#UPSC IFS #Interview 2016-17

Panel Member Question: Anupam, what drives you in life? Power/Money/Status/Fame

Me: Sir, Achievements.

Member: Plz elaborate.

Contd...

(1/3)
Me: Sir if I solve a puzzle*, that's an achievement for me. If I teach* someone & because of which her/his life improves, that's also an achievement for me. If I can make my parents proud, that's an achievement for me. If I can make someone smile, that's also achievement for me.
Marks: 222/300 (Highest)

*Solving Puzzles & Teaching were amongst my Hobbies, in DAF.

It wasn't 100% impromptu Answer. I had brainstormed "why?" about every aspect of my DAF & life during Interview prep.

Lesson: Like Pre/Mains, Interview also requires proper Preparation

(3/3)
