Since a lot of people have been asking, let me reiterate! The course will continue. It has just been delayed for sometime. It will still be available and effective for Mains 24 and onwards.

Let's have a Mains session at 9.30PM! No 3PM session today. Be ready to turn on the camera though so that we have a real class feel!

This should be our standard Internal Monologue, the voice that speaks inside our head, when we are in distress. Use this in place of the one telling you, “You’re not good enough”!

Optimising Reading for Maximum Outcome:
Just how we need "Minimum Government, Maximum Governance", in UPSC, नारा needs to be "Minimum Reading, Maximum Application"!
Let me call back my past self to address this:
P: Past self
N: Present self
P: सवाल तों बढ़िया हैं। Doubt तो मेरा भी same हैं। Please throw some light.
N: So the solution is simple. After carefully analysing these questions, you can realise that a question on a particular theme is often context neutral.
P: शब्द बहुत सारे, समझ कुछ ना आए। थोड़ी सरल भाषा।?
N: शांति से सुनोगे तो सब आएगा। You need to develop the knack of identifying the theme from which a question is being asked. For instance, pause and go have a look at the previous year questions that relate to "Pressure Groups"!
P: देखकर ही आए हैं।
N: Okay, Einstein. There's a difference between just seeing and observing to analyse. If you closely look, you'll see that all those questions are just asking about features,characteristics, working of pressure groups, albeit in different wrappers.
P: Wrapper तो chocolate का होता हैं, देसी भाषा में बताओ।
N: One more interruption and you're out of the group. Listen carefully now.
I don't care for the context. They can be asking about "business groups", "farmer orgs" or any other subclassification of pressure groups,
THE POINTS WILL REMAIN THE SAME.
P: तो अलग अलग नहीं पढ़ना ये सारा? मैंने तो detailed notemaking, comprehensive और exhaustive coverage सुना हैं सब।
N: I don't like commenting on other's methodology, but let's just say, it's easy to suggest things that are "Effort Intensive" and then pin a negative outcome on the student's "Lack of hardwork"!
So once you identify and club those commonalities, then you have to create enough relevant fodder to address those questions.
I know what you want to say, please don't. Fodder for cattle is different from the fodder for these questions.(गाएं भैंस का चारा नही हैं यह।)
Now pause once again and see this fodder I created for myself for Pressure Groups, NGOs, SHGs and similar topics.

N: I revised this fodder so much so that it became a part of my muscle memory. I see a question on PG, CSOs, NGOs etc. and I retrofit WAGE SPAM, EPL, EMC etc. Those are 14 points right from the word go. Now the more I practice, the better you would become at fitting those points for contextualisation.
That's why I say, answer writing is an art, not a science( कला हैं विज्ञान नहीं।). The more you practice, the better you become.
P: मज़ा आ गया। मतलब अब बनेंगे कलाकार।
N: Whatever sails your boat. Also I have a homework for you now. Watch those three recent videos on YT to see more Mains principles at play!
P: Homework नहीं। 😭
N: In that case, better go watch lbsnaa shortzz, maybe you'll find actionable hacks there. In any case, that was it.
P: रुको रुको। वो पिछली बार वाली illustration तो दी नही अभी तक?
N: Young jedi, if you observe closely enough, the photo shared is the illustration I intended to share, clubbed with the videos I have uploaded on YT! Anyway, go through them and get back to me with follow-ups, if any!
P: सही। आता हूं कंधे पे लटकने फिरसे जल्दी ही। 😁
N: I'll wait, बेताल to my विक्रम। ❤️
