13 is an unlucky number... we all have heard that. But only those who have lived with this tag know how true it is... Who are these unfortunate souls? They are the post-school year drop JEE aspirants in Kota who, for some reason, are unceremoniously called the 13th batch. Imagine slogging hard for 2 years, leaving behind everything, putting your heart and soul into the preparation of an exam and then not getting through. Imagine heading to Kota to do it all over again while all your friends head to different colleges across the country to start a new chapter of their lives. Imagine living with the guilt of wasting your parents' money and the frustration of wasting one year of your life, and then being reminded of your predicament every day and by everyone as they identify you by the term '13th'. '13th mein admission chahiye?', 'Bhaiya aap 13th mein ho na?', 'Beta 13th mein kyun aana pada, 12th mein nahi nikaal paae?' ... are only a few of the many such haunting questions that a student of 13th has to face on a daily basis. It becomes a part of their identity, a symbol of their failure, a pronoun which means that they are not good enough. For a serious JEE aspirant, there is nothing worse than being in the '13th', and Ritesh, a successful venture capitalist now, was one such student. 13th is the story of Ritesh, who was a highly intelligent but extremely arrogant student, and the man who taught him the importance of humility and changed his life forever... his teacher, his guide, and soon to be business partner, the math wizard, Mohit Tyagi Sir.
