FMS,KMS. I can't even write an essay. Last year I got up while writing an essay and viola history repeats itself now. Was trying to write essay on 'History is a series of victories won by the scientific man over the romantic man' and while I had good ideas, I'm not able to organise them. I really need to organise my thoughts. Creation of flow is  of paramount importance for me. Giving up writing an essay, is not a good sign.

What should I focus on? Create a strong rough draft, Even if it takes 45mins to make one do it. Otherwise you'll again give up while writing. And mate you need to practise a lot. A lot.

So Just finished writing 4 sociology answers. I didn't revise the topic before writing these questions but I was able to write optimum answers with a lil bit time issue. However, writing these answers made me realise that I work on spontaneity. Points flow into my mind organically when I start writing. First I write one point and during that writing point few other points flow organically. 


Maybe it's because I don't have strong imaginary / mental ability ? Or maybe because I have internalised the content and therefore I don't have to think and brainstorm ? Whatever be the case the issue is I try this same approach ( of going with the flow) for writing essays and this is where I mess up.  Half way through the essay I realise I could have added another dimensions, or the flow could have been better the other way around.


Adding to the above issue, answers have a pre-defined format. No matter what the question is they'llgenerally  ask advantages and  disadvantages or maybe at times applications and comparisons. Essay is way more than this constrained set of ideas. 


Chalo koi nahi, I have nowhere to go than up. Lagne do time, ajj nahi toh kal hojaega. We don't have to stop. Kal wapis karenge ya fir class hi laga lenge Lekin won't crib down and stop believing in myself.

Hello everyone. 

I’ll be posting targets from today onwards. 

  1. Backlogs of CA classes (1/3)
  2. Planning and organising my study table
  3. Journaling and reflecting on the last month.

 This month reminds me of the movie “October Sky”

Significance of October sky: There are no clouds. Clear sky. No strong winds. A favourable condition for launching the rockets.

Metaphorical meaning: Reaching for the stars.

 For further symbolisms in the movie:

I'll join. I joined last year too, it does help maintaining consistency. Only thing which was lacking last year was lack of competition & communication amongst students, hope it improves this time.

Double time issue

Hi everyone currently I am writing mains test in exam like condition but I have faced double time issue like 

10 Question 15 marker = 1.5 hours but I completed all in 3hrs

Similarly full length 3 hrs but it takes around 6 hrs. To complete the test.. 

Doubt.. 

1.Is it manageable with continuous writing that I can complete in time. 

2. What should I focus now good quality content or time.. 

@Neyawn sir plz Enlighten me.. 

Friends aap log bhi kuchh bta do.. ✨✒️

In similar situation but not worried about that for now. I wrote full length tests last year n was able to write satisfactorily in given time. IMO for  now focus on content, baki padhe likhe log margdarshan kare!

Thank dost I will try to work on content.. 

I realized if content is ready then time will slowly reduce.. With further consolidations.

One must figure out the reason for crossing  time limit.

Have they not internalised their quality content? Or do they take time to understand the demand of the question? Or do they face problem in creating fast mental framework of answers? Or they genuinely have slow writing speed? Maybe they are facing a burnout? 


Each problem has it's own solution.  Multiple revisions, numbering different subparts of the question, having an already prepared mental framework helps and so does practising answers in a timed manner. For burn out, maybe take a break.


Thanks dost this questioner is very helpful for me. I found the issue like

1.slow recalling of points 

2.slower mental structure 

3. Slowest hand writing

This this I have to address now..
