India, June 28 -- A woman's honest post about her journey from IIT Kharagpur to failing the UPSC examination has struck a chord on social media. In a post on X, Harini Reddy shared how the exam "completely humbled" her, leaving her feeling lost before she eventually rebuilt her life and career.

Reddy recalled growing up in a farming family and how her father's dream of seeing her become an IAS officer shaped her childhood. "My father is a farmer and my mother is a homemaker.
