us from unknown 'things' and sometimes our projections cost us an opportunity. It happens with all of us right ? 

Well I finally changed my username :)) Am I happy with it? maybe? 

I hope after 30-40 years, Someone re-creates GOT again pursuing  all the plots and mysteries present in The Song of Ice and Fire.

..Ghostwalker is currently going through emotional crisis.. 

Jabse preparation start kia tabse khud ko socially disconnects kar dia. Yha tak ki sim hi change kar dia, abtak social media pe login bhi nahi kia. Nye Dost banaye preparation me 

Lekin dost ka clear nahi hua aur unhone preparation leave krke aage nikal gaye.. Maine khud ko samjhaye rakha.

Sigma male ki video dekh dekh ke stay strong aur stay alone krte rha.. Phir achanak mahsoos hota hai, aap kamjor ho rahe hai Aap akela ho rahe hai.. 

Aap bahut kuch bolna, kahna aur sunna chahte hai but koi sunne wala hi nahi hai..

Tabhi achanak koi Full moon ki tarah aata hai. Aur charo taraf roshni kar deta hai. Aur jabtak aap sochte hai ki kya ye sach hai. Tabtak Phir Amavsya ki kali rate Aa jati hai Aur shayad vo bhi chla jata hai.. 

AUR Phir se vahi routine wahi kam aur wahi schedule wahi drama aap apne charo taraf pate hai.. 

Kabtak keyboard par emotions nikalte RHOGE samajh hi ni aata.. 

Agar koi advice ho to do dosto.. 

Mai is situation se niklana chahta hu.. 

Phir se Sigma male bnna chahta hu..

Sigma, Alpha male concepts are good for entertainment purpose. Maybe being a Sigma in real life is even better. However don't get lost towards toxic masculinity while aspiring to be a Sigma. Introspect what kind of person would you want to be and work towards it. People will keep on moving in and out of your life. It's you, who'll have to make peace with x,y,z number of people. 

Loneliness is very subjective and very temporary feeling. One day you are surrounded by people and the next day you aren't. Strong determination, will power and some sort of  'false consciousness' / romanticism i  to pull out of it. 

Finding Beauty in mundane things helps to generate false consciousness and boost our morale. I like@Morticia and@Rashmirathi's way of using sher-o-shayari helps romanticise our everyday mundane life. If one is at their all time low, listening to "Everyday Normal Guy 2 " can help as well. 

Since Loneliness like any other feeling be it love, happiness etc are temporary feelings. At the moment I have temporary solutions to them. 

Also out of context;
Dr Ambedkar quotes Emerson," Consistency is a virtue of an ass. No thinking human being can be tied down to a view once expressed in the name of consistency. More important than consistency is responsibility. A responsible person must learn to unlearn what he has learned." 

Out of context 2

Convocation ke baad we went to a trip, trip mai did all the fun you can expect from 22-23 year old.  


Now I'm back! Full throttle mai padhai toh karni hai but some deep pains will share:


1. My friends earning in lumpsome amount and I'm not.  

2. People looked up to me during my first year. Now I'm irrelevant. Not really. But I feel like so!! 

3. It's hard for me to open up to my friends .

Bas itna hi.fun ka fomo nahi horaha muje, but feel I'll be alone. I'm sure uske liye you guys are there!

It would be better if you give me validation and stuff like that

Got up late. Then watched House of Dragons. 

Earlier I used to be like “Zindagi ho to aisi ho… warna zinda to…” (Guddu pandit kahin)

 I’d rather want to be free folk. The only wish is to have the name to family and kins. Because they have invested in me and look up to me. 

The politics to power becomes fierce because of the rule that Winner takes it all. There should rather be a proportional representation. 

Today’s targets:

  1.  Newspaper
  2.  Modern history (I’ll try to finish it by today)
  3. CA 
  4. Test


How's House of Dragons ? I'm very reluctant to watch it after the shit show of season 8

It’s slowly picking up its pace. Btw I don’t find it much fascinating to watch as GoT. There’s more drama this time.

 I found season 7 & 8 more fascinating to watch. It was the crux of the series.

I was more fascinated by the concept of free folks/ wildlings. 

Ohh. Free Folks don't bend the knee naa ??

Public hangings were a family event in England in the mid centuries, with tickets being sold by hotel owners to provide the best view from their respective room windows or balconies. People would enjoy the hangings with ale and snacks and return to business post the deed was done.

