*********Tips For Newspapers for current affairs and trivia********* At the outset, let me begin with insisting on a thorough reading on a good, standard daily. People insist on The Hindu as a must read. I, however, found that The Hindu is not published in certain cities, namely, Mumbai. As a consequence, I could lay my hands on the Chennai edition only on late evenings and not till Monday in case of the Sunday editions. This affected my daily schedule. I thus recommend reading newspapers such as The Times / The Hindustan Times in case of such logistic issues. One can always refer the online editions of other newspapers for the editorials or any special news items. While reading any good newspaper, I recommend focussing on both the trivial facts as well as the deep seated analytical understanding, found in the inside Op-Ed pages. Focus on the International politics, Science and Technology bits, Business news and the Sports sections. Keep a diary / scrapbook of any information that might seem relevant from the exam point of view. Thus, tables/graphs showing world resources, economic data, sports history, business successes, science marvels etc should be duly recorded. Special effort needs to be taken about places/ persons in news for sudden or extraordinary reasons. It also pays to read captions under photographs printed in the newspapers. These invariably carry the more important news bits.
