In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
I vividly remember that evening.
You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
All achievers in their own way.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Keep your ego aside.
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
