✅Gentle nudge and reminder :
🅾️August is the month where students get very relaxed. This is the month where lot of holidays begin- rakshabandhan, independence day, ganesh chaturdi etc .. then before you realise mains paper discussions will begin, you have the illusion of preparation chasing and consuming content mindlessly without tracking your outcomes.
🅾️This is the biggest tragedy of most UPSC aspirants... the illusion of preparation- especially the senior folks- just realise that the margin for error is close to zero. Are you tracking your progress? If yes how? It is time to face this uncomfortable question....
