My GS Preparation Friends and fellow aspirants, This post will be very specific as to how I prepared for GS and Essay.

Fellow aspirants, read on... Friends, stay away... unless you wish to move to the former category or never wa nt to read my posts again. No, it is not to create any suspense or generate any interest. Plain and simple, stay away... Even though I promised I will be objective from this post on wards, that seems t o be a difficult task. Probably I will be, soon. For this time, I will try to capture it as a journey. Yesterday, one of my friend told me that, after the results come out, every rank er writes as if she/he has done everything in the world. Hundreds of books, all government reports, two or more newspapers, many journals. If you are expecting anything different from me, sorry. My whole purpose is to g ive you as many pointers as I can and in no way to limit your intellectual journ ey. yes, civil service examination is one and take it like one. Before I start with my resource list, few things about me which ultimately decid ed that list. 1. I love books and am an avid reader, but with a built in fault. I cannot read a book twice. So I have read different books on same topics. You may choose n ot to, and save money and effort. 2. I was supported by a software engineer wife, who let me buy all the books I wanted (not needed). So I have one book which contained original writings of Mar x and Weber which cost me around Rs.2000/I bought original books and was only to a very limited extend dependent on xerox copies. I know this sounds crazy. You can choose to buy xerox, not buy crazy books, and be more focused on the syllabus or..., you can get married.