I realised I'm losing friends, met a college friend last week and I was told that I've changed and vibes don't match as I'm relatively calm and quiet and think and speak. 
I did my graduation in pune, and my friends group had different goals. So, I cameback to my hometown to prepare for my exam as I was not getting any inspiration there, some of my school friends are preparing for CSE and some of them gave mains twice. So, I started to hang out with them and started preparing. 
I felt a little bad that I was told that I've changed and didn't really enjoy meeting my college friend (all they would talk about is trips and parties) but then I am the kind of person who'd always prefer a camping trip than go to a party. 
I don't know, because when I was with them I used to feel that I'm not this person and what I'm now is something I feel like being myself. 
I don't know what has drifted apart, but only some people get what I have been upto and why I can not pick their calls. Also, lost two of my really close friends from office which I came to know that one of them is married and didn't even bother to tell me. 
All this feels bad sometimes, but I don't know. 
anyways, sorry for the long rant.

Number of 'I's in this comment makes it very relatable to me! How small the life has become, surrounded by I, me & myself. Last week I was lonely AF, because I wasn't with myself.  Nowadays I am in pretty nice company as I've started respecting & talking to myself. There will be days you will seek people & you will feel lonely in an ocean of people & there will also be days when you don't want to talk to anyone except your own self.  

Accept the uncertainty & move on. I'm trying & seems it's working!

Look at the 'I's again! Haha

During gym : focus on warm up and cool down. V V imp.

After gym : hot bath,recover your body achese by sleeping + strech karlena joints.

Next day soreness: if manageable carry on with planned workout. If not so manageable cardio karlo + abdomen. If not at all manageable then bhayy rest karlo, ghai nahi hai body banane ki.

Starting out a bit late. The targets for today-

Shubh Prabhat doston! 

Spent almost the whole day in college,beginning with admission form hassles and ending with boring Drafting class. Agin did nothing beyond newspaper. 

I have time till 3 pm tomorrow. Will try to cover what I committed for today. 

I need to reinforce the following- MightyyyyRajuuu jaldi kar. 

@Morticia Tbh, I was about to enquire about this chaand. 

@Pepethefrog Sab khairiat se dost? 

@Lawstice Papers going to JNU under this sarkar. Lol. Modiji-Lal maane khatra. Another lol. 

@Hi______ You can try if they are offering something like this bhai. But going by their track record, I suspect them to be offering anything meaningful. I toh doubt ki they will kidnap aspirants and ask for ransom from parents. 

Shubh Ratri doston! 

I'm aware of how much you love his rants :P


Also look what I came across,

"Mighty Raju has come up with more super human powers this time. He received his super powers from the compound named Neutrino, that his mother had mistakenly consumed in her prenatal state. Mighty Raju risks his own safety and fights with all sort of evil powers to rescue the people of Aryaman Nagar. He never gives up and is always determined to win over wicked people . Catch up with Mighty Raju"

Meanwhile mighty Raju busy with Julie :p 

I've never seen a single episode of this cartoon. The only knowledge I have of it is via  my young cousins. 

"Wait a minute!"

Raju is not with chutki and has a new girl named Julie? 

That's interesting@THE_MECHANIC 

The Raju you are talking is with chota bheem named cartoon then they later started new cartoon named mighty Raju which has different story 

Vse chutki to bheem k sath thi na Raju to side character tha 🙈🙈

Talking about cartoons, what's this sudden wave of mythological and religious characters/gods taking over the entertainment space? 🥸

"Gadget guru ganesha" "Bajrangi" " Chhota bheem" etc.

I'm blessed to have had old CN as an integral part of my childhood 😅🤲🏻


Regarding that the cartoon made in india have such names like bal Hanuman , chota bheem , rest of them are made in other countries American Japan china ( not completely sure though 😅😅)



"Sherdil" 🥹 

Yeah I am aware about that but I hardly seem to find a mixed basket of animations to choose from, which is so unfair to the kids.

We had anime, classics, contemporary and what not! 

Can do a reunion of them 😅😅

That's interesting@THE_MECHANIC 

The Raju you are talking is with chota bheem named cartoon then they later started new cartoon named mighty Raju which has different story 

Vse chutki to bheem k sath thi na Raju to side character tha 🙈🙈

Talking about cartoons, what's this sudden wave of mythological and religious characters/gods taking over the entertainment space? 🥸

"Gadget guru ganesha" "Bajrangi" " Chhota bheem" etc.

I'm blessed to have had old CN as an integral part of my childhood 😅🤲🏻


Regarding that the cartoon made in india have such names like bal Hanuman , chota bheem , rest of them are made in other countries American Japan china ( not completely sure though 😅😅)



"Sherdil" 🥹 

Yeah I am aware about that but I hardly seem to find a mixed basket of animations to choose from, which is so unfair to the kids.

We had anime, classics, contemporary and what not! 

Can do a reunion of them 😅😅

They didn't feature my family here 😒

Anyway, here we are!

Watch The Addams Family: The Animated Series Streaming Online - Yidio

Well now they grown up 😅😅

Yeah this was when we disassosiated from CN and made ourselves a movie. Circa 2019

You have hyped up The Addams Family soo much that I'm getting fomo for not watching it. 

