@ Bhola

I agree with you.
Can you tell me from where i can get that interview of BANOO APA?
By the way i have personally met her at her home.
Waiting for your reply

@waseem gurmani, Yes it is somewhat similar to that. Don't worry, it's just a formality.

@hamza, It's a good book and the teachings of morality and values are the essence of our society and religion. There is no harm in choosing it.

@Noor Ul Haq2009, Your choice seems fine. Read it thoroughly and prepare for questions like, 'what do you like the most in the book?' or 'what is it in the book that you don't agree with?' and if available, try to read some reviews on the book.

dear if u have chance to meet her again then avail it bcz it ll give u much more info abt her life and Raja gidh as compared to interview. Anyway if u like to listen her interview,search on youtube "Interview of Bano Qudsia and Ashfaq Ahmed ", there u ll find a interview conducted by NAIM Bokahri.it has more than one part.u have to search in which part she has discussed raja gidh.
You tube is nt accessable for me ,otherwise i wud have sent u direct link.

can any one opt book of poetry for example khushboo by Parveen Shakir etc

@ Tadap

"Khusboo" is a good book but in my personal opinion:you should not opt a romantic poetry book.

Iam also a poet and after reading the said book i use to feel emotional and mental depth.as i have written poetry as my hobby so want to be relevant in areas.

correct me if wrong.

@ Tadap

Dear i think to prove oneself as a future CSP one should have rationale and practical approach. As a poet if you want to go for a poetry book then why not "Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Habib Jalib or Allama Iqbal's poetry. I mean their is objectivity
,purpose and massage in their poetry along with romance.
In my opinion it will engender a much better impression of your personality.
Hope that you will understand my views.

Can u please suggest some model answer for these questions as well

Most of these questions are related to your own aptitude and behavior and should be answered naturally, however my answers could be like:

Why do you wish to go for CSS?
It is a dynamic, stable, fast track career giving you pride and prestige where one can serve his country as well as earn a respectable living.

What are the three major charms of this job in your mind?
Serving the people, Honour and prestige, Job security

Don't you think you are depriving you country of a professional (If you are an engineer/doctor/lawyer etc.)?
There are many in the queue and my career switch may come as handy opportunity for some other fellow.

Why do you prefer to go for __ group?
That depends on the group: PSP may be your choice for uniform and adventure, the role of Police in immediate service for common man etc.

If we give you some other group, what would you do?
I will avail my remaining chances (If any more chances left for CSS), however you people are the best judges.

If you fail to get any group in CSS, what would you do then?
Here one should have a well thought out plan-B (e.g. continuing education and then progressing in one’s own field etc.)

There is so much corruption in bureaucracy, what woud you do there?
There are many upright officers and I will follow their footsteps. I believe there is better opportunity for good officers here.

If you work under a strict but corrupt officer who asks you to do unlawful things, what would you do? (If you reply that I will not do that) Then how will you survive?
I will stand by the principles of honesty and uprightness. I have a huge career in front of me and a few hurdles can’t stop me from achieving my ultimate aims to excel.
