While senior Union Secretaries, Additional Secretaries, and Joint Secretaries routinely step out of modest, government-contracted white Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and Honda sedans in the VIP porch, one of their relatively junior colleagues has chosen to step out of his own BMW car in the VIP porch. He has thrown his peers into a tailspin, triggering intense debate, raised eyebrows, and a pressing need for "out-of-the-box" thinking across bureaucratic circles. People in power corridors are well aware that it requires courage, self-discpline and conduct to follow his footsteps. 

Interestingly, the officer’s stellar track record of professionalism and integrity is so well-established that commuting in a BMW remains a mere choice and outlook, incapable of touching his impeccable credentials.
