I would leave upto the moderators here, what needs to be done.

Now for your question, check the ctime or newer option of find command.
you would get this information from the man page.

Well. I think everyone is correct.

Normally, "read the man page" is not an acceptable answer, because folks here are expected to be more helpful than that. What I often do when the answer calls for some man page research, I post (quote) the relevant part of the man page in my reply.

On the other hand, if the question is asked and the person who asked the question shows no interest in reviewing the man page, or showing that they tried on their own, there is little reason folks should take their time to answer.

So, I suggest that shantanuo should review the man page on find and then post his attempts, which is what others seem to be suggesting. At least show you read the page and tried....

Hope this helped.
