admin I think you are doing greate job I want to help you to impove over it. I have one suggession. after every 15 days or 30 days try to compile all things to one file and upload it. it will be great work and will also help in incresing user traffic.
good comment by esha…are you preparing for civils?
yes
Esha please mail me your id at kjvenkY@gmail.com. We are soon starting a group who write essays for the essays section.
I severely doubt whether these comments are made up by the cronies of admin.. Because the current affairs section which I see in this site is borrowed from a blog.. and also it is posting irrelevant news..
For eg: “In Tennis, the Indian contingent will begin their main-draw campaign of the Chennai Open Men’s tournament, the first ATP tour event of the year, at the SDAT-Nungambakkam Stadium..”
Did you ever see a UPSC question paper? Did you ever cleared mains? If ‘no’ is the answer (I am sure it should be), please stand away from this niche.. UPSC civils exam is not TNPSC Village Assistance Exam..
Dear Varun,
The Blog we are borrowing from as you say is done with due permission from the publisher. If I have cleared mains I wouldnot be here maintaining blogs and sites, Can you please site the posts from which you have picked the things?
The questions I am trying to address is to makes it a consolidation of blogs which people discontinue once they get civils.
Hello Varun,
UPSC is not the only thing to have knowledge, but also to have a right attitude and aptitude towards all the major happenings. As Chennai Open is one of the major ATP series, UPSC could ask about it. In this brief news the word “Chennai Open” is mentioned so as to keep track on it. Thus each and every brief news is relevant for the preparation of UPSC.
Now, as you see in this blog, the administrator is seeking no other incentive just to have respect and affection of his viewer. He is working and sharing his readings just for the good will. Rather criticizing him, I think you should be sorry of your behavior that you have shown. So dear improve your attitude. Thank you.
@Admin
I picked the above mentioned example from your post, “Current Affairs, 2nd Jan” but right after my first comment the particular sentence has been removed from your site.
You should take my criticism in right way,, Mr. Bharath Vaishnov is doing a good job, eventhough he is copying the Hindu articles(that is a different case, which include copy right violation of the hindu). At least maintain his standard.
@Tune in UPSC
>>> UPSC could ask about it…
I have noticed your blog, there is nothing to comment about such garbage blogs, but as you are inviting my comment, A student who is preparing for this exam knows what are relevant and what are garbage.
>>>admin is seeking no other incentive..
Even if seeks incentives, he knows he will fail miserably. So ignore that claim. I commented to this site, only because this site is misguiding the aspirants. The admin himself asserted that he himself not even clear the mains (for your info: I cleared mains in my first attempt) and pretending to be a guide for civils aspirants!
>>> You should sorry…
No my darling.. I just show the mirror to you.. What you have seen is your face. So there is nothing to do with my attitude.
@Admin & Tune in with UPSC
If you know the path of success, show that to others, its a good thing. If not better stay way.. or at least don’t misguide others.
If Tune in With UPSC still have doubts, I would recommend you to refer the last 10 years question papers..
Hi Varun,
I am surely looking for people like you who can help others. Why dont you join the group in that case? mail me throught he contact form and We can have a google chat. And FYI I didnt not edit any info on the current affairs section.
