Market info has it that the Whispersinthecorridors.com website is being invaded by non-government servants also. This shows its growing popularity among all classes especially those in Delhi who spent hours in clubs / hotels spending on others' bar bills, trying to figure out who is the next Secretary of an important department. The bad fall-out of this is that they are commenting on things that do not concern them such as pay-scales, retirement age etc. All civil servants naturally want higher pay and longer years of service as is the case with other sectors. Your civil service visitors [to the website] all want pay above Rs 1 lakh at middle level and retirement age of 65.
