[COLOR=black][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Dear you are well aware about my status (I am also candidate like you in this attempt and we do have some common facts too). So I can’t pass comments with confidence on your given title. What can I do is to suggest you same thing which I liked for myself. That is “[B]Perception of Art - in the eyes of various Artists”. [/B][B]This was the title I assigned to it in the paper. One can’t express opinion with certainty before the result is out. Even then we can compare some samples to draw a conclusion. And the same exercise has been carried out in the following thread of which you were also an active participant.
[url]http://www.cssforum.com.pk/css-past-papers/css-2009-past-papers/23325-paper-2009-precis-2.html[/url]

Even then you have floated this question again which is an evidence of the stress level which you are experiencing in these days. Don’t take tension brother, we all are in the same queue and we should do our best n leave the rest. [/B][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]One tip: I always strive to assign a broader and all encompassive title to the précis in my paper. This trick saves me from complete failure and to a great extent I have been successful in this strategy. I applied same methodology in this paper. Let’s see what are the results.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Though your title is not totally irrelevant but one main thing is missing which in my opinion is the essence of this passage i.e. “Art”. Had “art” been covered in your title I would have great comfort to keep it on safe side.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

Dear Asif
What is done is done.
You cannot change what you wrote in that half an hour or three hours on that day in the examination hall. I am sure you gave it your best shot. Don't try to second guess yourself. If you do that, you will become a nervous wreck.

Just relax, wind down, and think positively. Life does not end at failure or success at CSS. I would suggest you follow the age old phrase
"Hope for the Best - Prepare for the worst"

If you do think you have committed mistakes, try and learn from them.

Precis
 

well gentlemen,
here comes my precis:

There is a dichotomy between the two distinct forms of philosophies of aesthetics; yet supposes on inherent dualism that is not readily apparent. Further, there is an illustration of two supposed anathemas; the arts and rationalism. Altough, it does not make its position clarified.
Summing up, Plato, Tolstoy, Wordsworth and Shakespeare, all condribute to the canon of western thought.

The title would be:


Converging Arts and Philosophies
