Board exams are approaching and it is a scary time for students. There is a ton of pressure on the kids to score well and to get into a good college.
How do I know? Well, I gave my 12th Boards in 2013, that’s six years ago, but I still remember how big a deal it was made out to be. “Bina baat ka hauwa” (mountain of a molehill), is what I would call it. I got okay-okay marks in my Boards, probably because I was never interested in science or maths. I always had the inclination towards literature, arts, politics and all other things that were not considered mainstream per se.
But today, I am working at my dream job and in my journey marks hardly mattered!
