thank you madam…..

Thanks for the much needed inspiration. 🙂

You are such an inspiration Ma’am
-
True that.
-
Thanks a lot Mam …. Life is indeed much much more than UPSC and being an IAS … one should take this exam and carrier in this context and stop criticizing oneself over failures or even looking too much into success … m going to keep this i mind

Thanks for sharing ..

Thanks Mam. Very inspirational. It amazes me that even though most aspirants are busy enjoying after clearing UPSC, you took out the time to help future aspirants. Your book on- Ancient and Medieval History is truly a one stop solution for aspirants like me who never felt confident in history.

Dude that’s what she’s trying to say in the whole article. I guess you lost the plot. Your definition of failure cannot be compared to others and her failure to yours or to others you have mentioned. Point is how and why not let failure overwhelm you. It’s not an article on how to ace UPSC in last attempt.

Without study just before mains I gave Ignou paper n got 75/100, but after preparing for last 2 years, failed in this mains exam.Hurted a lot.

With due respect mam, (not to anyway denigrate your achievements or your post). Please don’t kill me 😛
You were able to qualify for railways in the first attempt itself. Your idea of success was to get into elite post of IAS, IPS or IFS.
But for many people, they don’t have any backup jobs .They have given multiple no. of attempts without getting a rank. Their failure in mains is way bigger than your definition failure. Your failure seems more like a ‘first world problem’ compared to failure of the people I’m mentioning 😀Frankly speaking, I was expecting a story where someone was able to qualify for IAS in the last attempt.

Excellent patients.

Thank you mam..That was really motivating….We have overburdened our life and have made this exam as exam of life and death..But life is really bigger than this exam and also it is not the only exam which can decide our caliber and capabilities.. what we can do is to work hard rest leave it to the almighty…Taking too much pain have made us demotivated and remorseful….Sometime you win sometimes you learn…Stay motivated and positive..You will surely cherish this phase later in life…I firmly believe that only we can give pain to ourself…If you decide not to give pain to your body then no exam or nobody can hurt you or pain you..Good luck

Madam,
though in my imaginations I was expecting a decent rank but couldnt clear mains… i was like chill.. theek h just an exam… then saw this post in my gmail.. thought u will inspire..
but ye jo last line h naलम्बी है ग़म की शाम
मगर शाम तो है |isme na shaam se jayada importance gum ko de di aapne…
koi gumm itna bada nahi hua ki ki shaam ko sirf shaam bana de..
hope u r living to fullest…
PS: I know certain people who are in services just by luck.. We can discredit individuals but certainly not UPSC as an instituion..

Truly Inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences…
