@Malcolmin other states and cities atleast people are well aware of civil services. There's a craze. Many people take the exam. Here most of my relatives keep wondering why, after a 5 year law degree, I remain still unemployed. hardly people know how difficult the exam is or how many stages it has!

If you search for my phone number in trucaller, its shows as myname_ias. Someone who knew me must have saved it as such in their phone from where trucaller got it. With new technology come new ways of making CSE aspirants embarrassed.

@TeddyWestsidecongratulations.

@Shy_guyblock..ultimate solution

To everyone who is bothered by repeated questions of peers/parents/friends/relatives

I have just one tip for you:
Have confidence.
Not that you will clear it.
Just that you are chasing/chased what you want to do.

Answer with overwhelming confidence that you tried and could not clear (if you couldn't)

One of my friends once commented that "ab tum nahi kar sakte"
since I could not clear in 4 attempts.

I just asked him one thing:
"Tell me a single goal in your life that you have chased"
An awkward silence followed then
His reply was "I got married" (Sach ye tha k he loved someone else and married acc to his parents wish)

So it does not matter, and even if it does a little bit.
NEVER DESPAIR!!

Be so frigging PROUD of yourself that you tried something while so many among us are just dead fish flowing in the stream.

I have personally seen that when I reply confidently to people that "I am unemployed" stumps far more people positively than sheepishly saying "preparing for the upsc."

So just have confidence no matter whatever comes.

@MycroftHolmesyeah, wear all your attempts like medals.

In my case, i have kept my UPSC journey a secret. Only my family knows about it.

No relative, not even my best friend, no shit.

This was my 3rd attempt and first mains. I did not do well and pretty sure that I won't make it. But I can still feel the excitement while waiting for the result.

@vision2020

That's the spirit man. My best wishes to you.

Even i am not confident about this time but still, let's see.

Gotta make it in the next attempt.

@STsahi kaha bhai, the journey of upsc definitely teaches us one thing i.e being humble

@Katsumoto

My case is different altogether.

I have not said to anyone about what I m doing. Plus I have requested my parents also to observe silence. I m kind of living underground n have vanished from public space.

Benefit is that there is cushion for failure.

Negative is that it makes me complacent at times. I feel some pressure is must to drive you to success.
