Twenty-seven-year-old Sweta Mohanty, who stood second in the IAS exam, has been busy.

Not because she was preparing for the civil services examination, but because she was changing her one-and-a-half year old daughter, Nandini's, diapers. So she didn't follow a strict time-table. "I have a little daughter, I've a full time job – I'm in the Indian Revenue Services, so I didn't have any fixed routine," Sweta, who's had a love marriage, said.

"I married Rajat (an IAS officer) in 2008 and ours was not at all a filmi case. Everyone was very happy with it, and so everything happened peacefully," said she. Sweta's a trained classical dancer. She learnt Odissi when she was in Class VI and has been practicing and performing since then. "But I've not been able to do any shows since the birth of my daughter," she admitted.
