Hello everybody !
Hope you are doing great . Wanted to share with you all some good news ! I have secured an All India Rank 28 in the Indian Forest Service Examination 2016. IFS is one of India’s three All India Services , the other two being IAS and IPS. Eagerly look forward to being at the cutting edge of forest management and public services in India, and doing my bit whole-heartedly for Mother Nature 🙂
I have to thank you all world over profusely for your amazing blog posts, discussions and comments over this period of 1.5 years while I had prepared for the exams. They were such beautiful rejuvenation moments and welcome breaks from the pressures of books. Nature photography, poetry, food tales, travel trails or sheer personal expressions and anecdotes, each of your creation helped me grasp new perspectives and appreciate life !
Would be sharing my preparation strategy and interview experience at UPSC for future aspirants soon.
Till then, love to all and thanks once again for being the amazing bloggers that you are 🙂
Cheers,
Aishwarya
Congratulations! All the best 🙂

A very special thanks to you V 😊😊 and going by the number of interests we have in common , might just see you here in near future as well 😀 And really, would say I got lucky because there are so many awesome folks out there who also write these papers. Awaiting your snake post, and will read up the new one, it had been quite a long while I suppose.

Aww that is the best thing I have heard, AR (thank you honestly ☺)
And about getting lucky, I will say, you must be aware of this that people admire you for your excellent career, blogging or photography skills, while yes I absolutely admire all of that but it’s your humble nature that’s the best. Never change, AR or you’ll just turn into like everyone else.
Yeah I’m actually working on snaky post now! Yes it had been a while😭
