I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
All the best!
The batch sizes were huge!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

Why do unattractive men assume that a pretty woman like me want them?
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
It is almost impossible.
All achievers in their own way.

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.
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
Why is my hair dry but greasy at the same time and falling out? What can I do about it?
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
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.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
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.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Keep your ego aside.
Is having white skin really that attractive?
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).”
And..
I was alone in Delhi back then
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Anyway!
Worked for a marketing agency
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Searched for my roll number.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
I was constantly staring into the ground
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
And, I had not made it.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
And entered the park.
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).
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
I did not go back to my home.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
“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.”
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
I vividly remember that evening.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
But, then it hit me hard.
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
