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.

Wasted 2 plus hrs yest on listening old songs after 11..could hv been avoided.. That time felt nice.. Now feeling guilty of waking up late..( reason - with whom was supposed to get married from past 2 yrs - arranged marriage-found out that she is getting married -it was arrange.. So no love etc after side effects.. But as chats and meetings was from past 2 yrs.. So got close atleast from my side.. Farewell song😁😁 from me to her -from movie Dil to pagal hai..

Hindi-1 video lecture
People say hard work need efforts.. But it seems consistency need more efforts..its good to have friends..but when friends become distraction from goal.. Its better to keep journey alone.. Ghosting as one may call it.. Then there r days when one may miss being with friends..especially those who r not preparing for upsc.. Most of them r married... Have kids etc.. And here we r still struggling to settle down..
Will the path we chose will be having a happy ending or not.. What we can just do is as sergieramos tells is should be one with self-improvement wrt studies..as at the end of day its all about whether we gave our best.. Did we tried out best for self-improvement..
Aim high and shoot for the stars.. Even if we miss stars.. We will land on moon.. On moon topic - does anyone remember days when people in India were buying land on moon.. And from Bollywood celebrities to common man; many have bought land on moon.. Then as upsc aspirant.. One recalls outer space treaty 1967..😂
Also will try to write more on notebook than reading alone
Tum aage badho..hum tumare sath hai

BD,
Corona is wreaking havoc.
Lockdown prep and anxiety regarding family was a major disturbance since last 2 days.
Still clocking in 5-6 hours per day.
Need to continue posting here.
This is nothing to with the study routine. I am sharing my 'real routine', with brute honesty. I am just putting out my share of experience for last two days.
My uncle (mama ji in early 50's), who lives in same city of mine, was diagnosed with severe covid. His sons (my cousins), frantically contacted me and told me about the medical history. With co morbidity- BP, Diabetes etc, his condition was bad. Being in the city worst affected by pandemic in India, things were more challenging.
We started our hunt for hospital beds. There is, right nowACCUTE SHORTAGE OF BEDS IN MUMBAI.We were looking for any bed, at any place, at any hospital, at any cost. BMC (city's municipality) has taken over the hospitals. And without BMC's green signal, one cannot shift to a COVID dedicated hospital- be it private, be it sarkaari.
Meanwhile, his health was deteriorating. His oxygen level was dropping. We somehow, awaiting green signal from BMC admitted to a makeshift arrangement at a local pvt maternity hospital. This do not have any covid doctor, and is on a limited oxygen supply. Our wait for a green signal continued.
Then, at the middle of the night at this makeshift temporary hospital, his oxygen consumption suddenly shot up. Doctors advised us for Remdesivir- which, you all must be knowing is the scarce asset. Nowhere, I repeat, Nowhere this was available. In addition to this, there is this injection (tocilizemag 400) which 'officially' costs around 40k, and is given as the 'last resort'. Paisa, jack, rasookh, kuch bhi lagane se nahi mil raha hai ye sab market mei. Remdesivir was must. Tocil was for worst. I arranged former jaise taise, but we are still to find the later.
Right now, he has shifted to a yet another makeshift hospital (which has promised oxygen for two days sharp), as the BMC is yet to confirm our bed. Friends, this shit is real. Until now, I used to read those death numbers in papers as just a data. Lekin jub ghar mei aapda aati hai, tab aatey daal ka bhaav pata chalta hai. (One steps into the real world and struggle, only when one's own near and dear ones are involved).
Sorry. I did not wanted to sound alarmist. But, the ordeal made me to write this. With 50% lungs collapsed, on oxygen support, with co morbidity, the chest pain, my uncle is struggling for his life (hoping for best). PLS dollow the simple rules of wearing mask, avoiding markets (use online), WEAR FACE SHEILD, and Gloves, if outer exposure unavoidable. Take health insurgence (as govt is not going to treat you well when needed).
Take two deep breaths (take)- that is a luxury.
If you are having two meals per day amid this pandemic- that is a privilege.
If you have absolutely no medical issue- bhagwan na karey aapko kuch ho.
If you are living with your family, and no one is suffering medically- nazar na lagey aapkey parivaar ko.
If you are able to follow your study routine (bhaley hi 4 ghantey ke liye, that doesn't matter, everyone knows it's consistancy which matters)- we really are blessed.
An anxiety free youth is the biggest asset we have. Kal ka kya pata....
What you said is 100% real. Hearing all this first hand as relatives are struggling. And family members trying to do what ever they can. I couldnt concentrate when my brother in another room kept pleading with someone for Remdesiver, oxyegn bed.
Everyone, take care. It's luxury to be sitting in a room and studying.

Today's target
Optional - 5.5 hrs
AWP - 2 hrs
CA - 2 hrs
Notes & Revision - 1.5
Ahh the joy or dilemma of waking up early.. With new targets to achieve.. With all the uncertainty due to covid; the fear of charting the uncertain territory ; where no fixed definite path is there..
6.00 - 7.40 - science..
8.10- 9-newspaper
9.15-11.15 - optional
11.30-1.30-optional
2-3.30-sleep
4-7- science
7.40-9.-hindi
Also need to go to market as weekend lockdown in Delhi now.. Our beloved Cm.. When he says lockdown not needed.. 2 days later night curfew comes.. When he says delhi not need lockdown unless health system collapses.. Again 2 days later lockdown over weekend comes..
And here i was planning to restart gym-which I left after mains result ( just went from Feb and March 2021).. Atleast saved on gym charges by not joining 2-3 days back.. In Delhi.. One hardly sees any mask atleast in the area where I live.. Social distancing is nowhere adhered with ; in the weekly vegetable market.. Or near by areas.. Children comes by 6 am to play cricket in Park opposite my place.. And again gather at 5.30 pm..Even a nearby religious place has started hanging big banners over their plans of gathering planned for 25th April.. As one of their baba / guruji will come for delivering sermons..
And then there are my fellow aspirants like trivandrumrajdhani struggling with covid among their family members..whom we wish luck from our sincere thoughts.. And just hope that they and their family members ride this tide successfully..
Ohh this covid..the lovely covid.. And then I see the number of covid cases in China.. May be currently the safest place against the covid..
Its not covid which brings fears.. Its the uncertainty.. Of when what and how much.. When it might hit us or our family members.. What will be its impact on our jobs; our parents businesses; and how much time will it take for us to be normal to this new normal again..
The normal of virtual classes.. The normal of being living alone with limited face to face interactions; the normal of writing tests from home.. The new normal of being able to recognise people from their eyes alone ( masks on)..
Completed revision part of studies yday.
Got the news of passing away of the relative. Pained. Numbed. Since he was admitted at district place, his son and 2 others cremated him there. No one else could go.
Trying to get back to studies now.
