I am a staunch reader of your site, and would like to congratulate you on your comendable work.
But I have a complaint. We don't get to know enough about the changes in Karnataka, I don't know why . Still I hope you will look into this state too.

FORUM

1.6th pay commission should have part-time members from the defence forces and the central services.
2.civil services board should have at least one central service officer.
3.search committees for constitutional/regulatory posts should be headed by non-officials.
4.2year gap for empanelment is violative of the central staffing scheme.
A S Rathore

Empanelment as well as finalization of central deputation is a full fledged scam. Officers pursue their files from desk to desk using extraneous pressure and this also involves blocking others files by hook or by crook. Grading of all officers should be on the web so that the process is transparent.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

At Mahajan's funeral I noted that BJP Leadership are an emotional lot….all of them had moist eyes,
As they said to Mahajan their final bye byes

Rajnath cried his heart out……. Advani had tears in his eyes and his voice quivered….. Vajpayee had tears rolling down his cheeks…… Venkaiah was distraught……… Jaswant was shaken……. the lament was ' Kaay jhaala' ( what happened in Marathi)!!!!! Was obvious that BJP's a large family and they lost an able son….. honhaar beta!!!! As for Pravin Mahajan seems his favorite song is….. Na biwi na bachcha naa Baap badaa na Bhaiyaa….. the whole thing is that ke sabh se badaa Rupiyaa…. And he's living up to his favorite song!!!!

Both Anil and Mukesh came to the funeral ….. returned to work and were back at each others throats,
Why the hell can't they make up now that they sail in their individual boats?????

Thought that funerals make people realize their mortality and make people contemplate!!!! Seems both the brothers are not affected by funerals….. reality does not bite!!! Its said that brothers should keep their tents apart and hearts together…… in the Ambani brothers case the former has been achieved but the latter is nowhere in sight!!! Don't they realize that if they go from strength to strength they do the same Ma and Pa proud???? What's a few Billion Rupees less or more going to matter to them....... for them Rupiya should hardly matter now!!!!

Finally Anil has got the monkey off his back,
Given his relationship with Amar the sack!!!

Amar may try to cover up but fact is now the relationship is not the same. Yes, they may continue to be family friends but Amar no longer has Anil's ear!!!! And Amitabh may be issuing a disclaimer that he is not responsible in any for the actions of Bhabhi and Dewar….. Amar and Jaya!!!! Amitabh says he now wants a hassle free apolitical existence….. seems Jaya is not in step with Amitabh!!!!! Anil is back to his business, Amitabh back to acting…. and Jaya who had an idle existence till she got into politics is latching on to politics so that she does not become idle again!!!! As for Amar they say you can put a dog's tail in a pipe for years but when you take the tail out its going to be as bent or crooked as it was when you 'enpiped' it!!!!

IIM's are intrigued about the Indian Railways turnaround,
They say reason for this has to be found!!

Well they seem to be knocking on the wrong door……..that is Laloo's door!!! Yes Laloo should get a thnak you for taking up from where Nitish left…. the ideas are all from the Nitish era…… and for giving Railway Officials the free hand to go ahead!!! Actually on the free hand part he had not option…. he was so busy electioneering and politicking that this was the best option available to him!!! So Kudos to Nitish and Railway Officials and a big thank you to Laloo!!!!

Prices of food grains have doubled……. UPA needs to check price rise,
Today's inflation figure is just a pack of lies!!!

With the rise in food costs in actuality inflation should be in double digits!!!! And what's happened to the Red Brigade who boast that they have the pulse of the people in their hands!!!! Like take Dal….. the prices have literally doubled…… cooking oil….. up by 40%……….. rice and aata are up by 20%!!!!! Seems the Commies have stopped eating ghar ka khaana and so they've no noticed the price rise…… after all being in power, though indirectly, Commies are wined and dined…….. even by UPA ……the Coordination Meetings are fully catered affairs!!!!

Funny but Sachin who today is a non performer nets Rs. 180 crores in ad guarantees,
Performers ko yeh baath sure karre gi cheese!!!!

In actuality now Sachin should be looking for a honorable exit…… lest he wants to go out the Ganguly way!!!! And what cheeses off the Indian Public is that a man who makes so much money had to go with a begging bowl to the Government to get an exemption for importing the Ferrari gifted to him….. and that's not all he then went again with his begging bowl to get an exemption on Homogenization for the car!!!! In fact now that he's got such a windfall he should cough up the Duty for his Ferrari car and for the Homogenisation !!!!
