Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@zombielandtelegram I don't know. But quora you can mention. It gave me good marks in 2016

Oh my, oh my

Now that the Kangaroo court has issued its judgement, we hope that it won’t delay much in deciding what is to be done with the bigots. It was never a life worth living, but such delay mars our will to live.

Also, very deferentially, with our torso bending as much as Amit Shah bends his to Modi ji, we seek to be shown clemency, that is, if it’s possible. We are sure that this august court which is the fountainhead of everything humane, does believe in the idea that the erring ones can learn not to err. To wit, that the condemned are capable of expiation.

As a proof of the realization of our mistaken ways, and the consequent willingness to eschew them, we intend to put before the hon’ble court a very encouraging development: we have discovered that our souls have been caged by this government. So we are very eager to demand our azadi.

If this court would be lenient enough to allow us to accompany our saviors who have gathered in the sacred places of ramlila maidan, barricades and so on, and from there are demanding azadi for us fallen mortals — if we are allowed, we shall make gongs of our vocal cords, and shall consecrate the occasion holy with our ceaseless blare.

Some of us are even saying that India’s soul which, as a matter of fact, got lost after 2019 election, can be recovered back through devoted pilgrimage to the shrine of JNU. And many of us have agreed.

We understand that the words of a condemned lot is contemptible, but without us, would not justice itself lose its relevance? Without us unjust beings, would you not too, o judges, become unemployed?

As an aside, as you justices are personages with too much content and too less conceit, it is our expectation that a joke at your expense would not ruffle you too much.

@zombielandand one more thing. Situation in 2016 exam was different. Quora was adorned with eminent personalities. And i used that to my advantage in interview. Later its ruined by extreme views and propaganda. Hopefully the interview boards know it. Now I didn't put any quora answer writing. I learned a new hobby in academy. So I advice you to use it according to your benefit if you've nothing else to put on DAF.

@branthebuildersaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

Anyone planning to mention your hobby as watching stand up comedy?

Seems unlikely that many would mention this

@TeddyWestsidebhaijaan sakaaratmak Soch Rakho thodi. Till the final PDF is not uploaded, I am assuming that I'll be appearing for interview.

@mannemvasukinandan701The honourable Chairman of CAT, L. Narasimha Reddy.

@cholaviet154thanks bro. But quora is the only thing which I do and will need minimum preparation. Apart from this i will have to manufacture hobby

@cholaviet154Could you please tell what exactly you wrote? Reading on Quora/ Writing on Quora?
Can I mention writing on Quora?
(I've 2k+ followers + co-admining multiple spaces and my written answers cater to a specific group of people i.e. specific genre of writing)

@kochikaameare haan vohi; isilie is baar cricket pe research nh ki to break the jinx

@zombielandi know a guy jisne reading quora hobby me likha tha

I always mention "Answering questions on Quora" as my hobby. Ravindran told me that it could swing the interview in my favour. No panel ever asked questions about the same though.

Main toh tennis likhunga I have recently learned this game
And became a big fan but pehle call toh aaye interview ka

Result kab aega

At least iss baar ek baat to pta chal gae

Sab insiders fake ha.
Even upsc guys have no idea ki result kab aega

@ChampakMaybe they didn't understand what quora is adequately. But these days it is very popular so there is a chance that they might know about it now.

@BulbulSenbhai aaj ye bhi pata chala ki asli insider to vo 1985 vaala IAS tha jisne apni answersheet hi badal di thi post exam !!
Ab to baaki sab insiders fake hain !

@zombielandTelegram wouldn't be good in my opinion. Bakar will not sound good and they may have a negative perception of telegram because of news.

@arcygenzydid you really think he was being serious?

@TeddyWestsidehaha right

@ChampakWould mentioning jogging/running in my hobby find favor with the panel.I do 5k run every alternate days and it is like a meditation. The reason i tagged you is from your interactions with other candidates and being a senior player ,did anyone mention the same in their DAF? Many advise against it since they say it is not a hobby
