I do not agree with Roy

Sudripta Roy has pointed out that PT Usha and Milkha Singh could never win medals at the world stage. He should be very well aware that all the top performers like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal our own cricketers never became World No. 1 in their first few years. In fact all the top sportspersons normally reach to their peak performances atleast after spending 4-5 years at lower rungs. In any case, it's an altogether different ball game. Here Roy's intention appears to shut out all others who have not taken the civil services exam. There are many brilliant minds in the society who can make excellent leaders at the top jobs in the government.

I too wanted to join IAS

I too wanted to join IAS as first preference. I will be honest to confess that it was out of so-called variety in job and challenges but to the very known fact that it not as challenging and demanding as IPS, not out of status as IRS and not out-of-the country as IFS. Its a known fact to all that IAS is a service designed to be at top and without any responsibility. There is no match of perks. You may enjoy cuts and commissions while so-called 'serving' the poor.

Stop bitter services rivalary

With reference to Logic of IAS better than other services officers because of their superior merit in IAS exam. May I extend this logic further? Caliber of an Officer should be checked whether he has taken Coaching for the UPSC exam or he has qualified without any tuition classes. (Naturally who has cleared it without any coaching class is superior than others who joined coaching classes for taking IAS exam). So why not coaching class candidates get lesser pay than others? What a bankruptcy of ideas and stupid logic!
One thing is clear formal this debate. Nobody is arguing about the posts in their own service cadres. Like no IAS is going to join as Income Tax commissioner or SP/DIG. Similarly, IPS/IRS are not going to be collectors and magistrates. The heartburn is for the posts in Government of India at Central Secretariat. The whole argument is for the posts under Central staffing scheme. I want to ask one simple question. Is the salary provided to an officer for his/her caliber or knowledge/experience? or it is for the work/services rendered by him? I think Government pays to any officer for the work performed by him. So why should be any pay scale for services or rank? Instead pay scale should be for the post. A person posted as Collector should not get the same salary as a special secretary sitting in cosy environment of state secretariat. Also by the logic of equal work, equal pay, all collectors should get same salary, whatever it may be. Similarly, pay scales should be for the posts in Central secretariat and all services can be selected for these posts. I think the sixth pay commission has argued for the same where an independent agency like UPSC will select officers in panel for central staffing scheme posts. If you want to give some preference to a service like IAS, they may be able to compete for these posts in less years of service compared to others. But for God sake do not provide more money to IAS for doing the same work compared to other services. This is against the natural justice and the principle of equal work equal pay. Service conditions of different Group-A services may be reviewed and improved if called for. But for monetary purpose, payments should be made for the work/job performed by an officer and not on the basis of his service cadre. All services are excellent, but in their respective fields of specialisation only. IRS officers are excellent in tax collection or field work in their field offices only. At Central secretariat, it is secretarial work (providing advisory services to the Ministers, who are actually running the Government, as per constitutional system). So for Central staffing scheme, all services are equal (difference may be in years of service performed and here IAS can take edge of 2 years, which is genuine and nobody may object to it). Proper selection should be made through a transparent mechanism and nobody will object if IAS get all the posts, but please through a transparent and judicious process only. Please do not bulldoze other services as this will lead to rebellion in the minds of other services. How the other services officers, who vent out so much venom on IAS will behave in Meetings with IAS, Officers, you can only imagine. So please stop this bitter service rivalary and work for the betterment of the country.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

PC demands that those who are anti growth should be rejected,
And Public demands that those who are anti people should be from power ejected!!

Like those who are fixated on growth and don't mind inflation rocketing!!!
And those who are just fixated on 'pocketing'!!!

Inflation is partly because UPA Government ignored the writing on the wall,
Just a blimp on the screen the initial rise they used to call!!

PC and Pawar have literally brought India to its knees,
In cricketing parlance both are way out of their crease!!

Both need to be stumped,
And out of the Cabinet need to be dumped!!

This is why I say Rahul's timing stinks!!!!
Seeing him watching cricket while they suffer inflation what do you feel the Aam Aadmi thinks???

Wonder what his advisors were doing????
I was in a Coffee Shop and seeing him on TV enjoying cricket many were booing!!

Politics is a 24x7 game and one is always in Public glare!!!!
On what a politician does and on his timing a politician must always take care!!!

Munde must be feeling the pinch after bro in law's demise!!!!
At one time he was the cat and he looked at others like they were mice!!!

Now with his mentor no more his position is just not the same!!!!
He's dropped back in the political game!!!!

Hope he sees what's happened to Khurana and Uma Bharti!!!
Now both are willing to do Advani's aarti!!!

And if Munde thought he'd step into Mahajan's shoes then he sure got it wrong,
Munde stepping into Mahajan shoes not a shot even by long!!!

Though I feel this resignation is just a stunt!!!!
After lying low now Munde has stepped out 'to hunt'!!!

After himself hounding Akalis now Amrinder is crying wolf or bagadbilla!!!!
Bhatal is right when it comes to his upper storey Amrinder hai hilla (wonky)!!

Nowadays he's roaming the countryside trying to create fright!!!!
With his own shadow karr raha hai Amrinder fight!!!

Akalis are just giving him the royal ignore!!!
In a way they've shown him the door!!!!

So there is merit in the theory that Sonia was all set to become PM!!!!
But then at the last moment changed her mind and appointed a PM GM!!!!

What made her relent????
Because all ready to take over to Rashtrapathi Bhavan with her GM in tow she went!!!

Was it because she got from would and could be Allies an emphatic thumbs down!!!!
Or was it Vajpayee's advise that it could cause tension as on this Imost Indians would frown!!!

I still remember Sonia coming to her first Press Conference post the election results,
She came carrying a briefcase and on BJP's India Shining she heaped insults!!!

Now it's said that even Kalam was ready to swear her in,
Sonia would become PM was the chant by Congressmen post Congress's so said win!!!

So was Sonia's tyaag a majboori or a tactical move or genuine tyaag????
On her wanting to PM there must be some truth as there cannot be fire without aagh!!!

Poor Big he has to do naach gaana to fund his holiday!!!!
For his upcoming holiday his fans will pay!!!

Seems he's so fixated with paisa that he does not want to pay for his holiday!!!!
And so now he'll perform on stage during his overseas ticket and holiday stay!!!

Confucius says…… Seems for Big B Rupee is sabh se badha or big!!!!
And that's why when to come to paisa for propriety and probity he cares a fig
