How to write a kick-ass essay?

Oceanus

Hello friends,

Going by the conventions of this forum, I am a senior member here. These days I am more of a silent spectator rather than an active warrior. Just 10 days before prelims, I decided that I will not be going for CSE anymore and will go after my passions. So, I have decided to write about the tips and tricks which I learnt during the long period of my preparations on my blog.

I have started with essays. I think I have a pretty nice method of writing essays which can be of use to any IAS aspirant. So I have written a blog post about it here- How to write a kick-ass essay!

You can use this framework to develop yours or can the framework as it is. It's your choice. If you have any doubts, you can ask it in the comments - either here or on the blog.

If you think I am promoting my blog, then yes I am because I think I have something valuable to be shared among IAS aspirants. Apart from that, I am blogging for more than 2 years.

All the best

@Oceanus MAN i have seen you actively participating and sharing answers on answer writing threads....like someone said above CSE indeed will lose a good candidate if you decide to sit out from now onwards

Oceanus

@TonyStark The reason is on the blog itself. Read my previous post- Why have I left my IAS preparations?

@an225 @Bureau_crazy Thanks buddy.

@blitzkadu Actually I have done that deliberately by tweaking my blog's css properties. Is it obstructing the blog content? Are you viewing it on tab or phone?

blitzkadu

( after reading your blog, i felt like crying....hate you now why name me (tony stark) in ur blog....
jokes apart,..... its so true what you wrote...upsc was also not my choice nor childhood dream , my intent for this exam was a chance like many engineers today.... ..1 more year..then i too will decide whether to leave this race or not.. |)

thank you...
but wasn't michael scoffield had to do what he never dreamed of. it wasn't his choice, there was no other way to save his brother...life has too many choices ..but there are only few chances and further fewer purposes .....doesn't matter one may have interest in that...what life needs is a purpose....this is what i feel..
