Chapter 5 of "Moh Maya Mahe" is beautifully written! The blend of emotions and vivid descriptions truly bring the characters and their journey to life. I love how the story continues to evolve, keeping me captivated with every twist. The "Sunshine" theme in this chapter adds such a warm and uplifting contrast to the deeper layers of the plot. I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here!
'Brevity is the soul of wit,' they say. UPSC loves brevity. And if you can pour a little wit in it, their day is made. Before we delve into the ESSAY paper for Civil Services Exam, I would just like to point out that this article is going to be brief. I won't really instruct or implore you to follow any guidelines or apply any 'tips and tricks', my dear friend. *Because essay is a matter of the heart and mind. And every pair is as beautiful and insightful. So we'll talk about the 'soul' instead. (*Note: never start a sentence with 'because'- a teacher once told me.) (**Also note: question all advice- nothing is sacred. THIS PAPER gives you room to experiment.) I scored 161 Marks in Essay this year.

They are arranged in the order of 'factual nuggets' or 'keywords' that can be sprinkled in your answer to either fight the mental block that we usually face while writing GS answers or just basically enhance the quality and uniqueness of the answers. Some parts like Cases, Laws, Vocab are such that they can fit anywhere in answers related to various themes. I hope you find these useful. Best wishes, V.G. List: 1. Important Political Thinkers (Page 2) 2. Some Sociologists (Page 12) 3. Greek Thinkers (Page 15) 4. ETHICS (Page 18) ...Issues ...Dilemmas ...Keywords ...Examples 5. QUOTES (Page 26) 6. Ethics Case Study Format (Page 36) 7. Law Comm. Reports (Page 38) 8. COMMITTEE REPORTS (Page 39) 9. Facts and Stats (Page 42) 10.

Here I present to you the result of my efforts at making notes for Mains 2018. They are quite crisp and laden with Keywords. I have treated all GS papers as one comprehensive paper. Also, I have adopted a strictly 'One issue, One page' policy to enhance the effectiveness of answer writing. Apologies in advance if you find them unorganized or don't like my handwriting (or both). But well, that's how dynamic things are nowadays. What to do, dear friend? What to do! Best wishes, V.G. There is an INDEX attached below- to scroll to specific topics.
