So… that one paper didn’t go as planned?

You walked out of the exam hall like a tragic Bollywood hero, staring at the sky, asking “Why me, ICAI?”

1. It’s Just One Paper, Not the Whole Bhagavad Gita

Look, in the grand scheme of CA exams, one paper is not your destiny. You don’t need 100/100 in every subject.

Remember, ICAI is like that unpredictable aunty at weddings, you never know which subject she'll bless you in. You might have aced the next paper without even realizing it.

2. Don’t Carry the Ghosts Into the Next Battlefield

Dragging yesterday’s disaster into tomorrow’s exam is like wearing a wet sock to a marathon. You can cry after exams ,preferably with pizza and Netflix.


3. You’re Not a Calculator. You’re a Warrior.

Stop calculating marks like Sherlock on caffeine.
“3 marks from Q1(b), 4 marks from Q3(a), and if ICAI is in a good mood…”
Let ICAI do the math. You do the prep.


4. Redemption is Always Around the Corner

Maybe you think you flopped. But remember last attempt? That guy who cried outside the exam hall? He cleared. And that topper-looking guy? He’s reappearing.


5. Your Career Is Not a One-Paper Judgement

One bad paper doesn’t cancel out your sleepless nights, your sacrifices, or your dreams.
Failing forward is a thing.


To Sum It Up:

* One paper went wrong? So what.
* Next one? Show up like a beast.
* ICAI? Surprise them with your bounce-back.
* You? You’re not just writing an exam. You’re writing a comeback story.

Now get up, take a deep breath, sip that chai, and show the next paper who’s boss.


P.S. Don’t forget, the person correcting your next paper doesn’t know your past trauma. Give them a reason to smile.

Wishing You Strength and Hope,

—Your partner is chaos and peace!

Hey beta,

Tomorrow’s the Day!

So, the exam is tomorrow. That one paper you’ve read, revised, re-revised, dreamt of, cried over, fake-laughed at, and fought with.

But guess what? You’re still standing, with highlighters in one hand and Maggi in the other. Respect.

Now, let’s get real for a moment.
You don’t need all the answers today. You need your mindset in place. Remember, even Dhoni didn’t hit sixes in the nets every day. But when it mattered – he finished it off in style.

That’s your job tomorrow. Keep calm, read the question, and don’t panic when the paper is 10x easier than expected – it’s a trap. Read again.

And yes, there’s always that one guy in the exam hall who finishes in 1 hour, looks around like he's in a cafe and leaves smiling. Ignore him. He probably wrote his email ID on the answer sheet.

You? You are made for bigger things.

Tonight, keep your books aside after a decent revision. Get good sleep. Eat light. Don’t revise till the gate of the exam hall like you are about to enter a war zone.

Just breathe.

This is your moment. No one else will sit for this paper but you. And no one else deserves to clear it more than the person who didn’t give up when it was hard -“you.”

So tomorrow, go with full josh, full confidence, and a heart that says, “I’m not perfect, but I’m prepared.”

All the best, future CA. Let the Institute do their part. You have already done yours.

All the best❤️❤️

CA Exams 2–3 Days Away:

Welcome to the “Brain Buffering” Zone

Congratulations! You have officially entered that magical phase before CA exams where:

- You forget your own phone number

- You revise one topic thrice and still feel like it’s a stranger

- Your family switches from “Beta, padho!” to “Beta, bas ab bhagwan pe chhod do”

This is not stress. This is tradition.

Let’s address a few things, student to student (or rather, survivor to survivor):

1. That syllabus you think you didn’t complete?

Let me break it to you—nobody has ever actually completed the CA syllabus. ICAI just gives us the illusion that it’s possible, like unicorns or unlimited Wi-Fi.

2. Your brain right now?

It’s like a laptop with 72 tabs open, and one of them is playing music but you can’t figure out which one. It’s okay. The fact that you know you’re panicking means you’re still in the game.

3. Sleep is not a crime.

If someone tells you “I’m not sleeping till exams are over,” gently hand them a pillow and say, “This is how mistakes happen, Ramesh.”

