Keep your ego aside.
And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
