The Unsung Heroes

By | July 7, 2015

Every war story has two parts to it: the victors and the vanquished. Such stories celebrate the champions, yet they recount the fortitude and the grit of the conquered. UPSC is one such colossal battle— not only of very high stakes but also of very fine margins. But what makes it distinct is, in this war, there are just victors.

Heroes are created out of thin air and promising careers are decimated beyond repair. Victors are cherished long after they cross the Rubicon while the vigour, valour and the valiance of the very many brave martyrs simply die away— untold, unheard and unsung.

    These are words that reflect the deep inner pain and struggle that one goes through when all humongous efforts in the course of the battle amount to naught. I wonder what makes all the difference between the victor and the vanquished .Probably it’s Monomaniacal unwavering Focus, deep wells of Grit,loads of hard work in the right direction and a sincere belief in oneself.
