Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

This exam has its own way of humbling you.
.
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
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.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
And..
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
Worked for a marketing agency

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