Repost from Essay for UPSC with Aditya sir
कह ना पायें, जो उनके लब
वो आँखें, कह देती हैं सब
पहले तो सबका इक ही था
अब सबका अपना अपना रब
हालत तो देखो इन्सां की
खुद ही से डरता है वो अब
तनहा काटो तब पूछेंगे
होती है कितनी लम्बी शब
खुद को भी मुजरिम पाओगे
अपने भीतर, झांकोगे जब
हरदम आंसू, मत छलकाओ
मन मर्ज़ी का, होता है कब
| 2 | I am also a crazy movie lover. I have watched thousands of Hollywood movies, especially thrillers and real life based movies. I was also an ardent cricket fan who used to watch even Test matches ball by ball — until Virat Kohli announced his retirement.
Stories of perseverance, passion, purpose and sacrifice have always inspired me. They shaped the way I look at life.
Today, I feel very happy to see so many of my batchmates taking initiatives to help aspirants and society in different ways. I am confident that together, we can do great things for society, for the nation and for the people.
I am deeply grateful to God, my parents, my teachers, my friends, my mentors ( so many Gauri bhaiyas ) and every single person who supported me in this journey.
Thank you.

| 3 | STORY OF MANOJ G S ( AIR 389 UPSC CSE 2025 )
Hello everyone, I am Manoj G S (Captain MaGnuS)
I have secured All India Rank 389 in the UPSC Civil Services Examination this year, and I am expecting to join the Indian Police Service.
For me, my journey is a living example of the power of education — how education can transform not just an individual, but an entire family.
I come from Sakleshpur, a beautiful part of the core Western Ghats in Karnataka. When I was just four years old, my mother sent me and my sister away from home so that we could get better education. Even today, in many villages like mine, basic facilities like roads, electricity, internet connectivity and access to quality education remain a challenge.
My mother had studied only till Class 10, but she understood the value of education more deeply than anyone else. From childhood, she made us read stories from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, Panchatantra and many other books. She gave us values, purpose and courage.
She passed away when I was only seven years old. But the values she left behind have stayed with me forever.
Maybe I was the most relieved person after seeing this year’s result, because for me, this was not just an examination. It was a promise I had made to my mother — that I would enter the civil services and make her proud.
Throughout my journey, I consider myself extremely blessed. Coming from a very humble background where my father didn't have even ₹500 to take me to the college for admission, I received some of the best education possible in India — first at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, and later at NITK Surathkal completely on scholarship.
After that, when I came to Bengaluru soon after my graduation for UPSC preparation, I had almost nothing with me except hope, determination and the dream to clear this examination. I had worked hard to clear UPSC prelims 2023 but didn't have a single mentor to guide till then.
But at every stage, strangers became my support system. Some gave a part of their salary every month to support me. Some people paid my room rent. Some helped me with library fees. Some supported me with flight tickets. Some even helped me with what I wore on the day of my interview. I always felt that my maa always came through those people to guide me, inspire me and support me.
When people say that I achieved this because of hard work , I genuinely feel that without these support systems, I would not be standing here today. My mind goes to a thought that there are thousands of young Manoj like me who can achieve great things in life if they get the right support, guidance and encouragement.
That is why I feel I was blessed to find guiding lights in my life. And that is also why I love mentoring children, students and aspirants in whatever way possible. Because sometimes, all we need is one person who believes in us and tells us, “You are capable of doing something great.”
