It is platform to express yourself.

In my opinion, aspirants face two kinds of challenges in Mains exam- one is Content deficit and other is Writing fear and opinion building.

Mainstream test series and UPSC do not allow to develop your writing style or simply, it has its own boundaries.

I am trying to address second issue of Writing fear and opinion building. It is platform where you can write anything related to GS, essay, optional.

Following are conditions-
-Topic should be related to civil services examination
- Don't copy paste articles from other sources. Write your own.
- There is no word limit to write. You can write essay or even one line comment on any issue. Idea is just to write something and coming out of phobia of writing and develop you opinions
- use graphics or cartoons or poetry or whatever medium you want, just remain stick to topics related to exam
- Please do not make BAKAR or write your MANOHAR KATHAYE here

And aspirants neither face content deficit nor opinion building.. infact these are two things where every serious aspirant is good at.. if not then kindly introspect what are you doing.

Yes sir. I am introspecting . And truly, I am facing those issues. I can speak of myself and not of others.
Initiative is to search people who are facing same issue. Those who are already doing well can easily avoid this thread.

Those are not 'dictates'. Simply, you can say suggestions. And no one is forced to follow it. If you have better ideas, you can suggest.

I think we should be allowed to write on any topic of our choice in 100 words or so in own words, to display and simultaneously improve our writing skills.

Since the ball tampering issue by the Cricket Australia is in news, let me write somethinng on it in approx 100 words on the spot without much thinking. Here it goes :


Selfish and unethical acts seem to be widespread phenomena in every aspect of human life. Whether it’s a case of cheating in an examination, or indulging in theft, pickpocketing, snatching or robbery, or ball tampering, to name a few, the root cause is desire - the desire to win, the desire to acquire.

We are greedy, and our greed makes us indulge in unethical acts. We must realise that there is no end to our desires and hence our greed. The more we get , the more we want.

Being an international cricketer is in itself such a huge achievement; one has already achieved so much in life which billions of people can only dream of. Still, the greed has not subsided, forcing the person to indulge in unethical and illegal acts in an effort to quench the insatiable thirst.

It seems that Gandhiji rightly said that there is enough for everyone’s need but not for greed.
