Vacay ki last night chal rahy thy. 

Forum open karke, mains 24 ka thread open kar lia.

Peak doubts on exam+ coaching. 

Clown scenes only.

Ganeshgaitonde breathes fire every time he makes a cameo. Apna Stan lee hai voh.

Maybe I'll compare my answers w that of Sharma and Kishore? Maybe after pre? Cause abhi time nahi hai tbh.

I have been wanting to say this. Like Mera dissent note samaj lo yeh? Ayush sir, has good takes. I have learnt a lot from him.  A lot. But 'kabhi kabhi' some of his takes are not so good. We all need introspection I guess? No one is perfect after all, right?~end

Also, if I clear capf ka pet, I'm thinking of skipping yeh saal ka pre. Is it a good idea? Parents toh naa bol rahe hai. They don't want to me skip pre, plus they don't want me to join defences(cds nikla hai)

And tbh, I don't wanna disappoint my parents.


Uffff enough of oversharin? Bas sahi salamat Ghar pohoch jau ek baaar. Kahi cops kal subha pakad na le💀 Fir I'll start acin. Sab karenge.


Also I'll focus on my body now. 

I'll live my life achese! I'll make cse a part of my life. Lagne do time, no worries.

~ pre failure ke baad zindagi has changed drastically.

I'm growing. And it feels good. Life doesn't feel stagnant anymore.

On a side note, forum needs  GenZ energyy🦍💀

Going for bagham daudi now, Upon returning I'll start AnC and Medieval India.

I have never kept a New Years resolution, but this year there's this  positivity within me which is driving me to list down few goals. 
1. Having a good physique and being in a body that I'm comfortable in. 
2. Organising my room be it Ghar ka ya hostel ka.
3. Getting better in pressure and time management.

I'm sure I'll evolve at a good speed next year as well. Mera GDP constant nahi rahega but will have an upward trend xD.
Will post my targets either on SM or on  Forum.  
All the best everyone! Hope you remain consistent with SFG.

I really hope Rashmirathi, tomiokgiyu and Siddarth Krishna find their name in the holy list next year.

At the behest of the Almighty! Though we are trying our level best to change the course of it. How about you? How was your interview? How could you not know that Mirza Asadullah Beg Khan was the court poet of 'Zafar', who eventually awarded him with various  titles such as 'Dabir-ul-Mulk', 'Najm-ud-daula', 'Mirza Nosha'!


क्या सबब तू जो बिगड़ता है 'ज़फ़र' से हर बार

ख़ू तिरी हूर-शमाइल कभी ऐसी तो न थी..


See you back at the SFG, comrade! Best wishes!



“At the end of the day, the only thing that you truly can control is where you place your attention and where you place your effort” and if you are placing both of them in right direction you are on right track , you only just need patience and endurance to win this race , don’t give up till the last .

I am also doing good just taking some rest and also i knew about Ibrahim zauk he was the teacher and court poet of Bhadur shah zafar and Ghalib and zauk were contemporary, also there rivalry was very famous .Although at last Ghalib overpowered zauk but both were outstanding in there own way

Zauk 

'ज़ौक़' जो मदरसे के बिगड़े हुए हैं मुल्ला 

उनको मय-ख़ाने में ले आओ सँवर जाएँगे

Mimicking and re phrasing certain famous lines gives us pleasure. The act of twisting wisdom to suit our situation helps us find joy in meek, stressful and mundane situations.

Transparency is key to Good Governance, they say. Consistency is key to Good Rank is what I tell myself sarcastically, when I’m in a good mood after a cup of coffee. But hey am I consistent? 


This year  I’m having issues with being consistent. Numerous external reasons( read laziness) have led to me being inconsistent this month.  And this year I even made a daring task to have New Year’s resolution. The amount of efforts I’m taking to fulfil  my resolutions, I’m pretty sure I’ll do it by 2026.  Plans and timelines  change right? Yes, they do. Just as my plan of being consistent changed, My plan of being  inconsistent  unintentionally also changed xD. All thanks  to CSIR.

