It’s Official: GoSL says I’m a Change Agent!

Yes - you read it correct! The Government of Sri Lanka says I’m a Change Agent. And it’s issued on an internationally accepted medium - my passport!
More seriously… my job title at work really is Change Agent. Which is really cool when you consider the fact that I was nearly 7 years in AIESEC and just about everything we did was about producing Change Agents.
Of course, I know that having the title Change Agent wasn’t what we meant in AIESEC, but it is still immensely smug to have it as a title, and having it on my passport is way more cool than just having it on my business cards.
Incidentally, it’s quite normal to list your profession on your passport in Sri Lanka, so all I had to do was to submit a letter from work confirming that I was employed as a Change Agent when I applied for a new passport (the old one had run out of blank pages). I doubt if the people at the Immigration Dept. even understood what Change Agent meant - they probably thought it was something on the lines of Sales Agent, Insurance Agent, etc.!
Hey Pissu Sifaan…this is really funny, now you can really say you are a change agent…at least on the paper…(just kidding). Anyway, this sounds really cool!
