1. Reading newspaper is a must. To get more advantage I suggest one should have a World Map and Pakistan Map (A1 size, easliy available from book stores) placed in the study room. Whenever you read a news about a city/ country/ region, spot that on the map. This way one can get well versed with the geography in general and also it develops more interest in the happenings of the country and the world over.

2. Have a diary or register and divide it into portions and entitle them to major contemporary issues or your subjects or w.r.to regions and countries, and mark important events, points, quotes from the newspapers and from several current affairs resources e.g. TV channels, magazines, journals etc. This way, after a few months, you will be having adequate and up-to-date material on all important issues.

3. Remember: "Sharing enhances knowledge". Always try to share your views and discuss with your peers and seniors to get different opinions and perspectives related to an issue. Always keep your mind open for new thoughts and new dimensions of things happening around you.
