    I was making notes from the hindu editorials. It was taking around 90 to 115 minutes at max. As now I am finishing my optional I am not reading the newspaper but will start reading from may first week. It will be great if 2 or 3 aspirants cooperate eachother so that we would be able to complete the notes within 20 to 30 minutes and utilise rest of the time in answer writing of Foram Ias Mains Marathon. Pls reply.
