Rochika Garg IRS ,AIR 174

More importantly, Those who could not make it to the list. It is very hard to put this feeling into words. I myself failed one prelims and one mains. I know it’s not easy to see all your hard work going to drain. It shakes you from within. Your physical and mental health takes a toll. Trust me they are all genuine feelings and you should own them. But at the same time it is important to learn from it and get up again. This never give up attitude is what defines us(upsc aspirants). Take your own time. Cry , Talk to your friends and family. They love you and are proud of you irrespective of your results. And I for sure , am really really proud of you. Because you had the courage to take this exam and serve the nation when many cannot even think of it. Have faith that if you have right intentions and are ready to improve and work on your mistakes then you will be successful in life. The resilience which failure teaches makes the taste of success sweeter. And this setback is a preparation for your future life. So make the most of it. Just don’t give up because somebody else feels that you are not made for it. You alone can write your happy ending, if not through this exam then with something else. I reiterated these line that I wrote after my failure to myself- Jab Aapki haarte ho toh wo haar sirf Aapki hoti h Par jab aap Jeet te ho toh wo Jeet Sbki hoti h To is haar ko sabki Jeet me badalne ke liye ye haar jaruri h .. And remember गिरते हैं शहसवार ही मैदान-ए-जंग में, वो तिफ्ल क्या गिरे जो घुटनों के बल चले!! Yours Rochika Garg P.s. feel free to reach out if I could be of some help.

Those who made to the ‘holy PDF’ 2024- Many many congratulations to you. 🥳❤️ It will always be one of the most memorable days of your life. Your hard work and perseverance finally paid off. The feeling of relief sinks in. All those sleepless nights, self doubts, sacrifices finally borne results. Enjoy it , cherish it but at the same time have gratitude for all those who stood by you during the tough times. Almighty, your mentors, family and friends who deserve this success as much as you do. The people who supported you when nobody else could are the biggest gift of your life. Keep them safe. And remember it is just the first step that you crossed. Be humble.Focus on your ‘WHY’ and contribute positively in making our nation a developed one.😇 P.s.Now the real personality test begins 🙌🏻

*Prelims postponed* With prelims postponed by 20 days, don’t loose consistency. Take this as an opportunity to bridge gaps and prepare tough areas better. Solve and analyse PYQs- this is the most important part of prelims preparation. If you are a veteran , you can also give around 10 days to mains - optional / essay etc. But don’t loose track of prelims as it is the most competitive and uncertain stage of exam. All the best everyone. Happy studying ❤️

Thought of the day- You have to ‘grow through’ what you ‘go through’ . This thought has been with me for quite a sometime now so I thought of sharing it with you all too. It is true for both good and bad times in our lives. The bad or difficult times gives you more opportunity to grow, learn and evolve into someone better , stronger and mature. But even in good times you must continue to grow and learn. If you are able to handle both the times with equanimity and remain confident yet humble , you will be truly successful then. This was a small lesson which I learnt from my journey from being an aspirant to an officer. Happy studying ❤️
