Back to Track KAS Again

 More than a year and half is over since I wrote the Post KPSC KAS Exams full of uncertainty and What to do Next?
There was a hope that at least by year end of 2013- we might get the new notification... Looks like 2014 which is going to end soon will not see the light of KAS notification... Can one hope for 2015 ??? answer seems to be yes... So Battle ground is silently getting Ready... It is Just that We need to be prepared...

The long wait for call from KPSC has depressed us so much that books are just in the racks and occasionally above the study tables... The Plight of those who secured good marks in Previous exam and those who topped is Much Worse I guess... 

Martin Luther King, Jr -We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope...

One Thing is sure the waiting period that we all suffered for new notification, should be taken as a positive lesson by All aspirants that 'This time when the notification Comes I will make sure that will work Hard like never before to crack the Exam for sure(for those who couldn't make it last time) ...' 

Its Time to Organize and plan for reading...Also as most of us know what the Syllabus is going to be, though official one is yet to be confirmed... 
There is still time for analyzing what went wrong with earlier preparations or for freshers to familiarize themselves with KAS stuff...

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe - Abraham Lincoln

And For those who topped in 2011 n got selected : since Matter in Courts: Justice will be served to you whether delayed or otherwise... But if u have an opportunity to take up Exams again please do write without loosing hopes.Show the world 'how tough you are...Fight back you will win...'

I know So many have lost Faith in KPSC and KAS as there is no guarantee of posts even if one is selected... Don't Worry Things change and we should not loose hope... 

At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division- Jesse Jackson

The last experience of KAS has shown us that Not everyone among Topper is by wrong Means... Specially Harish G K The third Rank Holder of GP 2011, I really Appreciate him ...(Did not See his Complete Interview of Samaya News,Available on Youtube as its very heart Breaking ) 

Anyways we should have Faith in the System and work Hard with positive mindset Results will be good if our efforts are Sincere.

We may stumble and fall but shall rise again; it should be enough if we did not run away from the battle - Mahatma Gandhi
