Hello Everyone

I hope everyone is doing well.   

Day 2: was okay but thankfully I did not have backlog baggage to push it to day 3.

Day 3: Day of lets pause. 

  •  4 months current affairs part already done : Read it again -connect the dots 
  • Geography and economics :as mentioned above. Absorb the concepts have the clarity. Don't be over excited to apply the learnt things in a wrong direction 
  • Only new addition is : map work,survey and budget notes 
  • History is no no because above mentioned things will take time

So I was talking to my Parents yesterday  saying that do you know Netherland model that kerela plans to follow. They have this childlike curiosity so I make them understand in layman terms and then viola they just tell me about the Indian jugaad . They are my favorite because they don't know I am helping myself by sharing and then them being my flashcard of pointers for revision. 

Sometimes I do want to tell them Do you guys know that I am serious about this examination,there is no point of hiding it also. But, to be honest I want them to unlearn the established notion of academics and the result orientation. Hopefully I make some difference for kids in the house to be more creative for their dreams

@Patootie 

I am glad that you felt good. And Thanmaathra, duly added to movie bucket list of mumma.  Thank you :blush:

23/08/2020:

Attempted a mock test (without revising anything) just to gauge where I stand.

2 observations:

  1. Number of wrong answers is directly proportional to number of questions attempted.
  2. Need to focus more on Art & culture, Medieval history and govt schemes, indices.

Spent time with family and cousins. Ate Thekua and pirikiya (Bihari cuisines).

24/08/2020 target:

History

CA

Test Revision.

Hi

Since I started my prep two months ago (after a gap of almost an year), the thought of everybody revising numerous more times than me is making me anxious while reading anything. 

I guess posting here brings me the needed courage. 

Target before sleeping today : 

September factly complete (have done till sci and tech)

Art n culture (Handicrafts and performing arts) 


24/8/20 :

3 Environment CA classes  (9 - 1)

Eco CA class notes revision (2 - 4.30)

Art n culture ( SFG syllabus) (5.30 - 8.30 + 9.30 -10.30) 

Phone (10.30-11.30)


Sent CA pdfs to the loved ones( ca class notes to sibling and factlies to girlfriend) and asked them to ask me questions when (if) I talk to them.

went out to  buy a new pair of glasses yesterday. It was lovely to once again be witness to entertaining customers who forage the whole shop with the SA and buy nothing. 

Great to see so many more people on this thread. Made me super charged up to complete the targets. 😂

Haha. Yea.  More ppl more energy. And at this moment I'm reading 6th pillar of mrunal handout with one eye closed. Ek hr toh aise nikal hi dunga before dozing off.

@Naadan_Parinda Is thekua like a mathri? And pirikiya is definitely a gunjiya namesake, right?

@HotBloodPrince Different variations, Thekua is a sweet confectionary while Mathri is sour, it is usually bigger in size as well. Pirikiya is different than Gujiya in filling mostly, but yes shape wise and sweetness wise is more or less the same.

Review of 23rd Aug --->
Just studied ~20 pgs of Modern History notes, also slept for 3 hours extra. Sigh :( 

Will not keep daily targets, instead will try to cover more than 80% of weekly targets. As just 6 weeks are left now and last 10-12 days are for revision, I have 4 weeks to finish whatever I can. Let's see how the next 4 weeks will go.
