Importance of Roots for the growth of tree ( Importance of Syllabus and PYQ for UPSC)
A father wanted to test the intelligence of his two sons. He allotted to each of them the task of looking after a mango tree, promising to reward the boy whose tree yielded the best fruit in abundance. The foolish boy discovered that the leaves were withering off and that flowers were coming up at the end of the branches. Promptly he went up the tree and carefully watered every leaf. The leaves withered still more and the tree eventually died. The wise boy, on the other hand, went on watering the root; the tree was green and healthy and yielded delicious fruits in abundance.
Similarly, in this UPSC journey, all institution strategies, faculties promises and guarantees, test series claims , Promising Model Answers and materials, PhD in Current Affairs, shallow knowledge answer writing are like leaves of tree. If you go behind them, you will never get confidence, always feels like something is missing like the leaves falling down.
But , UPSC syllabus, PYQ , Understanding Exam Pattern, Conceptual Understanding, developing Self analytical skills, Rational and Logical Mind, traits of being leader not blind follower of some success strategies as they call, Awareness, are roots of trees(UPSC).
So as you are a rational human being with mature mind, and who want to be a leader/administrator, chose what to water (Focus).
Enjoy fruits of your choice (choice of preparation with Awareness or ignorance).
All the best 🌿

Intense self-examination is very necessary at every stage of UPSC CSE Examination.
The more you are doing preparation in the illusions gathered from Market, Success -Guru's and YouTube, that much you will be deprived of the chances to clear exam.
Keep an intense self-examination towards your assumptions, fears and Success Guru's limitless promises of making you ranker by luring marketing strategies.
Integration of Your Original Self devoid of assumptions, UPSC Syllabus and PYQ , are bed rock foundation to utilise resources available in Market in your best interest for creating chances of clearing exam.
Otherwise you will be ruthlessly used by market forces for their self interests.
Only, Preparation with Awareness can put you atleast on the path of UPSC, but never ignorance.
You must be ever conscious of your shortcomings which distance you from Cut-off be it in Prelims or Mains and you must constantly strive to get rid of them.
Identification should always precede before taking necessary action. And Identification is impossible with out Self -Examination and acceptance beyond the clutches of your ego's claim of you are perfect.

What UPSC is expecting from Aspirants through Mains Exam.
""The Main Examination is intended to assess the overall intellectual traits and depth of understanding of candidates rather than merely the range of their information and memory.""
The nature and standard of questions in the General Studies papers (Paper II to Paper V) will be such that a well-educated person will be able to answer them without any specialized study. ""The questions will be such as to test a candidate’s general awareness of a variety of subjects, which will have relevance for a career in Civil Services. The questions are likely to test the candidate’s basic understanding of all relevant issues, and ability to analyze, and take a view on conflicting socio-economic goals, objectives and demands. The candidates must give relevant, meaningful and succinct answers.""
The scope of the syllabus for optional subject papers (Paper VI and Paper VII) for the examination is broadly of the honours degree 1evel i.e. a level higher than the bachelors’ degree and lower than the masters’ degree. In the case of Engineering, Medical Science and law, the level corresponds to the bachelors’ degree.

Do assess yourself that, is really your preparation is in line with UPSC requirement or do you focusing on accumulating heaps of information and memorizing them?
UPSC wants unique intellectual traits and depth of conceptual understanding,
Just ask your self what you are doing!
Whether you are mugging up and accumulating information or developing your conceptual understanding and intellectual traits.

From Eckhart Tolle's THE POWER OF NOW
According to this most of us are beggars in one or the other way, but we don't accept it 🤔🤫
The greatest obstacle to change ourselves is arguing with ego that "I am not a beggar" 😂😂
Ask yourself honestly, whether you are a beggar or not , and if yes, then what you are begging for .....
It feels good though it's hard, to do self-enquiry with honesty. Try once.

What is food insecurity?
A person is food insecure when they lack regular access to enough safe and nutritious food for normal growth and development and an active and healthy life. This may be due to unavailability of food and/or lack of resources to obtain food. Food insecurity can be experienced at different levels of severity. FAO measures food insecurity using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) shown in the image.

