Wrote something directly from heart today 👇🏼


You are an aspirant. You spend days in a closed room. You study. You live isolated.

You think you’ll be there within months. Standing outside Dholpur house. Clicking a picture in Zed-black suit flaunting your new tie. Life will be good. You will soon be on your way to Mussoorie.

But there is a roadblock. Uncertainty. You learn to live with it. Or you try to, at least.

The wait of months become a year. Just the next attempt. You know you can make it. But then, once again. You summon your powers. You go all in! One after the other.

Days became months.
Months became year.
Year became years.

Attempt after attempt, nothing changes

But something does
You become fatter
You start losing hair
You see your parents ageing
You see your friends win
You love them but
But you want to win, too.
But you do not know how!

On such days, look around.
Why did you start?
Why can’t you quit?

Who told you, you are a loser?
It is all in your mind.

You can always bounce back.
Either in next attempt or in other field

Sometimes Zed-black suit picture becomes royal.
Sometime you want to see it never again.

That’s life. It happens!
You win some. You lose some.

How to win more?
Take more shots. Do it, whatever it takes.

WHATEVER IT TAKES. 💪🏻
