The decision of PM creating a new department of forest and wildlife and posting an IFS officer as its secretary is being scuttled by IAS Bureaucracy.

No IAS or IPS only Specialists needed

It is indeed a contentious issue that a financial advisor needs to be a person from the finance services or from IAS/IPS. Actually there is no problem in having IAS/IPS as financial advisor, but I think it is desirable to have a specialist at this job. The job of a financial advisor requires good knowledge of finances as well as sufficient experience in this area. Otherwise, we may see a situation where a scientific advisor in any govt. office(DRDO or any PSU), can be an IAS/IPS, who may have done an engineering/Phd in science, but I think that is not much desirable, as we have ample good scientist to man that post. Similarly, the post of a financial advisor may be manned by an IAS/IPS, but since various capable financial experts from financial services like IAAS/IDAS/IRAS/ICAS are available, they will serve as a better option. Though it is debated time and again that why Secy defence/science & tech/health and others, are IAS and not a specialist, here it is to mention that these posts of Secys are more or less administrative in nature and not too much technical as a post of finance or scientific advisor. Therefore, this trend may not be encouraged, though exceptions may be there. Otherwise, anybody who has done MBBS will say that he can become director AIIMS; an science graduate will say he can become director of DRDO labs, an aeronautical engineer will say he should become the director of airport authority. There is a difference between 'what is available, and 'what is desirable'.

There should only be IAS secretaries
Of course there should be only IAS Secretaries. They are the prime brain of the country, the successor to the omnipotent ICS and the only group having the vision to lead the country. Specialised knowledge is a misnomer. IAS Officers are also specialised in different areas, apart from having that cutting edge administrative acumen. Creating specialised services has generated avoidable aspirations among the less gifted, which should be done away with. We should go back to the ICS days and have only one service. Others should serve this Service.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Now you know why he's called Nut…….and he's getting nuttier with passage of time,
Now Amar Singh's tune he's started to chime!!!


Nut and Amar are natural allies…… birds of a feather!!! Nut should remember that Kunwars don't slip on oil and become 'tellis'!!! And just see how low Kunwar Nut Singh has stooped!!! He knew the trust Sonia reposed in him and he misused the trust by portraying to Saddam that he and his son represented Congress!!! Kunwars don't do this….. not even for a billion barrels of oil!!!! They don't betray trust!!!!

Nut has given a clean chit to Manmohan Singh,
Amar Singh ki tune karr raha hai Nut sing!!!


If you replay the sound bites its obvious that there is a huge disconnect between Nut's tongue and brain!!! Sometime back he was blasting Manmohan and now he's giving Manmohan a clean chit!!!! He's itching to join SP…….. actually SP is a collection of people who are SP…… Sonia se Pareshaan…… Mulayam, Amar and Bachchans!!!! Now Natwar fibs and shams that he and his family could be harmed….. fact is that to see who has harmed him Nut needs to look into the mirror with his son standing by his side!!!

For the paltry cheques to Amar 'Item Boy' karr rahe hai Centre ko blame,
Just an empty blame game!!


For Bachchans SP takes to the street but for Farmers apart form a blame game nothing else!!! And that too when Bachchan is at fault ….. still SP workers go on rampage!!!! No wonders they call SP as Satkeli Party!!!! Mulayam and Amar know that in the upcoming elections SP is going to become Slapped Party and Slammed Party….. slapped and slammed by the UP Voter!!!

After being freed form Laloo's curse Aaloo too is acting pricey…. aloo prices have shot up,
With veggie and daal prices going through the roof Aam Admi aaloo pe karta tha sup!!!


Now even aaloos are disappearing from tables!!! As usual good ole Pawar is sleeping!!! Pawar's been busy …….Champions Trophy and the upcoming SA tour and World Cup. Why can't the Bureaucrats in the Agriculture Ministry do what the Railway Ministry Bureaucrats did when the Railway Minister played truant…. they worked overtime and brought Indian Railways back on track!!! Isn't a Ministry without Political interference every Bureaucrat's dream????

Indian cricket team's payments should be performance linked,
This should be made clear when Contract is inked!!!


This is the only way that these underperformers will perform!!! In Mohali they literally made asses of themselves!!! Such a lackluster performance???? And Mr. Pawar is a miserable Agriculture Minister and his distraction BCCI is not doing any better under him!!!! Seems Pawar is over he hill and should take sanyaas!!!!
