It passed off unnoticed in
Lutyens' Delhi. But more than a week after, its importance is dawning upon senior
officials. Despite who’s who of power
corridor in Delhi attending a private function of a joint secretary-level
officer that had failed to catch eyeballs of many in Lutyens but people in the
power corridors are still whispering about the affair cautiously even a week
has gone by. 'Mundan Sanskar' of the daughter
of a Joint Secretary level IAS officer working in the Commerce Ministry has
become a matter of discussion for many senior officials these days. What they
appear to be astonished about is that there are over four hundred Joint
Secretary level officers across all ministries and departments in the Govt of
India but this seems to be something very unheard of that the top echelons of
the country did not miss to attend the invitation. So much so that the event was
attended by President of India, Prime Minister of the country, Union Home
Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Commerce/Industry minister, Health/IT Minister, Chief of Defence Staff General Vipin Rawat, chief ministers of several states and
dozens of former Union ministers (UPA) and Union secretaries too attending the
function but it went unnoticed in Lutyens' Delhi which keeps track of the fact
even how many times PM clapped during the budget presentation.
