Please don't do cyber begging here..


Extra attempt is excuse of failures.. 

Hard work means to persist inspite of all odds..


I m expecting good score in mains. I have practiced a lot of answer before the mains exam... I am strictly against any such delay tactics..

I think your choice of words could have been better... cyber begging is not appropriate word..


By the way how was your mains... There are very few who are so optimistic about their performance....
