How was your paper? How did you approach the paper?
True that. Reminded me of this memeUPSC CSE akela ek aisa Exam hai jiske khatam hone par naa insaan khush ho paata hai aur naa hi dukhi rather kuch feel karne layak hi nahi bachta...NUMB ho jaata hai insaan like literally (Dahina haath kaam naa karr raha kayde se aaj) and symbolically bhi....baaki jitna bhi kahlo ki 15 days exam ka nahi sochenge lekin yeh sab bas kahne sunne mein accha lagta hai, practical nahi hai...
Main toh kehta hoon wo meme waala game phir se shuru karo plz. Thoda light feel hoga.
Mains over and less than 5 months left for the next prelims. Waah re life! :/Manhoos batein karte ho XD
Ab to aadat si hai mujhko, aise jeene ki! *cries in UPSC* :D

Mains over and less than 5 months left for the next prelims. Waah re life! :/Prelims or not, I will take at least 15 days off. Haven't taken any time off for the past 2.5 years, barring medical emergencies. Both physical and mental health have taken a decent toll. This can't go on like this. :/
I agree with you. For the past three years, I have been stuck in the cycle without getting any time for other exams let alone for my own self. I don't feel like continuing at this point. Let me know how do you plan to refresh yourself.
Yr anybody giving ya has given nabard interview before?
kese prepare kiya?
mains k bad ek interview experience mil rha hai sahi wala...
@AzadHindFauzGood to hear from you after so many days. Hope you are fine and had a good mains. :)
Thanks. Will be regular now :)
Places to visit mein - obvious ones I'll skip (Humayun's tomb, hauz khas fort, exploring old Delhi, etc) Slightly less obvious ones that are all near metro stations:
- Feroze Shah Kotla (the ruin not the stadium) and khooni Darwaza
- Bijay mandal/begumpuri masjid/lal gumbad/chor minar
- Mehrauli Archaeological park
- Coronation park (though it's quite decrepit rn but still)
- Bara Lao Gumbad
- Sanjay van forest/jahanpanah forest
- National museum/NGMA/Triveni kala sangam
There's a guidebook by Lucy Peck on Delhi that is great for lesser known places/hidden gems. You can combine that with any of the good books written on Delhi to get the cultural mix with it also.
