Tact

One conversation lead to another and finally led to a discussion about one brilliant guy. I think it is only a small token of appreciation to have a post on this amazing guy(although volumes have been written about him already)

Brief Profile (ISB folks... notice the spikes in the profile!!!)
RAJU NARAYANASWAMY IAS
First Rank in Secondary School Examination
First Rank in Higher Secondary
10th Rank in IIT Entrance Examination
First Rank in IIT B.Tech Computer Science
First Rank in IAS Entrance Examination
First Rank in IAS Training Institute

After 10 years of commendable service in IAS, he was forced to leave the profession and take up a position in UN. Later he came back to service and latest news is that late September he was shunted from Idukki after unearthing a Rs.19 crore scandal. So what exactly is happening here? A man of such unearthly intelligence does not know how to work through the system and tactfully do good? I may be passing value judgements here but is it true that with such extra-ordinary brilliance comes a certain kind of restlessness that will prevent a person from having any tact?
