    बहुत बार मुझसे पूछा जाता है कि मैं अपनी पर्सनल लाइफ कैसे Manage करती हूँ।
    मेरे Case में मेरे पति India में काम करते हैं। वह एक IAS Officer हैं और हमारी एक Long Distance Marriage है।
    हालाँकि ये आसान नहीं है लेकिन IFS Officers के लिए सरकारी नियमों में कई प्रावधान हैं जो कि हमें मदद करते हैं हमारी Professional और Personal Life में संतुलन बनाये रखने के लिए। ये हो सकता है और ये काफी सफलतापूर्वक हो सकता है।
    काफी लोग मुझसे पूछते हैं कि क्या मुझे Leave मिलती है? क्या मैं अपने परिवार से मिलने जा पाती हूँ? क्या मैं अपनी पूरी ज़िन्दगी अब विदेश में ही Posted रहूंगी? मैं ये सब कैसे मैनेज करुँगी? तो अब कुछ कल्पित कथाओं को दूर करते हैं। नहीं ! IFS Officers जीवन भर विदेशी देशों में पोस्टेड नहीं रहते। आदर्श संतुलन कि मानें तो 45 - 50 % करियर एक अफसर को MEA के headquarters में ही काम करना होता हैऔर बाकी विदेश में। लेकिन ये आंकड़े कोई पक्के आंकड़े नहीं हैं। ऐसे कई ऑफिसर्स हैं जो अपने करियर को अपनी मर्ज़ी से दिशा दे पाते हैं। इस तरह IFS officers के पास ये Flexibility होती है कि वे जब chahein अपने करियर पर ध्यान दे सकते हैं, और साथ ही परिवार को भी समय दे सकते हैं।
    अक्सर मुझसे लोग पूछते हैं कि मैं अपने माता पिता की इकलौती संतान हूँ, क्या वह लोग भी मेरे साथ रह सकते हैं? मैं उनका ख्याल कैसे रखूँगा? तो मैं आपको बता दूँ कि ऐसे प्रावधान हैं, ऐसे नियम हैं जो कि इस स्तिथि से जूझ रहे officers को अपने माता पिता कि सेवा करने में मदद करते हैं। ये मुमकिन है, और मैंने स्वयं अपने साथ काम करने वालो को ये करते देखा है और इसीलिए आपको इस चीज़ कि चिंता करने कि ज़रुरत नहीं है। और मेरा ऐसा मानना है कि जब भी कोई IFS officer विदेश में पोस्टेड होता है तो भारतीय सरकार उनका बेहद अच्छे से ख्याल रखती है। चाहे वह रहने कि जगह हो जो हमें मिलती हैं, या फिर जो वेतन हमें दिया जाता है, उस देश के Standard of Living जैसे United States और Europe में काफी ज़्यादा है तो हमें उस हिसाब से वेतन मिलता है कि हम वहां एक अच्छा और आरामदायक जीवन जी सकें और साथ में कुछ बचत करना बही संभव है।
    अपने परिवार का ध्यान रखना मुमकिन है। उस मायने में मुझे नहीं लगता कि IFS अफसर को चिंता करने की ज़रुरत है। और किसी IFS अफसर को इस बात कि चिंता है तो विश्वास करिये आपको इस चीज़ कि चिंता करने कि बिलकुल ज़रुरत नहीं है। मुझे इन सब बातों के बारे में कुछ नहीं पता था जब मैंने Service Join करी थी। मैं सर्विस अपनी रुचि और अपने जूनून कि वजह से शुरू करी थी क्यूंकि मैंने काफी International Relations और diplomacy पढ़ी थी मुझे काफी ज़्यादा रुचि थी इस नौकरी में। और जब मैंने इस सेवा में प्रवेश किया तो मैं देख के चौंक गयी कि कितनी अच्छी तरह से Posted officers का ख्याल रखा जाता है। तो ये कुछ ऐसी बातें हैं जिनके बारे में आपको चिंता नहीं करनी चाहिए