Through the experience of evaluating hundreds of answers over the past three years and having personal discussions with around 50+ Aspirants, I want to share one of the major mistakes I observed aspirants are doing unintentionally i.e., Aspirants are rushing or so eager to write answers, without having enough patience to give emphasis to each word in the question, so as to understand the maximum closest and possible demand of the question.
By doing this Aspirants are writing answers, but not answering the Questions. The consequence will be getting below average score.
And intentionally they are trying to cover up this below average performance by decorating answer to look attractive. Without understanding and addressing the demand of question, what help do decoration do, you only have to ask yourself.
Answer will have value and get rewarded by examiner only when it respects and follows question demand, as how important a thread is for garland of flowers. Question demand is such a thread, your answer will have value according to how closely you understood the question demand and how strongly and efficiently you articulated your answer on that thread.
Not only awareness is required in Preparation but also it is equally important while reading questions.
Learn with Awareness and Write with Awareness, so that you can get your best possible outcome in line with your potential.

The following are few of the major mistakes done by aspirants who fail repeatedly and score less in Mains, unknowingly and without Awareness. (This also applies to those who fail in the prelims and those who are preparing now and committing the same mistakes.) Take the below mistakes as sign boards to check your preparation journey efficiency.
1. Not analysing the UPSC GS Mains Syllabus and Previous Year Questions. These aspirants Prepare for Years and Years ,but rarely do they try to understand the Syllabus fully and get an idea of interlinking, overlapping Concepts given.
2. They have all the Material (new and old) which ever is trending in the market and Telegram Channels. But Rarely they complete atleast 50% of that material. Just accumulation, due to initial enthusiasm they read one material for two or three days , by that time a new material will uploaded in telegram which claims to best, so just get drifting to diverse and inefficient sources.
3. Unnecessarily putting a heap of garbage of materials upon one's Preparation. It's also same like food , if you take in a limited and sufficient manner it enriches you , or else it destroys health.
4. Rarely they work consistently to brainstorm Previous Year Mains Questions it may be GS or Optional. They always want Model answers from outside. And also if someone says, so called test series is good, these people simply join and waste their money without using the test series completely.
5. They won't maintain consistency in writing answers or tests. Attitude of easily giving up after one or two answers or tests if they receive some critical remarks from others or else if they not able to finish the targets.
6. They read static seperately from multiple materials, notes from so called enrichment classes given by xyz institutions and Current Issues seperately from either news papers or any website or magazine or enrichment classes/notes. But hardly apply their thinking in linking and updating static with current issues.
7. Most of them due to lack of planning waste 2-3 months time after prelims result or mains result, which otherwise can be used effectively for next attempt. Here motivation comes in patches , 3 months Hardwork, 1-2 months or more of disappointment, again hardwork.
8. Joining Test Series with blind assumption of test series is one point solution to get rank. But if one is not aware of why he needs to join test series and how one needs to utilise test series and mentor to the maximum, then it's just waste of time and money.
There may be few aspirants who knew all these things and prepare well ,but still fail due to their specific reasons , it's not about them.
It is about the majority who do Preparation in ignorance & without Awareness.
If You are Failing then the reasons may be , Lack of Awareness about Exam Syllabus, about Previous Questions , about Yourself, Lack of Practice , Self Analysis, Over Dependence on Outside factors like institutions, materials , faculty notes, etc.
Ask yourself, Analyse your preparation to Know your reasons....
The above may or may not be applicable to you , but if you do your own self analysis you will realise your mistakes.
Do Prepare with Awareness and value your hardwork, time and money.
Be Consistent and Clear.
Start your new phase of Preparation by removing the veil of ignorance present in your Preparation by allowing light of Awareness.
All the Best 👍

Never hold back from writing an answer if all that paralyzes you is fear of making a mistake.
If you make a mistake there is a chance that you will learn how to improve your answer next time.
If you never write an answer, you will never know what changes you need to make.
Each answer gives you an opportunity to make a mistake. It is the sum of those mistakes and the afterward realisation that will make you write better and better.
Somewhere it has to start , So start it here and now .
Be Happy to make all mistakes here itself rather than doing them in the UPSC Mains Examination.
Do Mistakes and Accept them , Learn from them and Evolve beyond them.
All the Best👍

