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

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
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.

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
In case you are wondering, how did my story end?
“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.”
But, then it hit me hard.
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
Cleared multiple of them
I did not go back to my home.
Anyway!
I was constantly staring into the ground
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.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

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

Dropped them
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
“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).”
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
All achievers in their own way.
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

I looked around me