Guess who's gonna binge The Addams Family this week ? #StarsandSunshines

Starting out a bit late. The targets for today-

Shubh Prabhat doston! 

Spent almost the whole day in college,beginning with admission form hassles and ending with boring Drafting class. Agin did nothing beyond newspaper. 

I have time till 3 pm tomorrow. Will try to cover what I committed for today. 

I need to reinforce the following- MightyyyyRajuuu jaldi kar. 

@Morticia Tbh, I was about to enquire about this chaand. 

@Pepethefrog Sab khairiat se dost? 

@Lawstice Papers going to JNU under this sarkar. Lol. Modiji-Lal maane khatra. Another lol. 

@Hi______ You can try if they are offering something like this bhai. But going by their track record, I suspect them to be offering anything meaningful. I toh doubt ki they will kidnap aspirants and ask for ransom from parents. 

Shubh Ratri doston! 

I'm aware of how much you love his rants :P


Also look what I came across,

"Mighty Raju has come up with more super human powers this time. He received his super powers from the compound named Neutrino, that his mother had mistakenly consumed in her prenatal state. Mighty Raju risks his own safety and fights with all sort of evil powers to rescue the people of Aryaman Nagar. He never gives up and is always determined to win over wicked people . Catch up with Mighty Raju"

Meanwhile mighty Raju busy with Julie :p 

I've never seen a single episode of this cartoon. The only knowledge I have of it is via  my young cousins. 

"Wait a minute!"

Sociologists call this phenomena as a form of religious revivalism. Where religion tries to stay relevant in dynamic society  leading to situation of ailenation and adaption.

Though from an artistic pov, There seems to be a projection of one's imagination coloured with one's social location. Mixing of God themes and cartoons is not restricted to India. Lot's of anime have references to Japanese religions and mythology. Naruto's Kyubi, Sasuke's Amatratsu, Indra are examples of how local stories are incorporated into the mangaka's imagination of ninja world. Similarly One piece also have references to Greeco, Japanese, Egpytian mythology and Gods.


Then we have Percy Jackson where Greek Gods are adapted into imagination. 

Also you remember Hades and Hercules cartoon during our childhood? Was a part of Disney if I remember correctly. Basically convergence of cartoons , religion and mythology has been there.

Even your fav The Addams familyseems to be influenced from vampire/ goth culture and mythology of medeival Europe?

Since the artists and the audience are not isolated from the society it's natural to have those connections drawn and explored upon.


If one tries to integrate individualistic and sociological perspective we realise, with new structures, new ideas emerge and somehow old ideas find a way in new ideas. This can either be because of cultural lag or because the tenacity of old ideas or maybe because of artistic laziness.


Tldr : I need to get a life outside this forum.

Bhayy iska math doesn't add up. 

remaining 58 ,mai 44 right, 14 wrong. ->98.38

What I learnt from here is 55-60 khud attempt kar solve karke and with affordable mistakes you'll score 95+ which is decent enough to qualify. No need to take risksss.

Abhi padho mains ka. Went through this year's socio paper 1. Doable hai, we can ace it.

Paper 2 socio ka can be a bit unpredictable, let's see whether we are surprised this year or not.

It hurts when you  no longer have that someone. Slowly you stop listening to your favourite music, slowly you stop doing things that you enjoy because now those things remind you of that someone. You stop singing your favourite song, you stop watching your favourite show, you try to explore new things which may not necessary give you happiness. 


Well exploring new things has it's pros and cons. I would want to explore new things with a positive and empty mind space. Which I don't think is possible for me right now. Or I would want to explore new things with people I feel comfortable with. 


Am I a hopeless romantic ? Am I too emotional ? yadda yada. Do I overshare to random new people? YUP. Do they lose interest in me after I overshare ? YES.

http://inet.vidyasagar.ac.in:8080/jspui/bitstream/123456789/5425/1/10_Koyel%20Chanda.pdf This paper deals with application of Devi- Dasi dichotomy theory in a story of Ismat Chugtai. 

Some important lines which may not need context -> 

The ‘dasi’ role allows her to change masters if the living gets tough whereas the role of a ‘devi’ restricts her life and her movements. Both the roles have a downside for women. However it is to be borne in minds that both these roles are constructed keeping male interests and desires in mind. So it is futile to expect that these roles can ever allow women to explore her potentialities as well as her freedom. What emerges from the text is the ambivalence of the position of Indian women.

Shubh Sandhya doston!


As the tiffin service is off, so I was eating ice cream, but I chose a quite bad place for sitting and I ended up having a 2 hour+ debate/argument with a stranger (he interrupted me while I was talking to my friends, so the debate was uninvited), mostly related to Indian policymaking, society, religion, education, judiciary and constitution. 

can't express my views here cos I'll be cancelled by the whole forum community.

