Selection should be made on merit

The selection should be made on the basis of merit and fixed tenure , with full accountability, may help. Besides the Chairman need not keep waiting to become a member of settlement commission. Chairman should become chairman.

Who will be CBDT Chief ?

Yes everybody is awaiting the appointment of a new Chairman. During the tenure of the last three Chairmen(s) the IRS ( IT) has become insulated. The focus has been how to trouble an officier & not how to resolve the officers problems. Nor has there been any focus on optimizing the potential of the administration. The emphasis has been more n transfer and postings. Anyone of the current lot in CBDT, including R.R.Singh will be a welcome change as atleast they have an open mind on issues.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Laloo says he's Mantri Number One,
Please take this like a pun!!!

Laloo says , "Maine media se barabar suna aur samjha hai log mujhe do numbri ya joker kehte hain. Main do numbari nahin, main ek number hoon"…… in buffooning he's second to none !!! He keeps harping on the Railways….. well he's just at the right place at the right time!!! The upturn in India's economy brought in a splurge in freight and passenger traffic!! And his absence form the Railway Ministry for extended periods in the initial stage of his stint worked wonders for the Ministry!!!

Nitish has been invited to IIM (A) ….. what topic will he speak on,
Topic will be …..After a fifteen year earthquake called Laloo what Nitish done!!

After fifteen years of direct and indirect ( Rabdi's tenure) Laloo left Bihar in shambles!!! Be it the State's finances, law and order, progress, social development….. all were in shambles!!! Nitish has picked up the strings and is building Bihar!!! So Nitish is going to talk on the uphill task. Hope he'll also touch on Railways and puncture Laloo's claims!!!

Congressis call Amrinder The Terminator……… why????
Because that's what he's done to Congress's prospects for a second term Congressis sigh!!!

Amrinder's Vikas Yatra was outcome of his nervousness!! And the Yatra made him sink further. First were the morphed photographs that appeared in newspapers shamming crowds at the Yatra!!! Then during the Yatra many Punjabis asked him why had he kept them at bay and now why was he undertaking this Yatra??? In fact what shook him was when a semi naked elderly Farmer came up and admonished him. And he should realize the difference between Sangath Darshan and his Vikas Yatra…… Badal sat down with the people to hear their problems…. in Amrinder's case for a major part of the Yatra from atop a Jeep Amirnder waived his ' Hullos' and the people waived back their bye byes!!!

Now UP Sarkaar has awarded Junior Bluffmaster with the Yash Bharti Sammaan,
Award was handed over by Mulayam the Pehelwaan!!!

What a joke…….. apart from Yash Chopra giving him a role there is no other Yash that Bachchan Junior can take credit for!!! His films have flopped left and right!!! As the flops continue the ads are going to dry up!!! Seems the UP Sarkaar is for the Bachchan family only….. they have Papa Bachchan singing his ode to drunks all over UP and they are awarding the son for being a huge flop!!!

Nut has opened his gob again,
He looks on at Anthony as MOD with disdain!!!

Big Nut with Big Mouth has spoken…… Big Nut feels that Anthony is the wrong choice as MOD!!! Then Big Nut challenges Anthony , who also heads the disciplinary Committee, to throw him out of Congress!!! Big Nut first attacks Anthony personally and then throws the expulsion gauntlet!! Seems some people don't even learn the hard way!!!!

Ash is in a soup,
Thinks with her beauty Customs ko karr sakthi hai dupe!!!

Customs interrogated her in the Euros in Parcel matter!!!! She only batted her eyelids in approval and shook her dainty head for disapproval!!! Amar Singh advised her not to open her mouth….. wish he'd follow his own advise!!!!
