I believe it was a very conscious choice to appear for Civil SERVICE Exam. I belong to a family of state and central civil servants, so somewhere the inspiration to be one myself was right at home. My BIGGEST inspiration has been my father who is respected by all as an honest, upright and efficient OFFICER in the State Government. Dinner table conversations have many a times, been about development, administration and issues therein. Secondly, I was keen to be in a profession which offered me a wide platform to work in law, policy and implementation.

My legal training actually strengthened my resolve to sit for this examination. Thirdly the syllabus of the civil services exam piqued my interest, particularly the general studies papers. Keeping all these FACTORS in mind, I eliminated other career options in law in fifth year of law school so that I would never regret the decision of appearing for this examination. I was fortunate that I got a mentor in PUNE, Shri Aashay Abhyankar, who along with his family, has played a stellar role in my success.
