I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I looked around me
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

But, then it hit me hard.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
Cleared multiple of them
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

Searched for my roll number.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Found an empty bench..
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Dropped them
I vividly remember that evening.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
All the best!
And, I had not made it.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
It is almost impossible.
Keep your ego aside.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
