Update for people who have been asking me about my absence in DMs:

I was supposed to be back home by tonight from Mussorie(Long story). But my car broke down on the mall road. Not a good end to my solo road trip. Just got it towed to Dehradun for now, hopefully I should be back in 2-3 days. Feel free to leave questions for me on the group, I'll get back to them asap.

Morning guys! Now that I'm back, let me brief you on the adventure that was last week.

Being in the cycle for five long years takes a toll on your mental well being, and I was no different. Even though good things have started to happen since last year, I can still not be sure of the outcome come this May.

So I had a #lawyered moment to give closure to my past self who entered the cycle at 23.

The idea was simple. Once you're successful in this exam, you go to LBSNAA. So what if I trick my brain by paying a visit to that holy shrine in Mussorie, maybe I can let go of that emotional baggage. And so I did. Met some friends, made some new ones, it was a great experience overall.

Little did I know that I had another adventure waiting for me in Mussorie, an adventure which was updated on 20th March.

But, the solo road trip did the trick. I feel I'm back to my prime and I have a clear head, something that hasn't happened over last 3-4 yrs.

Here's a little montage I'm certain you would like.

Also, now I'm back to designing and shooting videos. Getting you the best shot at writing Mains is the only emotion that drives me now. Let's begin the last lap on mission mode.

For Students who are enrolled in any of the Sherlocking modules, you'll be shortly getting a Google meet link for Friday, 24th Mar, 9PMish! Drop a request at @helpdeskupsc if you don't get your link by tomorrow afternoon.

Every single enrolled student must have gotten the access to atleast some videos by now. Check with @helpdeskupsc if you haven't recieved any access at all.

Also a final reminder for the essay students. If you have any activity class or evaluation pending, get done with it asap. I've anyway extended the validity beyond the initially promised 6weeks from enrollment so that you can use it in the most optimum way but it will certainly expire from mid April.

Today's session with the enrolled students was really engaging. Planning one for tomorrow for everyone at large. We'll quickly discuss certain do's and don'ts for upcoming Prelims and take some questions, while wrapping everything within an hour.

Date: 25th Mar'2023
Time: 9PM

24th March, 9 pm(Special thanks to Kaushikee for making these minutes)


- Don't be a rat, be an eagle (bird's-eye view ftw!)
- Basic sources, previous year papers, self belief. Rinse and repeat for shining results.
- Maximize attempts with logical backing. The answer is right there, waiting to be found. ~ 81 questions by the second iteration.
- Decisiveness. No faltering when there's logic why I feel an option is correct.
- Mark as many possible in the 1st iteration itself.
- CSAT - no fretting about quant.
- It's a simple exam, no deliberate attempt to make an aspirant fail. Not easy, but no shadyantra going on either.
- Don't lose to fear. Equal chance of failing or making it through, so might as well give the best shot anyway.
- I'll live even if I don't clear the pre, will worry about that when it actually happens. Keep going with studies for now :)
- Cut demotivating people off.
- *Be the merchant of chaos* since it's uncertain for everyone in the exam hall, think of it as an opportunity to find a way out, not a reason to give up.
- Believe in the magic so that the magic works for me ✨

Reminder!
