When the day’s pages close, it’s just you and your dream - with all its quirks and doubts.

So breathe, enjoy the tiny moments, and keep becoming the officer you already see in your mind. 🌙

🪔 Why Ganesh ji is Worshipped First 🪔

When asked to circle the world, Ganesh ji didn’t rush across lands or seas.
He simply walked around his parents, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati because he knew they were his real world, his true treasure.

In life too, success isn’t always about speed.
It’s about knowing what truly matters and placing your energy there.
Be like Ganesh ji. Be wise. Circle the treasure.

🌺 Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
May Lord Ganesha bless you with the wisdom to recognise your true treasures and the courage to walk steadily around them.

For Mains appearing students regarding optional paper attempt strategy:

Before time begins after QCAB distribution, find qns to attempt. Find qns that you know most subparts in.

Attempt 80 marks worth of easy paper first to gain momentum and pick the low hanging fruits, in the first hour from the ones you choose. Then Q1 and Q5 compulsory ones in around 75-80mins since they would be complex and then the remaining paper.

🏆 Happy National Sports Day 🏆

It’s not just about winning a race or hitting the perfect shot.

True sportsmanship is shaking hands after defeat, clapping for others when you didn’t make it, showing up even when you're tired, and playing fair even when no one is watching.

On the field just like in life, the game changes but the values don’t.

🥇 Respect.
🥈 Discipline.
🥉 Grit.
🤝 And the courage to try again, no matter how many times you fall.

Whether you’re an athlete on the ground, or a student running the daily marathon of life — sportsmanship is your quiet superpower.

Let’s celebrate that spirit today.
Let’s carry it beyond the track.

“I’m not cut out for this.”
“What if I fail again?”
“I’ll never finish the syllabus.”

Stop. These aren’t just thoughts — they’re spells you’re casting on yourself.

In UPSC prep, your self-talk becomes your fuel.
Speak like you’re someone who’s growing.
Act like you’re someone who will rise again.
And you will.

What you whisper to yourself in quiet hours decides what the world hears on result day.

Some days, you won’t revise 3 chapters.
You won’t solve 50 MCQs.
You’ll just sit at your desk with sleepy eyes and a heavy heart and still try.

That’s courage, too.

📍 Getting out of bed when you’d rather give up?
That’s not laziness, that’s resilience in disguise.

Honor the quiet victories. They’re the bricks beneath your bigger ones.

Failed last year? Took a gap year? Burned out midway?
That’s not the end of your story. That’s where the gold starts.

Like kintsugi, your cracks, your disappointments, breakdowns, re-starts — aren’t stains on your journey.
They’re proof that you held on. That you rebuilt.

📖 The UPSC final list doesn’t just carry names.
It carries stories written in gold, of those who broke and still rose.

Discipline isn’t glamorous.
It’s revising Laxmikant when your brain screams for a break.
It’s solving that 40th MCQ even when your score feels stuck.

You won’t always feel motivated.
But if you show up anyway, that’s what builds toppers.

📍 Grit over mood. Reps over vibes.
This is how ranks are earned, not wished for.

Throat is finally manageable. Let’s meet at @UPSCneil at 5.30 sharp without fail.

Can leave queries in advance if anything needs my attention, else we’ll just discuss way forward for now.

UPSC isn’t won by the smartest.
It’s won by the ones who revise even when bored,
who write even when it feels rough,
who stay on the timetable when no one’s checking.

Discipline is your AIR rank waiting quietly to be built.

Some days you’ll feel like you’re surfing — confident, fast, in flow.
Other days? Like you’re drowning in revision or wiped out by a single MCQ.

That’s prep. That’s life. 🌊

You can’t stop the tides — of fear, fatigue, failure.
But you can learn to breathe through them.
To ride them with grace. To rise again.

📘 Trust the process. You’re growing in your own light, even if no one sees it yet.

🌼 Happy Teacher’s Day 🌼
Some teachers teach chapters.
But a few… quietly change the course of your life.

They see what you can be before you see it yourself.
They guide, shape, nudge — not just for marks, but for meaning.

To those who taught us lessons that didn’t end with exams —
thank you for touching our lives beyond the books. 🙏
