Aaj Ki Aawaz
With whom is Antulay 'cementing' his ties????
By indulging is such blatant lies!!!

Fact is after the Mumbai attack Mumbai Police was literally headless!!!!!
Both Mumbai Cops and Fire Brigade have for long in a mess!!!

Infighting and groupism is a bimaari in Mumbai Cops!!!!
One of the reason why like a lame duck Mumbai Police hops!!

Cops are underpaid, over worked, under equipped and lack terror training!!!
To admit this why is Maharshtra Sarkaar refraining????

Coming back to Antulay …. is it possible he's been ordered to say what he said???
But end result is he's made the Nation see red!!!

SP twisted the Batla House encounter and now Congress is doing the same!!!
Allies in shame!!!!

Of course Antulay's allegations will be fodder for Pakistan !!!
To point out that this could have been an inside job by Hindustan !!!

Now the proof lies in the pudding….will Congress take Antulay to task???
Let's see what questions Congress karti hai Antulay ko ask!!!!

There is no doubt this Sarkaar was caught sleeping!!!!
Because of its vote ban fixation a vigil it was not keeping!!!

Information was brushed under the carpet as Sarkaar did not want to investigate leads!!!!
In fact questioned 'the feeds' ( from where the leads came)!!!

Today by blaming BJP this Government is trying to hide its own mistakes!!!
What a bunch of fakes!!!

Without a stringent law fight against terror will be without teeth!!!
Without a stringent law terror pe nahi ho sakthi hai jeeth!!!

Sad that the Mumbai attack is now being made a political tool!!!
But do keep in mind Public is nobody's fool!!!

Today sadly Indian politics is a mugs game!!!!
In a way India's biggest shame!!!

Congress played politics and message down the line was loud and clear!!!
Away from doing anything that could alienate majority minority do steer!!!!

Congress has shown that with the right connections you can even get away with genocide!
You just have to have High Command on your side!!!!

Confucius says….. Madam Ji if good could be beaten down by evil,
Then Madam ji you would not be going to Church but to some cemetery to pray to the Devil!

Adds...... For our deeds we have to pay!!!
This is what all the Scriptures say!!!

China agreed to respect the McMahon line when it came to Burma (Myanmar) and thus resolved its border dispute with that country. But it obstinately refuses to recognize the McMahon line when it comes to settling India's north-eastern frontier with China.

Indian high tech companies are operating in China and training thousands of Chinese in information technology. Yet, "Chinese companies are increasingly spying on the Indian IT industry" (http://www.dnaindia.com/mobile/report.asp?n=1213993). And, of course, Chinese hackers regularly hack foreign (including Indian) governmental and other sites and indulge in commercial and military intelligence gathering and the setting up of sleeper spies in the computer networks ready for future strikes.

When it comes to India's vital interests such as the need for support at the NSG for clearance for India's entry into the world of nuclear commerce or to the UN banning Pakistan-centered terrorist outfits, China has dragged its feet.

Alone in the world, not even the Pakistan government keeps company with them on this issue, the Chinese say that the " terrorists who carried out the attacks in Mumbai came from within India!!" (http://www.c3sindia.org:80/terrorismandsecurity/434).

And now comes this story by Indrani Bagchi in The Times Of India that China has promised more (looks like unconditional) military help to Pakistan -- at a time when the United States and other countries are considering linking any future aid to Pakistan with that country's performance in getting rid of all of its terrorist networks.

US-India Friendship
http://usindiafriendship.net/
Let not the issue of CCL fade away. The light should keep on burning so that the flames are seen by our elite leaders, especially the Women leaders. I would like to draw the attention of Renuka Chaudhary. When she was the Health Minister, she made a proposal for opening Yoga Classes (which is still functional) for women, and the crèche facilities for working women within the office premises. CCL which was given to the women employees was purely to benefit the children of the working women who either have to go to crèche after their schools or have to manage on their own since there are very few joint families nowadays. But after the EL clause has been attached, the sole purpose was dissolved. A women would take leave in any case if her child needs her, even if it amounts to taking without pay. But if she has to take leave for her own self, she thinks twice. I think her Earned leave is her hard earned leave which she should take at her own discretion. After all, her health, family obligations etc. are the other reasons for which she could take her EL. If that is exhausted, what will she do when she needs leave for any emergency. Will she take leave on the pretext of taking CCL. That would be unfair. DOPT should not have been harsh in taking this decision. This should be reconsidered by the higher authorities. Some other viable conditions can be attached, as medical proof of the children, or date sheet for the examinations etc.

Plight of central services
Imagine the anguish of the central services for whom no provision has been made to implement the government decision and no one, including cadre controlling authorities, are even aware of the government decision.

