I agree with you Ranbir...

Very often we see passions dying down when it becomes 'work' for oneself...

Just a thought here...
Could motivations be low considering the fact that people joining the IFS get lesser attention than the IPS or the IAS recruit. They don't get too many salaams around either... Am saying this, being the son of a senior IPS officer and having seen the differential treatments and oppurtunities people get, I feel it is somewhat true...
