During the latest interaction, Goswami, an IAS officer of 2016 batch, told the students, “Why to create self-doubt?” Sharing their concerns about studies and preparation for competitive exams at the dinner, he told them to identify their strong as well as weak points, and to improve the weak ones.It was the second programme of its kind, the first being on January 26, which was the 75th Republic Day.On a question by a student, Kripa, about anxiety before exams, Goswami said, “Self-doubt and anxiety within limits are good as they activate your sympathetic nervous system, leading you to indulge in fight and flight mode. But do not take anxiety to the extreme level. From flight mode, you you reach the fight mode.””Keep anxiety to a certain limit and take deep breath when you feel your hands are trembling,” the collector advised by referring to to a conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjun in Bhagwad Geeta.Recounting his own experience as a student in Kota years back, the collector said he never got name and number in test series during two years of his preparation in Kota for entrance exam for admission in medical college.But he never got worried, he said, and added that he avoided creating self-doubt.”God opens several doors, so why to create self-doubt?” he told the students.At the dinner, while holding a mike, Goswami sang the old Hindi song ‘Aa chal ke tujhe, main le ke chalun ek aise gagan ke taley’.The coaching students also sang with him.In the first event of ‘Dinner with Collector’, Goswami had dinner with coaching students in a hostel in Landmark City area and gave tips of success.The collector sang the same song with the coaching students and cut a cake on the occasion of Republic Day.
