Kaafi happening thread hai yeh toh. Forum par bahut dino baad aayi and tbh missed this place a lot.
Now that mains is over and I know where I lack, I need to start again for the same. Similarly I am also trying to focus on RBI Grade B as well, I wasn't able to clear but I did score theek thak marks and with good efforts aur acha kar leti shayad. So now for the next three months focus would be optional, aptitude for other exams and some other stuff where I lack.
Baaki, I am so happy to see this thread. Forum has given me many friends and I am so happy to see that happening again here :)
Targets - Newspaper and Rest. Tabiyat down hai thodi. Plus aage ke plan.

Ayeee! really hope you are satisfied with your performance. It was really thrilling to see your posts at the day of prelims this year(': All best buddy. Good to see you, keep posting.
Haha Yes Yes, I do remember that day. From prelims exam, to prelims result that whole phase was quite thrilling and tbh I never ever want to be in that situation again.
And I am not very much satisfied with my performance, neither I want to be , else scope for improvement nahin rehta hai. I feel there are a lot of issues jispe I need to work. Baaki have given my best, dekhte hai result kaisa aata hai.
All the best to you too :) Aati rahungi thread pe. Idhar bahut saare dost log already hai
Achieved around 70% targets.
Answer writing from tomorrow onwards.
I was thinking that maybe we don’t realise how future technologies like AI, IoT and Big data Analytics are going to change our lives. Just had a thought experiment the other day. Suppose every person is provided with an AI as a 24x7 assistant. We wouldn’t need to remember anything for exams then. We would’ve more free time to spare. The mode of gaining knowledge would change from learning ourselves to teaching to AI assistant. The Big Data will guide us to choose an appropriate career option or any other major decision of our lives, based on past data and personality traits(just like the sorting hat in the Harry Potter movie). The army personnel armed with such advanced technologies and tackling many on-battle issues and factors simultaneously (like in the Iron man movies). Similarly, industries using such technologies to equip its workers to work with more efficiency. The economists using large data to calibrate macro economic policies effectively. Lawyers and judges in courts presenting and analysing arguments in a better way. Etc etc.
@sstarrr welcome. Hope you gave your best in mains. Aapme Pratibha hai, aap nikal lijiyega. Khub mann lagake padhai kijiye (Panchayat dialogue :p)
I’m also thinking of focusing on csat part. I’ve lost the practice of these things. This time in CSAT, could not manage my time effectively. Every now and then I am like, I could’ve avoided that mistake, or could’ve attempted 1 more question or could’ve attempted more question of that topic etc etc. I had attempted total 44 questions, 28 aptitude (22 correct), rest Comprehension and 0 reasoning, due to paucity of time. Need to allocate ample time to these also.
@huck I’ve also attended a week of Training camp (during college time as part of curriculum). It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I had seen a major change in my everyday routine. There was more discipline and punctuality after that.
Thank you.
Baaki forum pe rahiyega, always have loved what you post here.
Good morning people!
I am done with all my back up exams, and I feel so relieved. Will be posting targets over here to build the momentum.
Day 1, 10.10.22-
1. Mrunal Pillar 4C
2. Eco Jan CA
3. Pride and Prejudice- 50 pages
4. Newspaper
5. Hit the bed by 11 so that I can start the day a little earlier from tomorrow
Also, please suggest a good source for environment. Followed Shankar previously but- one, it is not updated, and two, the content seems scattered.
Thanks in advance! 🌸
I have followed PMFias for Environment. Its a big bulky book around 500 pages , but I feel its lot more organised than shankar. Updated I think as well.
@Ghostwalker momos and red mirch wali chutney are OG. Mithi chatni a big NOOOOOOO
Yessss. Momos and just red chutney! I have a close friend eating it with sauce, but close dost hai toh jhelna padhta hai.

