Better knowledge of our strength and weaknesses is a necessity to our path to success. I have devoted most of my time preparing for UPSC civil service examinations.I have faced setbacks but definitely each year of preparation was a new phase of learning and experimenting different methods to understand the examination. In this process I became socially and politically aware and started viewing everything around me with reason and thinking about solutions for many issues. In this digital era we have information at our finger tip and I thought through this platform I could reach out to audience who can benefit from my articles academically.
