I believe in you and your handwork, I just want to remind this simple note.

You are going to make it🫶🏻🙏

🔥 Feeling confused and overburdened? Try this.

1️⃣ Sit in front of your PC or iPad.
Open your folders.
Ask yourself — “Do I really need this PDF?”
If the answer is no, delete it. No mercy.

2️⃣ Go to your bookshelf.
Pick every book or notes file and ask — “Is this actually helping me?”
If the answer is no, throw it. Burn it (mentally or literally).

Let it go.
UPSC isn’t about hoarding. It’s about clarity, not clutter.

Every unnecessary PDF, every useless note — is one step away from your AIR.

📘 Keep what truly matters.
🔥 Burn the rest.

I kept going, further…

Devastated by the prelims result, I didn’t sit and sulk.
I got up. I started driving.

Left Gurgaon.
Reached Rishikesh.

And then began a journey—not just on road, but deep within.

I visited the sacred Prayags before the Ganga becomes herself —
Rudraprayag, Vishnuprayag, Devprayag.

I witnessed the vastness of the Himalayas,
Roamed freely in the Garhwal range of Uttarakhand,
Walked along the roaring Bhagirathi,
And felt the calming presence of Alaknanda.

This landscape… it changes you. It humbles you.
It makes you and your problems feel… insignificant.

I trekked through the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve,
Saw waterfalls whiter than milk,
Wandered into alpine forests where the fragrance hooks your soul.
Sunlight filtering through trees, birds singing forgotten songs—
I witnessed landforms carved by flowing water over millennia.

And I realised—
Why these gems of nature must be preserved.
Because humans, left unchecked, will destroy them.

Finally, I reached my dream destination:
🌸 Valley of Flowers National Park 🌸

And what I saw there…
No camera can capture. No words can explain.

So I sat.
And I thought—

About life.
About failure.
About career, love, peace, war, politics…

And it all came down to one truth:

“I am nothing in the grand scale of nature.
My problems, my aspirations—just figments of my own creation.”

So why take anything too seriously?

🔹 Keep walking like the river.
🔹 Stay still like the mountain.
🔹 Be refreshing like the waterfall.
🔹 Spread the fragrance of love like the flowers.
🔹 Keep shining like the sun.

And don’t worry too much about what’s next.

Now I’m returning—
Stronger. Clearer.
Ready to give it my all, once again—

✨ For the future.
✨ For nature.
✨ For humanity.

May the power I gain by becoming an administrator
be used to shape the future of humanity and protect the serenity of nature.

And I wish the same for everyone walking this uncertain path.
To rise again.
To walk again.
To believe again.

Because sometimes, losing your way…
Is the only way to find yourself.

I got caught. 😓

Today, I went for a CSAT mock test.

It was 2:30 PM—I felt a bit sleepy 😴. Overconfident after scoring 105 in CSAT in Prelims 2024, I thought, "Who cares?" Skipped revising my short notes and tricks. Zoned out. 🧠💤

The paper began. 5 questions and 1 passage in—and 35 minutes were already gone.
Time pressure kicked in hard. ⏳💥

I kept juggling between Reading Comprehension, Math, and Reasoning. 🤹‍♂️📖➕🧠

Post-analysis?
I left many easy questions. 😬
Barely scraped through with 73 marks.
Had I stayed calm and come prepared, 100+ was well within reach. 🎯📈

CSAT is not about knowledge.
It’s about keeping your composure 🧘‍♂️ and spotting the easy questions 🔍 among the tough ones.

Don’t take it personally. Don’t get caught. ❌👀

Today, I’m humbled. Grounded. And back to revising my notes. 🙇‍♂️📚📝

🟢 I don’t trust any coaching institute’s CSAT answer key, nor should you. 🟢

I wanted to upload the CSAT comprehension video today, but there’s a catch—none of the available sources have the official UPSC answers—not even one.

So here’s what I’m doing:

✅ I’m preparing it myself — every single PYQ of the last 15 Years, with answers directly from UPSC.
✅ It’ll take me one day — because accuracy > speed.
✅ The result? Zero confusion. Zero coaching drama. 100% clarity.

Coming soon:
🎥 The most reliable CSAT Comprehension video
📄 A PDF with only official answers

Stay tuned. It’ll be worth the wait. 🔥

I don’t believe in sharing strategy I believe in doing it in front of everyone.

People who tell how to do it, most probably they have never done it,

I didn’t start with “How to do PYQ”

I started with “let’s do PYQ together “

I love my job.

Technology fascinates me—the way it evolves, solves problems, and connects the world.

But more than just working with technology, I love using it to improve lives.

And what better way to do that than by stepping into public service?

Imagine Viksit Bharat—where every government office and service is powered by AI and automation.


I don’t just dream of this India. I want to build it.

I’m a well-paid software engineer,

living life on my own terms—great work-life balance,

total freedom.

Why am I telling you this? 🤔

Because it’s a long weekend, and most of my circle is off vacationing—Himachal, Thailand, Dubai… you name it.

And me? I stayed back.
I chose to work.
Not because I have to, but because I want to. Because I love it.

It’s 3 AM. No beaches, no cocktails—just me, my notes, and a fire that won’t burn out.

Recording PYQ lectures,

locked in, thriving. And guess what? I wouldn’t trade this for anything.

You can’t escape struggle, so choose one that makes you feel alive. Fall in love with the grind, and it’ll love you back.

Good night… or maybe not. 🤔🔥

I’m suffering from back pain, but the show must go on.

No excuses.

Here I am, lying on my tummy, recording lectures.
