CSAT 2013 MEMORY TRICK :





Imagination is the key. Just imagine the story given below and visualise the characters, objects given in the story after reading it. Try to recollect them by closing the eyes and associate each character or object with the Indus valley sites

One day MANDAKINI (actress) went to do research on Indus valley sites and was chased by a villain in KASHMIR. She fought back and threw a ALMIRAH on him (ALMIRAH GIRAYA). Then she locked him inside it and threw the almirah toUttar Pradesh. Her anger did not subside and so she took the almirah with villain inside and immersed it in a big DAM shouting BADMASH BADMASH in bombay (maharashtra) …..Then she took out the villain put him inside a SUITCASE (SUITCASE ke ANDAR) and threw it to pakistan.



MANDA = MANDAKINI (KASHMIR)

ALAMGIRPUR = ALMIRAH GIRAYA (UP)

DAIMABAD = DAM BADMASH (MAHARASHTRA)

SUTKEGENDOR = SUITCASE ke ANDAR (pakistan)
