I am writing after a long time after joining LBSNAA, completing Foundation Course and Bharat Dharshan. This time I have nothing new to offer you. Just want to boost the confidence of all aspirants.
I am telling you a very sad story- but its true and seen by me. UPSC is unable to judge the best person. Many people who join the services do not deserve these plum posts. Their only ambition is to make money in life. The worst thing is that they tell this opinion publicly after joining. They drink and smoke heavily. They think that they have cleared UPSC by their shear hard work, but they forget that it is the blessing of Guru Nanak and well wishes of parents which have produced this result. In fact, my view is that they should thank God for every moment they are getting after getting into the services.
On the other hand, UPSC fails to induct some of those who are honest and will remain honest thorough their lives. And people think that those who are sitting there, can judge a person in first glance itself.
It is clear from my views that country needs hard working persons. So, work hard and do not worry if UPSC does not allow you to enter into the system once/twice or thrice. Because as I said, UPSC even after such a rigorous process, do not know who is to be taken and who is not. So, keep trying. And also keep your morale high, do not think of getting into smoking or drinking. It is my firm belief drinker or smoker can not be a good public servant.
Think about those revolutionaries who are unknown but they laid their lives for the service of the nation. Just think how many people have seen the dream of a free country where no one sleeps with empty stomach, where no child will become a rag picker. If you have a dream of becoming a millionaire, go for IIM's and become billionaire legally, why you want to go for illegal means.
My views may sound radical or too much revolutionary but I feel these thinkings should be imbibed in every probationer's mind during training at the academy, which is not at all the case. Academy in its joining letter has written that those who will be found drunk, their services will be terminated there and then, but on the other hand, academy has opened a bar inside the academy only.
So, do not let your principles go away even after getting into the services. Come here with a motto to serve and not to rule. In fact one should be more calm and polite after joining services. Work for the nation. Try to think that God has chosen you to do the welfare of common man who is suffering because of the system.
I must caution you that this path of thinking against injustice is not an easy one. Standing against injustice requires a lot of courage. You will be left with no friends in your career. But at the same time you will find that you are not alone. There are some good persons left who are still working for the country honestly. But still many a times you will feel:
" Jo Rah Hamne Chuni Thi
Us Mein Dost Nahi Milenge,
Per Yeh Na Socha Tha Kabhi
Ke Apna Saya Bhi Sath Chhod Jayega"
Nevertheless, work hard to get into the system. After getting into it, do not forget why you have joined services. Do not indulge in bad habits. Always remember your aim of doing maximum welfare of
"Aam Adami" who is downtrodden and had not seen any morning to have a good breakfast.
With these words, I leave.... Do your best to get into the system but remember the real challenge is after you are into the system. The biggest challenge is to stay alone and away from the bad company,because it attracts. Never let any type of problem force you to drink or smoke. Face the problem till it vanishes/disappears.
May Waheguru G make U an IAS Officer.
