My last prelims...

So, finally i gave my last prelims of my life. though it has been an exhaustive tryst with UPSC but surely not less fascinating. It was on 23rd of may on a scorhing summery afternoon in ahmedabad. I was lucky to have witness the toughest paper of general studies in the history of UPSC. All this days i was on an " academic vacation" surrounded by plethora of books right from khushwant singh's latest to ancient historical literary. Though i would like to leave UPSC with a winning note but then wont lament if land on any side. Its been a delightful journey and I am lucky that i made this choice to be a part of this collosal examination considered the toughest in the world.

Insecurity prevails i know that but "risk to saala spiderman ko bhi lena padta hai hum to phir bhi insaan hai ". I know planning always helps to create a better future but the best things happen when it is unplanned. Try it sometimes.

Jeffery Archer was in bombay few weeks ago and I would like to share some excerpts from his speech. He is basically an avid fan of cricket and was commenting on the significance of working hard with respect to talent in terms of cricket. He said that, " If you are talented and you work hard then you can be Sachin tendulkar, if you are hard working and not talented then you can be Rahul dravid(i know rahul is talented but it is his opinion and we need to respect individual differences), but if a person is talented and not hard working then he is a pauper ".
