somebody should sue hindu for this kind of B.S
seriously.. i cant believe they randomly picked stale news and decided to publish it on front page.. caused so much unnecessary headache and tension.
though I agree ,, I do see a silver lining in this media adventurism by the Hindu, which eventually elicited a categorical denial by government rubbishing any possibility of tampering with the existing age or attempt criteria. This explicit govt. response has once and for all shut the doors on intermittent media speculation and sensationalism concerning this issue….
So in a way we should all thank The Hindu for this latest episode.
ye hindu newspaper itna costly kyu hai.is that kind of some monopoly
Newsonair! India News——–>>> No proposal to reduce upper age limit for civil services aspirants: Centre
No proposal to reduce upper age limit for civil services aspirants: Centre
Centre has clarified that it is not considering any proposal to reduce the age limit for civil service aspirants. The announcement came against the backdrop of news reports which suggested that the Modi government will implement the previous UPA regime’s decision to bring down the upper age limit by four years. An officials said, there is no proposal before the government to reduce the age limit for civil services.
Instead of reducing the age limit, the government has already announced that civil service aspirants, who may have lost out due to changes in the exam pattern, will get two additional attempts.

Referred to the individual who wrote the Essay; The usage of words like ‘envy’ , ‘Western investments’ etc reflects the inherent immaturity of the proposed discourse put forward by the writer. Incoherence and wasteful repetition plagues the essay; in addition, there are no visible solutions to the underlying issue. Henceforth, the writer is advised from using amateur terminology; it compromises the essence of whole discourse.
Plus please avoid bad grammar; it’s ‘Riparian’ , there’s no such term as ‘Intrusion Policy’ in the Foreign Policy dictionary and the reference to China and India’s ‘expansion’ , please attach an adjective to ‘expansion’; it has to be ‘economic expansion’ or else it would lead to an assumption of ‘expansion’ as ‘geographical expansion’. Ambiguities tend to cloud the view please avoid it.
this nice eassy point has wri tten by some follower the all point wil be help ful for all upsc aspirant .

measure of success?
Why in this fast paced life has the ever changing mind of humans changed the very measure of success? Why have decency, humanity and love been so blatantly disregarded and acquiring wealth, fame and honour come to be understood as synonyms of success? Why today a person’s life despite of fulfilling every desire is devoid of peace? Which is the better life and in the real sense what is the relation of happiness and success with acquiring wealth, fame and honour? Is it necessary that every well educated person like a doctor, engineer or a master of any art is also a good human? Or every wealthy or famous person is also a worthy human? Or is even a single person from amongst them all truly at peace and content?
Nay! None of the measures from these can assert to be the true measure of a human’s humanity or happiness. Then what is it that will endow a person’s life with humanity, give him peace and make him successful?
Take a deep breath and contemplate these question for they are very vital.
