Pranam A joker kena Former chief manager BSNL strains to copy on someone's current materials of the west and ZNorth and if that is strain, he is too old to and is bound to err. Q1to Q4: & Q5 to 12: Same Q & A appeared few days back where I also questioned Vandana sarada etc but his strain too much is witnessed; hence a kena who is questioning repeatedly himself. sankaracharya etc are added strains. And all the rest is revision conducted by the strained for the retold examinations. And so many wasted words. Ayurvedic oil may reduce the strain sir. KR IRS 23322
