How is the life of Excise or Customs Inspectors selected through SSC CGL?
I joined this department in 2016 after resigning from a decent government job expecting some rosy picture about the job but the real picture is completely different. Let me put it this way. Inspectors r entrusted with myriad kinds of works while posted in a range like TRAN- 1 verification, mismatch between GSTR 2A, GSTR 1 and 3B, issuing letters to non filers, arrear recovery, scrutinizing pending ST 3 returns, RFD -01, miscellaneous reports etc. The working environment is flexible and easy and one can get ample amount of time left for having a balanced family life and inculcating some kinds of hobbies.2. It is a sought after post in SSC CGL due to aura of uniform and other perquisites like there's a kind of social acceptance for the said post among our friends and relatives. But be aware that it's only limited upto that and not in the department. Inspectors are perceived to be mundane by their bosses. Whereas 70% of the work is done by inspectors and superintendents but sadly they are like unsung heros of the department. It may sound harsh but reality is that it is one of the departments where there exists a steel iron wall is drawn between bureaucrats and employees.3. As far as the inter Commissionerate transfers are concerned, the department has put a ban on it (even spouse case is not entertained). Once one gets posted somewhere he gets a kind of punishment to live there only, almost till he becomes Group A officer. The discrimination in transfers persists as if inspectors are not human beings.4. The promotion and career avenues for an inspector are also distressing in nature. In short one may end up being frustrated if he is posted far away from home by facing several mental and emotional pressures.5. Keeping all the things aside, if you are clear about the priorities of life and able to fulfill the expectations bestowed on your shoulders then you are a winner.

What is the life of an IFS (Indian Foreign Services) officer? How is it different from an IAS (Indian Administrative Services)?
I will try to answer the second part of the question (how life in IFS is different from that in IAS). In doing so, I hope to cover some aspects of the first part of the question.The differences are:(i) An IAS officer rises to the most exciting, fulfilling and satisfying part of his/her career within 5 to 8 years of his/her service. This phase is when he/she is Collector/DM. An IFS officer rises to this phase in his/her career after 12 to 18 years. This is when an IFS officer becomes Consul General or Ambassador. But the IFS officer has an edge over his/her IAS counterpart in this aspect since this phase lasts for 17–25 years in case of IFS, while it is about 6–8 years in case of IAS.(ii) An IAS officer spends most of his/her life dealing with grassroots level. An IFS deals with leading members of the society, whether it is Indian delegations visiting foreign countries or citizens of the country where the IFS officer is based.Within 4 months of my first posting abroad, I was involved in the first State Visit of former PM of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee to Russia. As a young Second Secretary, I handled all agreements signed during former PM Vajpayee’s second visit to Russia.Below is a photo of the signing ceremony in Kremlin, Moscow. Former PM Vajpayee and President Putin are in the centre. On their sides are former EAM Yashwant Sinha and former FM of Russia, Igor Ivanov. I am standing next to former EAM.(iii) An IAS officer deals with day-to-day administration and his day is spent dealing with files and matters related to daily life of people. From day one, an IFS officer prepares reports that help shape the foreign policy of India. As a young Under Secretary/Deputy Secretary while posted in the Ministry of External Affairs, I used to prepare the first draft of all speeches and other official documents for President/PM/EAM level visits and meetings.(iv) Unlike his/her IAS counterpart, an IFS officer spends his/her entire life in Capital cities. Whether in developed or in developing world, the best facilities of the country are in the Capital. Hence, the quality of life is better, whether it is housing or children’s education.(v) An IFS officer gets Foreign Allowance when posted abroad. Foreign Allowances, while not comparable to remuneration in the private sector, are much higher than allowances at home. An IFS officer also has other perks and benefits while posted abroad, which are not available to home-based civil servants, including the IAS.
Daniel Levinson and his theories?
Daniel J. Levinson was one of the founders of the field of Positive Adult Development. He was born in New York City on May 28, 1920. He completed his dissertation at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1947, on the measurement of ethnocentrism. In 1950, he moved to Harvard University. He was involved the Harvard Psychological Clinic, led by Henry Murray, and the Department of Social Relations, where he worked with colleagues such as Erik Erikson, Robert White, Talcott Parsons, Gordon Allport, and Alex Inkeles. For 1966 to 1990, he was a professor of psychology at Yale University School of Medicine. His work on positive adult development built upon that of Erik Erikson, Elliott Jaques, and Bernice Neugarten. Levinson's two most important and famous books were "Seasons of a Man’s Life" (with Maria H. Levinson, Charlotte N. Darrow, Edward B. Klein and Braxton McKee) and "Seasons of a Woman’s Life," which both continue to be highly influential works. He was multidisciplinarily oriented. His work on his Life Structure account of adult development reflects that approach. Through a series of intensive interviews with men (1978) and women (1987), Levinson proposed an account based on a series of periods that adults may go through as they develop. During some of the shifts, people went through crises, for example a midlife crisis. At the center of his theory is the life structure, the underlying pattern of an individual's life at any particular time. An individual's life structure is shaped by the social and physical environment. He found that many individuals' life structures primarily involve family and work. Some others variables including religion, race, and economic status were often important. Levinson's four "seasonal cycles" include preadulthood, early adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. Many of the central ideas in "Seasons of a Man's Life" were published by Gail Sheehy (a former student of Levinson's) in her best-selling book "Passages." Sheehy had access to Levinson's research in progress, and published her book before "Seasons of a Man's Life" using some of Levinson's findings. Daniel Levinson died on April 12, 1994 in New Haven, Connecticut. His wife Judy Levinson carried on his work.
