Why do IAS aspirants hide the fact that they are preparing for the IAS?

I think these pictures from a video I recently saw will answer your question.

Did you accidentally see something on someone's phone that you shouldn't have seen?

Not on mobile, but on laptop. I have a female friend who was new to the city in those days and lived alone in a flat. I met her in college. We often used to meet, chat a lot and then go on weekends due to our good friendship. Once I reached to meet her. She had made pakodas, etc., we ate and started talking. In talk, she told that her laptop has become defective, and asked me where to fix the laptop. Since I had experience of computer software, I started to find out the disease of the laptop itself. After investigation, I suggested that it would be better if the software is formatted and re-inserted into the computer. She obeyed me.

It was not right to look in front of her...

What do all UPSC toppers have in common?

Common attributes of the toppers: 1. They are single-minded about what they want. They don’t chase multiple goals like – making money, finding a date and also clearing UPSC. 2. They are willing to put in 100% effort without the fear of failure. 3. They don’t stop when they are tired, they stop when they are done. They always go that extra mile, squeezing and making the most of every single day of their preparatory time. 4. They are not afraid of making mistakes. They learn from their mistakes and those of others too and don’t repeat them. 5. They set very realistic goals and plan for them. Not a super-human 14 hours a day schedule, that makes them run out of steam in 2-3 days. 6. They are not too emotional about success and failure in the examination. They approach the subject clinically like a doctor, do what is needed and move on. 7. They have the capacity to delay gratification. They aren’t hankering after immediate success. They are willing to put the effort that it takes today, kn...

Can any SSC aspirant show study room photos?

My lovely wife takes care of my study table. She doesn't jumble my books and notes. I am grateful to her. A neat and tidy table helps me in studying for longer hours without interruption. I've started preparing 3 months back and aiming for few exams in coming time, SSC being one of them. Sharing a picture with her when she bought few plants for the study table in order to increase my productivity and positivity while I am at it. To be honest, I get all the positivity and motivation just by looking her put these efforts. Thank you. Source : Rohit Kumar Fagna
