Okay so my turn.
I have given 2 attempts. Got okay score in optional in 2019 but horrible in GS( two 70's score in 2 GS Papers). Since I was fresh out of college I anyway didn't have much expectations.
This year I have flunked prelims itself. I was totally devastated after this, to the extent that I completely forgot I have anything to do with UPSC. Went back home for a month and came back with mindset to begin things from scratch. Threw away all my Old notes. That was also the time I came to know about forum. I used to DM some of the great guys here like whatonly qoqo and azandhindfauz and ask them everything as if this is my first attempt.
Coming to optional, SergioRamos is right. The only reason I got decent score in my first mains was because I had handmade notes ready for most part of syllabus. This time since I had enough time, I have made my optional notes again( 3rd time).
Most of the questions are very predictable if you have read standard books well+ analysed PYQs. I believe optional is my strong area. Let's see kya hota hai.
Final year se prepration start ki thi kya ???
Han. Last 5 months of final year to be precise.

Optional and gs dono usi time ready kiye the ??
Start optional se kiya tha jab prelims paas aya to GS pe shift kiya. But I was doing all by myself. There was no one to guide isliye mains k level ka GS prepare nai ho paya.

Bhai this is the least that we can do. Acha waqt bura waqt jo bhi ho juzar hi jata hai, yeh bhi guzar jaega.
You motivate us to push harder. I don't know how you are doing it, if I was in your position I wouldn't have been able to do it.
Keep that conviction going.

My bad. Forgot the exact Q . It's related to Ranyo Ashoka. Felt like a trivial fact not useful in analytical Qs that come in optional. So, asked :)
Where are the other places where ashoka name is found? Ncert gave number but not names of sites as far as i remeber. I couldnt even remember the Q exactly that came in prelims, something like Ranyo Ashoka not devanamapiyam on edicts?
