THIS TIME AGAIN.....MY STRATEGY FOR PRELIMS 2020

By -
I can remember june 2nd 2019, the day I have given my prelims. After exam I am very much confident that i will going to write my first mains.So, it would be better to start the strategy by analyzing what I have done for prelims 2019. I think that may works for this prelims also.
I will analyse the things from my daily schedule.The best thing which i have done is that i have changed some of my daily routines.and my routine is as follows,
Time                      Location

5-5:15am                 wake up
6-10:30 am              Reading room
11am -1pm              giving test at test center
1pm-3:30pm            ----------
3:30pm-9:30 pm      at my mentors room-discussion and studying
around 10:30pm       go to bed

I think this is only schedule i have executed perfectly in my life till now and i got best results out of it. though it never been my habit of waking up in the morning but forcibly i adopted it but after some days i really liked it.waking up in the early morning is the one thing which worked for me perfectly on the day of examination.And this time also I am following the same plan with little modifications.
NOTE: my room partner used to say that we should have two places to study for long hours. That's why I have choose reading room and my mentors room(my study place).

SOURCES

I can divide this section into two parts. one is static and another one is related to current affairs.

Static book-list:
Polity- Laxmikanth
History
Modern INDIA-SPECTRUM
Art and Architecture-My notes
Economics- My notes+ Sriram's IAS Economy material
Geography- NCERT+ GC Leong
Environment-My notes

Current affairs:
i) My notes prepared out of newspapers
ii)Learning space revision modules
iii) Any one of the institutes prelims quick revision materials(GS Score,ForumIAS,VisionIAS etc.)
iv) Economic Survey Gist by VISION IAS

and finally taking the test papers of any of one good institute and solving it. I should solve at least 50 questions daily.

NOTE: Number of revisions of the above sources increases the score in the exam.

Self discipline is a key ingredient to success

    Hey siva I have few questions to ask.
    1. most of our RGUKTians might have studied their social sciences in Telugu in the schooling (including me) ,and terminologies in English will be different in social sciences and for everything we need to see dictionary to know the meaning ..how did you overcome English in mains answer writing ?what will you suggest to overcome this problem ?

    2.which online foundation course you will recommend to attempt 2021 upsc ?

    3.should we prepare notes out of NCERTs ? If yes what are those books ?

      1.hi, first of all a want to cleat this, i am also from Telugu medium background.
      We have to face the language problem in the beginning. but once we have acquired a good amount of words, the same will repeat in everywhere. In the beginning i have also used dictionary and internet for the meanings(I use them even today).
      In order to overcome this problem improve your vocabulary practice writing answers from the beginning of your preparation. Keywords are the key for this exam, so when you come across important words,we need to have clear understanding of what it is.Like in polity there are lot of words, like Secularism,socialism,republic,democracy etc. when you have clear understanding of the words you can utilize them effectively.
      2.in my opinion coaching institute is just to familiarize the things. It will give an idea about how to proceed with the syllabus. There are lot of institutes like vajiram,visionias,forumias etc. and all big and reputed institutes are at the same level.
      3.yes,we have to prepare notes out of NCERTs. See the syllabus first, accordingly extract information for NCERTs.

Doubts regarding UPSC interview

By -
 Dear friends,  Many of you have doubts regarding UPSC interview. In this article I will clear some of those doubts. Most of you have a common doubt that is,can somebody give their UPSC interview in regional languages like telugu,hindi,tamil etc. Answer to this question is absolutely YES. After you clear the mains exam, you have to fill detailed application form-2 (DAF-2). In this you have to opt your language preference for interview, there you can choose your mother tongue for your interview. Though you may opt regional language for your interview but you can also give interview in English. Actually what happens is that when you enter the interview room the chairman will formally ask whether you want a translator or not. If you are not confident in giving interview in English you can ask for translator. the translator sit besides you and translates the things in English. Otherwise you can give your interview in English only.

That thoughful night?

By -
On the other day I am going my room from my friends room by auto. In the midway the auto was stopped at a signal. I was thinking about my exam and looking around, the traffick was very huge. I was observing a young lady holding her baby of around 6-8 months old was begging. The baby was sleeping even in that crowd. I thought may be he was habituated to it. I don’t know why but at that point I remembered the amartya sen’s capability approach. It says that everyone who born on the soil of the country should be provided with equal opportunities irrespective of their economic, social background. It might be the fate of that boy who was born to that lady that’s why he was sleeping in that dusty road. I became more of philosophical and thinking what might be the causes for that situation, weather it is the fate of the boy, the fate off the old lady, the capitalistic economic policy, the poor economic status of our country, the over grown population or the political masters who did not pay...
