congratulations mr. sivanandan!
so yesterday i was so proud to read that my friend (and yes it makes me even prouder to say that!!!) mr. sivanandan has been appointed director general of police!!!!
a man of incredible integrity and great humility- i am always in awe of him when i do meet him! it is easy to abuse power and position and he is one of the few men who never abuses either. a supporter of my every endeavor, he is always offered me valuable advice and insight. when i have needed help in any way or even lost faith in work that i am pursuing; his words of encouragement make me strive harder! Â in a world where appearances are planned and pre-planned, where logo sizes are more important than what a company stands for and where being late is fashionable and being on time, a sign of failure- this is the one man who breaks every rule and commands the respect of a crowd and of a city–because he deserves it!
he just is. there are no trappings, no starry tantrums, no brick walls to break down to get to him– he is available, accountable and it is his assurances that have made us feel safe in the city today! he doesn’t play the blame game and the buck stops with him! direct, to the point and with a no-nonsense approach ; he won over the trust of a city reeling from the worst calamity in years- 26/11! he gave us our city back and i feel safe now!
thank you mr. sivanandan for making the mumbai police easier to approach,web savvy, fitter and safer!
with you as director general…i know our country takes one large step in the right direction!
