C-what are your choice for services
Me- IPS IAS IFS IRS
C-why IPS as it is getting tougher day by day?
Me- my dad is serving state police officer ...and basic reason is that I have always charm for Uniform.There is a respect attached to your rank uniform and position. People treat you with a huge amount of trust they expect that justice will definitely be received here. They are positive that there is someone who is going to solve their problems.

C- . What are the qualities your father as a police man gives you?
Me: Sir, discipline, punctuality ....he interrupted in between...and extended me to lmember 2 and gave smile
C- what r the best ways to develop self discipline according to u?
Me- Start by picking small easy things and try doing them for a set period of time. As you accomplish them, build up to things that are harder for you to do. When you get to the point where you are not able to achieve the thing you are working toward doing sit back take a deep breath and look long hard and honestly at why you are not getting there. mental strength keeps getting stronger as you train it. It takes time. Thats why to build a habit it takes over 30-40 days But once you can build or change a habit it gets easier to change another.
