After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
I did not go back to my home.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

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.

What are some life hacks for living on your own?
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).

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
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.
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Worked for a marketing agency
But, then it hit me hard.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And..
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

All achievers in their own way.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
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.
I vividly remember that evening.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
Anyway!
