I am Anudeep Durishetty, IAS officer of 2018 batch and All India Rank 1 in the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2017. I secured this rank in my 5th attempt. Over the course of my long tryst with UPSC, I had learnt a lot from my mistakes and I consciously worked to rectify them. I intend this blog to be a repository of my experience so that you don’t repeat the same errors. You’ll find posts on my journey so far, preparation strategy for GS, essay, optional, answer writing and other peripheral aspects relevant to Civils preparation. Aspirants may post their queries in the comments section.
Apart from these, I also plan to write about topics of general interest that fascinate me. I am a native of Telangana and my hobbies are football, reading and meditation. I love Arsenal, Lionel Messi and Roger Federer.

Sir, I read your other post on UPSC Journey I got the answer that you write Forum IAS TEST SERIES at home with timer.
Yes, I entirely prepared while staying in Hyderabad and so I had to opt for online mode. I wrote all tests from my home.

Thank you sir

First of all congratulation for your tremendous success Sir.
Sir, I've studied till 10+2 in UP and from UP Board, as far as I could remember I left essay writing in my 8th standard only because essay writing was in the syllabus till then. Now while I think to prepare for CSE, I'm stuck that how I should write an essay. Because my mind in essay writing is not developed since I haven't written an essay for the last 7-8 years. And now if someone tells me to write an essay, I guess it'll be written at the 8th standard level which is nothing in front of this large CSE- Mains essays. At this stage, I'm not able to decide where to begin with. It could be a problem for other aspirants as well. It'll be a huge help if you could guide and let us know how to start for the essay writing i.e. read the essay, analyze them etc.. I would love if you could guide us in terms of strategy with some resources where to read up them.
I've written a detailed post on Essay writing.
