 Hello everybody, I am Thirukural, all India rank 8 in Indian Forest Service examination 2018. I have taken forestry and geology as my options this time around. Education wise, I am an electronics engineer from Madras Institute of Technology, after which I had worked for one year before quitting and joining preparation. So one thing I would like to say is this is not an individual victory, meaning my own personal efforts alone were not enough for the success. Especially I should acknowledge the role of Shankar sir who has been an immense support to me throughout all these years back from 2014 when I had started preparation. So this is my third attempt overall and my second attempt for my second interview experience. And all these years Shankar sir, Rajitamam, Kartikeyan sir, Ganesh sir and Arun sir have been an immense support to me in reaching this milestone. This time around I have I made my preparation more structured. I have joined classes in Shankar academy for forestry and geology and Kartikeyan sir for forestry and Rao sir and Huzain sir and Rao sir and Huzain for geology. They have they have done a great job in preparing me for this examination and its ups and downs. And ultimately I should recognize the roles of my, role of my friends and family, especially my mother and who has done a great job in supporting me and right from when I quit my job till now my families and my mother's support has been a huge part of this victory. Without it this victory would not have been possible. So finally I would like to leave you with one thought to people who have written this examination many times like me. So if I can do it so can you. Thank you all the best.