4. Motivation levels?

Some days it’s “I will crack this exam and change my life.”
Other days it’s “Let’s open the book and see what happens.”
Both are valid. The syllabus doesn’t care if you’re a warrior or a sleepy potato—as long as you show up.

5. Exam Hall Tip:
When in doubt, write neatly. If your answer doesn’t make sense, at least it should look like it does.

You have studied. You have sacrificed Netflix, social life, and in some cases, basic grooming. That’s enough. These next few days, revise smart, drink water (not just caffeine), and believe that you are not alone in this jungle.

And remember: even if you walk into the exam thinking “Bas Bhagwan bharose,” He’s been watching you study at 2 AM with Maggi in one hand and a calculator in the other. He knows you’ve got this.

Go get them beta!!

And if no one has said this to you recently,

Let me say it loud and clear

“I believe in you.”

“I am proud of you and I love you. “❤️

Hey beta,

First of all , if you’re reading this, you’ve already proved one thing:

You haven't given up. And that's what legends are made of.

Now, you're just 5 days away.
Five.

F-I-V-E.
The same number of fingers you’ve used to pull your hair while studying Ind AS 115 and Section 69.

(And don’t worry, the hair will grow back. After results.)

Let’s talk about your feelings right now:

- Anxiety Level: Breaking the scale.

- Revision Status: Somewhere between "I’m confident" and "Bhagwan Bharose."

- Energy: Running on caffeine, hope, and the occasional nervous breakdown.

But pause. Breathe. Listen.
You are way more ready than you think.

You might feel that you don’t remember anything.

You might feel others are better prepared.

You might feel you should've started revision in 1847.

But the truth is simple:

Every CA student, at this point, feels the SAME.

Here's your 5-Day Battle Plan:

1. Stop studying like a tourist.

No sightseeing. No jumping from chapter to chapter.
Pick important topics. Revise smartly. Play like Dhoni , cool head, killer instinct.

2. Accept imperfection.

You will never feel 100% prepared.
Even the topper who'll score 80% is feeling underprepared today.
It’s normal. Don’t panic. Play your innings anyway.

3. Focus on writing, not just reading.

You’re not giving an Open Mic. You’re writing a paper.
Write, practice speed, and make your hands move faster than your mind's overthinking.

Final words:
You don’t need magic.

You need faith in your months of hard work.

You need courage to face the paper, even if it looks like a horror movie.

5 days to go.
5 days to show.
5 days to grow.

The CA degree isn’t gifted to the perfect , it’s earned by the persistent.

And you, my warrior, are almost there.

Now go , fight your beautiful battle.

I believe in you.

Dear CA warriors,

You're 7 days away from being that version of yourself. The one who didn't give up.

Here’s how your 7 days are probably going to go — and how they should go:


Day 1 – Panic and Planning

Realisation hits: “Oh my god, I still haven’t touched XYZ topic.”

Don't worry, even AIR 1 is probably rechecking if they know Section 80GG properly.

Mantra for the day: Plan, don’t overthink. And no, now is not the time to make colourful flowcharts.


Day 2 – The Great Mood Swing
You cry. You laugh. You suddenly remember a meme and laugh more. Then you panic again.

Totally normal. You’re human. But remember:

Mantra for the day: Study in emotions, not because of them. Channel it, don’t drown in it.


Day 3 – Topic Hopping Olympics
“I’ll do this first. No, wait. Maybe that. Actually, I’ll start with something easy. Wait, have I eaten?”

You need a break from overthinking, not from studying.
Mantra for the day: Pick a topic. Stick to it. Finish it. Clap for yourself. Repeat.


Day 4 – The Self-Doubt Show
The imposter syndrome enters like, “Tu CA banega? Hahaha.”
Shut it down. You've worked too hard.

Mantra for the day: You don’t need confidence. You need focus. Confidence comes after results, not before.



Day 5 – The FOMO Fight
Everyone on Instagram is suddenly a philosopher.

Motivational reels, perfect desk shots, and mock test scores.
Mute. Unfollow. Block. Your only competition is your own yesterday.

Mantra for the day: Eyes on your book, not on someone else’s story.


