Sab halke halke dare hue hai
Sab uncertain hai aur haan,

Irrespective of the type of paper tomorrow,

Own your exam.

Donโ€™t come out crying about tough level, weird CSAT, unpredictable public service commission type thoughts

You had time.
You had resources.
You had to study.

If you studied, tumhe pta hai.
If you didnโ€™t, tumhe pta hai.

Haanji!

Kal aapke saalon ki mehnat ka hisaab hai.

Har wo late night study,
Early morning anxiety,
Circumstances ka pressure,
Society aur parivaar,

Har wo insaan jisne tum par shaq kiya, uska jawab kal apne gyaan se dena.

Jao apni Bal Buddhi Vidya lekar aur Jeet kar aao! โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
