Yes rightly...that was directed against the government...but since you have become IAS babu you shall shadowly criticise

No I didn’t. It’s corrected by professors so I mentioned the context

All I'm thinking about right now is the fact that I need to lose weight. :(

But guys, it's been an exhausting couple of weeks. We all deserve a break. Start worrying about your essay performance after a couple of days. I'm putting my anxiety on hold for now.


Machine Gun agrees .  Machine put on 4 kgs in last 3 months.

I read a study where it says that the number of calories burnt on a thread mill is less than just jogging outside given same speed and duration of time. I dont like doing cardio in a gym. Gym only for muscle toning.

Do machines also have calorie issue?

 I have a doubt .. in one the question regarding urban land reclamation I gave example of JNU.... I did not mention that I belong to this place ... but I wrote jnu temp is below3-4 degree less than average Delhi temp...is it revealing my identity? Or will I be penalized?

for all i know you are from Sikkim who talked to a friend from JNU or watched some youtube video.

Suspense horror - The wailing/Orphan/The babadook

watched everything including series except The Ring, Oiuja, 404 and Babadook. 13B is a tamil movie which I watched in Telugu.

@chamomile same here. Looking at paper and trying to recall again and again. I remember what I wrote in last year's mains though. 
Preparation was better this time. But due to fever, wrote exams with subconscious mind. Can't recall what all have i written. (Completed all papers except GS3 though). 

Trying to avoid coming here and commenting for the fear of making it a RR thread. 


I honestly moved on. I forgot what I wrote during those 5 days b/w optional and GS. lol

D503said

prshant kishor said that bjp has a 3 layer structure which cant be broken which includes nationalism and hindutva and one more

and in this leadership is simple too strong. 

bjp is a ruthless party in my opinion

cangress kya karegi ab

Pesa pesa. Isko kese bhool gye. Bjp spent around 30k crore during 2019 elections. Itna pesa kisi ke paas nhi. Kha se aata hai pesa ye isse pta karlo ki first step after coming to power was corporate tax rate cuts. Corporate benefits from wholesale privatisation and monopolies, and poor gets the illusion of welfare through monetisation of benefits which puts money in hand and which is more effective psychologically in influencing voter choice as a direct correlation can be made between benevolent Prime minister and beneficiaries, compared to mnrega, rte , mid-day meals etc

Prashant kishore has 1 formula that cannot be defeated, astroturfing.

We need new intellectuals because older ones had bhakt and socioeconomic as their Pulitzer prize winning arguments.

They deny Hindu genocide and muslim hatred towards Hinduism. They are pissed at an openly Hindu PM. They are pissed because Modi is a vegetarian and celebrates Yoga and Hindu culture.

For them a religion that tortures animals, treat women like shit,  has never coexisted with any other religion and says kill and fight over 150 times is peaceful and Hindus are terrorists.

We really do need new intellectuals because the retards also argue against performance based promotions in government services. Government is the biggest employer so it's plain common sense that its employees should be giving their full to the country but that's not happening unless their promotions are linked to performance.

There are a million problems with Indian retarded Intellectuals but it will be a long essay.

people are pissed cuz they dont have power.

In the end nd it's not about how much you gave it all for all your attempts but was it really worth it?

Well thats a good way to put it . Motivating too. We believe its worth  and proceed.but this is an important question which we have  to ask ourselves and be honest to ourselves about it.

All I want to say to those who couldnt qualify mains  is to relax. Its my 2nd attempt and first mains with PSIR. Look guys, people are planning to  go to MARS! I am not trying to belittle our efforts, I am just saying look at the bigger picture. Bring in some perspective. Just relax and keep going! Not the end of the world.

@MachineGunJoe yr dil tut gya h 😭 kaise kre ? Itna dukh to break up k baad bhi ni hua tha .. 


like i said.....This isnt a big deal. We are just making a big deal out of it. Its small when compared to the vision which policy makers have or Elon Musk has.  Its big for us in our lives. So just take it lightly in the sense that dont get hurt and try to do better.  It matters to us but also have some perspective about how easy it looks compared to those. Also I agree with someone whose fiance said its not worth to focus only on this. I think we fell into discourse that this exam needs complete dedication. I think it can be cracked with those who want to start spending time on other stuff like coding, teaching, academics or some other work!

@MachineGunJoe after a while one can definitely pursue it with other things. It is in the beginning that people require complete focus but in my opinion once a person is throughly and honestly done with the basic books and are in loop, then they can continue it with other things as well. 


I agree. just saying like an example. I am saying we should have an open mind, keep our eyes and years open, what to believe and what not to. Went to worry and when not to. And whether its really worth feeling tensed.