Dost kitna bhi close ho, ese risks nahin lene cahyeih
Spotted this beast in front of Vajiram today.
Kaun se institute ki kaun si faculty isme padhaane ORN aa rahi bhyi…. 😆😁
Yahi sab dekh k one 28 years old coaching going kid says ki khOjha Sir Bihar k CM ban jayenge(with all seriousness& innocence). Because He has huge fan following!
Kya hoga is desh ka😭
28 years old kid 😂

I find people quoting him left and right even now 😐
Forget him I find quoting any of these UPSC teachers CRINGE at best!
I had even typed a comment requesting you to do your B.ed training with all seriousness in morning but then left halfway.
I've felt that people having qualifications for teaching posts & having qualified for similar exams do hell better than these people. Sometimes we all take help of these UPSC teachers because dearth of options but try comparing them with your school or college teachers recruited by a properly laid down process. Yes, you might feel that they don't teach enough but you will feel the difference in whatever little they do.
Nothing against anyone, wrote what I felt. I found the so called best faculties in coachings as below average & hence a rant maybe. Haha!
Everything is good here,but some teachers are(or rather seem to be) gems. Like Shabbir Sir(never studied from him),Atul Garg Sir(obliged to have learnt ethics from him), R.Dudhat Sir(never studied from him but saw him helping students at SRIAS),etc.
Even Dipin Damodaran Sir of Forum. Have been his student from past 2 years and can definitely say, one of the best faculties.
Hi guys. After days, have managed to make it to the library before 8:30(vo bhi late hai vaise lol).Also, have to attend college today.
Schedule-
Shubh Prabhat doston!
*Rockstar Judge has arrived guysss with a front page family photo!
In some other thread, I remember forum guys had a different name for Justice Chandrachud. Seems like he has many fan bois and gurls.
@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-
*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!
What Raju is sounding like :p
Raju here sounds like Raju chur chur naan wala. I expect to be prefixed as Mighty while being addressed.Lol!
Shit! Thats what we were talking about. How do you feel? 😂
@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!
@D503 Please note! Don't call him Raju, which is his real name, call him by adding prefix Mighty as well. 😂
@D503 Please note! Don't call him Raju, which is his real name, call him by adding prefix Mighty as well. 😂
yup. definitely.
sorry shaktiman@mightyraju for this abominable act from my side 😊
tumhara result aa raha @sstarrr how is josh :p
Roz naye updates aate hai, roz dil ki dhadkan tez hoti hai, phir wohi intezaar and just hoping that luck saath de :)
@Avixiva Congrats,yaar! Your post made me recall the time when some peeps used to be regular with posting daily targets on this thread.As a follow up,I commit myself to posting daily targets(even if I will be having other commitments) for the rest of the days leading up to 28th May(barring 28 November to 4th December+when college exams happen). I have been poor on discipline for over a month now and I felt deeply anxious yesterday night!
@D503 Pardon granted, comrade!
@sstarrr Haha.Also,best of luck for your result!
@Lawstice Your community's immense contribution to the lab-

Targets repeat.
@sstarrr do you have some specific time of the day in the daily targets?

-Newspaper
-Telegram scrolling.
Studied for around 5-6 hours and was poorer vis a vis what I was able to do yesterday.
How was your day@TomiokaGiyu ?
@mightyraju Yesterday was very very bad. Made very poor morning decisions and didn't go into my routine, and then any willpower pretty soon ran out.
Dude, how do you go get 8-9 hours done. Post Mains have not been studying even for 4 hrs. Just give suggestions how do you start and go about your day.

How was your year 2022.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Jiii...?
😅
Thank you for asking this. This has been a kaafi memorable year.
Phela prelims clear hua, I went on to write mains. The most amazing experience of my life and something I have been eagerly waiting since the last 4 years. I didn't clear, but having written mains the experience was great.
Personally this year has been amazing for me in the sense that I made some very good friends this year all thanks to forum. These are the friendships which will continue for life I believe.
Went to Delhi, the place I love the most, met my school friends and a veryy dear dear friend who I haven't met since 10 years.
I remember pichle saal this time only I was someone who was so hopeless, anxious and dealing with a lot of issues like loneliness, depressed about not clearing exam and what not, even though this year post mains I have been feeling all the same feelings but I feel I am in a better position in dealing with it. And to everyone who is reading this, trust me guys, if you are going through it, things will change for sure. You will do good.
Baaki I am just hoping next year isse bhi acha ho. Mains wains nikle, interview wagera de aur kya :p
And yeh tum logon ne puch puch ke kaise din ja raha, mera din acha kar dia. Thanks xD
P.S Arey sab batao, how was 2022 for you guys! Tag nhi ho pa rhe ho koi bhi as edit kr rhi, but everyone please share how has this year been for you all?