Efforts to help real estate lobby more than suspicious
The government's ongoing efforts to help the real estate lobby are more than suspicious. It is a well known fact that real estate prices in India had risen to unrealistic levels and are still beyond the reach of a person earning through 'honest' means. When these guy's were minting money and prices of the houses kept rising like any thing no body in Government raised any hackles and there was no effort on the part of the government to regulate the real estate market on the argument that let the economic forces regulate the market. Now when the economic forces have started the regulatory act where is the need of the government to intervene by doling out concessions like subsidized interest rates. Not only that the common man's interest is being compromised but even our sound banking sector which has so far come out unscathed from the global storm, is being put at risk. Can the government even today claim that the prices of the houses have come down to realistic levels and hence only a moderate intervention by it shall help revive the sector? Or is it trying to help the speculators to restart their business?

CPWD's high handedness
This is regarding today's write up about CPWD's high handedness in intimating about vacant houses. This is our fate. We Indian do not like a person who works for us and delivers. We want only those politicians who give a kick on our back. At the time of Ram Naik no one facing LPG problem, we defeated party and the Minister. The then Ministers, Particularly Jagmohan streamlined the Urban Development Ministry. He introduced punctuality, streamlined house allotment, waiting list was eliminated more faster than the request for allotments were pouring. But what we did? We sent him fully packed. What we have done recent Delhi Assembly elections is before. If we do not like to persons who work for us then we have to curse ourselves for this fate. There is no use of cursing the JEs/Contractors. They are born to suck bloods of poor and national property. We should mend ourselves than cursing others. Indian always like those persons who deceive and cheat them and give a big kick on their backs. NO use of crying now.

Beating about the "Bush"
Is Bush bashing at a Press conference by an Iraqi journo a security lapse? If so, will the National Security Advisor and the Union Cabinet Secretary devise pre-emptive measures to avoid a repetition of similar "boot hitting" in India! While the Indian Media is mature enough not to indulge in such a senseless tamasha and need not walk into the press conferences barefoot, but the same cannot be said about the mischief-mongers among them with fake IDs.
Similarly, who would take the responsibility of the state legislators who take pride in hitting their opponents with broken mikes, chairs, tables and also, perhaps, boots inside the august State Assemblies.
Let the NSA and the Union Cabinet Secretary (who have both been absolved by the PM despite serious security lapses on their part in Mumbai massacre and that too, without a judicial enquiry)put their heads together and issue some guidelines.

India -- 2020

It is the year 2020 and call centers are opening all over the West, as
the new economic power India outsources work to the countries where
many jobs originated. Millions of Americans, still struggling to adapt
to a global economy, are willing to accept jobs that pay them in a new
currency sweeping much of the world: EuRupees.

Some of them, eager to land one of the customer service jobs from
India, are attending special training sessions in New York City, led
by language specialist Dave Ramsey, who goes by a simpler name for his
Indian clients: Devendra Ramaswaminathan.

On this warm afternoon, the professor is teaching three ambitious
students how to communicate with Indian customers.

Professor:
"Okay, Gary, Randy and Jane, first we need to give you Indian names.
Gary, from now on, you'll be known to your customers as Gaurav. Randy,
you'll be Ranjit. And Jane, you'll be Jagadamba." Now imagine "you
just received a call from Delhi. What do you say?"

Gary:
"Name as tea?"
Professor:
"I think you mean 'namaste.' Very good. But what do you say after that?"
Gary:
"How can I help you?"
Professor:
"You're on the right track. Anyone else?"
Jane:
"How can I be helping you?"
Professor:
"Good try! You're using the correct tense, but it's not quite right.
Anyone else?"
Randy:
"How I can be helping you?"

Professor:
"Wonderful! Word order is very important. Okay, let's try some small
talk. Give me a comment that would help you make a connection with
your Indian customers."
Randy:
"It's really hot, isn't it?"
Professor:
"The heat is always a good topic, but you haven't phrased it
correctly. Try again."
Randy:
"It's deadly hot, isn't it?"
Professor:
"That's better. But your tag question can be greatly improved."
Randy:
"It's deadly hot, no?"
Professor:
"Wonderful! You can put 'no?' at the end of almost any statement. You
are understanding me, no?"
Jane:
"Yes, we are understanding you, no?"

Professor (smiles):
"We may need to review this later. But let's move on to other things.
Have you ever heard Indians use the word 'yaar'?"
Randy:
"Yes, my Indian friends use it all the time. Just last night, one of
them said to me, 'Randy, give me yaar password. I am needing it to fix
yaar computer."
Professor (laughs):
"That's a different 'yaar,' yaar. The 'yaar' that I'm talking about
means friend or buddy. You can use it if you've developed a
camaraderie with a customer.
For example, you can say, 'Come on, yaar. I am offering you the best
deal.' Do you understand, Jagadamba?"
Jane:
"Yaar, I do."

Professor (smiles):
"Okay, let's talk about accents. If your client says 'I yam wery
vorried about vat I bought for my vife,' how would you respond?"
Randy:
"Please don't be vorrying, yaar. She vill be wery happy and vill give
you a vild time tonight."
Professor:
"Vunderful! I mean, wonderful. You have a bright future, Ranjit. And
so do you, Jagadamba. But Gaurav, you haven't said anything in a
while. Do you have any questions about what we've just learned?"

Gary:
"Yes, Professor, I do have one question: Wouldn't it be simpler to
learn to speak Hindi?"
