On 5th April we had crossed the mental threshold from being aspirants to officer (trainees). The ‘war’ had been won (for the time being). On 7th April this week, The Viral Fever released its new web series ‘Aspirants’ on YouTube. It is a series presented by Unacademy revolving around the lives of UPSC Civil Services aspirants as the protagonist struggles with his continuous attempts to clear India’s ‘toughest examination.’  The series comes from the makers of Kota Factory a poignant depiction of IIT aspirants struggling in Kota, which released last year and will soon be coming back with a second season.

[A year since the Foundation Course at LBSNAA, Mussoorie, Uttarakhand. A year since I realized ironing is more important than washing.  Here's to all my lovely batchmates, seniors, colleagues and everyone at the Academy- and the ones who will be.  - VG Dec 2020]  There's a bunch of us that Mussoorie binds Among clouds of mist and mighty minds The Queen of Hills as the folks would say I was sent to 'the Academy' for the FC in UK.  Never had I been to the town they praised Where coy new crowds to cogs-in-wheel were raised It's been a while but seems like yesterday When I commenced my FC in UK.  My foundations needed to be founded fresh Discipline needed to be drilled deep in flesh Lethargy and nonchalance to be thrown away Well, they tried their best at the FC in UK.

Parantu iss do gaj ki doori mein ungli utthana Iss haath ki kya haisiyat jo likhta hai Aina toh dekh le ek baar tu bhi ae Haraf Ab naqaab tera dikhta hai.