Surat station के बाहर ठंडी bench थी, चाय गरम थी

बगल में एक ताऊ के हाथ में बीड़ी थी जो लगभग ख़तम थी

मैंने बस दो-चार चुस्कियाँ ली थी कि उतने में ताऊ ने दूसरी सुलगा ली थी

मुझे जाने क्यूँ तेरी याद आई, मैं उठा और चल दिया


Han Mai chal diya....aur gaya Gym. People idolise Kabir Singh but we don't. We Went to gym for a  brief refreshment from our usual dancing sessions. I mean 30 mins of workout really boosts up our productivity right? With the mindset of doing cardio today I entered gym only to find out that the usual aunties were wearing Sarees today. Aunties were looking Apsaras in their Green Sarees. Well, Navratre has it's pros and cons and who would have thought, one of the blessing of navratre was Dancinmaster dancing with em Apsaras in the GYM. I Did do Cardio today just the different kind, wink wink.


One of the Apsara had cool tattoos, while the other had highlighted  her hair. It was fun to ball dance with them and record our videos on their SNAPCHAT.  They are very cool and happy and warm. So ya@Tata not calling them auntie helps (': 


I did dance for 600 mins today (': still a lot to do and cover and learn. First half of the day was okaish cause  :अक्सर, मरे हुए लोग बीच - बीच में जिंदा होने का नाटक करते रहते हैं!: gave me BT. But then, the day grew on me. Slowly and steadily I did dance for 600 mins which honestly  seemed difficult today. Yahan ki mehfil helped boost my juices today, Ig im really a ShayariSimp.

@Morticia tbh we all have our base instincts like dark humour and so on. Expecting the masses literate & illiterate too live virtuously is expecting too much. Virtue is a kingly trait rare to find it among the masses.

@DancingMaster it's called parenting. Works sometimes, does not work other times. For the state to do it, I would rather prefer using stick effectively. Spare the rod spoil the child. 


That was my question. What would happen if state uses stick for welfare of masses ? Are there chances of revolt? Will the seemingly divided masses unite to oppose state for teaching them democratic values ? or will they go into competition against each other to see who democratises first? What will happen if they engage in competition ? What will community who democratise first do to the other community?

@ryzenauster Here in this context(bulldozer)would democratic valuespertain to feelings of fraternity and substantive justice?  How would you teach opposing primordial masses who want to get back at each other, fraternity with stick ? If revolt does occur, what are the chances that the masses who oppose each other  will unite against the state?  Lol Ik I'm narrowing down  the possibilities and overall theme, there are various other dimensions of state instrument and hegemony that we can wrangle upon but ig we have other people for it.

Han Mai chal diya....aur gaya Gym. People idolise Kabir Singh but we don't. We Went to gym for a  brief refreshment from our usual dancing sessions. I mean 30 mins of workout really boosts up our productivity right? With the mindset of doing cardio today I entered gym only to find out that the usual aunties were wearing Sarees today. Aunties were looking Apsaras in their Green Sarees. Well, Navratre has it's pros and cons and who would have thought, one of the blessing of navratre was Dancinmaster dancing with em Apsaras in the GYM. I Did do Cardio today just the different kind, wink wink.


One of the Apsara had cool tattoos, while the other had highlighted  her hair. It was fun to ball dance with them and record our videos on their SNAPCHAT.  They are very cool and happy and warm. So ya@Tata not calling them auntie helps (': 


I did dance for 600 mins today (': still a lot to do and cover and learn. First half of the day was okaish cause  :अक्सर, मरे हुए लोग बीच - बीच में जिंदा होने का नाटक करते रहते हैं!: gave me BT. But then, the day grew on me. Slowly and steadily I did dance for 600 mins which honestly  seemed difficult today. Yahan ki mehfil helped boost my juices today, Ig im really a ShayariSimp.

Hi everyone,

Coming back to forum for accountability after a long time. I hope I stay. I'll be studying for two things for the next eight months—UPSC prelims & RBI Grade B (Both Phase I & Phase II).

In my last attempt, I decided to write RBI after getting very low marks in my UPSC prelims mock tests. It was supposed to be a backup. I managed to do well but I could not clear the sectional cutoff for Quant. In UPSC too, I was fairly confident of getting to write Mains after tallying my answers with coaching answer keys but did not find my name in the list. Studied for NABARD for two months after that but could not give my best. I just could not put in the hours. The result for NABARD phase 1 isn't out but I am, most probably, not going to make it. So, I need to start studying for 2023 with a view to do good in RBI as well as UPSC prelims. 

I want to complete studying the Finance & Management paper of RBI, cover the current affairs backlog for both RBI & UPSC & do one revision of LR & Quant in the month of October. In November, I want to complete the ESI portion of RBI & topics of UPSC prelims that I am particularly week at—Geography, Ecology, Science Basics & some parts of environment. After that, I can focus more of my time at prelims alone. So, that's the plan for now. 

