The batch sizes were huge!
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
But, then it hit me hard.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
