  • I still curse the day when I went to neetu singh and asked regarding reference books.
    Her reply (thrice) was my notes are enough. Just do them well.

    Halwa hai kya bc. :rage:
    During this time last year I burnt her p2 notes and shabbir's as well.
    They fetched me just 119 marks in p2. When first timers scored 150s.

    It took me 2.5 years to finalise my booklist. Uske pehle bhagwan bharose tha sab.

    Neetu ko dekh ke use pelne ka man karta h

    It has happened to many people. But may be you had too much faith in the person.
    (P2 I think is not about books, any one is enough. My personal opinion and experience).
    But for p1 my vote is with you!.[But not ur exact same words]. The teaching out there of "well established teachers" is little out dated. (Both in quantity and quality). Students have to fall in these traps of increasing expectations of upsc and inability of teachers to point direction[esp those who join coaching].
    Indeed some new players are as a result different and trying better (guidance ias). I don't know whats harm in telling this book can be read if interested.

    Anyways whats your booklist. TIA

    Bilkul sahi kaha bhai. :)
    Mere case mein it was not faith, but lack of awareness. I was at home after 1st attempt. People mugged 500+ and scored 150+.(not questioning their hardwork).

    And biogeography can be referred from rupa made simple series.

    This was exactly my thought. " Bata de yaar, teesri baar puch rha hu. mujhe tumhari language samajh nahi aati + bina book ke mera confidence nahi banta".(Tumhe kya dikkat hai.)
    Itni galat salat books padh li faltu mein.

    Wo terragreen magazine suggest karti h. Pagal hai kya bilkul :D
    Usme uttarakhand ki case studies ke alawa kuch nahi aata.
  • :'-( Tears of joy to see a Geography thread in first page. Just too touching :'-(
