One of the lines, often used by@Neyawn sir in his writings during the exam time, taken from the excerpt of Rashmirathi
याचना नहीं, अब रण होगा,
जीवन-जय या कि मरण होगा।
Good luck to my old and new fellas who cleared prelims this time. I didn't appear this time but was rooting for you all. You all are brilliant irrespective of the prelims result.
Various regulatory bodies' exams are on the card in the coming days/months and for those who couldn't clear it, the opportunities are nigh! Please keep the motivation high.
Please pray for my RBI mains tomorrow though. Good luck!
