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.

Hi Sir, I attended that meet only because you were the chief guest there and I must say it was one of the very good addressals I had ever witnessed. I had also asked you a question on optimal solution for UPSC coaching and you gave the best reply! Thank you and wish you all the best.