UPSC CSE 2027
Now the main question, How to Prepare Geography Optional.
By considering all those above mistakes, the following ingredients may make some difference depending on aspirants acceptance and belief.
1. Preparation with Awareness:
(a) Emphasising on thorough Conceptual Understanding from Standard Textbooks ( standard books may not contain complete syllabus, where ever required need to refer other materials and internet)
(b) UPSC Given Geography Optional Syllabus -Understanding and Keeping it as ultimate reference at all stages of preparation
(c) Topic Wise Previous Year Questions , Keeping them as benchmark to check your conceptual understanding and sufficiency of your source ( be it standard books or material) (rather than blindly wasting time on reading inappropriate content or having shallow understanding of concepts, it's better if you check through PYQ, then you can make needed changes effectively)
2. Systems Approach to Preparation:
(a) Treating Total syllabus as a System and syllabus topics as elements of that system representing different domains of our life , and knowing that those elements are interlinked in one or the other way with each other directly or indirectly.
(b) also knowing that some of those elements ( syllabus topics) are dynamic, means they have contemporary dimension ( so while reading a topic itself , trying to cover contemporary developments regarding that topic)
3. Having a clean mind ( without misconceptions and illusions about Optional) and open mind ( ready to accept mistakes and to get adapted to new approach)
4. Knowing that perfection is a myth be it about completing entire syllabus or writing so called best answers. Considering the scope of subject, how much you may cover the syllabus, there is a huge chance to get few questions ( 4-5 ) from unknown or little known topics. Accept this, so that you can know limitations and focus on what you can do.
5. Targeted Answer Writing: Writing Answers, need to keep one thing in mind , purpose of writing answers is to know what kind of mistakes you are doing while understanding question demand and presenting the content in a meaningful way as per question demand. It first starts with imperfections only , sometimes even complete wrong answers do come, but if you focus on what is missing and where and why it's missing, then you can work on those aspects. So that relative perfection and relative good answers will become an outcome of your efforts.
7. Clarity and Consolidation: Know what you are doing and whether it have anything to contribute towards your performance in optional exam.
Preparation with Awareness 🪴
All the best 🌿

How to Prepare Geography Optional ?
Before knowing how to prepare, let's look into how not to prepare ( unfortunately majority of aspirants are preparing like this )
The most common features/ways of wrong approach to preparation.. are as follows
1. Blindly mugging up and reading, revising same xyz notes and thinking they are preparing optional so well
2. Not understanding Syllabus, as rather than syllabus putting trust on some faculty and their notes
3. Focusing more on some institutes test series and model answers, rather than understanding previous year questions.
4. Neglecting ( some don't even buy standard books, rather buy all the material in market) necessary standard books.
5. Not having contemporary dimension regarding syllabus topics, this happens as a result of following some odd notes ( as they are so busy in reading and revising that notes, like all questions are going to come from that notes itself) .
6. lack of interlinking skills for concepts within chapter, between and among chapters and also between both papers ( as it requires quite the amount of self-efforts and struggle to understand syllabus, no notes will give it artificially).
7. Neglecting Paper-2 and certain portions of Paper-1 , by their imagination that just by reading from the preliminary exam perspective and a little GS mains perspective, they can easily write answers in optional. Don't know how they are missing the logic that if one studies the subject in detail and specifically, then it may help in GS, as Optional syllabus is very detailed and specific.
GS syllabus is very vague and general, how can this vague thing help in writing specific answers.
8. Writing answers, this we need to talk , fixing a format for how to write answers , and reproducing it on paper ( here they don't bother about what question is expecting, they will write what they want to write, like a monarch ) and blindly following the great formula , i.e., placing diagram on each page of answer ( here they don't bother about name of diagram or other details of diagram or its specific relevance to question, all they need is they have to place diagram on each page)
9. From the beginning itself approaching Geography Optional with scepticism, getting influenced by the peer aspirants , that geography is difficult, geography is not giving marks , and if the influence is more , changing to other Optional.
( may be there will be many more mistakes, )
Now , ask yourself "if one is making all or some of the above 9 mistakes", then don't you think he/she is perfectly entitled to claim Geography is difficult and Geography is not giving good marks. Obviously, they will and they can say that.
But is it 100% True?
Is it Subject or is it Aspirants approach to Subject? Responsible for such claims around Geography. Ask yourself before entering the journey of Geography...
An outline of Awareness driven Systems Approach to prepare Geography Optional will be shared in next post.
Thank You.
