A man sitting hunched amidst a pile of files in a dusty office, 40 and flatulent, probably with heart issues. If this is your idea of an IAS officer, it is certainly not who Abhishek Singh is. If his Instagram page is any indication, the 2011-batch officer seems to be living a glossy life. In one photograph, he looks dapper in a grey suit at an iftar party hosted by former MLA Baba Siddiqui. In another, he pouts into the camera in a selfie with fashion designer Manish Malhotra, along with a posse of beautiful people who seem like they walked out of a bumper issue of Vogue. In a third, he is seated in a settee with actor Suniel Shetty, both smiling as though they had just won the lottery to health, wealth and happiness.
“Generally, people think that if you are doing serious work, you should look serious,” says the 31-year-old civil servant. “They think that is how one looks responsible. But the truth is, a person will look responsible by the work he is delivering. Not by the expression on his face.”

A golden girl
One of India's most formidable beauties passed away earlier this month. The odd thing is she would absolutely hate this obituary; she hated being written about and avoided publicity for all of her nine decades. Indira Aswani was 93 when she died. But anyone who encountered her, even briefly, was in such awe of her grace and poise, and one could not but remember her forever.

India is not a controlling big brother
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay considers India a benevolent elder sibling as the \"big brotherly attitude\" is happily missing from bilateral ties. He thinks the relationship shared by the two countries has become a model of friendship not just for the region, but for the entire world. \"India's attitude is definitely not of a big brother who is controlling and does not allow the little brother to blossom and grow,\" says Tobgay in an exclusive interview with THE WEEK.
