after 60 days are not Current Affairs, they are some old news replaced with
newer and much more important news.

Simple, follow the BOUT.

Now, the Bout contains current affairs of a certain period
of time which you need to study. No More, No Less.

BOUT: If your exam is on 1st January, then you
need to study current affairs from October 20 to December 20. Nothing more or less than
that.
