No need for software if you can learn from nature, at least that's what my ancestors did.Take the ancient Temple of Borobudur for example.Borobudur - WikipediaIf this colossal structure were to be build today the amount of computation and simulation required to complete it would be very great.But because there were no computers in the 9th century what my ancestors did to complete this beautiful edifice was quite amazing in it self.They learned from observation and harnessing everything that nature has given them in order to complete this temple.Borobudur is located on the South Central part of Java. It's location pretty much dictates how or with what the temple is going to be build. Since volcanoes dotted the landscape the builder choose Andesite as the the main building blocks.Andesite - WikipediaAndesite is a very light volcanic rock.On average between 20% to 40% of the rock's volume is actually air due to the pores. These pores came from the way the rock were born inside the belly of a volcano. Because there were a lot of it lying around, using Andesite would be a no brainier instead of importing a more robust type of rock from outside the region.On average the weight of individual stones in Borobudur rarely exceeds 9 kg. Meaning it would be very efficient and cheap to build the temple.Another trick that my ancestors deployed in order to finish the job is the involvement of a mortar free construction method.Today, despite our technological advances, mortar free construction is still rare. From small simple homes to tall skyscrapers, nearly all used mortars. But Borobudur and many other ancient structures in Java are actually free from mortar.How?By using spacial imagination.They used interlocking mechanisms to get the stones in place and support each other. By joining the stones this way there's no need for a complex computation or mathematical equations to get the job done. The simply used their imagination.Why mortar free? Because of the nature of Java.Java is tropical. It's hot and humid all year round. When it rains it pours down heavily. Imagine what would happened to a mortar if exposed to these tropical elements for a prolonged period of time. The mortar would be rotting away leaving the integrity of Borobudur jeopardized.Not to mention Java is prone to periodical volcanic eruptions and large earthquakes.Sulfur contained in the volcanic ash would literally dissolve mortars, while during earthquakes, mortars would break and caused the structure to break with it.That's why even after 1000 year Borobudur and other ancient temples in Java still stands firm. If an earthquake knock down the structure, people would simply put the pieces back together like Lego bricks. The absence of mortar allows this to happen.Ancient structure does not necessarily mean that it's primitive and built by primitive people. On the contrary, many of these ancient buildings, at least in my country were built with sustainability, efficiency and safety in mind.It's incredible to think that people in the past don't need a complex or fancy software in order to build a lasting structure.

Hey!For Safety inspections I would recommend SafetySnapper. It’s a very simple app that allows you to manage your own checklists and then - using the App on your phone or tablet - you can:Review the checklist itemsAdd photos, notes and annotationsThe resulting PDF report can be easily downloaded, edited and distributedIt comes with a free trial of 14 days: Pricing, field report and punch list appIf you’re looking for tips on how to get the most of your inspections I would recommend reading this article: Construction Safety Inspections - The Ultimate Guide

The General Studies paper of ESE comprises of ten topics as under-Current Issues of national and international importanceEngineering AptitudeEngineering MathematicsConstruction safety and Engineering drawingInformation Communication and technologiesMaterial ScienceStandards and quality practicesEnergy and EnvironmentProject ManagementEthicsExcept Engineering Aptitude and Engineering Mathematics, all the topics mentioned above are very dynamic in nature. The knowledge base with respect to these topics is evolving day by day. As such there preparation for UPSC ESE will require daily follow up of the events of relevance happening in the country and around the world.The sources mentioned in question i.e. Standard Books, Coaching Material and Online Video Lectures may not be sufficient individually but if follow a well-balanced mix of all three, it will be most balanced.While I was preparing for UPSC ESE 2017 and 2018, I used to follow below mentioned strategies and they proved to be quite helpful-For the CURRENT ISSUES, I used to daily surf through apps such as ONLINE TAYARI, GK Today etc for a short while and note the events of importance as a short note. In the month of November, MADEEASY publishes a consolidated Annual Magazine for UPSC ESE. I read that thoroughly and made I did not miss any important event.For Construction Safety & Engineering Drawing, ICT, Material Science, Standard and quality practices, Energy and Environment, Project Management and Ethics, I followed the classroom notes of MADEEASY. Now back then due to the new syllabus, the notes and study material was very elaborate but with two attempts happened after the syllabus change in 2017, the study material and coaching notes by MADEEASY have been refined and I believe they are the best among all.Since I had a very little understanding of Engineering drawing(skipping classes in college costed here), I needed a much elaborate lectures for Engineering drawing. So for ESE 2018 attempt, I followed the Engineering Drawing lectures from NPTEL web course. P.S- Do take care to filter the content because teaches in a very elaborate manner and there are things which are not required from ESE point of view.I did not go through the Standard textbooks, though occasionally in order to search for a answer for a question which appeared in any test, I would surf through web to look for answer and that would take me to a paragraph of some textbook. So I would recommend you to do the same and reading an entire textbook is not suggested at all. Rather invest that energy into revising your technical portion, believe me that will prove to be more fruitful.The above mentioned strategies are my personal experience with GS of UPSC ESE. I hope they may prove apt for future aspirants as well as they proved to me.In case of any query, feel free to leave comments and I shall get back to you.Thank you for readingAshish Rawat
