Essay should be natural, emotional and smooth for the examiner to read. I always tried to add Sanskrit Shlokas in Essay in Roman script with explanation of its meaning.

There are multiple ways to write essays. Every topper have their unique way. Therefore going through Toppers' copies is important to find out what is suitable for you.

Also, the more you practice essay, the better you write. Ideally one should write one or two essays every week and approx 10 Essays between Prelims and Mains. Sharing some of my Essay copies for reference -
