Salary of the Secretary in The GoI
They should be given still higher pay for the topmost decision level. This is not even compatible with youngsters in MNCs at the middle management level.

Vinod Arora

Jointmanship calls for parity
Amongst the three services, life in the Army is undoubtedly the most demanding. It imposes privations like no other service does. Post the Kargil War, this fact was realised by one and all and the Amy instituted the Bagga Committee to improve the career prospects of officers. These were thereafter considered by the AV Singh committee constituted by the Government. The Army had recommended the institution of an additional rank - Colonel General - and had asked for substantial increases in the flag ranks. The Air Force and the Navy had not associated themselves with the committee. The AB Singh committee recommended only a marginal upgradation as compared to the Army's demands.
As it stands today, only 1.3 percent of Army officers hold the rank of Lt Gen as against 1.9 percent officers of Air Force and Navy holding equivalent ranks. The disparity manifests itself most vividly in inter services organizations. A senior Brigadier often serves under a Naval/ Air Force officer of higher rank, who is otherwise junior to him in service. The result is an untenable environment.
The Army Chief's assertion that additional vacancies in flag ranks be based on a pro rata basis will help in keeping this anomaly at its current levels. Going by the advice of the Navy or Air Force, the anomaly will only be further enhanced. In an era of joint operations and tri-service synergy, such a situation will militate against efficient operational planning and execution.
Your opinion is solicited.

We should sympathise with President Mushaffaf

We should sympathise with President Musharraf for the predicament he is in after Benazir Bhutto demanded that he take off his uniform. Imagine a married man being told by a woman via the press to take off his clothes! Even Princess Diana made no such demand from Prince Charles. The only option for poor Musharraf is to have a compromise with Benazir and follow the shining example of Salman Khan [Sallu Baba] and take off his shirt but retain his trousers. If Musharraf takes off his entire uniform who knows what all he will reveal? He is good at concealment especially of core issues like Kashmir etc. The only other option for him is to embrace Sikhism so that when he reveals all , at least he will have his katchhas on. But as a Sikh how can he remain in Pakistan as President or Prime Minister? He is originally from Old Delhi though ordinarily a resident of Islamabad just like our own PM who is originally from Pakistan though ordinarily a resident of Gauhati. The two can exchange places . Our PM can embrace Islam and move to Pakistan and Musharraf can return to Delhi. On the way both of them can also embrace each other. Fair exchange is no robbery as the saying goes!

Mark of the Tilak!!

While it is the CECs prerogative to carry on with his business of conducting elections etc, for which he is responsible, it is the "tilak" on his forehead that one is objecting to.

Such hugely visible marks of one's professed faith are an anachronism in a democratic society - more so for a public servant holding a high office. It is just not done - what sort of example is he setting for his juniors. I am also certain the Service Conduct Rules do not allow such display - what has the Government to say on this??

TAIL-PIECE

Amazing joke!!!

Musharaf, Manmohan, Aishwarya Rai and Sonia are travelling in a train.

The train goes through a tunnel and it gets completely dark. Suddenly
there is a kissing sound and then a slap! The train comes out of the
tunnel. The women and Manmohan are sitting there looking perplexed.
Musharaf is bent over holding his face, which is red from an apparent
slap. All of them remain diplomatic and nobody says anything.
Sonia is thinking:
These Pakistani are all crazy after Aishwarya. Musharaf must have tried to kiss her in the tunnel. Very proper that she slapped him.

Aishwarya is thinking:
Musharaf must have tried to kiss me but kissed Sonia instead and got slapped.

Musharaf is thinking:
Damn it. Manmohan must have tried to kiss Aishwarya.
She might have thought it was me and slapped me.

Manmohan is thinking:
If this train goes through another tunnel I will make another kissing sound and slap Musharaf again ...JAI HIND

Now USA 's put 123 Deal on fast track!!!
Commies may demand that Kakodkar apna boriya bistar Vienna me karre pack!!!

They could demand that Kakodkar returns,
And US attempts to hasten the Deal India spurns!!

But UPA seems to working behind the scenes!!!
Official line is Kakodkar is not attending the NSG meet but will actually attend is what one gleans!!

Kakodkar will be absent on paper but present by his presence!!
And this is going to get the Commies tense!!

And the barking will continue….. bite is still some time away!!!
But on Kakodkar working behind the scenes nothing the Commies will say!!!

Because if they talk of Kakodkar working behind the scenes and not withdraw support!!
It'll be seen that they do not do what they purport!!

And we know at this stage Commies are in no position or mood to pull the plug!!
They do not want to let go off on power their hug!!

So they'll demand that he comes back!!!
And offer that in Vienna Commie outfit will help him to pack!!

Buddhadeb has requested that Commies should not be anti America just for the heck of it!!!
Now the Commie phataka or cracker on both sides has been lit!!!

Commies themselves have cracked up and are fighting!!!
At each other's heels they are biting!!!

Karunanidhi continues his anti Ram tirade!!!
It's all a devious charade!!

If doubts are to be created than what proof is Karuna's Dad is really his Dad???
His birth certificate is his history and it conforms he's his Dad's lad!!!

Ramayana too provides Ram's historicity and is Ram's birth certificate!!!
Gives all the details and Ram's existence it does certificate!!!

And in TN Ram is an ancient icon!!!!
Why is Karuna trying to pull this con????

Tomorrow he'll question Moses qualification for making the sea part!!!
Fact is both Ram and Moses practiced divine art!!!

Karuna's attack on religion should not be taken lightly and he should be reprimanded!!
Cutting across religion lines Believers should get together and an apology from Karuna should be demanded!

And a demand should be made that he remove his goggles and look at us in the eyes when he brays!!!
Because we'd like to see what his eyes and his mouth says!!!

I say 'bray' because this is what his anti Ram statements are!!!
That's why his statements on Ram and brays should be taken at par!!

Whose instructions in shorthand did Dhawan take to blast Soni???
Was it an old crony????

Or was it because the HP air has made him go light in the head!!!
And in a moment of light headedness he said what he said!!!

Project PM by 2009….. Maya's vision!!!
But don't you think it's a tall order what Maya karr rahi hai envision!!

Her Social Engineering worked in UP but don't forget the other factors that led to her winning!!!
And now this engineering getting her to the PM's chair hopes she's pinning!!

But then everyone has his or her right to dream!!!
Though at this time very improbable karta hai Maya ka dream seem!!

Sanju Baba's day of getting the judgement is approaching fast!!!
Till then he's having a blast!!!

His mane is growing back but once he goes back will he shave his mane???
Or on his head he'll let his mane remain!!

All will depend on his Legal Team's outlook!!!
They'll be advising him if in SC they'll be able to get him off the hook!!!

If there is hope he'll not go in for the crew cut!!
He'll not even go in for the cut if at present in his Legal Team's advice there is an 'if or but'!!!

Like they say we are live on hope!!
This is what makes us with the worst of scenarios cope!!!
