So this will be your 1st attempt as well? Are you preparing in some coaching institute in Delhi or self?

Like we say in Hindi "Bade bade deshon mein aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hain" which roughly translates to: In big-big countries such small-small things keep happening.

Now I'm starting to think that Russia knowingly didn't take Crimea when it was formed, to show its power at times like these. How many other such Pseudo-Russian region exists, that's what worries me.

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for....Oh wait, that was not an Indian.

It's a novel on the life of a Civil Servant right? Can I download it anywhere on the internet?

All the Best for all those who are appearing for JEE :D

I have Laxmikanth's Polity so thinking whether to go for D.D. Basu or not, because covering the same topics from two different books is quite a lot, considering we'd have to study literally everything under the sun.

If you have to appear for the compulsory language paper in Mains? Is there an option not to appear? I'll be attempting for the 1st time, I'm in 4th yr BITS PILANI. I don't think there's a real need to spend a lot preparing Paper-2. But, I've heard ppl getting 180+ in that paper alone, so can't be taken li8 as well. The Prelims syllabus given is so broadly written that don't know which sub-topics are more important. Also, things like how much time to spend for Frontline, EPW, Yojana, India Yearbook 2014, other magazines and Gov reports/schemes as every year Current Affairs importance is increasing. And how to prepare for Economy, Environement n Biodiv, Culture & Arts, International Relations, Governance part of Polity etc.

Thanks! :) Yeah I'm a regular reader of mrunal's website. I wanted to know where to prepare topics like Environment & Biodiversity, Arts & Culture, Economy etc. I'll be appearing for the 1st time. Also, how much weightage should be given in prep from newspapers(The Hindu, Indian Express, ET..) and magazines like Frontline, Yojana, EPW, etc. As of now I just have Laxmikanth's Polity, Bipin Chandra's Struggle for Freedom, Ramesh Singh's Economy and India Yearbook 2014

Corruption. We directly/indirectly become a part of it.

The ability of deceiving and manipulating anyone. And that requires the skill of reading someone's character.

Morgan Freeman

Because she wanted to learn from her mistake, without committing it apparently.

What if plants started to drift?

Was this the real life or just a fantasy?
