This is a story of a boy who was no different than other boys. The things he like to do was to be a game changer in every field. He wanted to be at top in every aspect of life. He was greedy with his childish dreams to conquer the world with no sword in hand but big dreams in mind.
His introvert nature gave him the recognition as an sincere student and a good boy but he was as naughty as other children of his age. As we expect, like other Indian parents, his parents were protective about their children and more precisely because they had already lost their one son in an road accident. Now the boy was not allowed to play outside as his parents doesn't want to loose their other child. The boy didn't knew the pain of his parents because he had his own, his own pain for ruining his childhood within the boundaries of his house. The only entertainment he had was to peek outside the window to see what others are doing.
What others are doing, this impacted him so much that he forgot everything that he could do alone and he became the part of the rat race to follow others, which was earlier denied to him. The loneliness left him with no hobbies in life.
Being a part of rat race was not easy for him. In later part of his life he fought with his parents to be part of that rat race. He choose all those options which were denied by his parents whether it was preparing for IIT-JEE (a prestigious exam in India for engineering college entrance) or preparing for CIVIL SERVICES EXAM. As I earlier mentioned he wanted to be a conqueror, he tried those things in life which was the most difficult for his capacities. As a grown up now he can analyse the things with 3 failed attempts of UPSC and no major success in life that the time he spent in his window peeping outside world from his small world was easier and this easiness used to pinch him in the childhood. But life gives you result with some lessons. After this bitter self introspection and giving one more effort with regret of his past life mistakes he cleared the CIVIL SERVICES EXAM with a decent rank. He was posted in his home cadre. Now the parents were living with him in his government quarters. But this time it was different. All his loneliness with which he was fulfilled finally vanished no where in the world but with his parents but in new house. Such an irony!
But after so much failure for seeking revenge of his childhood's loneliness he conquered with one thought in life which learned over a period of time, which was...Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
