When you are clueless of what lies ahead, delve deeper into your inner consciousness. You will find a million fireflies fluttering around and in all of that sheer glimmer and ecstasy you will find inroad the journey of self-transformation.

If your target is JRF remember aspirants you need to be ready to travel the extra mile.

“Dream, Dream, Dream.

Dream transform

into thoughts

and thoughts

result in action.”

-          Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Quoting the lines of a visionary considered to be the missile man of India, I personally draw inspiration at different stage of my life from a great leader. Yes, dreams guide us. As we start our preparation process when we talk around with people on the same page we confront with questions like-

Should we be buying books more often referred to as guidebooks?

I remember doing that for my 10th exams. Boards went pretty well. So, while in Bhubaneswar I with my friends with full josh decided that we will go to buy few books. The first book I preferred to buy is

I was very much aware with this thing that yes, I would be going for my Ph.D. and in that case all I need was to qualify NET. Being a student of science for me with not much idea of what education and books related to it will be all about I started first by visiting the library of Regional Institute of Education, Bhubaneswar to take a look at the different books I could gather which would help in the preparation process.

                  KVS MADAAN

KVS MADAN – MAGIC HAPPENS FOR PAPER 1 if you master this book. Highly recommended for   people worried with how to ace Paper 1.

Personally speaking I was not able to go well with paper 1 preparation .I tried to find out the reason. Then I garnered the courage to solve numerical of DI (Data Interpretation) and in the exam it appeared so easy. I could solve the sums very well.

 

How we should be using the Guide books?

Just use them as your guide. This is as simple as being said. The answers given are supposed to be read .Of course personally speaking I preferred not to prepare notes for few of the topics and decided to directly follow the guides. It helped me get an idea. One way to use these guides is to use them for solving.

Effective ways through which you as an aspirant can keep going includes -

1.      Read first. I say this because you definitely need to have conceptual clarity over the concepts  which is an essential part of the preparation to ace the exam.

2.      Wake up early in the morning. Morning time is the best time for preparation. You get to connect to yourself at deeper levels. Brahma Muhurto is the best time when you can tap into the energies of the universe to bring your best possible fit.

3.      Multiple revisions help aspirants to remember and understand concepts better.

4.      Discussions with people who have already cracked the exam is crucial to remain motivated.

5.      Plan your own strategy. Apno Depo Bhavah which translates to be your own light and create something beautiful for yourself and others. Be dedicated

6.      Go for walks to connect to yourself better.

7.      Have adequate time for rest which means you need to have enough sleep.

8.      Have a routine  which provides consistency.

9.      Practise resilience because you know at the end it is you alone who would be steering your ship safe to the harbor. People can inspire you into greatness but what counts at the end is your tireless effort to make things happen.

10.  Solve the sums first from the exercises given and them try solving the sums from the pages given

11.  No matter what just be honest to yourself.

12.  Get a room for yourself- a place where you can focus with less distractions.

13.  Plan according to your capability. Go by a proper road map understanding your strength and weakness. This is where SWOT analysis works where you can examine upon your Strength, Weakness, Threats and Opportunities.

14.  Remember working hard pays best in the long run but you need to plan out a strategy that works best for you.

15.  Practise discipline. This is what aligns you to your goal.

It so happens that at one point of time you might feel like kya yaar nehi ho pa raha he Friends log toh bahar ghumne ja raha he. Mujhe bhi jana tha. Thoughts like these will definitely come to your mind. But remain steadfast and true to yourself and keep striving for progress. Kash mein bhi ja pati. Nehi jane se toh dost logo ko kharab lag sakta he. Similar thoughts would come many a times but if you are committed to yourself and for all the larger well being of the world you are motivated into working hard. Remember dear your mind will waver but you need to shift your focus to the books.

 Keep on motivating yourself. Set a clear target. Be disciplined .Be steadfast in all that you want to achieve. Pray, meditate and during your preparation process talk with people who boast your morale. Make your sessions productive. Split it into sections.

Believe in miracles. Everything is a miracle until you leap into the process and it comes to you with full glory. It does happen.

Well, this was for this blog. Work hard, translate your dream into reality. Hope it will help. In my next blog I will be talking about how effectively you can use KVS MADAAN for your preparation.

How to go about your preparation through KVS MADAAN?

Until next time

Keep studying

Spread joy and smiles

Be a shining star.

 

Much love
