has anyone put internet surfing as hobby? i have put internet surfing as hobby in mains form. i do not know hw the board will take it. what questions can come from it and also what preparation i should do to prepare for questions that upsc board members could ask on this topic. friends, pls guide me if you have any experience or idea on this.
@mihir_3131 your hobby is the real hobby of most of the urban population, but no one dares to accept is as a hobby as wide range of questions can be expected from it. You can do one thing, just prepare one side in which u r more comfortable like movies or sports or politics etc and tell them that u mostly surf about that particular filed in internet. This way u can atleast expect some questions on ur strong area otherwise they can ask any random questions.

in sab cheezo ke baarein mein kaun surf karta hai yaar...lolz
If you put internet surfing as your hobby they may not only ask about what areas you surf in the internet, but more importantly they will ask questions about the internet itself. Be prepared.
To be frank, you just opened pandora ka pitora :-?? You could have put in "jogging" or "cycling".. etc....etc...life would have been so much simpler....

Friends during my last interview I mentioned that hobby,which is not actually. Though they didn't ask a single question upon hobby, still I was scared that I wdnt able to answer my hobby related questions confidently, during my interview preaparation . Bcoz I had gathered much knowledge about that hobby but I had not any feelings regarding the same. So this year I mentioned my actual hobby.bcoz I used to spent 3 to 4 hours daily on Internet.i don't feal good if link is down even for a day and not able to access Internet .so dont afraid of upsc will ask what.the game is all about confidence bcoz by asking questions they are not checking our knowledge but assessing our personality. That's why I mentioned my true hobby that is surfing the net. By the way I am a computer engineer so also have sufficient knowledge regarding the technicalities. Thanks a lot @halibel
