The title of our first post here might seem beguiling for a blog that intends to revisit general studies for Civil service exams. But hold behold, observing and celebrating the religious fervor -extraordinaré that is currently pervading and parading our nation, we thought this act might make us more relevant and more current than the plethora and multitude of information that abound the vast and umpteen number of times chartered territory of civil service preparations. Having said so lets not forget that even ISRO goes for a pooja before the launch of any of our beloved PSLVs, however the gods, quite inscrutably, seem conspicuously biased towards the older sibling (pslv) showering no blessings or grace upon its younger but a more ambitious brother - the GSLV. But lets not get carried away, for the rest of this blog is only dedicated to General studies so we can carry this talk of space and technology in our post on the relevant topic. Having blabbered enough let us get on to some serious business and give u all beloved readers an idea of this blog and what it aims to achieve.
Muriel Rukeyser had said that the universe is made up of stories not atoms, and oh my oh my!! such holy words she said. Treading similar paths, the aim of this blog would be to unravel this colossal, serpentine and much arduous work of gs preparations in a rather easy and fun loving manner. Simply put we intend to write articles so as to make things more simplified ,interesting and interlinked, because it's not facts and figures that UPSC is after but ideas, ingenuity, understanding and other related things. This mighty field of general studies that covers almost everything under the sun and even things outside it as humorously mentioned by a fellow preparant, is quite a tough nut to crack. And our attempt through this humble blog would be make life more easier ( dont know how qualified it is of us to say that ) and little on the fun side.
So every day we would post articles related to topics in the GS syllabus for CSE as prescribed by UPSC and by the end of it we hope to finish everything from rocket science to world war to schools of indian philosophy to indian polity and all that is needed (mind you we have used the word needed not wanted!!) for prelims and mains.
We are a group of 3 guys, who have taken upon us this cudgel, if you will, to revisit gs preparation from a fresh and a more compelling and absorbing perspective. Before putting the pen down and getting down to business we would like to quote chacha Nehru when in one of his letters from ahmednagar imprisonment (he also penned his amazing book Discovery Of India here) he wrote " Whether we were foolish or not… we aimed high and looked far."
We don't know how visionary or far, this aim is, but as the urdu couplet goes
manzil mujhe mile na mile iska gham nahi/manzil ke justaju me mera karwa to hai.
To fir hamare pyare mitro, with the incantations and invocation done we wish you courageous guys the very best and hope the bloody battle of this exam finds you always in good spirits irrespective of results.(We shall also discuss the doctrine of Nishakama Karma of Bhagwat GITA- ethics paper?)
Until next time
Urs faithfully.
AAo comrades tumhe dikhaye Jhaki UPSC prep ki
is mitti pe janam liya ye mitti hai balidan ki.!!!

come on dear comrades let us revisit the holy land of UPSC prep
for this is where we were born and where we ought to be martyred!!