I'll start posting my targets from tomorrow. 

Heyy! I'm glad you'll be active once again! lowkey missed you.

Double time issue

Hi everyone currently I am writing mains test in exam like condition but I have faced double time issue like 

10 Question 15 marker = 1.5 hours but I completed all in 3hrs

Similarly full length 3 hrs but it takes around 6 hrs. To complete the test.. 

Doubt.. 

1.Is it manageable with continuous writing that I can complete in time. 

2. What should I focus now good quality content or time..

One must figure out the reason for crossing  time limit.

Have they not internalised their quality content? Or do they take time to understand the demand of the question? Or do they face problem in creating fast mental framework of answers? Or they genuinely have slow writing speed? Maybe they are facing a burnout? 


Each problem has it's own solution.  Multiple revisions, numbering different subparts of the question, having an already prepared mental framework helps and so does practising answers in a timed manner. For burn out, maybe take a break.

FMS,KMS. I can't even write an essay. Last year I got up while writing an essay and viola history repeats itself now. Was trying to write essay on 'History is a series of victories won by the scientific man over the romantic man' and while I had good ideas, I'm not able to organise them. I really need to organise my thoughts. Creation of flow is  of paramount importance for me. Giving up writing an essay, is not a good sign.

What should I focus on? Create a strong rough draft, Even if it takes 45mins to make one do it. Otherwise you'll again give up while writing. And mate you need to practise a lot. A lot.

What should I focus on? Create a strong rough draft, Even if it takes 45mins to make one do it. Otherwise you'll again give up while writing. And mate you need to practise a lot. A lot. 

So Just finished writing 4 sociology answers. I didn't revise the topic before writing these questions but I was able to write optimum answers with a lil bit time issue. However, writing these answers made me realise that I work on spontaneity. Points flow into my mind organically when I start writing. First I write one point and during that writing point few other points flow organically. 


Maybe it's because I don't have strong imaginary / mental ability ? Or maybe because I have internalised the content and therefore I don't have to think and brainstorm ? Whatever be the case the issue is I try this same approach ( of going with the flow) for writing essays and this is where I mess up.  Half way through the essay I realise I could have added another dimensions, or the flow could have been better the other way around.


Adding to the above issue, answers have a pre-defined format. No matter what the question is they'llgenerally  ask advantages and  disadvantages or maybe at times applications and comparisons. Essay is way more than this constrained set of ideas. 


Chalo koi nahi, I have nowhere to go than up. Lagne do time, ajj nahi toh kal hojaega. We don't have to stop. Kal wapis karenge ya fir class hi laga lenge Lekin won't crib down and stop believing in myself.

Kaafi happening thread hai yeh toh. Forum par bahut dino baad aayi and tbh missed this place a lot. 

Now that mains is over and I know where I lack, I need to start again for the same. Similarly I am also trying to focus on RBI Grade B as well, I wasn't able to clear but I did score theek thak marks and with good efforts aur acha kar leti shayad. So now for the next three months focus would be optional, aptitude for other exams and some other stuff where I lack. 

Baaki, I am so happy to see this thread. Forum has given me many friends and I am so happy to see that happening again here :)

Targets - Newspaper and Rest. Tabiyat down hai thodi. Plus aage ke plan.

Do y'all actually quote zizek in optionals? I mean ain't he a bit radical from upsc perspective?

For socio, I have been advised by teachers to not quote contemporary/ radical thinkers eg. bell hooks. Teachers were like it would backfire if the evaluator hasn't heard about them.

Didn’t write answers. All other targets achieved. Satisfied with today’s progress.

2 Text and context sections on Local government and Seasons & Economy caught my eye. Ispe pura ka pura thesis likh sakta hu. Kyon ki maine inhe bahut paas se observe kiya hai.

The crux is: 

  1. The concerns that Ambedkar had about local democracy, were right. The traditional zamindars still dominate the local politics.
  2. Indian people always had idea of seasons, festivals and harvest in their minds. Still many Rural MSMEs and other activities function according to that cycle. Banks and Economists should also formulate their policies based on seasons rather than the Gregorian calendar, where there was only the concept of winters, when military could not move.

Interesting fact, Gregorian calendar had originally 10 months. Later July and August were added in the name of Julius and Augustus. 31 days in both the months were also kept to honour them.

People! Am suffering from a weird Bimari. I prepare notes, I revise them multiple times n then write a test but not able to write anything from my notes! Not getting good marks but I have sufficient content to write in all the questions. Koi tonic/totka/treatment?

Being able to a complete answer is never an issue for people who have been studying since 2-3 years, what matters is whether that completed answer has quality or not. 

