Hope you have loved the toddler steps 1, 2 and 3 in earlierpost. In case you didn’t it may be time for you to leave for doing something
good. If not lets continue.
The ncert, the
headlines are just the beginning. Now you have to expand the knowledge. We will
see how the knowledge can be made little more advanced.
Step1 : Start seeing magazines. There are magazines like
yojana, civil service chronicle, civilspedia, kurukshetra etc. At this step
just take all these in hand and see the pages. We are checking if they have
left any blank pagesJ.
Just try to read a few lines here and there. The best place to see them is a
book store or a library. Don’t jump start and subscribe for 2 years since you
will get 20% discount. In this step you have understood that there are many
magazines which are writing about national, international matters and that the
authors write thousands of words on each matter.
Step2 : Seeing books. The best way to see (not to buy) is to
meet a senior who is trying for civils or library. Touch the books which you
have heard from fellow aspirants or heard from topper interviews. Check how it
weighs!. If the book doesn’t harm you , then read a few lines. See if it goes
inside your head or is it making circles above it.
Step3: Internet. Yeah, the name would remember you of social
networking and other things pleasurable. But now were are here for it. Internet
is known to be a source for studying too. Dont wait for all the pornnn in the
internet to dry , before you start studying. In toddler steps you have seen the
syllabus. Take it back, and search a few topics you saw in that. Eg:
Biodiversity or population. See what internet has to say and what Wikipedia has
to say in particular. The Wikipedia can give you a good introduction to some
topics (NOT all topics). See if the information makes you happy or sad.
How was steps 1, 2 ,3 in this page. Did it go well with
you?. The journey has just started. If you are okay with steps 1, 2, 3 in this
page then its time to sit down and have little thought.
What you gotta think?
Which magazines i saw has written matter and not rubbish?
Which is the magazine that i can cover/afford/available?. Are the books too
heavy for me? Would social networking eat my time while browsing?
Think and if necessary repeat steps 1, 2, 3 to get a clear
view. Ask your friends, search online, ask toppers to have a clear idea. Now
after this exercise you must be able to
1 choose atleast 2 magazines which will be useful to you
2. Choose few books which you are going to read
3. Browse internet a bit and see for information that is
useful.
In case it doesn’t work out for you even after repeated
trials, then again it’s time to say ZULLe’( a term in my local language used to
indicate that i am quitting the game)
