What are your Post Mains Plans like? What do you plan to do till December?

@Chanakya 

I can totally relate to you. Coming from an engineering background, I'd be completing my MA in JNU this sem. All i can say is it would be a fun ride. Keep the end goal in mind, and absorb as much as you can. Good luck. :)

Met some old friends, listened to music/podcasts for hours, long video calls, watched some stuff, started some (non-syllabus) books. Went to my local park for morning runs. For three consecutive days. Then, sleep conquered. :/

Had joined LLM @ SAU; wrapped up projects etc. Read intro of few ES chapters. Hindu & factly. Read way too many (@Neyawn's) articles on interview, saw his obscure video, read a bit of transcripts-file. Joined CA 2021. Sent answers to Dipin sir yesterday. Almost cried. 

Procrastinated. A lot. 

Can't avoid the elephant anymore. Optional. NOW.<1st mains>


And ironically wasted some time on this:  Anuvaad | अनुवाद • A podcast on Anchor


Oh, the crying part is inevitable. Even if you are a boy  / man.

Theexamkinda makes you do this.

And as far as the obsure video is concerned, its obscure because you see you cant say those things on  Youtube :)

You see that it will make sense to the serious aspirants who invest their youth years in the exam, but wont make an iota of sense to someone who is not even in the process.

I met a candidate last week. 5th attempt guy. Had begged him to write down answers last year. ( At some point in my life, when I was more rebellious, I had some the same when someone begged me to take the last leg seriously ) 

And he did not. And shared his marksheet with me.



This is how pain looks like.

This can happen to any of us.

His fault ?

Why IAS?

( And several other things ).

The guy is hard working and very jujharu, and should make it, hopefully this year.


Sir, only 96 in personality test .. that.s an abnormally low score, right ? ..can you throw some light on what went wrong in the interview ?
