Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@TETRACYCLINEhaan.. I've started with a CA & optiinal revision
Ek aur prob h, earlier near and dear ones did not use to bother me(thinking I would be studying), now everyone expects a 'Yes' as an answer

@DreadfulExactly. Same case happened with a friend of mine too. The extra effort in getting the answer booklet number in the attendance sheet is done to cover for these incidents.

@John_Titorwe where not the first one to interfere into domestic politics but democrats actively interfered in ours and on many cases there has been reports of pakistani lobyists and citizens tryn to influence them. We shouldn set the precident of letting forign representatives interfere on cases which are crucial for domestic intrests.
In case of malysia and influence of China they resisted criticizing china on uighur issue but called india as an occupying force here again if they dont respect our domestic sensitivities and intrests of india we shouldn cow down worrying about other factors and let every country bully us which will again show us on a negative light diplomaticaly. And in case of China and its increasing influence in south east asia, south china sea dispute and increasing cooperation bw india and vietnam indonasia philipines is a positive sign

@BehemothD is answer according to me

Bhai sabse zyaada problem to tab ho rahi hai jab relatives bolte hain "itne saalo se padh rahe ho, iss baar to ho hi jaega"

@Behemothsaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

Irrespective of age and number of attempts, we all wish to ace this examination and switch to a different phase of life. Result is around the corner. But some of us have a situation which is literally "is baar bahut kuch stake pe hai (many things are at stake) ". You want to brave the circumstances but still fear the consequences. Any of you deal with the same situation of "many things at stake"??

I have decided this to be my last attempt. I am not even looking at prelims/mains books as I'm not giving my attempt in 2020. If i sail through it would be great, else moving on with backup career. Tired after being in upsc cycle for 5+ years.

@K_9bhai mera alag scene h, ek do log ko lagta hai I am still in college, kuch ko boldia hai I am doing masters(actually enrolled in ignou), 2-4 log ko hi pata hai, but they expect quick results

@NadigVinay
Same here man i decided this is my last attempt dont have the energy or spirit to give more. Remaining unemployed and worrying about what the future holds is taking a toll

@Lazydreamer2019 was my third attempt and second well-prepared attempt. 2020 will be my last attempt and after mains 2020 (if qualify in prelims) will execute backup options of MBA or MS

@LazydreamerLet's hope we sneak in with this attempt

@zombieland
Thats good, not having a proper back up and completely commiting to this is always a big blunder which we shouldn risk

I had the same plan when it was my third attempt. Had thought of MBA if failed at uspc, but theUPSC NASHAdragged me to this point and now I feel I don't have the mental energy to do MBA at least the immediate year. May be I'll have to work for few months, recoup the energy n prepare for MBA

@Lazydreameryes bro. Even if I am doing MBA then it is almost impossible that I will get admission in any old IIM. But admission in new IIM can atleast help in starting a new phase in life. After a break of almost 4 years (I passed out in 2017) I cannot expect higher and must be prepared to face more rejections and survive struggle

@zombielandsaid in Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

how many attempts you have given (just name sake attempt and serious attempt)?

anyone who is feeling right now that his or her name will surely be in the list

@zombielandrejection dissapoinment and frustration is part of life bro but through this upsc journey we face such situations more than the average people of our age and it is extremely humbling and puts our ego in check. Hope you dont have to go for the back up option and gets thru this time bro

@TETRACYCLINEold monk jo andar gai hui hai saturday night ko vo yahi kah rh hai

EXCLUDING HIM IM TALKING ABOUT THIS LIST NOT FINAL ONE

@TETRACYCLINEThe two people who've expressed confidence in their selection seem to not be active today.
