@Omen I hope you are not offended. I didn’t mean to. We are just sharing ideas. I didn’t mean to put you off. Apologies if that was felt.

No sir. I get it, i think. Answering at that moment would be a totally different ball game than writing here. My answer probably reflected idealism to some extent. I have to be a little more pragmatic i feel. What are your thoughts on this sir ?

One thing i noticed is your use of 'sir'. I have read you mention it quiet a few times for interview prep. This too was a great learning.

Idealism is not bad as long as your body language , age and DAF supports it.  I will quote here that people who are idealist, you can see it in their face. 

There was one old user Mittali here, she was posted sometime in a tribal area and wasn’t complaining . When I meet her or speak to her, she is very enthusiastic about her work among tribals. So you know who is idealist in thoughts  Aldine VS in deeds too.

With experience or age you will come to realise that guys who write - serving the nation, will join IT sector if they don’t get Selected. They won’t usually sacrifice a good IT job for actually working in dusty rural areas with no electricity to serve the nation. There is nothing in their DAF or personality which supports what they say. That is when idealism doesn’t look good.

I recommend using Sir a bit more because some people who have a bit of American English end up nodding their heads, saying “Ya-Ya”or “right-right” even to the board. As if speaking to a colleague.

That is clearly a very bad manner when you have to work in an administrative job with hierarchy  . The habit of saying Sir kinda mellows down such things .

And for example I have quoted : asked the question that why does the hero get posted in that remote district in the movie Article 15?

Anyone knows the answer ?

He said “cool” to some Seccy or Jt. Seccy? Lol. I kept saying “right” “right” every time the board was explaining something. Must have looked so bad.

Oh yes, he said cool in the starting of the movie. It was a 'punishment posting'. 

And that was the Home Secy. We will be dealing with bureaucrats who enjoy a Constitutional Post.

@Neyawn Whether Addressing woman chairperson/member with "madam sir" could be penalized?( ye ORN ki kissa mey bhag tha)

@Neyawn Sir, I plan to give IFS as first preference and chose economics optional(its possible they could ask on international trade). Otherwise, I absolutely have no background in IR except while preparing for GS2. All I have is interest and curiosity. So do you suggest me to read books on theoretical IR part (usually what PSIR does) And also could you suggest what specifically I should prepare for IFS. Thank you in advance

Please help!!

@Neyawn Sir will there be any discussion group for interview based on say optional, graduation subject, current affairs. If it happens, then it would be helpful for
