“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

I lacked a mentor when I needed one.

“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.”

If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

Found an empty bench..

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I was alone in Delhi back then

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…