3. Ethics - 2 topics ( do it)
4. CA+
@D503 I get you totally, even I feel the same thing, that I have lost enthusiasm which I had when I started preparation and it sucks like anything. There has not been a day when I have not cribbed about the fact that I am not studying like before and actually not enjoying what I am studying except for PSIR, baaki toh kaafi bore. Still we have no option rather than just studying. And even I have started valuing my loved ones, family, friend and most importantly sleep a lot more than before. All the very best for 2023. I really hope this turns out the best year for you and for all of us :)
@Tata Bhai, Take care of your health, nothing is more important than that. Baaki Delhi mei even I lived, dost ache ban jaye jo padhte bhi ho, toh life becomes easy warna timepass acha hoga. All the very best!
@sonder I am so sorry, I have no idea about this. I have just started my preparation and I don't think I would be the right person. Those who have written mains can guide you better on this.
Oh bhai, subah subah kitna likh diya, time to get back to studies.
Goood dayy guys!! Khush raho sab :)

1. PYQs PSIR + Globalisation
2. RBI
3. Ethics
4. CA+
That's it. Good day everyone :)
@sstarrr ypt kya hai ?
Yeolpumta karke app hai ek jahan tum apne study hours record kr sakte ho.
Hi guys. Went for room hunting in South Patel Nagar and realised the amount of inflation now engulfing that area.The demand supply equilibrium is disturbed and owners and touts are the only beneficiaries. There was a situation when a broker showed me a room and I was like-issme ventilation nahi hai and he was like- Washroom Mei hai naa window.Oxygen aati rhegi.Lol!
Also,every time I have hunted for a room,I have been accompanied by my parents(as they hardly trust me on this).The realisation that parents adjust with a minimalistic lifestyle to ensure that their children live comfortably hits very hard at this juncture.
Also, a useful channel for those hunting for rooms(I got very good prospective offers from West Patel Nagar side but I chose South P Nagar since I have lived in this area earlier)-
Baaki,yesterday I didn't update but did a chapter of PSIR.Today's targets-
-Justice and Equality- PSIR.
-50 Pages of Ethics
-Newspaper
-Telegram and related stuff.
How was your day@TomiokaGiyu ?
Kaisa raha din tumhara@sstarrr ?
@Tata I agree with your opinion on Delhites. If I were Do-land Trump,I would have chosen to nuke the city.
Shubh Prabhat doston!
I am repeating these targets again.
The place I finalised wasn't rented even after agreeing to all the obnoxious conditions.Eventually,I explored the less explored places of West and East Patel Nagar. They are far better than Orn,Karol Bagh and South Patel Nagar.Baaki room mil gya and jhanjhat has ended.
@sstarrr Mere nahi jaate badhiya.@TomiokaGiyu bhai ke jatte hai bas.
Shubh Prabhat doston!
Targets toh saare complete hojate, typical toppers wala syndrome, sab kar lete hai and then say nahin hua hai kuch bhai.
Waise Even I lived in West Patel Nagar, yaad aagya Delhi.
Hello,
Can anyone suggest the strategy to improve Essay score. Is there any teacher in particular you would recommend, or any institute?
Thanks a lot!
Contact navya ma'm @ ForumIAS.
@Neyawn @farejul Sir, there is a issue which I have been facing while booking online sessions for mentoring. All the slots are always booked and I couldn't find a slot for online mentoring. When I checked for offline, those teachers were available, while for online they were not. Please look into this issue, I am sure most of the online students must be facing this issue.
