Arun was our school leader when I was in 10th grade. I can confirm that he is a sweetheart.

Arun was our school leader when I was in 10th grade. I can confirm that he is a sweetheart. 

In fact, when Chandni Ma’am was giving her last attempt, Arun was doing his masters at National University of Singapore. He flew down to Delhi on the day of her interview to surprise her. Definitely, a super cute couple.

You could check out this book by Poonam Dalal Dahiya. It covers pretty much everything you need to know.

@TabsAndChords I did RS Sharma for ancient and Satish Chandra from medieval. Read them once and then made notes and after that just read the notes. 
For art and culture, I did Nitin Singhania and the NCERT. Tried to convert it to maps, mindmaps as much as I could.
But i did feel that the effort was more than what the prelims required. I ended up making guesses mostly. 
It depends on how much time you want to give it. Others will advise better, but in my opinion, in ancient and medieval for prelims, the most important is: 1. Timelines of rulers 2. Administrative and socio economic characteristics 3. Books, art etc. Reading it from a good source and understanding it will help with the first two. The third one will come from memorisation. So I think if you have time, read it from the textbooks, make notes, and revise only them. 
Also there are some compilations which give lists of keywords. Those may come in handy. 


Thank you for the advice. I see you are very helpful !

Guys, if I say Rick from Rick and Morty is Doraemon after reading Nietzsche, how right or wrong am I? :D

@SergioRamos I was gonna say Doraemom is celibate but then to be extra sure I searched it up and now I’m ashamed I don’t know the answer 


So you’re pretty spot on since here Doraemon looks every bit the player Rick is

The similarities do not end there. Both have to bear the burden of simps!

Doraemon suffers from Nobita's Shezuka Mania while Rick bears the burden of Morty's Jessica fandom! :P
