Another example for importance of reading hindu, yesterday there was a question about Visvesaraya and today morning we're having answer for that. One can argue it came one day delayed, but I'm sure some other article would've come in the last one year. So I strongly recommend to read widely apart from coaching notes to write quality answers in mains.
Sir Visvesvaraya was also trending during elections due to political reasons #allrouundawarness is imperative
As I share a lot of my ideas and thoughts with the aspirants, I feel I should share this too.
Have you ever thought that you've been disadvantaged? Ever thought that God hasn't been particularly kind with you? Or you think why is this happening only with me?
I think many of us ask the above questions. Most of the time we think why is it only happening to us. Or we feel that for the amount of hardwork I'm putting in, why I'm not getting the desired results?
I'd wish to introduce you to the group 'We are one'. This is a group of alumni of 'Amar Jyoti Foundation'.
AJF is a school for students with special needs. On Wednesday we had a session at LBSNAA to sensitise us about persons with disabilities. Shouldn't say that. Persons who are differently abled.
So what did the troupe did?
How many of us can dance bhartanatyam? A few I believe. How many of us can dance bhartanatyam on a wheel chair? I can understand that you're thinking is it even possible? Even I had the same question until I saw the troupe doing Bhartanatyam on wheel chair.
We all love music right? A good tune makes us dance. What if you're hearing impaired? Can you still dance? But 'We are One' showed they can. There were girls danced for bhartanatyam and we all thought they're just like us. Only later we came to know that they're persons with hearing challenges. And they danced, and danced so well. I was just mesmerised.
Think, they can't hear music but they made sure every step there's an absolute coordination.
Finally, they emphasized on few points
1. We don't want mercy, we are hungry for more opportunities
2. Disability is just a state of mind
3. Everyone has some kind of disability. Few can see them and few cannot.
And the highlight of the event was when the differently abled people did Thang Tha. A manipuri martial art. Just hats off to their guts and practice.
To excel at such a level I know they'd have put hours and hours of hardwork.
See them on YouTube or Facebook. They'll surely inspire you to work harder.

Dr Sudharshan is a friend of mine. He has cleared the CSE with AIR 571. He'll be able to guide those aspirants who need special attention towards mains.
Hey guys. How are you doing? Mains over, so I hope you have had a view on the question paper. Strategize your prep in the direction of the questions.
BTW even at LBSNAA we had mid term exams 😂. Exams have become a part of life now. 😂
I hope you give a push now. People who have started their prep by June, this is the time to do answer writing. By now you should have had a reading of ncerts. If not please do it soon.
We're on a trek to himalayas. Will share you my travel diaries. Hope it inspires few. Prep well. Atb

Happy Diwali to all. Want to write a detailed account of everything that had transpired over the last month. Will soon do. BTW, we may get an opportunity to ask questions to the Hon'ble PM. So if you guys suggest few questions, which is sensible and could be asked to the PM, I'd consider them. The topic will be on civil services in India. So shoot your questions if you've any. The only criteria is it should be sensible, should match the stature of the PM and not put anyone in any uncomfortable position.
Writing something after a very long time,
There are a lot of struggles everyone goes through. There may be times when you thought why is this happening to me alone. There may be times when u feel whatever hardwork you've done is not delivering its results. All I can tell you is to wait and wait patiently. Today I'm here not because of luck, but because of hardwork and a lot of perseverance.
I had to resign my job to start my preparation. Insecurities started the very moment. My savings had started to disappear. Life outside was moving very fast. Friends of mine were going to USA and Canada and wherenot. I was struck in a room and traveling daily to coaching classes, one after another. Insecurities started to grow when my very own cousins started earning more than me and making international trips. By my 1st prelims in August 2016 all my savings had disappeared, missed the weddings and bachelor parties of many of my friends, gave up totally on seeing movies and web series, uninstalled Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat and everyother social media site to limit my distraction.
Sailed my 1st prelims successfully. But before that I used to doubt myself so much. I did have a plan but all I could wish for is that the plan doesn't falter. So I had to review them again and again.
Wrote my 1st Mains. I was confident that I would sail through mains through and hence went to Delhi for interview preparation. When results came by Feb 2017, I didn't clear. Sat and analyzed where I went wrong. Had my prelims strategy clear, so it was only mains. Improvised on every aspect. Insecurities started to grow as i was hundreds of miles away from my family in a completely different cultural milieu. Tried making new friends, slept in bed full of bedbugs. Changed my sleep cycle, lost weight etc. Since all my savings were eaten up, started doing freelancing works. Used to get 40 rs and 50 rs for questions on current affairs, banking etc. By this used to make 6k every month to meet my expenses. Life was tough. I
Few weeks before Prelims 2017 the marks of 2016 Mains came. Got 784 while the GEN cutoff was 787. This was where i did a major mistake. All I thought was to get 3 more marks. My aim in 2017 mains was to get those 3 more marks. So did I get ? Yes. My 2017 Mains score was 789, 5 marks more than 2016. But was it enough? Nope. 808 was the cutoff that year. Failed again.
Cried a lot. Cried before my parents. THought giving up on everything. took a month gap to think what did i really wanted in life. My father was in tight financial condition. So it kind of added more pressure.
As the saying goes:
Ever tried, ever failed? No matter, TRY again, Fail again, Fail better.
During the tough times it was my family and my fiance who kept on supporting me. I applied for few jobs and finally took up teaching current affairs part time at Shankar Ias academy while was preparing simultaneously. Had to review every small mistake i did with mains in the last two attempts. Spoke with few toppers to really know the strategy for Mains. Worked towards that.
Sailed 2018 Prelims again and went to Delhi after Prelims results. Resigned the only source of income I had. Like millions of youths in India, was unemployed. Borrowed money from friends as I felt it shameful to ask money from my dad. Worked on my weaknesses. I'm a very self critical person. So I started everything from scratch for 2018 mains. Decided on something and just kept on working on those no matter what others said or did.
Post mains, came back to chennai. Applied for teaching positions at various institutes. Didnt get a response for a long time. FInally started teaching for 400/hr. Knew this is peanuts for the hardwork that I had put. But kept on saying myself that your time will come.

On the day Mains results were declared, I got a good job offer. Declined it to prepare for Interview. Went back to delhi during peak winter. Got severe cold and fever before my interview due to the change in weather. Interview was on 21st Feb. On March 4, had the physical and medical test for CAPF AC Post. On March 5, I joined Gradeup in Noida, Delhi. During 2018 I had applied for RBI and NABARD exams, but couldn't clear both. Went to the extremes of frustration.
On april 5 I was actually taking an online class on YouTube when the results were declared. Life went through a serious makeover. Never imagined that I'd top a state when all my life was an above average student. College was even worse, had 10 backlogs.
Why I'm saying all these?
Everyone has their fights. Everyone are not privileged. Everyone face insecurities. After all everyone of us here are human beings. By color, creed, caste or language we might be different. But inside all of us is 206 bones and red blood cells.
Winston Churchill once said,
Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
If you think you want to give up, think again. If you think you can't do it, then you can't. If you don't enjoy the process, you wont learn. On top of all, if you don't have courage to face the failures and come over them, you won't have stories to tell on your success.
This is a marathon race. So keep on running. Success aint far. Goodnight.