Whatever good I do in my life will be the legacy of my mother. The blessings I received in my journey are not meant to end with me. My mission and purpose in life is to share those blessings with others. I'm glad to have found my Ikigai so early in life.
Coming to my UPSC journey, I have given three attempts, written three Mains and appeared for two interviews. I am someone who prepared almost completely on my own, carved my own path, and learnt through trial and error. I'm someone who can move mountains if the need arises.
This journey has strengthened my belief in the power of hard work. Irrespective of one’s background, resources or starting point, dedication, consistency and sincere effort remain the greatest equalizers in this examination.
Now, many of you may be wondering — what does “CAPTAIN MAGNUS" mean?
“Captain” comes from my deep admiration for Captain America. For me, Captain America represents sacrifice, courage, perseverance and the spirit of “I can do this all day.”
And “MAGNUS” comes from my name — Manoj G S, or MGS, which became Magnus. It also means GREAT, CONQUERER AND RESILIENT which defines my personality. | 453 |
| 4 | "The 11th Day — When I Decided to Fight Back"
It was September 24, 2021. I was clicking on the UPSC website since morning for an endless amount of time. From morning till evening, fake insiders were saying the result is coming, making me more and more anxious. I was waiting for the verdict of my life.
The results came. I started searching my name manually in the first two pages — no name. Now I was anxious. Since I belong to the unreserved category, there is no point searching from the last page. I searched my roll number, and there was no result found. I searched again — no result found.
And then it was like there was no blood in my veins. Life seemed gloomy. All the hard work was now gone like a pack of cards blown away by the wind.
And except for my parents, people around me were claiming that I lacked something, and were sending me Group B and C forms. I was more shattered. I had left a Master's seat in the USA and a seat in IIM for this.
When the marksheet came, I saw good marks in everything — and just one paper, Optional Paper 2, showed a reduction of 50 marks from the previous year. It was something I can never digest even until now. And an interview mark of 162.
I tried reaching out to people about how to challenge these marks. I did my best, but to no avail.
The next 10 days were the toughest days of my life. I could not sleep. I could not eat.
On the 11th day, something unexpected happened. I said — I will fight. And that 11th day shaped me into who I am today.
Today, institutes themselves call me for work. I do not need to apply anywhere. I consider that a success. Coming from a middle-class background, with only my father as the sole breadwinner — a government teacher living in a big city like Delhi — was no less of a challenge. Your life in such a big city on such an income is like that of an insect.
Yesterday, the Silver Button was a result of the hard work I put in to showcase that UPSC results are not the end of life. If you have fire in your belly, nobody can stop a river — not even mountains.
I am ending with my favourite lines of a shayar —
Charagon ko aankhon mein mahfooz rakhna,
Badi dur tak raat hi raat hogi,
Musaafir hain hum, musaafir ho tum bhi,
Kisi mod par phir mulaqaat hogi. | 855 |
| 5 | If you want to do this, if you want to play big, if you want to really impact lives, you’ve got to face yourself. You’ve got to be courageous and willing to go all in and address everything about you that is uncomfortable.
You have to remember You are there Tomorrow to cross the swamp, not to fight all the alligators.
Wait for your moment ,duck when it's a bouncer and defend when it's a Yorker ,your choice of delivery will come.
Failure I can live with. Not trying is what I can’t handle, so try your level best ❤️
And victory will be yours
Your Captain ❤️