Try to frame questions from your notes and  answer them? Refer pyqs for reference?

First step towards reproducing your content in tests is to reproduce them in practice answers. If you still aren't able to reproduce content from your notes while writing answers in tests, it's better to refer notes during the test. Mains has good enough 11 months of time, 3hrs/1 and half hours mai likhne ka load mat lo abh.

Also try to analyse where else you can use that content? Can you use same content in geo,envi, history,econ etc? Try to analyse in which parts of the answer you can use thatsamecontent. This certainly helps to internalise things.

@mightyraju  totally agree with you. Merit should decide who deserves to be a judge. There should be an objectivity in the system.

But there are two issues:

  1. those who possess power would not agree to give it up
  2. what exactly is merit? Merit depends on your family background, Education background, resources, approach etc.

PK knows how to create “brand” of someone. He has no brand value of himself. 

@Lawstice  there’s no dichotomy between culture and business. While the first is about identity (India’s way), the other is about survival :p

And I don’t get cluttered by “-isms”. Shikari aayega, dana dalega, lalach mein aakar fansna nahi :p

Also I talk about culture because currently studying sociocultural anthropology and observing things in my surroundings, and also because these are in news consistently. Hame to sirf exam nikalne se kaam hai. Kranti nahi laani. Bas aware rehna hai about everything.

And also, how to delete the account from here, for future reference. Kya pata kab kaun kya screenshots leke viral kar de 🤪

how do you know that you're doing enough? Lately I have been feeling a little hopeless about my prep. I am struggling to understand how every day is going to add up altogether on the final day of the exam. This would be my second attempt and I believe that I am putting in the effort on most days, if not everyday. But what do you guys hold on to that assures you that you're on the right track? I thought I could find hope in my mock score improvements, no matter how small. But for the past 2 weeks I have been feeling like that isn't enough.

Fun fact: it’s really easy for teachers to figure out who’s about to cheat because they always look at you and then hunker down a bit. Kids think we don’t see them and that they’re being really clever when they get away with cheating, little do they realise whatever little they are able to achieve in terms of “collaborative assessment” is because we turn a blind eye. I wonder if my teacher ever saw me exchange sheets in school and then decided to turn a blind eye to it 😅

@LetsGetThisBread I guess I had "the look" even when I wasn't cheating which explains why teachers used to stand next to me in exam hall and kept on looking at whatever I was writing. 🥲

It's very hard to believe that you aren't a good cheater.

About Dipin sir, he's content is good, but he doesn't present his content in an interesting manner. His approach and teaching looks mechanical to me. And now that I'm following newspapers diligently content value addition from his lectures is somewhat  reducing for me.

Heard Vikas divyakirti ki Baja dali logo ne 😆 this has reaffirmed my belief that most of these twitter pretenders have not even read Valmiki's Ramayana ,let alone Mahabharata, and their entire notion of Ramayana is based on a TV serial.

I hope this isn't controversial.


Yes, the masses  work on their biases and their stereotypes, whose  repercussions are faced by intellectuals like Divyakarthi Sir. It's  frightening for me to witness all of this. I wish people would read and introspect more.  Did you see the Lalantap video where Sir was given a platform to clear all the misunderstanding? The host was very polite, asked relevant questions and actually listened to Sir when our Sir was giving proof for the points he mentioned in the  controversial video. The host is entirely opposite to our  rozke news channel anchors. Also the quickness shown by Lalantap in uploading their video is commendable.Within a day or so, they addressed the issue and uploaded the video in order to rectify the damages done to our Sir.  One more thing that I found interesting in that video was the compassion showed by the host towards Sir's family and mental health. 

Having such an effective alternative medium is a sign of hope for me and I wish  that similar platform, quick response and treatment will be provided to marginal sections (women, sc/sts and religious minority) of our society if some similar incident happens to them. I mean similar controversy happened with a vision lady prof earlier this year right ? Vocal Dalits and Tribals have been silenced as well and so is the case with religious minority. I expect next time Lalantap will  provide similar platform to vulnerable sections of our society and not just be limited to  a Brahmin-man.


Boy I had to tone down my anger and words to type this out. I had to change my tone to make it look like it's constructive criticism. Yeh tone policing is somewhat difficult for me, Challo I'm still learning

@Avixiva Congrats,yaar! Your post made me recall the time when some peeps used to be regular with posting daily targets on this thread.As a follow up,I commit myself to posting daily targets(even if I will be having other commitments) for the rest of the days leading up to 28th May(barring 28 November to 4th December+when college exams happen). I have been poor on discipline for over a month now and I felt deeply anxious yesterday night!

@D503 Pardon granted, comrade!

@sstarrr Haha.Also,best of luck for your result!

