ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This book is just a drop of essence extracted from the ton loads of wisdom shared by people around us Two names hold the most dominant position in this regard: Sir Manzoor Mirza (late) who taught us the baby steps of essay writing and Madam Salma Khatoon who perfected our essay writing through her tireless mentoring. Though there have been so many people who influenced and helped us during our journey of CSS but specifically with regards to essay writing, Sir Humayun Ahsan (PAAS) and our dear friend Mirza Waleed Baig (PAS) pruned our essay writing skills by paying personal attention. Moreover, Nabeel Riaz (PAS), Arslan Zahid (PSP), Zafar Siddique (PSP) and Bilal Hassan (CSS 2019 qualifier) provided a constant support to us. We're also thankful to Abrar Butt (PAS), Shafaat Ali Mirza (PCS) and Waleed Ashraf (PAAS) for contributing essays to this book. Finally, yet most importantly, our families, who extended both moral and material support to us, deserve our appreciation in the most unequivocal terms.
