| A | My contention was that one can read the e.version. |
| B | Read any version, brother. Newspapers must be read. |
| A | Why do you advise it so strongly? |
| B | I advocate reading of newspaper strongly because most of the students focus only on their Board exams or class tests. If they cultivate the habit of reading newspapers, their knowledge of the world will expand. In the future, they will be in a comfortable position to prepare for any competitive examination including the IAS examination. |

| B | That’s nice. |
