    Devendra,

    hi admin
    thanks for your sincere reply to my comment. i check ur site once in a day to learn something new. but u update this site in 5-7 days. i loose my interest when i see that the site is not updated with new gk questions. though i understand that everyday updation is cumbersome. i suggest you to update every 2-3 days.
