My strategy and approach for the essay paper  The essay paper in CSE Mains comprises two essays carrying 125 marks each. This paper has the potential to decide your rank given the marks differential lying from 70s to 150s. The changing pattern of the paper which is now shifting more towards writing philosophical/ inference driven/interpretation based essays on the one hand gives an upper edge to candidates to reflect their creative side and showcase their true personality, thoughts and vision . On the other hand it has become challenging for some candidates as well. In the CS Mains 2022, I secured 131 marks in the essay paper .  I would like to share my approach and strategy for this paper.

SECTION-A खण्ड A आत्म-संधान की प्रक्रिया अब तकनीकी रूप से वाह्य स्रोतों को सौंप दी गई है। The process of self-discovery has now been technologically outsourced. आप की मेरे बारे में धारणा, आपकी सोच दर्शाती है; आपके प्रति मेरी प्रतिक्रिया, मेरा संस्कार है। Your perception of me is a reflection of you; my reaction to you is an awareness of me. इच्छारहित होने का दर्शन काल्पनिक आदर्श (युटोपिया) है, जबकि भौतिकता माया है। Philosophy of wantlessness is Utopian, while materialism is a chimera. सत् ही यथार्थ है और यथार्थ ही सत् है। The real is rational and the rational is real.
