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

I was alone in Delhi back then

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Searched for my roll number.

500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).

But, then it hit me hard.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
