@morsmodre I have graduated in Zoology Hons. Par aata mujhe bhi nahi kucch. Try reading 9th yaa 11th ki Biology portion of NCERT.It has everything.It may not land direct Prelims Q's,but the content surely helps in elimination.

@LetsGetThisBread Tumhari batein mere upar se jaa rahi.

@D503 Ldaai jagda chalta rehna chahiye. On a serious note, I see Ramayana as a decentralised historical text with multiple interpretations. The major point of contention is whether Uttara Kandh is a part of Ramayana or not since it has certain references where Bhagwan Ram comes across as an anomaly to his prior description.And, if I can recall correctly, even Ami Ganatra(new translator in the game) in a recent podcast cited this reference of Ghee and Dog!

Baaki,Vikas sir's reaction every alternating week-

Mujhe-kyun-toda-meme-template- Pop Culture, Entertainment ...

*I haven't read Rishi Valmiki,but have read Tulsidas and B.Debroy(B.Gita)


Unke class m toh apna sar ghar pe chhodke aana ka mann hota tha. So agar sar ke upar se jaa rahi h baatein toh accha h unke classes ka essence samajh gaye ho 😬😬

Jhooth naa bolo. There are rumor mills that you are the admin of Avadh Ojha fc and have taken over the reins of his PR team.

@Lawstice @DancingMaster Extreme sound ho rane ho chotto. Tone down.Lol!

@D503 Apne jaise bna rahe ho tum Dancing bhai ko!

@Rajneesh04 Quite helpful,Sir. Thank you!

Sorry but Bhavnao ka desh h yh!

Hi peeps, I am once again asking for your advice.😅


How do you guys go about doing science and tech, environment for mains? Is the prelims knowledge sufficient?

  1. The Hindu
  2. Vision IAS Mains 365
  3. YouTube, Note--Whatever S&T, Environment topic you are learning, always focus on the concept, why is it in news, practical applications, potential threats, benefits far into the future etc. Just do this and you will easily handle this topic in the final exam.

I am just sharing my thought based on experience for science and technology portion:

1. In recent times, do focus on reverse engineering of past year questions of prelims of 5-6 years. They will give you some idea and sometimes questions also. Remember, ELISA in 2017 and 2020 or Mitochondrial DNA threrapy in 2021 and Pronuclearase Transfer in 2020.

2. Another assessment is that they are focusing on landmark developments in the field of biotechnology, space etc. which have significant impact on humanity as a whole. So, google landmark developments in physics, biology, biotechnology, space etc. Remember, merger of giant blackholes question 2019.

3. Do watch explainer videos for these technology themes. It will save time and questions need application of knowledge which one can learn from these videos.

4. Then if you want you can refer to monthly magazines for basic knowledge.

5. Lastly, practice MCQs to get rid of "All of the Above" syndrome.


Bol Bachchan :)

@Rajneesh04 @mightyraju @DM  Thanks for the inputs. Doing something along the lines of some mains specific notes for key topics like Nanotech, Climate Change, IPR etc.


On a different note an IAS got removed from his post for flaunting his election observer status on Insta.... Good!

That is a good approach yaar!

@Lawstice Tabhi extreme ho. H laboratory ke product ho.Lol.Btw Gujjus are the best.Vaise if Gujjus are seeking naukri,then who will give people employment!

@sstarrr It feels abysmal when comrade@D503 fails to prefix my name.

Baaki,I find it hard when I have to make assignments on MS Word. After an hour or so,I start to feel pukish due to my intolerance for screen!

:ghost: Hello Everyone!

Life update + Story Time 

You know how 'people say' that nice things happen, when you are least expecting them, or something like that.

So, nice things have happened! 🍋🌶

I got through JRF, I had not expected of course, given the circumstances I wrote the paper in...

Despite filling the form the day it was out, my centre was about 600KMS away & admit cards came out 48 hrs before the paper.

No prior city intimation or anything. I had almost given up on writing the paper, but somehow traveled last minute, to a city I had never been in, w/o any stay plan, you can imagine the state of revision and stress.

Train mein I applied for another job interview, got a callback and in a week I had a job, it was strange, really!

Because for the last one year, I had thought kaun hi hire karega, kya hi skillset hai mere pass, I even thought ki kisine apply nahi kiya hoga isiliye hire kiya mujhe!:ghost: 

(Job applications were becoz of constant looking at me with hope & pity at home, and me looking back at them with guilt)

Anyways, fast forward to JRF result day, wasn't really expecting to get through until a friend of mine was like, dekh toh leti yaar!

So, I checked and I though NTA had uploaded the wrong results 😂 so I re downloaded and mera hi result tha😂 

lekin phir log poochne lage ki PhD kab join karogi😅

Today, I have many things I wished for an year ago, but I want more, perhaps that's what life is, you keep moving, you keep working & things start looking like they are falling in place.

In reality, they are never falling in place, there's always something more, something better, something greater. 

These things have also sent me off track a little. But, day by day, inch by inch, I'll get back on track. I have moved cities and would prolly move again in a few months. But, I'll keep putting in effort everyday and see what comes next🤘

Until then 

Fingers crossed & prep mode on!🙋
