It is almost impossible.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Searched for my roll number.

The batch sizes were huge!
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
All the best!

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
I did not go back to my home.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I was alone in Delhi back then
Anyway!
