The Civil Servant ....

Hailed as the harbinger of change by the tribal people and townsfolk, he assumed the position of district collector in the remote area of Hacer.
Loin clothed, sunken cheeked that silhouetted the bones with a rib caged posterior, the tribe of Habilu stood waiting in the unrelenting heat of scorching summer.
High officials in khaki uniform, officials of the panchayat samiti, gram panchayat and the zilla parishad and all the local municipal bodies were present amongst the local folks who had ventured from far flung villages, had never felt eager to receive a collector.

A collector nonetheless, a god with prowess of showing magic was expected to serve a population of a million.
