I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
And, I had not made it.

“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
Found an empty bench..

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
