If your name is not on the list

Dear Comrades,

If your name is not on the list, I know how heavy the heart feels. I have been there.

You gave it your all — the long nights, the silent mornings, the sacrifices, the dreams. And still, it slipped away. It’s not fair. It hurts. And it’s the way I felt it too. Felt disheartened.

But let me tell you this —

This should not be the yardstick to judge your preparation. In this exam some dynamics are way beyond our control.

Many who wear the badge of a topper today were once in this very moment — broken, questioning everything. But they stood back up. Not because they were special, but because they believed their dream was bigger than one setback. Remember when the goal is larger than life then God will test you in the same manner. Take this as a challenge to work harder.

This is not the end. This is a bend.

But don’t stop Because the fire in you is still alive. Let it burn brighter.

You are still meant for greatness.

And the next time your name appears — it will be carved with resilience, not luck.
