No offend and massive respect .. You mentioned the line Halaat se acche hai khyalat mere.. This was relatable because ,,you have walked mile though you havent cleared this exam and still giving indeed insights on paper.. This reflect your intent (khayalaat) and halaat(still to be qualify)❤ Hope my comment doesnt impact you in any way... मैं अकेला ही चला था जानिब-ऐ-मंजिल मग़र लोग साथ आते गए और कारवाँ बनता गया.. आपके लिए ❤

[@casetoometoo]

Best best best 🎉... If everyone becomes like you no one will ever think that he was never guided properly. You are a great human being. May God bless you with everything 💕

[@ganeshkadam3735]

Poets wala essay’s dimensions just enlightened me….pure gem

[@User-56-90]

Best part for me when you realize us the importance of own thoughts, when you describe poet, it really change my mindset great sir 😊😊😊

[@veenarevathi1212]

Thank you so much sir. There is so muchh clarity now. You've broken it down to the nuances. I'm someone who writes essays really well. Usually proud of that fact. I scored 58 last year. Quotes, poems, examples, the same analytical style you showed (why? How? Counter. Futuristic/Solution) everything was there. But terrible misinterpretation. Unfortunately in both ig. Till now I was doubting where I had gone wrong. And quite clueless on how to improve. Now thanks to you. I see a way ahead on how to improve this year. It's a thankless job and you are doing it amidst your mains prep. Can only say thanks. Thanks a lot!

[@shivammirge3749]

Sir, towards the end the description of that essay was just fabulous as I took it face value when I first saw it. 😇🙏

[@dr.mitalpanchasara7564]

it's Motivational sir when you say "it's end of era the paid misguidance" thank so much sir🙏🙏🙏

[@shayanisarkar9619]

Started the day with this video .Beautifully explained . Thanks sir

[@truthseeker788]

double liked the video 😀...so liked it once again 🙂 ...thanks for such an enriched discussion sir🙏

[@Origin1303]

A Masterpiece ❤️ Favourite Part was - How you broke Topic of "You can't enter in the same river twice" -- This analysis busted all my fear regarding Essay paper. Thank you So Very much Sir 😊

[@UnderStandUPSC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pragyatyagi5310]

Sir your understanding of the paper is impeccable. Thankyou for this extensive analysis.

[@Nitinjamadagni2]

Idk how should we thank u, sir❤.

[@harrykhan753]

Thankyou sir. You didn't just the way to write, but also the way to speak. You are also a good orator who can stimulate the masses with your good thoughts.

[@nikitaojha1809]

Speechless ❤ Aap hi hamare sandip bhaiya ho satyam sir . Can't thank you enough . 🙏

[@arundhatichaudhari8534]

The best part for me was how beautifully you broke down the topic "you cannot step in same river twice", starting with you = can be individual, society, company, country etc , river = flow, change, opportunities, this made me see the topic with a very different perspective as i am not a person who loves to write things in a pestel approach and this made me really analyze that how i like to approach things which till now I wasn't that aware of 😅 Thank you for removing the stress if essay which most of us have these days 😊😊

[@tanvisawant111]

'Thankyou so much' falls so short for all your efforts for us.

[@prakashjadhav2356]

Thank u so much Sir for your unpaid and selfless guidance..... ❤

[@avnigupta1210]

Spending each and every second on ur videos is worth of it sir.....u r really a gem

[@shantipurnjivan3120]

Thank you for guiding in the right direction to explore ownself.

[@AjayKumar-qr8tw]

Greatness of something (an event or a person) is determined by the change that it brings I.e., the degree of difference 'before and after'. This video has literally done that to my perspective of essay. I generally don't comment on a youtube video, but this deserves. If we don't compliment now, the river might pass along.😀 Thank you bhai

[@rajattripathi5]

Your way of guiding is very scientific and practical which will defintely help the aspirants to increase their chances of selection.. Keep it up with your good work!! 👌

[@nishasumersingh3438]

You are courageous sir . Apki mehnat dikhti h . Aap aaye apne kha ki maine mehnat kri h bhut or ne bhi kri hogi lekin wo sb agr glt guidance dekh k bhi chup rhe h .. M nhi hu unme se .. mere pas clarity h m baat krunga sbse .. ur courage is infectious sir ❤ Aap bs upsc guidance hi nhi de rhe h aap sikha rhe h ki jb prblm ho to uska solution kiya jata h chahe aap akele ho .. Thanku so much sir for giving such insights.. Apki himmat sehat hmesha salamat rhe ❤

[@sutixnakaushal9376]

I always underestimate this essay paper.. but from this video.. it realises me ki kisi ko chota mt samjo ...ae vo marchis ki tili hai Jo pure jangal ko jala deti hai. Thanku sir .. I have learned lot of things from this video and going to implement in my answer .

