Searched for my roll number.
I looked around me

I did not go back to my home.

Worked for a marketing agency
And, I had not made it.
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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
But, then it hit me hard.
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
I was alone in Delhi back then
It lasted approximately 10 months.
Found an empty bench..
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
I vividly remember that evening.
“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.”
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
The batch sizes were huge!
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
I was constantly staring into the ground
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for 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).”
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
