Meanwhile, an IAS officer Shah Faesal also extended his greetings.
“A time came in my life when I found myself at the bottom of a ditch, professionally and personally. My qualifications still mattered on paper, but the world had moved on. Friends had vanished, recognition had faded, and the future felt sealed shut,” he wrote.
“In that low moment, I resolved to make one last attempt to return to public service, though I doubted anyone would take a chance on me again. Would I be judged for being a Kashmiri, being a Muslim? The opening came sooner than I imagined. A true visionary recognized the worth in my modest beginnings and the struggles that had shaped me. He seemed to read the intent behind my journey, he forgave, the way a priest-king might, measuring not pedigree but purpose. It was a quiet gesture that restored my dignity. Some day I will tell the entire story but for today this much should suffice.Many happy returns of the day to the man who transformed a billion lives - Honble Prime Minister of India,” Shah Faesal wrote—(KNO)
