First of all, you have every right not to agree with my opinion. Secondly, major problem in essay lies in the fact that everyone recommends differently for tackling it. After getting opinions from different Professors and CSPs, I have compiled my own rules of essay writing. But, still not fully satisfied in some topics and still in search for "what to write and what not to write" as you have already mentioned relevancy is the key for essay writing. Certainly, I will share that topics with you. By the way, have you discussed essay writing tactics with some good teachers or CSPs or you are preparing on your own? And one more thing can you share that PILDAT report as I'm writing essay on water crisis?

Yes ,I am taking guidance from professionals.
Just Google PILDAT report on water and provincial conflict you will find out easily . Currently , I don't has this one in my hard ware ).

Doesn't matter if you don't have. I will search it. It means these professionals have guided you that in every problematic essay one must write causes and solutions irrespective of whatever the direction may be given in topic.

To be honest, it is my conviction but I was appreciated by two of them for this approach. Never the less it is one art and appropriate choice of words to make relevancy even one can make the antithesis in favor of one's argument. for instance, I mentionthe legal frameworkas a solution, which you find irrelevant, but I have a strong argument about how the ambiguous laws related to water, which is scarce resource without substitution, the inefficiency of Council of Common Commission and absence of a water policy created mistrust among provinces and how politician has been exploiting the situation and what is way forward to achieve a harmony under legal framework. (in that way my argument colored with the shade of given aspect that in national unity and water shortage)

The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.

I appreciate your efforts. You have good knowledge about it. But keeping in consideration the sensitivity of this subject, I always take it seriously. As every year large number of aspirants fail in this paper and certainly there are reasons behind it. The foremost reason is even a little bit divergence from main topic. These days, I'm devoting my maximum time on essay writing as in next month on 5th November, I have to face essay paper for the first time (PMS-Sindh) and I want to pass it. Actually my purpose for coming on this forum is that "we can collectively formulate effective techniques for essay writing which can help us in passing this paper in our first attempt". So, never think that I'm just here to prove you wrong. Infact, we will always learn from each other by sharing impressive strategies and discussing different topics.

There is no way to acquire the precise strategy for this because it does not exist, but one can touch the realm of accuracy (which again interwind with a number of factors). There is no fixed formula for CSS OR PMS and when one comes across ESSAY no way at all. The simple solution is to approach all credible sources available to one, listen to only those which sound logical and cogent, adopt which suit you and cut them strategically according to the need of the time.

Leo, we should bear one thing more in our mind. Easy writing is an art to write or construct ideas instantly, sitting in the examination hall, so how one should tackle if one does not have enough relevant arguments, here one's general abilities come to action to customize one's ideas (whatever come to one's mind on the spot). This is the very art one has to acquire.

For instance, you have one topic Women's political status in pakitan you must be able to write against or favor of it. Even though I have to write in a particular direction I should aware of the holistic perspective.on which I am going to pen.

1.so, if I have to prove how Women' political status has ascended I will subscribe following ideas

• women political quota has raised 17% in national and 33% in the local sphere since 2001, and how it benefited women related laws
  
• participation of women in political gathering and demonstration
  
• quoting some reports and studies(national and international level) which evident that how the political status of women has raised within the country

If I choose to side with otherwise, I will subscribe following facts and approaches

• women have been the victim of socioeconomic discrimination because of low political representation since inception although quota has been fixed for them, in absence of direct constituencies, this quota is filled by kith and kins of political leaders. Hereby, it seems women are as least represented as before.

I am so sorry to post/comment irrelevant question, but I have to ask. Is this forum user-friendly?
I have been suggested to use this forum regarding acquiring necessary information about CSS exam, but I posted something and did not get any response....

The post was:

Hi all, I want to ask you guys to recommend me a book covering US History from Pre-1492 era to present day. Now not everyone has the ability to absorb the history, especially when it's not written in simple way. I once saw that book "Story of Our Land and People" by Glenn William Moon, in which I read few pages and I managed to understand the whole story how Indians got settled on land, now known as USA. It was written so well and the story was so simply explained that it gave me impression that it might be for Elementary level students. Now I looked for that book at million stores and even asked my friend who's in UAE for it, but not any luck finding that.
I want that kind of a book for a person like me, which covers the basic background of Pre-1492 era to present day in a very simple way. Just High School level! Simple written and explained with easy vocabulary. please guys, suggest me any such book. I shall be very grateful to you.
Thanks
