Zara's Diary

It took me almost an entire year to come back with the promise I made long back. The following are some of the important points I think you’d like to go through if you’re an aspirant for any upcoming examination. (This can be a comprehensive extract from the post I made in Mizo language previously). (If you’d like to know what questions they asked me in the interview or what topics/books I concentrated on, or how I planned out my study routine, or if you have any other queries, feel free) Books studied - I always wanted to be a writer. Not a conventional writer, but a unique one…one that ladles out all deeply ingrained truths that have been vested upon by some other interests. I thought my first book would be – the road to success of the toppers of School Board exams, State Service and Central Service, etc. Their days of glory are usually short-spanned among the crowd.

I got my first birthday wish.           - My elder sis called.  - A friend (who is very dear to me, who looks up to me as her big brother. And I think highly of her too) called me. I had to hang up to attend a meeting at The DC Office. The birthday message she conveyed was too sweet to be true. Thank you. - Another friend called me to enquire about one of the professors. She wished me a Happy Birthday before hanging up.         These are the birthday ca...
