one of my friends scored terribly in jee mains and couldnt even clear cutoff for

jee advanced, so naturally he decided to take a a drop and let me tell you he
worked hard like a madman…i used to watch him study for 18 hours every single day

his mom told my mom that his routine was making everyone in the family worry about
his health. Like she told us that he used to wake up and without a second thought
open his maths books and solve questions for the next 5 hours up until 10:00 am and
then quickly finsh up his breakfast and start with physics…everyday same routine
and every saturday Sunday 6 hours test jee adv and mains level depending on his
preparation level. Now you might just day dream about having such a packed schedule
which lays down a path to success but he lived it. Then after 8 months of dedicated
self study like this (not to mention he had completed his syllabus in the first 2
months of the drop year itself with that schedule which is quite believable and
admirable) finally came the day of reckoning …since i was his building neighbour i
was with him during his preparation time as a friend and also on his result day
along with his entire family. Jee mains was pretty easy for him he said (can you
believe it, 8 months back he was terribly shot down down by the most gruesome
setback in a jee aspirants life- not being able to CLEAR jee mains- and look at him
now)

So undoubtedly he score a whopping 290 in jee mains with 100 in maths.

# just a slight addition- he worked his ass off to master mathematics to a level
where he was just unbeatable…like legit he knew answers to some questions even
before he looked at them. Funnily he had scored 8 marks in his previous attempt.

..moving on..he immediately started with advanced prep after his jee mains first
attempt. Worked for freaking 15 hours on problems ranging from irodov to pathfinder
in physics..SL loney to a-das gupta in maths and even some serious INMO level
questions..foreign authors for chemistry and honestly i dont even know the names.

finally the day of jee advanced-

he was relaxed but his parents were a little tense (naturally) he gave his first
paper, didnt say a word, which worried his mom (so she told us) and then geared up
for paper 2…looked happy after that.
before the result day description…lemme tell you what he did in that one week gap -
this crazy ass lad went on a solo trip to himachal (i laughed when his dad told me
that he has gone out of station-ALONE)

came back after 6 days and next day was result day

we’re all gathered around his dinning table cheering for him..i even heard his
father tell him “ki agar IIT mei comp sc na mili toh IIITH mei toh counselling fees
bharr he di hai, no tension, we are all proud”

but destiny had other plans for this metal man.

the result downloaded …he read “congratulation you have cleared jee advanced …” and
boom he looked up and saw his rank and screamed at the top of his voice -AIR 36 IN
THE HOUSE!!!!!

we all hurrayed at the top of our voices, lifted him in the air while he cried…my
eyes captured a beautiful moment of his father’s eyes filled with tears which as
the man of the family he did let roll down his cheek…it was insane!

so thats that …hardwork beats the shit out of failures hand down

he studied comp sc from iit delhi and got into harvard for his masters. So kudos to
him
