I have met many people during various stages of my life. Today I am going to talk about one of my friends whom I met recently as he was out of town while studying his bachelor’s. As he was studying civil engineering from Patan, he was out of town from where I live. As soon as he graduated he came back. We used to know each other from earlier days itself but we don’t have any contact as he was quite out of the state due to studies and all other reasons. But as soon as he completed his graduation he came back as it was his hometown. We met during last two years before. It was quite a summer as I was going out. As soon as I got out I met him. We discussed various sort of things. He was preparing for the GPSC exam. There are various people I know who get difficulty in solving papers for this. But as far as I am concerned and I know how intelligent he was from the prior his schooling days, he was getting a good score from earlier days itself. As soon as he completed his graduation he started applying for the exams which were related to him and the fields which interest him. As soon as he applied to almost 5-7 exams he gave two exams for reference and as he was aware about the format and everything after getting no about the exam, he was able to crack exam which he was interested in on the position of in the third attempt itself. It is quite tough exam I can say. Various people took number of years to get into the position he has been now. We are still meeting each other and discuss various things and the approach he followed was very good.

I have met many people during various stages of my life. Today I am going to talk about one of my friends whom I met recently, as he was out of town while studying for his bachelor's. He was studying civil engineering in Patan, which is why he was away from where I live. As soon as he graduated, he came back. We used to know each other from earlier days, but we didn't have any contact as he was quite out of the state due to studies and other reasons. However, as soon as he completed his graduation, he returned since it was his hometown. We met during the last two years. It was quite a summer, and as soon as I got out, I met him. We discussed various things. He was preparing for the GPSC exam. There are many people I know who have difficulty solving papers for this. But as far as I am concerned, and I know how intelligent he was from his earlier schooling days, he was getting good scores from the beginning. After completing his graduation, he started applying for exams related to his field of interest. He applied to almost 5-7 exams and took two exams for reference. Since he was aware of the format and everything, after getting to know about the exam, he was able to crack the exam he was interested in on his third attempt. It is quite a tough exam, I can say. Many people take several years to reach the position he has achieved now. We still meet each other and discuss various things, and the approach he followed was very good.
