Dear Group Members, Achivers and fellow IAS aspirants,

At outset, Let me congratulate for your efforts put up to share and support each other in the common cause.

I am new to this group and wondering if some of you helped me get answers of the following questions. Request to you share your experiences here if you could allign yourself with some of the questions below:

• Based on your experience, what is your suggestion to someone who is aspiring and preparing for CSE while continuing with his job?
• What approach one should take to start with if he is point blank about any of the optional subject he has chosen- though have a great interest in it; say for example: Sociology
• Any tools if you could suggest for continuous motivation in longer run while someone strikes a balance between Preparation and daily Job?

Would come back to you with more threads and queries in future mailers. Anticipating a great share, Thanking you all in advance.

Thanks and Regards:
Surya

* Based on your experience, what is your suggestion to someone who is aspiring and preparing for CSE while continuing with his job?

Yes

* What approach one should take to start with if he is point blank about any of the optional subject he has chosen- though have a great interest in it; say for example: Sociology

read NCERT, wikipedia. and then move to the standard books.

* Any tools if you could suggest for continuous motivation in longer run while someone strikes a balance between Preparation and daily Job?

my motivational force is the constant sound in my mind that i don't want to live as nobody in the society.
