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.

@sjerngal @Rashmirathi can you both please share if you make any pointers out of them? xD
I read sapiens till 50-60pages 3 years back, even that small portion had really good fodder points.
Sure.... I had made some pointers from homo deus last year.. I'll see if I can find them.. Will try to share them by evening if I find them.
Since past few months, I was relying on brownie or pastries to satisfy my sugar cravings, while forgetting all time great Indian sweets particularly Rasgullas and I was reminded of this sweet only when I was reading about GI tag controversy. So immediately after Prelims, had ordered Gulab Jamun, Rasgulla and Rasmalai from a local sweet shop. And wow, did it feel so heavenly. And once this gets over, I plan to buy Mysore Pak for Diwali. A small weight to pay :)
Wow. This reminds me of so many things. How in College quizzing I loved the questions about Mysore Pak being an accidental invention. How my crush once conducted a cute experiment and stuffed rasmalai syrup in paani puri ki puri in school. How I should maybe go to Delhi for at least eating Paan flavoured kulfi. How during 12th class, i ate choco truffles from mobile bakeries but got tired of these fancy sweets even as they sold like 'hot cakes' in college cafes. Also, where do you plan to get authentic mysore pak from ?
This kind of anarchy of putting rasmalai syrup in paanipuri is only acceptable if its your crush. Feel feel me toh aadmi kuch bhi khaa leta hai. XD

Did not have to eat it, fortunately (or, unfortunately). Had to pretend to be uninterested and busy.School days.xD
So didn’t do anything ,went for multiple checkups ( like eyes ,ear ,blood ) and find out various deficiencies and from now onwards also has to wear spectacles and i think this is the arrival of new phase in life from super fit to facing various deficiencies ( never imagined I will be wearing spectacles)
So friends also keep a check on your health

Celeborn,sjerngalGood morning guys. After a pathetic week, I am back, hoping to finish the targets for today to the best of my ability.
Targets for 18/10/21
- Anthro-final revision topic 4 paper 2
- World history (2/3)
- Current affairs of may 2021
- Only target 1 completed to the best of my ability.
- Half hearted, not because of lack of dedication but because anthro sucked up entire day.
- Not done.
I never thought I would say this, but I have realized now that I will have to study for more than 10-11 hours every damn day till 7th January, if I want to clear mains.
I had made such a fool proof strategy. Turn out it was not fool proof at all.. So many backlogs already within a few days..
So many subjects that I have to read for the first time.. I am so ill-prepared for mains 2021.
Only a miracle can help me.. I just hope at the end of these 80 days I have some sanity left in me..
Do we have a GS 2 mains thread as well?
We had this last year

If you want you can make another one for this year.
Rashmirathi,THE_MECHANICDidn't complete my targets. Whatever I did, the majority was done before lunch. I just didn't have the strength to do much post lunch. I thought by taking a small break I'll feel better. I don't, up till now. I now hope that tomorrow I'll wake up feeling refreshed and energised.
Targets for tomorrow:
World History
Modern Algebra (normal subgroups to ideals)
Newspaper
CA class

Can anyone please review Dipin sir's CA classes? Anyone please help!
+ves ->1) The content is really good. You get quality value addition points 2) You learn a lot about answer writing especially how to structure your answers. 3) The coverage is good. I joined after Mains last year. Before joining I compared last year's papers with the class notes. A good number of questions could be attempted from the handouts
-ves 1) It can get overwhelming. Each class has a lot of content. Plus if you join now, there will be 30+ classes uploaded on the portal that have already been conducted. You'll have to cover them along with the ongoing live classes (approx 2-3 per week). 2) The classes do get a bit monotonous,especially when there is no audience for interaction. It's difficult to complete a class in one go. I usually watch at 2x speed in two shifts minimum. With offline classes resuming, things will be a bit better though.
If you don't have any financial constraints, you can go ahead and join them. If things get too overwhelming, you can just skip the classes and directly study from the handouts. Even that will be useful in itself.
