What are these skills and how do they help?

All of us fortunately possess these important skills which, knowingly of unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously, we apply everyday in our life. When we study, play, travel or walk on the road, we use these very skills, By practice, by solving puzzles, by applying our learning and our knowledge in various situations, we develop these skills.

Why do we need to learn these skills at an early age?

It is never too early to learn anything. You have to take exams, such as ‘Olympiad’, ‘National Talent Search Exam’ and many other exams. This book will prepare you, directly or indirectly, for all such exams and the bigger exam of, life itself.

It may prove to be a boon for the young scholars and may help the honourable members of the teaching faculty to guide these ever-eager-to-learn and inquisitive students.
