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.

Thank you for writing this people. I have been unable to focus and I feel like giving up right now. I feel like I won't be able to clear and this thing just keeps cropping up everytime I start something. There is a feeling of guilt in me of not doing what's neccessary in these last days but then its brain. It is something which controls our every action and how much I try it's not happening.
But what we can do is try and I am trying! Its a constant battle between me and my emotions. I hope I win.
Its weird how same it is for all of us here, I too am feeling that I was studying with more intensity 2 weeks ago than I am doing now. Everything is scattered.I dont know why but this ignites in me an intense urge to listen to an indie song that doesnt exist. It goes like this: "Sab Bikhra Bikhra Pada Hai."
We must make one which goes like this one day 😂

I'm now waiting for Rashmirathi to post some poem with that exact title :p
Hey everyone hope you're all doing well and everything's on track for prelims. I just had a quick question - is there an app or trick or something which lets us copy all the highlighted text from a pdf in one go? TIA
P.S. - Sorry for barging in with an unrelated topic, it's just that this is the most active thread now :)
Hello fellow sailors (we must be, since we’re all in the same boat) it feels honestly so humbling to be around you guys who are open and vulnerable in an exam which makes it seem like “life is a race, and we must keep running” (they say distant echoes Viru Sahastrabuddhe were heard).
I’ve been feeling so frustrated as well, with how slow my studies seems to be progressing and how fast the hours seem to be vanishing. I feel the exact same way about September, its like the first love that we’ll never get back with, coz she got hotter and funnier over the summer (please tell me you can relate to that struggle). And the worst part is I keep comparing this time to last year in a despaired attempt to find some justification for this extreme slowing down (Bhagwan ne pichle saal saath nahi chhoda despite wasting XYZ hours, so is this year going to be any different etc etc)
What we can do, and we must do is to hunker down and stand our ground like the penguins that we are (I know my metaphors keep changing 🤷🏻♀️) or as a wise blue fish once said “Just keep swimming”
P.S i know this is all over the place, but ab kya karein raat ke 10 baje itna hi unseen composition hota hain.
It has happened too many times to even count , telling myself that from now till prelims , I'll study as much as I can and work really really hard . And then , after some time you get up from your study table, waste half an hour somewhere . Guilty feel hoga aur discourage bi hojate hai . That is such a shitty feeling .
Its so easy to make plans for the rest of days but its really about fighting hard each day . Making progress one day at a time .

That comparison with last year is so true . Kabhi encourage krta hai toh kabhi discourage

@sstarrr - hey don’t feel like this ( that you won’t be able to ) ,it’s not good ,have faith in yourself and you will do great
@sjerngal @Villanelle @Archand @LetsGetThisBread -We all are in the same boat
this is for you all ( By Dharmvir Bharti Ji)
ये शामें, सब की सब शामें...
जिनमें मैंने घबरा कर तुमको याद किया
जिनमें प्यासी सीपी-सा भटका विकल हिया
जाने किस आने वाले की प्रत्याशा में
ये शामें
क्या इनका कोई अर्थ नहीं?
वे लम्हे
वे सूनेपन के लम्हे
जब मैंने अपनी परछाई से बातें की
दुख से वे सारी वीणाएं फेकीं
जिनमें अब कोई भी स्वर न रहे
वे लम्हे
क्या इनका कोई अर्थ नहीं?
वे घड़ियां, वे बेहद भारी-भारी घड़ियां
जब मुझको फिर एहसास हुआ
अर्पित होने के अतिरिक्त कोई राह नहीं
जब मैंने झुककर फिर माथे से पंथ छुआ
फिर बीनी गत-पाग-नूपुर की मणियां
वे घड़ियां
क्या इनका कोई अर्थ नहीं?
ये घड़ियां, ये शामें, ये लमहें
जो मन पर कोहरे से जमे रहे
निर्मित होने के क्रम में
क्या इनका कोई अर्थ नहीं?
जाने क्यों कोई मुझसे कहता
मन में कुछ ऐसा भी रहता
जिसको छू लेने वाली हर पीड़ा
जीवन में फिर जाती व्यर्थ नहीं
अर्पित है पूजा के फूलों-सा जिसका मन
अनजाने दुख कर जाता उसका परिमार्जन
अपने से बाहर की व्यापक सच्चाई को
नत-मस्तक होकर वह कर लेता सहज ग्रहण
वे सब बन जाते पूजा गीतों की कड़ियां
यह पीड़ा, यह कुण्ठा, ये शामें, ये घड़ियां
इनमें से क्या है
जिनका कोई अर्थ नहीं!
कुछ भी तो व्यर्थ नहीं!
