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.

@nerdfighter Apne to hamara fav. topic utha liya.
My recommendation - Ikiru (English Translation - "To Live") - Director Kurosawa. (agar nahi dekhi hai )
I am recommending it because I think every Civil Servant should watch this film. It is about a government clerk finding out he is suffering from terminal cancer. And then how he deals with it.
The great film critic Roger ebert said that this was one film that could actually change a man's life. Although not much has changed in my life, but I was overwhelmed with emotions by the end of it. One of my favourite.

Good morning gentle peepul,
Finally yahan baarish aa gayi, so it's a pleasant morning; hopefully the day should be gentle too!
Here's the plan :
1. PSIR : Politics of Representation and Participation ( 3 hours)
2. Essay/ I don't know I might sleep
3. Daily stuff
Yaaar what a lazy day! Ek toh yahan baarish hogyi aur phir mujhe saara din neend aati rahi! Insaan jaye toh jaye kahaan, hein?!
Khair! PSIR & Daily stuff done. Instead of writing an essay, read one! Then slept in the afternoon like a log! Where on earth did second half of the day go? Ye main dhundhta hee reh gaya. Calling it a day now. Ab main shayad phir se so jaun ! :p
Weekly Round Up
A very unproductive week. First two days wasted on Covishield. Next Two days in sadness and the rest in sub-optimal productivity. The only good thing was that I stayed on track. I did not go into a sadness spiral or I did not take the path of least resistance. Whatever time I studied, I did what I planned at the beginning of the week.
Next 6 days, I'll be alone at home. Historically, this has meant a period of low productivity & binge eating. But I intend to prove history wrong. Next Sunday & Monday are reserved for my cousin's wedding. So, will try to be as productive as I can. Help me God.
Today was a chill day. Not much done. Not even what I had planned. It is okay. I slept in the noon. And spend some time with my mother. It's okay. I'll try to cover that up in the next 6 days.
Next 6 days plan is simple. Do not touch anything other than the following:
- Ethics Classes & handouts
- Environment Booklets; Study & Ankify
- PSIR IIA Notes
- Anki Reviews
- Essay-I & II; lectures & handouts
On the side, I am listening to fear and loathing in new Jerusalem on the walks. One episode done, 5 more to go. Also began reading Yascha Mounk's 2018 book. 1 chapter done, everything else to be done.
--
I am going for a walk now & will listen to the podcast mentioned earlier.

At night, I intend to complete watching 'Well Done Abba' which has been@whatonly 's recommendation. Also, I would love to hear what are some of your favourite movies that you can recommend me to watch?@Villanelle @thesleepyhead @Rashmirathi @SergioRamos @DeekshitaP @ozymandias & @MaeveWiley & others active on this thread.
I'll try to watch one movie a week.
Meri maano toh pls sleep. So jao! If there's one evergreen gift to mankind by that divine force, its SLEEP. :p

True. I am in love with Sleep. Heideggar Sahab ne Arendt ji ke liye khat me ye baat kahi thi. I am just replacing the word love with sleep. xD
“Why is sleep rich beyond all other possible human experiences and a sweet burden to those seized in its grasp?
Lo ji! What better than this!

@Villanelle from where are u doing this politics of representation and participation topic? I don't think SR has this much content to take 3 hours.
Check out chapters 9 to 11 (4th edition) or 10 to 12 (5th edition) ofPolitics by Andrew Heywood (JustPolitics,notGlobal Politics). I haven’t had time to read properly yet but it does look promising after a first skimming.

You too sleep well ji! :p
whatonly,Completed all the targets for day ( But today no one came to library and I am all alone here but it taught me some lessons ) and enjoying posting here and to complete them and would like to thank you all for pushing each other as said by Sahir Ludhianvi ji -
साथी हाथ बढ़ाना, साथी हाथ बढ़ाना
एक अकेला थक जाएगा मिल कर बोझ उठाना
साथी हाथ बढ़ाना
हम मेहनतवालों ने जब भी मिलकर क़दम बढ़ाया
सागर ने रस्ता छोड़ा पर्वत ने शीश झुकाया
फ़ौलादी हैं सीने अपने फ़ौलादी हैं बाँहें
हम चाहें तो पैदा कर दें, चट्टानों में राहें,
साथी हाथ बढ़ाना
@nerdfighter bhai I recommend to you and all the lovely people here to watch “Karnan” ( just mind bobling or kti aakhar)
Also finished off “ The lowland “ ( I don’t hve words to describe it)
Now I have to close library

A chill Sunday !
Did PYQs of complex analysis only.
Isi ke saath complex analysis ki Samapti hui 😌
Also I have a doubt in one question, it would be great if any mathsie could help me to resolve.
Here in the steps where I marked red, what mistake have I committed? Why can’t I use |sinmz|<1 ? That limit (expression in box) should become 0 but I am getting pi instead :/

Sorry, not a cinephile at all! My friend has tried all the means to push me to watch movies 😂
I mean I can company people but can’t watch by myself 🤷🏻♀️

Kal raat maine Annabelle dekhi thi aur ab ye dekhne ke baad aagyi mujhe neend ab! :p
P.S. This comes from a person who was shit scared of Maths in school.

Heywood ki toh 3-4 jo bhi books hai sab more or less relevant hain for our syllabus. Itna untapped market hai idhar aur usko bhanak hi ni 😂

Try finding sin(i) using this. Its mod will be greater than 1. You should use e^(imz) in f(z) itself.
