I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
It is almost impossible.
And, I had not made it.
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.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
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 did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

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…

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
