Hello Ma'am, The advice which ashsishsingh gave to you above was a good advice. You took it sarcastically but i dont think it was sarcasm. I was thinking of writing the same thing but anyways, if you think that you could not perform well in optional start preparing that now. It would only help you in future attempts (if any).

hello sir,
i did feel it was not put forward in the right way. And i think it also decreases participation of users in asking genuine questions.
I may have reacted in a bad manner because the answer did not address my query. It merely said wait. All i was asking was what to do - prepare for mains or interview.
Since there is enough time and it is difficult to prepare for mains again after studying so much just last week, one needs break. I was concerned not to waste December - January. I asked this because i have wasted these months and regreted later.
I am thinking of taking up the forumias mains test series by end of month, currently don't have the energy to do all studying again. So at least building some base for interview will help if one gets an interview call.
This thread of for those people who have just written mains. two questions i have to ask
1) should we prepare for interview or mains right now 2) what can be immediately started so that time is not wasted in december
Prepare your hobbies .. Use previous year transcripts for reference .. Maintain notes .. Will help whenever you get a call
thank you @lohkitwadi. can you share some of the hobbies questionnaires that you have made?
Actually I ordered from flavido (hard copy) .. Then used the same hardcopy for additional points/notes .. The hard copy had transcripts categorized by panel, and must have been 200 pages at least .. It is very difficult to read the entire thing and be preapared for all sorts of question there if your turn is on the first 3 weeks, so ordering it right away will be useful for all who are expecting a call. It was ~300 bucks and totally worth it
I had some soft copy notes on "Reading Hindi Poetry" and "Trekking". Shall be sharing towards december end as I would not have access to my laptop till then
