CSE 2021: Plan / Strategy / Daily Routine

Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.

This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021. 

No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.

I am almost afraid to poke this nest but what does Malayalam have to do with anything? TINA is a PSIR term for "there is no alternative".

If everyone's talking about malayali, can be just talk a bit about their food. Not want to disturb the momentum of thread but all the malayali's out there on this platform@LetsGetThisBread and patootie, I love the food from your part of world. I can't tell how much, but if I have to describe , I would say I have reached to a point where I want to marry ONLY a malayali guy!

My tryst with kerala cuisine started with sadhya from times of onam. I fell absolutely in love with that. And now, I have made my north indian kitchen into a south indian kitchen, with my mother being forced to cook all the recipes I see online. 

I just love your food andddd the smell of your houses which is extremely different(visited a friend's house, I don't know what was that but kya khusbhu thi) . I wish kerala hi cadre mile. 

A big big time foodie signing off!

Wow! That's the first time I'm seeing a non- Malayali acknowledge Kerala food. Usually people just club all of South India together. Thank you for distinguishing!!

If you are in Delhi, there are Malayali restaurants in almost every part of the city. You can have your heart's fill here.

As for food, Onam Sadhya (special meal at Onam) is a different level. For people not aware, a small-sized sadhya contains rice and 20+ side dishes (all vegetarian). Some of the famous ones (like at Christ University Bangalore) have 200+ dishes. IN ONE MEAL! That always blows my mind!

My favourite dish though is Malabar Porotta. It's like paratha but not quite a paratha. You can have it with any curry (veg korma, sambhar or usually a non-vegetarian dish). As I sit typing this, my mind is drooling :P

I'm pretty sure my dreams are gonna be about food now. Or a nightmare of a giant Porotta monster attacking me :P

Are you from Kerala? I don't live in delhi, but I live in South, 200 km from kerala. SO would visit the heaven itself for food. 

Mine is aviyal anytime!

@Infinitybeyondinfinity i used Story of Civilisation (old NCERTs by Arjun Dev). There are two volumes. Not all chapters are useful and it's kind of long. But if you can spare the time I think it'll be a nice source. 

@LetsGetThisBread TINA indeed! You are firmly associated with bread in my head. today I overheard the words "get bread" and instantly thought of you! :D 

Good night people. Hope everyone gets some beauty sleeps!

That is part of the end game….. to invade everyone’s consciousness

I live for Kerala food. Despite having grown up outside Kerala my entire life, the Malayali in me has grown up eating Kerala food every single day. I now get very depressed if I don’t get “chor and kootaan” (rice and curry) at least once a day. It doesn’t help that my mother is an excellent cook either, her skills constantly awe me.

Coconut is a very elusive description, given that our very blood is made out of coconut oil. :)
