  • Can't believe itne tough times mein gender discuss karna precedence le raha hai.
    Please everyone share your personal story to help others overcome their insecurity; pain; lonely battle.
    One (wo)man's courage makes a majority!!!!

    I am a female :)
    isnt it very obvious from Khatoon in my user name?? Khatoon matlab a lady! Hadd ho gayi...
    लोग नाम से ही जेंडर पता करने लगे हैं पर इंसान को सामने से जानकर भी हम उसको नही जान सकते

  • @KhatoonKamyab I am writing this because of you. :)

    I love words. I am obsessed with all form of visual arts. I can look at star charts for hours and I own a tiny telescope. Loving these can't get you anywhere, can it? Neither will it make you a good son/daughter.

    I am also a postgraduate from a premier Institute with hons and a gold medal, so I had a good thing going on career wise. And in my native, it was pure gold.

    Then CSE happened. I wrote mains in my first attempt. Then, a cycle of sadness and despair.

    Couple of year fast forward, CSE is a thing of past for me. I teach engineering grads in a premier Institute. I give myself solace saying that this is my chance to work for flaws in technical education in country, and I love all my kids there, but I can't stop thinking about LBSNAA and life thereafter.

    I have age and attempt both for CSE, I don't if it's a good thing or bad... But you know, enough about myself, I would like to say something to all of you out there, everyone like khatoon.

    This is coming straight from heart. You are all no less than a warrior. I respect you, and I want you to win, assuming what attracts you towards services is not grey. I want you to get in, it feels like I know you, reading your posts over years and years, and I want you to do what I could never achieve.

    A big hug.
    I thought you will never visit forum again :flushed: ...

    No lol. You got busy in your institution so i thought you may not. Good to see you here after a long time. :)
  • It's semester break, no teaching @Burger. These are my usual post prelim forum visit, even though this time I didn't write.
  • @KhatoonKamyab lovely post!
    I have always cleared prelims before(twice) but this year has been huge letdown and i am stuck at a score of around 95..having cried for 2-3 days post prelims,i finally decided that it's no use thinking of what's been done.This whole exam needs knowledge as well as luck.Also there are chinks in my armor,faults in my prep and i have to rectify them.will study for mains from today and continue chaahe jo bhi result ho:)
    I wish u all the best and hope u qualify and fulfill ur IPS dream!i really think that all 100+scorers(after counting the 'real' controversial questions incorrect)have a chance this year
  • People don't worry, writing Upsc since 2014, my fourth attempt in 2017, scored ~130 easily in 2016. My personal opinion "cutoff will never ever cross 105 for GM". I wish it would come down further below 100! Best way is to start preparing if you are scoring 95+. Belive me, Cutoff will be surprisingly low this time, note my words. It would be around 100 IMO. Don't waste time, go study, enjoy the journey, mourning won't lead you anywhere, do it joyfully!!
  • Had the 2nd ranker anmol sher singh bedi (pre marks 116) and 2011 2nd ranker rukmini riar ( pre marks 199 cutoff 198) been worried about cuttoff, they would hv flunked mains... its ok to worry but dont get paranoid about it... avoid forum till result or avoid cutoff related threads till result..they serve no good...study hard for mains..u never know..u might be the next topper.
    Valar Dohaeris!!!

    @alka if u dun mind sharing, which subjects do u teach? do u miss ur kids? i remember how u'd shared their pics once :)
  • Thanks to what you wrote I went to college listening to the radio after 11 days !
    Dats why I said I luv u
    Please people I'm a girl myself. Khatoon's post relieved me it was so true n touching n real
    There is power in positive words, I'm thinking so differently. Sometimes turbulent times or lehre like this take us to our goals..so no point crying I'm enduring tough times. Leave the boat's fate in god's hand and do your best
    Big hug to you frm me2
