And..
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
What timeless pieces do you believe every wardrobe should possess?
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
I looked around me
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
Are you able to lie, even though you have Aspergers?
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

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.”
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
Why does Taylor Swift endorse Harris when Harris supports open borders?
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
All achievers in their own way.

I was alone in Delhi back then
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

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.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Searched for my roll number.
What made you feel satisfied about your life today?
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
The batch sizes were huge!
And entered the park.
Why do I feel so tired all the time even after a good night’s sleep?
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.
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 was constantly staring into the ground
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
It is almost impossible.
Why are men so attracted to big breasts?
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
All the best!

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.
Dropped them
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
Your credentials do not matter!
Found an empty bench..
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
This exam has its own way of humbling you.
Worked for a marketing agency
“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 had not made it.
Anyway!
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
“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.”
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
Keep your ego aside.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
But, then it hit me hard.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I did not go back to my home.
I vividly remember that evening.
