The Revelation!
Baton passes to the Honorable Chair. She tells me that my interview is over, with a smile. I was confused as to why the lady member didn't ask any questions. She was also observing me closely and there was continuous discussion going on between the Honorable Chair and the Honorable Lady member throughout the interview .
(It was later when I came back home and like a jolt of lightning, this idea of googling 'Latest UPSC member' comes to me. I'm finally able to confirm the identity of the Honorable member. I add two and two together and come to the conclusion that probably the new member was getting instructions on how the assessment goes on in real time, while I was the 'Specimen'. )
(Board was cordial but I felt as if they were not at all satisfied with my answers, based on their non verbal feedback and incessant cross questioning. Idk if it was their deliberate approach for stress testing, or my elevated senses were just making me overtly self critical or maybe my responses just left a lot to desire. I will never be sure.)
I get up, smile and thank all the honorable members. With my head held high and without completely disintegrating my sense of self, I come out, passed on my best wishes to the next candidate waiting outside, and made an exit.
*THE END*

Value that Sherlocking Offers!
In a market obsessed with content bombardment my philosophy has always been simple. An excess of information leads to a poverty of attention.
My offering is a time saving process which gets you the best shot, my support and a process which will make you independent moving forward.
What I bring to the table is summarised in this parable:
""A giant ship engine failed. The ship’s owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.
Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.
Two of the ship’s owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!
A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.
“What?!” the owners exclaimed. “He hardly did anything!”
So they wrote the old man a note saying, “Please send us an itemized bill.
The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with a hammer………………….. $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap…………………….. $ 9,998.00"
Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference!
I'll shortly release the details of the Sherlocking Mains and Sherlocking Ethics module which have been designed on the aforementioned philosophy!
