Hello Everyone, Myself Disha Dwivedi, AIR-672 in UPSC CSE 2024.
I am here to help you find the right Direction in this chaotic puzzle of UPSC Preparation.
I believe that every stage, every paper of this exam can be made easier, only if someone is here to show us the right direction, the right "Disha".
Disha For UPSC
I want to share something honestly.
The recent video on "Read Current Affairs for UPSC like a Ranker" has crossed thousands of views. Many of you commented on my appearance, service allocation issues, the logo, and many other things.
I truly appreciate the kind comments.
But there was one thing I was actually waiting for...
The assignment.
I requested all of you to pick a news article, apply the framework from the video, and post your analysis in the comments.
No-one did it yet.
If our interaction often remains limited to compliments and casual discussions, we're missing the very purpose of this channel.
My goal is not just to upload videos. My goal is to build thinkers - people who think, analyse, question and apply.
UPSC is not a spectator sport. You don't clear it by consuming content. You clear it by engaging with it.
So here's a small request:
Go back to that video, complete the assignment, and post your analysis in the comments.
If you want me to invest hours in creating meaningful current affairs content and start Disha Analytica series asap, I would love to see the same sincerity reflected in your participation.
Let's make Disha for UPSC a place where learning is a two-way conversation, not a one-way broadcast. 🌻

Hey folks!
I couldn't upload the video for today's newspaper due to some technical issue and time crunch. I hope you have read the headlines atleast.
Some topics to ponder on are:
1. Go through National building code, Bureau of Indian Standards, Fire safety regulations in India, fire accidents reasons and measures to tackle it
2. Air pollution, WHO notings, air pollution causes and solutions for the same.
3. Valvular vs non-valvular atrial fibrillation, obesity parameter, heart functioning basics
4. NHRC body objectives, functions, dysfunctions, non-functions
5. Great Nicobar Project and issues associated
6. Heat action plans, what to wear?, textile industry
If this feels heavy, just read explained section for now. Develop upsc oriented vocabulary as well like epidemiology, NVAF, testimony, hidden urbanisation etc.

I took some time before speaking on UPSC Prelims 2026 because I did not want to respond impulsively within hours of the paper. I wanted to solve, pause, observe and understand the larger pattern first.
After spending 6-7 years in this journey, I have seen similar conversations emerge after almost every Prelims. And I feel this is the right time for a calm, grounded and balanced discussion around the exam, the legitimate concerns, the changing nature of papers and the way aspirants are approaching preparation today.
No panic. No noise. No unnecessary reassurance.
Just a genuine conversation with perspective and direction.
Join me LIVE tomorrow evening

“Can a man still be brave if he’s afraid?”
“That is the only time a man can be brave.”
~ Bran & Ned Stark, Game of Thrones
Tomorrow isn’t about absence of fear.
It’s about solving the paper fearlessly, overcoming the chatters of mind, focusing on the present, defocusing from the past and future and ultimately showing up despite whatever fear you feel. ⚔️
My best wishes 🌻

Disha For UPSC
Hello everyone,
Just 1 week to go for UPSC CSE Prelims 2026 - I know what you all are going through!
Too much to revise and too little time?
Low mock scores?
Overthinking, anxiety, inability to recall things, feeling overwhelmed?
If you are going through this right now, trust me - it is a very natural part of the UPSC journey.
At this stage, almost every sincere aspirant feels that more is left than completed. No one enters the exam hall with a feeling of perfect preparation. The exam has always been about relative performance, not perfection.
Last week revision:
Think about our school or college days before exams. Haven’t we completed in a few days what we could not complete in months earlier? Human mind has immense potential and this potential peaks when urgency meets focus.
Do not underestimate yourself in these last few days.
Spiritually also, we carry tremendous energy within us. When this energy is not channelised properly, it turns into overthinking, self-doubt, comparison and emotional exhaustion. Channelise it into focused revision and calm action.
Mocks:
Please remember, mocks are only tools for:
• knowledge gain
• application aptitude
• improving elimination
• identifying weak areas for strategic revision
That’s it.
Even if you had scores in the 60s or 70s that's absolutely workable if your mindset remains stable and your learning attitude remains intact. I was scoring poorly in mocks weeks before Prelims and still could make it comfortably to the final list later.
The cutoff in recent years has remained relatively low. You do not need to know everything. You simply need calm and composure to attempt the right questions within the stipulated time on the final day.
Also, many things may not go exactly according to plan from now onwards. You may not have given N no. of mocks, have to skip a revision or leave a few sections untouched - and that's completely fine.
Remember: A calm mind performs far better than a panicked mind overloaded with information.
Right now, the greatest skill is not studying endlessly.
You have already come very far in this journey.
Just one final push with faith and balance 🌻
All the best 🙌🏻
Om Shanti ✨
