FORUM

IAS officers are best brains but --

N Kumar must remember that every Government Officer has to follow the same code of conduct and his statement that only IAS officers follow it is absurd. Being disciplined and honest is an individuals choice and not because he belongs to a particular service. There are many state service officers in India who after getting IAS have enjoyed more faith and their credibility form people than their counterparts in the IAS. The only reason because they don't get exposure is that they are controlled by the IAS and they are not allowed to grow or function properly. If the IAS officer who is his boss is happy with him for whatever reasons he will grow or otherwise he will get shunted and frustrated. It is true that IAS officers are the best brains in the country and there should be no doubt about it but the State service officers are also those people
who for some or the other reason could not get selected. Looking upon them with contempt and hate only indicates the arrogance of that person. If the person commenting has the guts let him propose that all important post in the govt. be divided between the State service officers and AIS officers on 50-50 basis for 5 years and see the results.

Why did Dravid leave ?

I am sure Dravid must not have left captianship for regaining his batting prowess as is said or propagated by few. Bombay and now Mumbai always looked other outside cricketers as underdogs and today BCI is ruled by these Mumbai people. It is our misfortune that game of cricket is played as a game of politics and narrow regionalism. Dravid is justified to say so as he must have experienced the pinch all throughout.

TAIL-PIECE

Strategy...!!!
Ahmed and Hamid are both beggars at several motorway
services stations.
Ahmed drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage free
house and has a Lot of money to spend.
Hamid only brings in 2 to 3 pounds a day. Hamid asks
Ahmed how he Manages to bring home a suitcase full of £10 notes every day.
Ahmed says, "Look at your sign, . It says, "I have
no work, a wife and six kids to support."
Britons who see that do not feel as if they have
accomplished anything by giving you money.
You will still have no job and a large family.
Now look at my sign."
So Hamid looks and Ahmed 's sign reads:
"I only need another £10 to move back to Pakistan "

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Wasn't Jairam at one time Soni's spoon???
Praises about Soni this man used to croon.

Now both Soni and Jairam turn red in the face at the mention of each other's name!!!
Each other ko karte hai blame!!

Seems Congress wanted to use Ram Setu to endear itself to the majority minority!!
But now its realized that its rankled the majority!!!

There is a bridge and that should make all think!!!
Mythology plank has been jettisoned and karr gaya hai sink!!

There's History of Ram and his Sena using a bridge to cross over to the other side!!!
Case proved when you place History and presence of a bridge side by side!!!

Manmade or nature's magic Setu backs up Ram's History!!!
And proves Ram was not just a hero in a story!!

In its vote bank politics Congress has muddled up Ram Setu issue!!
And now to wipe this blot it's using 'blame game' tissue!!

Commies say UPA is fast moving to become a minority Sarkaar!!
But if it comes to voting out UPA Commies saying from voting they'll stay bahaar!!

Commies say by November UPA will be in minority but Sarkaar will not fall!!!!
Commies will tacitly support Sarkaar and continue to have a ball!!!

Then Commies plan to go to 45 NSG Members with a plea!!!
Will request that the UPA's 'lame duck' status they see!!!

Commies plan to ask NSG Members to postpone talks till next Government is elected!!
Reality is next Government will push thru this Deal as in next election Commie rout is projected!

Seems Commies are pleasing their foreign Masters that they tried their best,
That this 123 Deal with America be put to rest!!!

There is also news that Congress some consumed anti allergic pills to ally with Mulayam!!!
Towards each other Congress and SP could become mulayam!!!

Like they say in politics there are no permanent friends or foes!!!
Exception ….with Amar and Big B Congress will continue to exchange blows!

Kursheed apart from fighting for Soni is now working on fence mending!!!
SMSs of 'friendship' to each other Mulayam and Kursheed are sending!!

Mulayam's son and bro are Amar baiters!!!
For a long time they've been Amar haters!!

They feel Mulayam is in Amar's clutches and needs to be rescued!!!
In the Mulayam household this is a feud!!

With all that Amar knows Pehlwan Mulayam has to stay on in Amar's neck wrap!!!
Its like Amar has wrapped around Mulayam's neck a ' I know all the muck' strap!!

Advani s trying to come onto BJPS's centre stage !!!
Against his detractors campaign within Party karr raha hai Advani wage!!!

But problem is not the insiders!!!
It's going to be the outsiders!!

Because Advani candidature from BJP's allies will face defiance!!
And BJP cannot come to power on its own and will need an Alliance!!

They say Manmohan's 'flow problem' was caused by his holding up his pee!!!
He simply could not excuse himself when he was in meetings especially with Sonia ji!!

When it became difficult to hold and he got up Sonia just gave him a stern glare!!!
And Manmohan ji just plonked back into his chair!!

Now for all the holding up he's paid the price and had to get operated!!!
Many say that Manmohan's 'flow problem' was 'pressure' created!!!

Anyway now he's back home after his operation!!!
Moral of the story….. come what may happen with your bladder no non-cooperation!!

KPS Gill says Virk's arrest will demoralize cops!!!
Is 'a cop cannot be arrested' one of the sops???

Virk is alleged to have amassed wealth and now law has caught up with him!!!
Mr. Gill law does now work on your whim!!

Cops cannot be above the Law!!!
Mr. Gill please do not caw!!!

Laloo is indeed in a very disturbed state of mind!!!
He knows if Midterm Polls are held Bihar voter will kick RJD in the hind!!

And now RJD MPs are trying to make Laloo change his mind!!!
They say supporting Nuclear Deal will put them with Muslim voters in a bind!!

Laloo's trebled his kheni dosage but no temporary respite!!!
Situation for Laloo in and outside his Party is very tight!!

Some say after turning vegetarian Laloo's lost his killer instinct and has become placid!
When it comes to taking detractors head on or pangaas Laloo's gone flaccid!!!

Heard a RJD supporter lament ' Humaare Laloo ji pange lene mein ho gaye hai khassi (impotent)!!
Laloo ji iss ka ilaaj hai banana, pedaa, badam aur chaar magaz ki lassi!!

Bharat Kumar
