hahahaha i agree but that's not dishonesty. That was misjudgment! I was right in 2014 coz I knew it was very difficult and sub 210 was not unreal. 2015 and 16 were samanya gyaan kaun kya hai and I was wrong. isliye to sabse puchh rahe taaki GK potential of India Ko samajh sake

hello
would like to share something here....
i joined forum in 2015 and it was my ist attempt .. cleared pre and wrote mains .... studied really hard .... with only one goal that i have to clear it anyhow... but out in mains....... but did not feel bad .. feeling even more motivated and given again in 2016 .. and did not even clear pre .... again 2017..... so many problems in life but still something in me says i will do it ....... whenever i feel low i visit a civil hospital nearby .... people lying there on floor .... and the scene there ... push me more into my dream.. i feel this is what i m going to change and for them i have to work hard and i will do it ..........i will not leave them ... i am going to work really hard ... and this time definitely i will make it to IAS ..... it may sound insane to some logical person but i m different ......... and all those who really have the guts to believe on their dream i just want to say ....... YOU ALSO HAVE THE POWER TO ACHIEVE THEM........ HAVE FAITH...... just puch your limits and you can conquer the world.........

i would like to share this poem which keeps me motivated despite so much negativity
मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ
बेअदब सा मैं खुमार हूँ
अब मुश्किलों से क्या डरूं
मैं खुद कहर हज़ार हूँ
मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ
मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ

उंच-नीच से परे
मजाल आँख में भरे
मैं लड़ रहा हूँ रात से
मशाल हाथ में लिए
न सूर्य मेरे साथ है
तो क्या नयी ये बात है
वो शाम होता ढल गया
वो रात से था डर गया
मैं जुगनुओं का यार हूँ
मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ
मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ

भावनाएं मर चुकीं
संवेदनाएं खत्म हैं
अब दर्द से क्या डरूं
ज़िन्दगी ही ज़ख्म है
मैं बीच रह की मात हूँ
बेजान-स्याह रात हूँ
मैं काली का श्रृंगार हूँ
मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ
मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ

हूँ राम का सा तेज मैं
लंकापति सा ज्ञान हूँ
किस की करूं आराधना
सब से जो मैं महान हूँ
ब्रह्माण्ड का मैं सार हूँ
मैं जल-प्रवाह निहार हूँ
मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ
मैं शून्य पे सवार हूँ......

don't worry about cut offs ... i only believe what you do ... whatever .....do it with all your faith and hard work......all the power of universe will come to your rescue.....
sometimes being illogical works best ........ i feel for me it works .. rest depends on your faith.......

Loved this poetry.
Can you please share whose it is?

Thank you.

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.”
― Emily Dickinson,


Just hang in there...

cut-off would be 112+/-1 for this yr.

last yr cut-off i predicted 117 (it seat has not increased and reservation criteria same cut-off would have been 117 or 118 ).

people have scored 140+ in this paper too and general selection this yr is ard 5500 (reduce ph from total seats).

PS- my score as per forum 129.33 and clear ias 126.72 (don't know how 72).
didn't match answer question wise so not sure about variation attached my marked response in word format here only

let's see .
