After my UPSC results, someone came up to me and asked: “Now that you’ve succeeded after a long journey, you must have learnt a lot of lessons along the way. If you were to meet your younger self who is starting his preparation just now, what advice would you give him?”
I wrote this speech trying to answer that question. I titled it Letter to My Younger Self and delivered the talk recently to a group of bright, enthusiastic aspirants at the Ravindra Bharati Auditorium in Hyderabad.
Sharing it here so that it reaches those who couldn’t attend the event. Hope you find it useful.

Hello sir,
Life is sometimes very cruel but at the same we tend to forget it teaches us very important lessons as well.
I am a tax assistant in CGST DELHI and fighting very hard to prepare for CSE. I would like to request you to pls share your time table/ schedule as it is very difficult to prepare with regular job and due to some circumstances I cannot afford to go on EOL.
Waiting for your reply,
All the very best for FC
Stay Blessed
Warm Regards

It is very motivating sir. The speech that you have delivered is very valuable and boosted me up to start preparing without the hesitation of being imperfect at first(“start imperfect”). That example of pot was really good. I will keep it in my mind. Thank you so much for motivating and giving us a right direction.
???glad to see your reply! Your my inspiration.
I didn’t make notes from newspapers but read them carefully. I’d make a mental note of important recurring issues. I would do this exercise for a week and then on a fine weekend, I would just sit and go through 7 days current affairs compilation from CD/Forum/Insights (choose as per your liking, all of cover the same content anyway) As I read these online compilation, I used to highlight important things so that they became my revision material when I refer to it later.
