Guru Nanak Ji didn’t build followers -
he built spaces where humanity could sit as one.

Langar wasn’t just food - it was dignity shared.
Sangat wasn’t just gathering - it was equality practiced.
His journeys weren’t just travel - they were an invitation
to expand the heart before the horizon.

He taught us that truth is not loud,
service is not spectacle,
and light spreads quietly — one loving act at a time.

May we walk gently, think deeply, and serve humbly.

Happy Guru Nanak Jayanti 🙏🏼
Satnam. Waheguru.

Snippets from latest offline Sherlocking community meetup -

Until next time!

Your journey won’t look straight, some days you’ll feel delayed, diverted, even lost.

But rivers don’t doubt their bends. They flow anyway.
And they always reach the ocean.

Trust your winding path. You’re still moving forward.

@UPSCneil

UPSC isn’t a people-pleasing contest.
No matter what you do, someone will doubt you.
Please your discipline, not the crowd.


@UPSCneil

🇮🇳150 years of Vande Mataram🇮🇳

Not just a song, but the heartbeat of a nation.
It taught us that true strength comes from love for our land and unity among its people.
May every young heart carry forward this spirit of devotion, courage, and pride.

“I bow to thee, Mother.”

Sometimes it takes one teacher, one friend, one mentor or even one random quote to remind you that you’re not as lost as you think.

You’ve spent so long carrying the weight of self-doubt that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to be believed in.
But here’s the truth: someone out there maybe your parent, your friend, or even a stranger already believes you can do this

Borrow that belief for now.
Study with it. Fight with it.
Until the day you finally start believing it yourself.

Team Unlock IAS!

No more studying the same way and expecting a different result.

Change your strategy, change your habits —
because growth begins where comfort ends.


@UPSCneil

Every morning you wake up to the same books, the same uncertainty, the same self-doubt.
But remember this what you do today won’t just decide an exam; it’ll echo through every version of your future self.

Every hour of discipline, every night you didn’t quit, every silent fight you won, it all adds up to a story that will echo long after the results are forgotten.

This journey isn’t about one attempt.
It’s about the kind of person you’re becoming through it.

@UPSCneil

It’s okay to break down after a bad mock, a tough Prelims, or a rough study day.
Feeling hurt doesn’t make you weak — it means you care.

Cry, breathe, reset. Then rise again.


@UPSCneil

Best wishes to all students.

Sir will take a session soon to plan the way forward.

@UPSCneil

Not next attempt.
Not after you “cover basics again.”
Not when the environment is perfect, or when anxiety finally goes away.

It’s what you do right now, in this messy, imperfect, half-tired state, that decides everything.

Every page revised, every mock reviewed, every small comeback compounds into something massive.
The future isn’t waiting for your perfect mood. It’s being written by what you’re doing this hour.

@UPSCneil

Maybe you didn’t plan to be here. Maybe you just wanted to “give it a shot” one attempt, one year.
But look where that road led you to your limits, your patience, your real self.

Sometimes destiny doesn’t come with a plan. It sneaks up on you disguised as a detour.
You thought you were running away from pressure, but you were running into purpose.

Life has a strange way of dragging you exactly where you’re meant to be, even if you go kicking and screaming.

@UPSCneil

Right now feels impossible. The syllabus feels endless. The competition feels crushing. The doubt feels suffocating.

This is your darkest hour.

🌅 But darkness doesn’t last. Dawn is coming and it will change everything.

That result you’ve been chasing. That version of yourself you’re becoming. That life of service and purpose you’re building.

It’s all waiting on the other side of this struggle.

When the night is darkest, the sunrise is closest. Hold on just a little longer.

Your breakthrough is coming.

@UPSCneil

Hope is passive. Transformation is active.

🔥 You don’t rise from failure by wishing for better days. You rise by destroying everything holding you back.

The old excuses? Burn them. The self-doubt? Burn it. The toxic habits, the limiting beliefs, the comfortable mediocrity? All of it, into the fire.

Your comeback isn’t about gentle recovery. It’s about ruthless reinvention.

Let the failures consume the weak version of you. From those ashes, forge someone unstoppable.

This is your rebirth. Make it count.

@UPSCneil

Let’s meet today at 9ishPM here on @UPSCneil.

All students welcome, whether you unfortunately missed out in the IW call, or targeting next attempt or even ones who got the call.

If there are queries you want to leave in advance, feel free to do that on @UPSCneil.

Best wishes to IFoS appearing students meanwhile!

From inside the crowd, solitude looks scary.

From the path of growth, solitude feels sacred.

In UPSC and life, choosing your own direction may feel lonely -
but that’s also where freedom, clarity, and strength live.

@UPSCneil

Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t learning more —
it’s unlearning what’s holding you back.
Flexible minds win — in UPSC, and everywhere.

@UPSCneil

You have a unique story. A perspective only you carry. A journey no one else can replicate.

Yet you’re copying someone else’s strategy, mimicking their optional, following their timeline.

💎 The world doesn’t need another clone. It needs your authentic contribution.

Your struggles shaped your empathy. Your background gives you insights others lack. Your unconventional path is your competitive edge.

Don’t waste your originality trying to fit someone else’s mold.

The IAS needs diverse voices, not duplicates. Be unapologetically yourself.

That’s your power.