| 8 | Feeling nervous?
Everybody does.
See Sruthi’s message just after the Prelims exam.
She’s nervous and not feeling satisfied.
This is one exam where you can never prepare for everything.
It's a test of nerves. It's a test of mettle.
One of my students, who is now an IAS officer — Jayant Charan — once said, "I will not appear in Prelims; I am not prepared." I told him, "You are prepared and you will clear it."
And he became an IAS officer on that attempt.
Trust me, champs: you’ve done the preparation. Now just stay calm. ❤️ | 1 440 |
| 9 | “Parth, why do you let this sadness take over when you are needed most? This weakness does not suit a soul like yours.”
The Gita starts with Arjuna completely broken, his heart full of pain, questioning if any of this is even worth it. Krishna doesn’t tell him to ‘just get over it.’ He doesn’t ignore the pain. Instead, he helps Arjuna see through it.
The lesson for us is simple: it is okay to feel lost. It is okay to cry. Let yourself feel the emotion, but don’t build a house there. Don’t let your sadness become your permanent address. Use that moment of total breakdown as the spark to change your life. Even the strongest of us must fall apart before we can put ourselves back together, stronger than ever. | 1 167 |

| 11 | Truth about Civil Services exam nobody wants to tell you because they are scared their shops will be closed.
Most aspirants fear this exam not because they're incapable, but because the ecosystem makes it larger than life—the process, the institution, the post. They're all human, cleared by humans. With more aspirants, it feels tough, but the real competition is among just 40-45,000 people. One-third of them will even write Mains; the rest haven't covered the syllabus. Why fear? Coaching institutes claim "UPSC thinks like this," but UPSC consists of professors, not NASA scientists. They might tweak patterns slightly—keep it human.
What are the common fears peddled:
1. This time UPSC paper will be very tough.
2. This time cutoff will be very high.
3. This time we will have more weightage of this subject.
4. Toppers are people who study every day 8-10 hours, like a robot.
5. You are competing with best minds of country, IIT IIM graduates.
6. UPSC as an institution is supernatural.
7. What if you fail, pass it for your mom, dad, your village.
Well, nobody knows how the paper will be, but it will be of General Studies, right? Secondly, IIT IIM graduates passed an exam which has nowhere near the same syllabus and skills requirement as UPSC.
Thirdly, UPSC is not infallible—they commit mistakes every year, a perfectly human organisation.
Best minds? Well, best minds are those who are working hard now; past doesn't matter.
Pass it for yourself—it is you who wants it the most, it's your life. Don't take added pressure. It's not motivation; it's pressure draped in disguise as motivation.
Those who fail repeatedly do so from fear, not hard work. I saw the same faces in interviews; failures blame effort, ignoring execution. Hard-working students have a 33% chance to clear prelims—that's huge. Stay human, execute well, and succeed. You deserve it.
Don't get into all these fear-mongering traps. I was an average student (I consider genius only those who unearth some new things for this world; passing any competitive examination is no mark of genius). I cleared Prelims. You all are much more talented—why won't you?
Fear creates more business . If you want to clear this exam come out of this fear ecosystem.
Success will be yours ❤️

| 12 | Power of Positive Affirmation and Capacity to Handle Success
We often think very negatively inside our minds. Until we get something positive, we again start thinking, what if what we have got, we will not get in the future. But this is not how life works. How much capacity you develop to accept things, that will walk towards you. And you need to enhance your capacity. Once you enhance your capacity, bigger things not only you will get, but you will also be able to digest. Digesting is important. Sometimes what happens is, there is a famous saying in Hindi, Khuda mehrban to gadha pehalwan. That is, when God is gracing you, even a donkey becomes a winner. But they are not able to digest the success. It is very important to digest, then only you can sustain a particular success.
Your mind is like a glorious device. If you affirm that yes, I am the one who can achieve the hardest of things, I can withstand, I deserve it, and you positively affirm with your actions, it is not just wishful thinking. Affirmation and wishful thinking have a difference. Wishful thinking is that you are not working, you are just thinking that something will fall from the sky. Affirmation is that you are working very hard for it, and you are also positively thinking that what you are working for, you will get that. That is called positive affirmation. So if you think positively that you will become successful, you will become successful.
You must have seen interviews of people. For example, a mega Bollywood star like Shah Rukh Khan, from the beginning of his career, always used to say that I am the best. Now, it does not mean that he is arrogant. It meant that inside his mind, he always thought that what he was getting was not enough for him. He would become the leading superstar, he would rule the industry. That positive affirmation, not only in him, you can see in people like Cristiano Ronaldo. He always says, I am the best, even when he knows that Lionel Messi, if not better, is at least equally great. But that is what kept him going to compete with a surreal, generational talent like Lionel Messi.
The same goes for people like Novak Djokovic. He was not as naturally blessed as Roger Federer, he never initially got the same glory as Rafael Nadal or Federer, he had to fight hard. He used to say that yes, I am the best, I am working hard, and he proved it with the most number of Grand Slams through positive affirmation and hard work.
That is what can give you a big amount of success in life. You do not know how beautiful your mind is. If one opportunity closes, a second comes, if the second closes, a third comes. People who tend to work hard, people who are tenacious, will never lose in life. Some hiccups may come, but at the end of the day, they will try their best.
And as said by one of my icons, Great Vikram batra, after getting success, you will say:-
Ye dil mange more | 1 273 |
| 13 | Sin texto... | 1 196 |
| 14 | Our Life is Built on Fear
The day we are born, our childhood is shaped by the fear of punishment. We used to desist from our desires to play, to go out, to dance in the rain, because we knew that if we did all these things, we would get punished.
When we go to school, we fall in line with rules and regulations, and in the competition for marks, to avoid the fear of being left out, typecast, and punished.
When we grow a bit older, we work because we fear how we will earn money, how we will get respect in society. That fear extends to finding love in life, because society comes in between even in these personal matters.
Then we fear—what if we lose our loved ones? It goes on to shaping the path of our children. We again rear them with the same fear, because of our own fears—what if they become rebels, what if society says they are not good, they are not successful?
And one fear that constantly looms over us is the fear of losing what we possess—our property, our name, our fame, our possessions.
In all of this, we never live life fully. We just work to avoid fear, and that’s why most of us behave like Circus tigers dancing or performing to the tune of a ringmaster to avoid the fear of getting Punished .

