New Delhi. Jammu and Kashmir’s first UPSC topper and former IAS officer Shah Faesal has once again indicated his return as a bureaucrat. Former IAS officer Shah Faesal, who resigned from the service in January 2019, citing ‘growing intolerance’ in the country, has become disillusioned with politics. Now Faesal has hinted at returning to the civil service by tweeting something. Faisal has spoken of being excited to make a new beginning.
In his tweet, former IAS Shah Faesal wrote- ‘8 months of my life (January 2019-August 2019) were so heavy that I was almost exhausted. Chasing a fantasy I lost almost everything I had built over the years. Work, friends, prestige, public goodwill all. But I never lost hope. My idealism let me down.
8 months of my life (Jan 2019-Aug 2019) created so much baggage that I was almost finished.
While chasing a chimera, I lost almost everything that I had built over the years. Job. Friends. Reputation. Public goodwill.
But I never lost hope.
My idealism had let me down. 1/3— Shah Faesal (@shahfaesal) April 27, 2022
Shah Faesal further wrote, ‘But I believed in myself that I would rectify the mistakes I made. Life will give me one more chance. A part of my life is tired of the memories of those 8 months and wants to erase that legacy. Much has been lost, the rest of the time will be erased. Just thought of sharing the fact that life is beautiful and deserves to be given another chance. Failures make us strong. Beyond the shadows of the past lies a wonderful world. I am turning 39 next month and am really excited to start all over again.
Let us tell you that Shah Faesal is the first UPSC topper from Jammu and Kashmir, who came into the limelight for the first time after topping the Civil Service Exam in the year 2009.
