Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
All the best!
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
What are some cool confidence hacks?
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.
Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
Found an empty bench..
Thousands of students swarming in Old Rajendra Nagar.
