Her UPSC Journey

She was disappointed with the result. Having a brilliant academic record from the past now facing such failure was beyond her acceptance. But her sister played a big role in it and calmed her down. Then she explained that ups and downs are a part of our life. We should keep on moving for ultimate success.

Waqt aane par Tujhe, bata denge aye aasman….Hum Abhi se kya bataye kya hamare dil me hain. ”

When the time comes we’ll prove it to the sky. Why should we tell you now itself, as to what’s there in our hearts?”

“Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil me hain”.
