Self-doubts creeping in With a few days left for CSM 2026, one doubts his/her capabilities. Whether the syllabus is completed, what if I’m not able to write anything at all, what if there’s a brain fade, what if i fail to complete the paper, what if, what if! I won’t give you any false impressions, i won’t even fill you with false positivity, i would like you to assess just these things- “Given the time you had, did you become a better candidate?” “Did you give your level best and atleast tried to cover all the grounds?” If the answer is yes, then it doesn’t matter what happens next! The answers will pour from your mental reason, you’ll be able to complete the paper decently. Wrote a bad answer, move ahead, don’t let it spill on the next one! Wrote a mediocre Gs paper? let it be, next one is waiting for you. You won’t be having time to repent for the loss (if there is any at the first place). Our mind brings out the worst parts and subdues the good parts when you get anxious. Don’t let that happen. It’s a part of the process. For next few days, don’t think that you’ll score this much or will get a top rank. Do what’s needed out of you: Give your honest attempt! Be your best self. “Let go of control you think you have in first place.” Hojayega, khayal rakho! ✨🌻
