Dear Nivedhita,
It's true that no one can beat our honorable PM's resume or his reputation for that matter. He is the best example not only of a teacher, economist, administrator, and politician, but he exemplifies how the most suitable applicant for any position should be. When you possess the best qualifications on earth and gain the richest experience, proving your worth wherever you work, then naturally, the best positions (whether FM or PM or any other) will naturally come towards you rather than you going towards it. Everyone desires to be on top, but few only deserve to be there, and no doubt, our honorable PM is one among them.
Thank you, Nivedhita, for your posting.

Hi Nivedhita, 😆 😆
I have already posted this thread in the forum as MOST EXPENSIVE RESUME ONLINE at the general discussion. You will have to pay me royalties on every view it gets, approximately 10 dollars (American) per hit. 😆 😆 😆 😆
