viewing as Mesha — change
Mesha Rashifal — May 18, 2026
A new portfolio will be assigned, bringing with it a mountain of legacy files and eager junior officers. Your initial inclination to implement swift, decisive changes will encounter the immovable object of established protocol at the Joint Secretary level. Patience is a virtue, especially in the context of file movement.
Expect an urgent request for a detailed 'action plan' for a high-profile initiative. Outline ambitious targets, but ensure the timeline includes ample room for inevitable bureaucratic 'consultation periods'.
By day's end, the initial euphoria of your appointment will be tempered by the sheer volume of procedural requirements. Remember, meaningful change in this Ministry is measured in financial years, not weeks.