| 17 | The Illusion of Certainty
The things you are doing today — you do not know what the result will be. And that uncertainty bothers you. It bothers all of us.
But why?
Because it is in our genes. For lakhs of years, our forefathers fought against uncertainty every single day. Harsh weather, unforgiving climates, scarcity of food, attacks from wild animals. Survival meant anticipating what comes next. Certainty was not a luxury — it was life itself.
That instinct never left us. It just changed its form.
Today, instead of scanning the horizon for predators, we scan the faces of people around us for approval. We seek validation. We ask — am I on the right path? Will this work out? Is this the right decision?
But here is the uncomfortable truth: nobody knows.
The person you are seeking validation from was once standing exactly where you are standing now — confused, unsure, looking for answers. They figured something out along the way and called it wisdom. But your journey is not their journey. Your outcome was never written in anyone else's story.
Life exists in the present moment. Not in the past, not in the future. Every moment that passes is gone forever — and yet we spend most of our time trying to make the future feel certain. We plan, we overthink, we ask, we worry.
It will never be certain. That is not a flaw in life. That is life itself.
Every religion, every mythology, every system of magic and ritual — at their core, they all work on the same human fear. The fear of the unknown. They offer frameworks, symbols and stories to make things feel certain. But certainty remains an illusion.
So do not fall into this trap.
Do what you love. Do what you can. Show up fully in this moment. And if it is meant to happen, it will happen.
Trust the process.

| 18 | Victory belongs to the most tenacious.
I remember during the CSE 2020 interview phase, I met a cricket enthusiast and very humble person who was also appearing for the interviews. The final results came, and he could not make it. He kept on preparing—not just for UPSC, but for different state PCS exams like UPPSC and RAS. What was happening was consistent failure after reaching the interviews; he appeared again in the UPSC interviews but still couldn't make it.
Now, almost a decade into this journey with a huge investment from a humble background in a small place in Rajasthan, cut to today: I saw a message in our common group (named the cricket subgroup we made during interview preparation for cricket-related questions, as we all shared the same hobby,and now the group is like a family ). He posted: 'Rank 150 RAS'—and that was surreal. A decade of investment finally paying off.
His name is Sonu Jindal, and I believe his journey can inspire many of you. He couldn't get success for so many years but kept on trying.
He is the perfect example that victory belongs to the most tenacious. | 0 |
| 19 | The Honest Fare
The evening was like any other—traffic, noise, the usual rush. I took an auto, just a regular ride, nothing special.
When we reached, my UPI didn’t go through for a moment. So I gave him cash. He didn’t have exact change—just ₹2 short.
“It’s okay, bhaiya, leave it,” I said. Honestly, I didn’t even think twice about it.
But he stopped me.
“UPI ID dijiye,” he said.
I smiled a bit, thinking he didn’t get it. “Arre bhaiya, rehne dijiye… bas do rupaye hi toh hain.”
He looked straight at me and said, “Nahi, theek nahi hai.”
There was something different in his tone. Not stubbornness—self-respect.
He carefully sent those ₹2. My phone pinged.
Then he said something I won’t forget:
“Main kabhi bhi bina mehnat ka ek paisa bhi nahi leta.”
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.
It was just ₹2 for me. But for him, it was about something much bigger.
I just stepped forward and hugged him.
“Bhaiya, aap jaise logon ki wajah se hi duniya chal rahi hai.”
He didn’t say much after that. Just nodded and drove away.
But that small moment stayed.
Sometimes, it’s not about the money. It’s about the kind of person you choose to be.

| 20 | Feeling Left Out?
Yes, you may feel the same.
The digital world celebrates success only. Miss by 0.5-1 marks? No opinion, just heavy criticism.
You feel like a sinner.
Chill, Friends—You're Not!
What did you do wrong?
- Chose what you want.
- Studied hard.
- Tried your best every day.
Is that a sin? No way.
Society wants you to fail, but you're not failing.
Exams are designed that way—99% don't succeed, and people pile on to pull you down.
But you stay up. No pity needed.
You're Doing Great Work!
Remember your worldview before prep? So narrow, right?
Now look at you—vast knowledge, transformed personality.
No training or degree teaches that.
Trust me: Non-UPSC folks do the same work but take twice as long. Why?
We immerse for days without complaining.
Example: I made 400+ YouTube videos single-handedly. No editor, no script writer—raw AF. So what?
Sheer hardwork changes destiny.
Keep grinding! | 0 |
