I cried today. Not a little. Properly. 🥹 A few months back, a student messaged me. Third attempt. Second Mains. Less than a month left. Her Essay was stuck at 107 and she had worked hard on it, but there was no one to tell her what was wrong. And she was just thanking me for our free initiatives without asking me for any help! Then she wrote the line I still can't forget: (Read the chat posted) She wasn't asking for anything free. She was only thanking for all free courses and some tips! Think about it. A girl who could not afford a course was worried about being unfair to me. TBH, I am not ultra rich. But I have given 6 attempts myself. I know what it feels like to sit alone with a copy. Something in her message hit me right in the gut. So I asked her: "Can you afford 100 rs? I will pay the remaining fee." Her reply and rest is History!🙏 Today her message came: (check image) ❤️ You have already repaid it. This is what a teacher lives for. Some of you will ask, why not just waive the fee? Because even if I own the product, there is a whole team behind it. Their effort should not take a hit because I made an emotional decision. So her seat was paid for, like anyone else's. It just came from my pocket. Not everyone who studies with me becomes a ranker. But moments like this are why I never stopped. Now, the interview. We fight it together! P.S on a lighter side: I don’t usually do this, trust me i am not that rich 😂

One Anthropology student told us that sorting through good answers took too long, and after our Anthropology Toppers Copies compilation, "my work has become 10 times easier". Read the message here. Not everyone who writes to us becomes a ranker. But hearing that the work got lighter is why we keep making these. Diwali is two days away.