Day 6 – Revision Rage
You realize: “I knew this. Why does it look new again?”

Because CA syllabus has trust issues. It shows its real face in the last week.

Mantra for the day: Don’t aim to read everything. Aim to recall whatever you read.


Day 7 – The Final Push
Butterflies in stomach. Palms sweaty. Mom shouting “Doodh pee lo.”

Good. It means you care. Now channel it.

Mantra for the day: 7 days can change 7 attempts worth of pain. Go all in.


A tiny whisper from me to you:

You’re not behind. You’re not too late. You’re right on time to surprise everyone ,even yourself. Show up. Show guts. Show magic.

Now go. The world needs more CAs with heart, hustle, and humour. Like you.

“What If I Forget Everything In the Exam?”

Ah yes, the classic night-before-exam thought:
What if I enter the exam hall and suddenly forget everything?

Like the pen, my name, the spelling of depreciation… life itself.

Welcome to the world of overthinkers—where we spend more time imagining disasters than actually reading the chapter.

I once revised a topic thrice in one day, and still Googled “Is it normal to forget everything after studying?”
Google didn’t judge me.
But my brain did.

Here’s the thing,

overthinking is just your brain’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m scared… but I care.”

You wouldn’t panic if this didn’t matter to you.
So that anxiety? That’s love. Twisted, dramatic love.

But guess what else is true?

You won’t forget everything.
Your brain has stored more than you realise.
The effort you’ve put in, the mock tests you took, those underlined sections—they're all there, just waiting to show up when it matters.

So when the panic hits, do this:
- Breathe
- Drink water
- Tell your brain: “I’ve got this, bro. Chill.”
- And get back to revision like the exam warrior you are.

Because overthinking never wrote an answer.
But you will.

And the day results come, your future self will laugh at all these “What ifs.”
Just like you’re smiling right now.

Now go. That last-minute revision won’t read itself.

So here we are. 10 days to go. You’ve officially entered the time where relatives mysteriously stop calling, your chai consumption triples, and your bed starts giving you “miss you” looks.

But jokes apart, this is the final stretch, the time when miracles happen, and so does *maximum panic*.

Let me tell you this straight: You’re not supposed to know everything right now. If ICAI had wanted perfect humans, they’d have hired Iron Man.

Now here’s what I want you to remember in these final 10 days:

1. Revision, not reinvention:
This is not the time to fall in love with new study material. This isn’t a buffet—don’t try to taste everything.

2. You don’t need motivation. You need momentum.
It’s boring. It’s tough. But you didn’t choose CA for glam.

3. Sleep is not your enemy. Neither is food.
Skipping meals and running on 3 hours of sleep is not a flex.

4. It’s okay to cry. Just don’t unpack there.
Cry if you must (heck, even Arjuna had a meltdown before the Mahabharata). But after that—get back.

5. You are not alone.
Thousands are sailing in this storm with you. Some calm, some chaotic, some crying into their tax notes. But all trying. Just like you.

Sending virtual chai, a hug, and a reminder:

“This too shall pass.”

With belief in your journey,
Rucha Sarda
(Just another person who believes you’ve got this!)

Dear CA Warrior (yes, you with the messy bun and highlighter-stained fingers),

15 days to go!

Which means 15 days of caffeine-fueled brain marathons, midnight meltdowns over “yeh kab kiya tha?”and telling yourself “kal se pakka serious study”for the 12th time.

But guess what?

You’re doing better than you think.
You're showing up every day—even when your brain says "sleep" and your heart says "Netflix."

Let’s be honest—if CA exams were a relationship, it would be toxic.

But you? You’ve stayed loyal. You’ve fought. You’ve grown.

And no matter how scary it feels right now,
remember—nobody remembers how tired you were.

They only remember that you passed. That you made it.
And you will

So wear that panda-eye look like a badge of honour.

Take that one-hour nap (yes, guilt-free).

And tell yourself:
"I’ve survived RTPs. I can survive anything."

You’ve got this.

CA exams may be tough—but so are you.


I will see you soon,

With all the belief in your future (and a little extra for your theory subjects)
