Geography optional Mains 2019 discussion | Lessons Learnt

Where are all the poor souls of geo in forum ?
Guys... What do you think about paper 1 ? Would it be like 2017 where people claimed they got much more than expected due to some lenient correction ?
Similarly in paper 2 I found that I had very less case studies and facts to quote on paper. Pls do comment so that we can have a gauge of the way optional is going.

@vvvikas0078212bhai, what was your score in 2016 mains? And what mistakes you did in optional/essay/gs/interview due to which you couldn't get selected?

@hirockyrocks7101801 (137+408+110p1+146p2). Paper 1 bad due to lack of material, didn't know what to study, bought some notes from market. Interview terrible due to lack of preparation. Paper 1 hi major culprit hai. This time I had prepared a lot for it, but again jo notes pdhe and tests diye unse kuch khaas fayda nhi hua. I studied perspectives in human geo extensively, but not much use. I knew boundary classification but it didn't know Harthshorne ne hi diya hai, so I left it. Aise hi kuch bad prep, kuch bad luck. Is bar GS me thodi jada hope hai

@vvvikas0078212I also hate Mumbai weather, very monotonous, asli diversity to Delhi ke weather mein hai, har cheez extreme except rains in which Mumbai triumphs.
