coaching for engineering entrance exams , along with with tutions for boards and not to mention
catching up on school on regular basis also. This resulted in a hectic schedule for me with little time left
for self-study. This alongside took a toll on my health physically and mentally too. I failed to strike a
balance between the two, miserably failed to manage my syllabus and end up loosing on both the sides.

keeping in mind limitations and capabilities, avoid hurrying towards making decisions with incomplete
analysis , be self – analytical and not to made decisions based on hearsay basis.