[@anilyadav-bo8bj]

Watching your video in my tea break and thank you sir because for me this is the most scaring paper

[@Mitali90]

I was so afraid of the essay, but after this I realized this is the most beautiful way to open up the mind and to think with liberty and express yourself as you are, thank you so much for this ❤

[@UnderStandUPSC]

Wonderful!

[@aastharanjan7257]

Sir, you are also showing us a vision so you are also a true poet.

[@shivanijha9513]

Just can't Thank you enough for this!✨ & of course the concluding line-- THIS IS AN END TO THE ERA OF PAID MISGUIDANCE 🔥

[@shanumanhas9474]

Thank u so much sir for busting the myths of essay preparation and giving us clarity about this paper ... sach mein bhut relax feel ho raha ki kuch bhar utra hai sar pe se ....MY FAV PART OF VIDEO IS " brainstorming " ki "aacha toh aise sochte hain"😂

[@Rppsss]

Sir, I liked the way how you expanded the dimensions of poet which I never thought of.

[@preettyagi1816]

LOVELY EXPLANATION

[@panther6997]

Thank you so much Satyam sir, I was wandering in so many different places. But I found ur channel which gives ultimatum to upsc preparation. Thanks for sharing the things which you know and helping lots of aspirants like me, may God give all strength and courage to you and your group for revealing misunderstandings of the society. Thank you so much once again.

[@ektasangwan2852]

Amazing session ...best video i ever watched on how to deconstruct essay in such a beautiful manner . Thanku so much sir 🙏

[@mariyajermyshaji117]

Simply amazing, nothing else. Thank you sir! Please try to add caption (English) as well sir, at times I felt Iike I am missing out on important points due to my less proficiency in understanding Hindi.

[@Syedaa01]

A little late, but finally watched this video. Absolute masterpiece, I must say💯

[@doesntmatter8541]

Thankyou for ur efforts.

[@Wonderland1322]

Thankyou sir...btw you are yourself a true poet give vision to ourselves 😊

[@team4glider_iitb]

Today, after watching the whole video, I am much more appreciating the fact that why the essay paper is ALSO called a test of one's clarity of thought and depth of understanding of things around us. Everybody observes the same things around them and studies the same thing for GS papers. It's just the way we perceive, interpret, develop a perspective of it and APPLY it in the essay paper, that creates the difference between a 150 marker and a 90 Marker Essay. Thanks a lot, sir for redefining my lens of studying the GS portion, and also looking at the general things in life, for the essay paper. It's about creativity and structured thinking. I really liked the part about using the same anecdotes for different dimensions. It will help generate several ideas and pointers even if one has a limited set of anecdotes and examples with them, and has diligently worked with them. I also learned many new ways to address a point and link several points/egs together (examples ko ideas ke saath perona, as you say); Especially, the Intro-to-Post Intro part, and the PUC-to-Conclusion part were quite intriguing. In the end, I just want to say that Satyam sir you and the whole Understand UPSC team, are also poets who are generating new ideas, helping countless many aspirants (the present and the future ones too!), and bringing clarity to our minds. But we all will never let your efforts go unacknowledged. Thank you!

[@happymalik6590]

people respect rich even if they earned that money by wrong deeds, people respect politicians even if they indulged in wrong practices just to win election , people praise fake people because they act like caring but have ulterior motives . Society becomes what it value, whether its money power or muscle power , there is no one to blame other than the values which we desire. but there are people like you also who follow ethical values and for the aforementioned reasons i admire people like you and want to be a part of society which value ethics and certainly you are a proud member of it .

[@prachisinha1305]

Words rly seems less. I just can't explain how much my perspective to essay has just changed in this one hour only. !! And it's sure from now on I will tend to see each and every essay for very different angles. And to be honest....poet wla to bhaiiii....i don't think i could have thought it like that in this world😅 Hatts off to both of u :)🙏

[@User-56-90]

Great efforts sir, you are doing a revolutionary work in the field of education, great sir
