"Koi baat nahi..it's your first day. But always remember the aim with which you have joined here.", I touched her feet and left with my physics book along with me. I was already late and it was raining heavily and I got a bus only twenty minutes after my class began.

I got down at Azad chowk and ran to the center. But someone has rightly said 'when it rains it pours'. I was informed by my seniors that 11th standard was conducted in Kamdhenu. With Google maps directing me the way, I was walking in the rain. I somehow reached my destination. In the lift I met my math faculty Professor Sunny Singh and considered myself lucky that even he had reached late due to heavy rain. He showed me the way to our classroom.

I was in Batch 2. Which consisted of both Jee and Neet students who had physics and chemistry lectures combined. My first class was math and I could still see myself as the most active student in the classroom.

I hardly had any interaction with anyone in my initial days. It was my WhatsApp username that made me. Tanish Bhai for everyone, some assuming it to be my surname.

Other than Paresh and Sushant, Achintya, yess!!! The third boy of F.R.I.E.N.D.S in Batch 1, was another friend of mine there, whom I often met in breaks between lectures.

As history stood, the B1 batch has always been the elite one. So was the case here. Our batch (B2) was a very noisy batch and every faculty had difficulty in taking a proper lecture there. There were hardly any serious aspirants. But it is always difficult to find them in the beginning. Whispers began whenever the faculty turned his/her back towards us while writing on the whiteboard.

And the worst part, we were always compared to Batch 1, who were brilliant in studies. Every second or third lecture we were motivated by the teacher but hardly anything affected the group of those NEET aspirants at the back, who always whispered and gossiped....
Our tests began in the month of August and so did the decrease in our performance. I failed to reach the three digit mark after the first test. I always felt embarrassed to share the result of any of my test with my parents. But my pa was always supportive. He kept on encouraging me to perform better next time.

In October Paresh was sent to B1 and there his behavior changed. He showed many noticeable changes which caused me and Sushant to 'kind of' stop talking to him. By November rumors occurred that I and Tejas might go to B1 as well.

Hard Work pays off were Sameer sir's words, who was our mentor, Physics faculty and also the owner of the academy

. Initially, I didn't want to leave my batch. It was said that B1 is better than us not only in studies, but in other things as well.

One of which was the four girls, who always stayed together.