My exam is gonna be on Valentine’s Day🥰 I have roughly 16 days. This  16 days are an opportunity to get back on track, to have a good Dincharya . And  let me tell you Day  1’s Dincharya was amazing, productive and chill. What did I do you ask?

Well I woke up at 5:55am thinking about chess and @ 6 my Dad finally woke me up calling me to get ready for our local little cozy trek that literally takes our breath away.  At 7:10  we enjoyed the Sunrise while we were gasping for breath. Well the view was mesmerising but I’m pretty sure we were short of our breath not because of the view or pollution but because of our exertion and low stamina xD.  On the contrary trekking down was funn,ummm going down is always fun ( wink wink). So ya, by 8 I was full of energy my juices were fine and by 9 am  I  reached my library.


Bas for  kya ? 9-9 padha. 9:05 pm likhna chalu kia ye post, took me 10 mins to write this and now I’m excited for tomorrow. Will I  update this tomorrow?


NOPE , bas nazar lagane ke liye post likh raha hu mai so that I get an external reason for being inconsistent xD

Jokes Aside. 13th Feb tak my routine will be this only, 6-8 trek, 9-9 padhai with overall 2 hours of break, 40 mins for lunch and Baki ka bich bichme.


Consistency is a virtue of an arse. 

And guess who loves doing donkey work everyday?🥰🥰

Update: 14.09.24 

Scored quite above average in Maths. Made really silly mistakes in formulas and lost almost 20 marks in both the papers. Lack of formula revision is the culprit. 

Reasonably confident in Essay, Opt and GS4. 

What I improved this year? 

  • Studied with absolute discipline with an average of 12 hrs+
  • My mock status: Essay- 4, GS1-2, GS2- 2, GS3- 2, GS4- 3, Opt- 4.
  • I think I could have given more mocks for Opt but I tried my level best to balance between GS and Maths. 
  • Solved PYQs diligently. 
  • Improved my sleep schedule 
  • Did mock analysis and strategized per paper. 

Certain shortcomings (with honesty): 

  • I wasn't mains ready before Abhyaas. It was one of my targets but I couldn't as I was preoccupied with Maths opt. 
  • I couldn't give simulators this time around because I had to remedy my mistakes I had identified in Abhyaas and ofcourse, the revision part. 
  • Couldn't do modern algebra everyday as planned. 

With just 6 days left for Mains, if my future self looks back to this day and wonders if I did my best during prep. My reply is "Yes, I did". I have pulled off 15 hrs study sessions as well. Finished 3 answer writing notebooks for GS and finished almost 4 large notebooks for Maths. Analysed PYQs and mocks diligently for GS and Opt. 

So today when I look back to the broken person in Jan 2024, I can't believe I got through that phase. The question of hoga-nahi-hoga is something I will leave to the future because I am happy I could make it this far. Picking myself up after Mains 2023 rejection was not easy but still somehow I pushed through all of this one day at a time. At this stage, my fear of rejection is gone. [This is my 7th year of prep (I started at 19 by self-prep) so the thought of "what if I get selected" and external validation of someone telling me that I will get selected is long gone]. 

So my final message to people attempting Mains 2024 and my future self is "Itne durr tak aa gaye ho toh aage bhi hojayega.. bass ladte rehena hai". All the best. 

‘राह पकड़ तू एक चला चल,
पा जाएगा मधुशाला’

“External validation of someone telling me that I will get selected is long gone  “ reminded me of these lines by Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar ji


शून्य और दीवार, दोनों एक हैं

आकार और निराकार, दोनों एक हैं,

जिस दिन खोज शांत होगी,

तुम आप-से-आप यह जानोगे,

कि खोज पाने की नहीं,

खोने की थी।

यानी तुम सचमुच में जो हो

वही होने की थी।


Best of luck 🤞🏻 



Kya kalakar ho yar tum!!<3
