An Italian thinker Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) Said: that “a embodied the basic tenets of Renaissance humanism, which considered humans empowered, limitless in their capacities for development , and led to the notion that people should embrace all knowledge and develop their capacities as fully as possible in all areas of knowledge, in physical, and in the field of arts. An upright, capable and a model police officer, a lover of sports & physical fitness, an accomplished poet, a literary personality, social reformist and above all, a self-committed human being who wants to spread the message of peace and harmony in the entire world, the multi-talented and gifted, M.F. Farooqui perhaps epitomizes the very spirit of that golden Renaissance era.

The Highly versatile Farooqui was placed 68th in the final merit list of the prestigious All India Civil Service exam. He has represented his departmental team in lawn tennis in the World Police games held in New York. His recently published of poems “Thoda Sa Main” ( A Little Bit Of Me) has been applauded and appreciated by noted columnist Khushwant Singh besides many other celebrity poets. There is more to M.F. Farooqui’s personality but before we could put our questions to him, he fired first with a query that yours is a business magazine, how do I fit into it? We took some times to convince him that this publication is all about celebration the entrepreneurial spirit displayed in any field and also about highlight individual talents that touch our lives for the better. We started off with the question that perhaps he was also expecting, how does he manage such diverse interests so well despite all the pressures of being a senior police official? He admits that it is not easy.

“With the blessing of the almighty and of those of my parents and with the support of my family, I have managed to strike a fairly good balance between my professional duties and my varied interests, my love for sports and my passion for poetry.”

Why me, for that matter, anyone can achieve and manage diverse interests if one pursues them with devotion and passion, “Says he making it sound simple. Perhaps it’s the quest for excellence in whatever he does as well as the sincerity of purpose he been able to excel in as policing and poetry. He has been decorated and honored with Police Seva Medal by President of India for discharging his professional duties with dedication. Considered and admired as a ‘thinking officer’ by his peers and colleagues, he wants to change the policing system for the better. “Every time complaints come to me, they have a stereo type response” JEE POLICE WALE SUN NAHI RAHE JI” (police officers are not listening to their problem). My efforts are to change the approach and the attitude of the officials so those public grievances are removed and justice is displayed, “says Farooqui.
