Anyway!

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

Do you think there will ever be a movie that features a line such as “You graduated at the top of your class in liberal arts, we need your help”?

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

Keep your ego aside.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Found an empty bench..
