Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
I was constantly staring into the ground
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Can someone write me a sex story?
I vividly remember that evening.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
All the best!

And entered the park.

Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).

So, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.
Found an empty bench..
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?
I did not go back to my home.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

Anyway!
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Boy, 8, dies hours after complaining of headache when infection spread to brain - The US Sun
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.

Keep your ego aside.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Your credentials do not matter!
I looked around me
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
Which Nike sneakers provide a "bona fide bounce"?
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
And..
“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Searched for my roll number.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
All achievers in their own way.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Worked for a marketing agency
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
The batch sizes were huge!
It is almost impossible.
And, I had not made it.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

But, then it hit me hard.
.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“But, it is nearly impossible for one to predict who will make it to the ‘holy list’. Yes! I can say that if an aspirant who has done X, Y, and Z can increase their chances of selection, but it is just not enough. There is always a matter of luck (or, probability).”
