What made your day ?

Neyawnsaid

So I had these two kids writing to me for two years now. Two sisters. I replied as much as I could, but they never failed to write to me after every blog post I wrote. 

After two years, I happened to take a mock session with one of the kids. I was super excited given that I had never seen or met them, but it was just a long chain of emails over several months, if not years.

And what I saw took me by surprise. The kid was 99 born and first attempt and first interview. I had thought it was someone who would be struggling for years.

It kinda made my day to meet such young kids writing the exam ans reaching this stage.

Till now, the youngest candidate (but remarkable ) whom I remember interacting for interviews was one  Pradeep who is now in Bihar cadre.

I can clearly see that younger people are way smarter and sorted. I look at the generation I am from and that kinda begins from 85-86 born to 89 borns and I find them much less sorted and clear than the current folks.

And then it dawned me that next year onwards I will have candidates born in 2000 appear for the interview the first time.

A whole new generation of millennials.

I find this true in my interaction with younger sibling and her friends. I guess what the oldies miss(and long for) is their exuberance and confidence.

Gen Z talk of winning the world, bagging titles, growing network.

In contrast, the millenials have already been humbled by failures, carry a baggage of unaccomplished dreams and their close network grows shorter by the passing year. They have seen too much happening around them to care about winning the world.

Guess wisdom comes at the cost of energy (that has gone into experience). 

To still celebrate my millenialhood, I take pride in being better equipped to take pressure, handle further setbacks and be happy that everyday I am writing a page in my life's story. My sibling to me every morning "How do u do it Aapa?"

Finally not waking up in the middle of night from headache. Coming to know what probably was causing headaches from last 3 weeks. Excited to resume studies in 1-2 days (hopefully, fingers crossed 🤞). And realizing "health is wealth".
