I have always wanted to be the story of those 99.99 percent who don't make it to UPSC or to something else which they were meant to.
The world likes to tell the story of .1 percent.
Everyone wants to be that .1 percent.
Nobody knows what happens to rest of 99.99.
I am their story.
Most of the comments below my posts are always, UPSC failure ( which funny enough is not a failure, coz it's an exam. Some clear it soem don't. All the comments are from who have never attempted the exam and will never clear prelims either.)
But it does get me knowing, why UPSC or other such exams or pursuits are such a burden on our society.
I appeared for an exam 10 years ago. I am labelled of it till date.
Which is what happens with all the kids doing it.
Which is why those hell holes of Delhi survive coz those kids can't leave once in.

Warren Buffett turned 96 on August 30.
This year is a little different. After decades of running Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett handed over the CEO role to Greg Abel earlier this year.
A couple of years ago, we spent nearly 8 months going through 47 of Buffett’s shareholder letters and turned them into a 10-part Varsity series.
The interesting part about these letters isn’t just Buffett’s stock picks. They show how his thinking evolved over the years — on buying businesses, valuing companies, dealing with market crashes, capital allocation, management, mistakes, temperament, and of course, the influence of Charlie Munger.
Now, with Berkshire entering a new era, it felt like a good time to bring this series back.
If you want to understand Buffett beyond the famous quotes, this is a good place to start. Check the link in the comments.
“I don’t stake more than 2-3% of my wealth in trading.”
“I never feel stressed after losing money. I may feel for 5 minutes but as Churchill once said - you will loose many battles to win a war.”
