Arre, it's not that you've become average, beta — you've simply stopped running a race that no longer exists. In coaching, we were all training for the same narrow gate, but college? It's a whole open field. You're not meant to sprint on grass the same way you did on a track.
I realised this only when I stopped chasing the old toppers and spent one whole monsoon semester helping a friend build a library app for our village school. My marks dipped, yes, but that project... kya baat hai, it’s still being used. That's a different kind of topping the class, you see?
