Feeling little disappointed with GS performance.
Essay - wrote HAPPINESS + IDEAS
Gs1(left twister question)
Gs2(i did pretty well)
GS3(Tree four 15 markers-- quality was very bad)
Gs4(theory did wel.And completely left out 1 case study.)
Slogging now for ANTHRO.
best wishes for optional  to everyone 
Even if there is 1% chance, sometimes that chance is good enough 100--KOHLI

Anthro paper 1 - was on expected lines and  straight forward.directly asked from topics mentioned in syllabus.
Paper 2- it was little random. Especially the 10 markers . One of the question even asked to write an ESSAY on life story of BIRSA MUNDA( this was a surprise).
Also,one question was on AI,ETHICS.
So,it was more of application oriented questions and we cannot simply cut copy paste our content like in paper 1.

To conclude, paper 1 was on the lines of GS Standard but paper 2 was difficult
