Super Boss-Super Cop ____By way of a reminder

A bit of cajoling has done the trick. Civil servants do need to be produced on to get along with any job-big or small. Isn't the practice of sending reminders and urgent-marked Dos a flourishing correspondence in all governmental writing? Discovering Super Bosses and Super Cops in the highly surcharged and competitive world of civil servants is surely no easy business- and that we're learning everyday. At long last names have begun to trickle in from different states but, one thinks, a few words of explanation along with the nomination-not like what is written on emotionless files, but like what may make a readable one liner-would make this exercise a lot more interesting. This, therefore, is by way of a second reminder in the journey of discovering Super Souls.

It's a sad reflection of our system

If one reads through most of the nominations being posted on super boss then one defining parameter to all of them is 'honest and upright officer' which indicates that our bureaucracy has become so corrupt overall that 'honesty' (which one is supposed to have) rather than exceptional performance has become the defining criteria for any assessment. This is a rather sad reflection of our system.

Why this exercise is limited to IAS and IPS ?

Why is this whole exercise limited to IAS and IPS? Do you like most of our feudal netas think that other service officers viz IFS, IRS, IAAS, IES, etc play no role in our governance process?.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

On the podium in Amritsar Sonia held the sword with glee,
And Amrinder sulked in the second row….. moping that his relegation all could see!!!

Sonia is on a road show in Punjab……… in fact if she had undertaken such a show in place of Amrinder's ' Bakwaas Yatra', today Congress would have not been in such a dismal position!!! Sonia seemed embarrassed by the show of sycophancy put up by Dullo and Singla…… fact is jabh takk sooraj chand rahegaa chamcho ka yehi kaam rahega!!! Amrinder was made to sit in the second row and the message was loud and clear!!! In Punjab Congress seems to have lost it…… organization is poor and confidence levels in Punjab Congress are low….. classical signs of loosing the elections!!!

What has Amrinder done for Patiala????
Except for his Heritage Projects baaki sabh kuch Amrinder ne hai taala (postpone)!!!

Amrinder's New Moti Bagh Palace glimmers and so do the Heritage Sites….. apart from these Patiala has seen no development!!! Today to garner votes Amrinder's relatives have divided Patiala into zones to canvass for Amrinder….. where were all these relatives for the past five years…… bijli, sadak and pani conditions are woeful in Patiala!!! They could have done the same division amongst themselves to get work done in Patiala….. but then these ex Royals were busy partying and living it up!!! Its time Patialaites put ex Royalty in their place….. in the bin!!!

Prices continue the upward spiral…… onion prices rocketing,
And profits exporters and hoarders are pocketing!!!!

Onion prices are rocketing as exports of onions are rising!!!! Pawar of course is against stopping onion exports……. his agenda is that onion prices should remain in double digits!!! And just as match fixing allegation resurface in the Cricketing World its alleged that a lot of fixing is going on in the commodity space too!! Manmohan should know the effects of inflation on development ….. and Sonia should know the effects of inflation on Votes!!!! Still no concrete steps are being taken……. Why????

Natwar is daring Congress to expel him from the Party,
He uses language against Congress that one would call tarty!!!

Things have gone sour for Natwar and so has his talk!!! Natwar wants Congress to expel him and Congress is in no mood to do so!!! So for all purposes Natwar is in 'animated suspension' !!!! SP intends to use Natwar to deliver ' I was an insider and I know everything' speeches from SP podiums!!! In fact maybe Mulayam will pen the Forward to Nut's upcoming book on the Volcker matter and Big B will release the book!!!! In UP Colleges this book would be made a part of the syllabus…… however outside UP this book will be found in the Fiction Section of Bookshops!!!

In BCCI Sehwag has a Sugar Daddy or Daddies,
Sehwag is turning out to be in the Indian Cricket team one of the baddies!!!

He refused to turn up for practice despite his dismal form!!! Despite his dismal performance he refused to accept that there was something wrong with his batting!!! He was casual and arrogant!!! Youngsters who have done well on the domestic circuit and deserve a place in the Indian Team are not being considered because of Sehwag's Sugar Daddy or Daddies!!! Sehwag needs to be sacked…. his batting is dismal and his behaviour is atrocious!!!

Match fixing is back in the Centre stage,
Now the match fixing allegations of a West Indian player karr rahi hai rage!!!

Rajiv Shukla can go blue in his face trying to deny the match fixing allegations but match fixing is a reality!!!! Why does Shukla try to deny the obvious!!! Well if you look at Shukla's track record he has this uncanny habit of defending the indefensible…. that's his way to remain in business!!! With thousands of crores being bet on matches only dimwits or Bookies Buddies would deny match fixing!!!!