Forum is a nice place where you can anonymously write anything and no one will judge you - love you guys - I mean it. I've only met @Lawstice in person and our vibe matched a lot :) 
I let my mind wander, imagining all the stuff, daydreaming my fantasies. And often suffering in imagination. Read recently 'the power of your subconscious mind' and several YouTube videos on manifestation, let's see if I can manifest my dreams and if they turn into reality. I've also started reading Bhagavad Gita again, understanding it for the first time, such a difficult holy book to understand and much more difficult to actually practice its teachings like Nishkam karma or following a Satvik diet, or keeping oneself away from infatuations or hankering. How much there is to learn and how much mystery is there, several questions keep hovering over my mind when I am with myself doing nothing like what do I actually want from life, how will my love life be, how will life look like in my 70s (if I survive till then), if I can get back to my childhood 
2022 is going to end soon, a decade ago when I watched 2012 and there were rumors that the world will soon end, 2020 and subsequently, 2021 second wave gave us the opportunity to reflect how precious and at the same time fragile our life is, and after my hospitalization got a new lens to look at life. But at times this lens gets hazy. Ab sota hu bahut philosophy jhaad li. shubh ratri :)

Everytime I vibe with someone younger:

Will give CAT today, padha toh kuch nahi hai.

Library is legit fun. Maybe that is why I'm not active here much.

Library mai we are thinking of making our own cult of shaved head scholars. Already 3 people are there, maybe I'll join them today after giving CAT xD 

Took a break from gym and started volleyball, but maybe I'll start w gym again. Volleyball ki Apsara ain't giving me much bhav. 


Umm,, aur kuch toh nhi. Padhai is ok, 7-8 hours avg. I'm not satisfied with it though. Plus prelims ka khauf 🤡


Ayeee One more thing ,,@mightyraju  I'm in love with former CEC SY Qureshi's writing style. The tone he uses to criticize someone is both soft n sharp. Maybe I'll try to internalise it. Do you want context? His article about EC appointment.

It was difficult to adjust my dancing style to different rhythms and therefore have finally concluded that I'll focus on the most dreadful pre ki dhund.

Hello everyone! I'm in a mental dilemma.PLEASE HELP!

Background - 
I am studying ba political science hons from a reputed college of Delhi University. This is my final semester and I'm preparing for upsc alongside. I only started my preparation last October and have completed only polity, economy, geography and little bit of PSIR ( had college exams in December and again will have college exams in May). I wanted to give 2023 attempt just to push myself and check my capabilities otherwise i feared I'll be a bit relaxed if i aimed for 2024. I don't have any other backup option than studying masters in public policy and pursuing that career if i don't clear in 1-2 years. 

If anyone has the same graduation degree as me or on the basis of your experience, please suggest some course of path. Whether I should give attempt next year, first pursue my master's or continue preparing as I am.

I don't have any mentor so I'd be very grateful if you all can genuinely give your suggestions!! Will be highly obliged.

Ig you posted this earlier as well?

Umm,, I graduated from a decent engineering college in '22. Gave that year's pre and learnt numerous things. I'm privileged enough to risk few years of my life. Take your shots accordingly.

This is good stuff. The first two lines of the 3rd pointer wrt “You must know what not to study” are so relatable ngl. Even I struggle to separate the chaff from the grain, when it comes to analysing test paper solutions. FOMO ke chakkar mei I end up spending double the amount of time I decided initially to spend upon, by reading everything, thinking padh hee leta hu kahi isse in future koi question na bann jaaye!

P.S AzadHindFauz bhai tried reviving the Prelims 2020 thread. Udhar copy-paste maar doe if possible. 

Here is the link: https://forumias.com/post/detail/Prelims-2020-Preparing-Repeatedly-Asked-Questions-1599284307?page=20

FOMO end karo. Think like this 30 questions in total are doable from standard materials - You must not miss out on them at all 


Now from the rest 55-60 questions, even if you have 50% accuracy, You'll make it. Any serious aspirant who has studied well and also mastered intelligent guessing is able to increase accuracy in these 55-60 questions to >60%


Also, Thank you for the link. I have copied the post there too. All the best :)

For this week, I'll try to work hard, remaining completely isolated from any outside factor which can influence my mood. Will prepare well for SFG, but won't check the rank list. Will only focus on the mistakes I made, and how I could not have made those. For the next week, will only open one website: academy.forumias  (only 6:50-9:00), and will try to do my best to understand the fact that I have to study some things which I don't like to study; that I have to study some things in moderation and not try to become an expert on them, and that there are many things I wish to read and to do, but there is more than enough time to do them later on.

I will also try to make my daily schedule and study hours unnegotiable, and not let my body or mind interfere with what needs to be done. 

I am usually not so dramatic, but for at least this week, I am non-existent as far as society is concerned. Best of luck everyone.

@Neyawn  Sir, PT Test Series Brochure mentions Simulator Tests as part of Test Series.


Nowhere in the Brochure is it mentioned that we'll have to pay Separately for Simulators. It only mentions:For Simulator tests, students will have to register and obtain the hall-ticket


However, apart from the Open Test, Registration links for other Simulators are redirecting straight to Payment gateway's website.


Is this a bug? If not a bug, is this not Deceptive Marketing?

Is there a compilation / index of all the Explained Articles (the ones in the hard copy) of Indian Express ? I read The Hindu and just wish to give a quick read to these articles (Telegram has separate pdf for each day, and it would be too cumbersome to sort them ).

Idk about the pdf one but there is an official telegram channel of Express explained that has links of all articles with titles, so maybe you can skip irrelevant ones.

If someone is struggling with low marks in full length tests (any institute's), just keep in mind that there's still decent amount of time. Enough to revise everything properly, be it current affairs or static/basic material, or to work on mistakes!🙂

Love how supportive this thread is<3

Some unsolicited suggestions:


1.Current affairs:Follow only 1 source diligently. If you pick up last 2-3 year PYQs, can see the utility of doing heavy current affairs material. Not much. So no point in going crazy over current affairs. But at the same time it's important to cover major topics in news, and some important factual things.


2.Test papers:It is always tempting to practice new tests instead of going back to already solved ones, and analyzing mistakes, revising weak topics, etc. So instead of running behind XYZ tests from so many places without a plan, just stick to those one you have been already doing, or have planned to do or atleast restrict to some number of FLTs (5,10,15 20, whatever works for an individual), as there's going to be a flood of test papers in the market from now on. And due to fear and anxiety, we tend to keep increasing new tests, and new material.


3.PYQs:Focus more on PYQs after/with some practice of FLTs, because that's going to help more than new random test papers. Focus on repeatedly asked topics more. Focus on easily doable topics from tough subjects which have been asked multiple times. 


4.Weak areas:Figure out your weak areas. We all have. Areas from where there has been regular questions in prelims but you're still getting them wrong in test papers. Focus more on that. Then focus on areas which seems to be important (as per test papers, PYQs, own analysis), but you're getting questions wrong. Revise them properly. Then common things which we keep forgetting, revise them more.


5.Random things in test papers, current affairs material:If there's some topics which are not important at all as per PYQs, but still being asked in test papers or given in current affairs material, then it might not be that important. Just gain some knowledge and move on. No need to go crazy over those "new areas", which may be random, and even irrelevant at time. We can find those more in sectional tests than FLTs.


Hope this helps! :)

Reddit is pseudonymous platform that hosts multiple communities on various interests (Bollywood, Dating, Cooking, etc). UPSC is one among many.

Since this is the most active thread on Forum, I'll just put it here.


Some of you might remember me. I am a relatively older member of the Forum community and have benefitted a lot when I was preparing from my home. I have made some lifelong friends on this community and would suggest you all to use this platform constructively, especially those preparing from home.


I got AIR 68 this year with Anthropology as my optional. If you have anything that I can help you with, feel free to ask here or send me a message. 


P.S.- Asking here in this thread will help others too. If possible, please ask here itself 🙂

Congrats man! I watched your forum Bihar ka talk! Kaffi crazy personality hai tumhari just like your awfg and CA answers (': 

1. Did taking a job ever occurred to you? How did you cope up with the berozgar feeling after passing out of IIT Guwahati ? Did you give other exams and cleared them? or just concentrated on cse? 


2. How much were you scoring in MGP FLT's ? Did the marks reflect in final upsc? Asking because I'm sceptical of mentors now.  


3. How did you manage philosophical essays? How did you prepare for them?

Hello. 


I didn't make it. And it hurts. It does. Most of my forum friends have cleared pre and I didn't. It hurts to feel stagnant, to be stagnant.

@Neyawn wrote an article describing the journey of crimson( Natasha Goel), I was there in that  Ethics ka batch sitting around her. When I read that 4-5 people from that batch had cleared pre, I was hurt. Emotional damage (': yaar.

Teachers, be it neyawn or my socio ke prof have told me ki mera rank nikalega. But abhi unhe kaun bataye ki pre hi clear nahi horaha, toh mains mai kya scope, interview toh dur ki baat. 

Abh tak fake confidence rakhna was doable,Masti karna was fun but now that itna efforts leke bhi pre nahi nikal raha toh confident rehne mai bhi sharam aarahy hai.


I haven't cried yet, I want to, but ansu nikal nahi rahe. Tried to study for EPFO, but mains ka daar sata raha hai. Ajj I'll hit library once again. 

Thought of writing this in 2024 ka thread,cause now I'm 2024, ka aspirant (': but Hey, I have decided ki I'll write mains! Sare Mains ke paper +- 1 day mai likhenge.

Dekhty hai kaun rokta hai muje agle saal rank lane se (':
