FORUM

Let us not fall in the trap of blame game

I totally agree with the comments of Gopi Krishna. All the three organs of the constitution viz executive, judiciary and legislature are easily managing their welfare. Executives(only IAS as they are at the helm of affairs unlike Group A officers) are having nice time by virtue of inheriting the virtues of ICS invented by Britishers. Judiciary is enjoying as they are deemed as demi gods and untouchables. Legislatures are of course the law makers who are not supposed to be erring while choosing benefits for themselves. So the only lot left is Grp A officers who are managing the things at micro level and giving the IAS to eat the fruit. Lets not fall in the trap of blame game and not let the Grp A officer look like a crying child. The market forces and the economics will definitely bring about changes in the existing structure and i dont say that it will dissolve the disparity but it will dissolve the existence of entities and issues. No wonder some day we may witness the civil services shrinking into three categories viz - Indian Management service, Indian Security services and Indian Finance service. The rules and regulations viz RR, promotions, seniority, empanelment, pay, perks will be same for all these three jobs. Let there be division of labour without apartheid, and let our governance become egalitarian.

This is kalyug and if a baby did not cry Mummy would not give baby duddhu(milk)!!
Dasmunshi decrying Advani's letter to PM makes Dashmunshi look like a buddhu????

What Advani has asked for is a National honor for Vajpayee!!!!
Don't know why Dashmunshi is doing a 'hai duhayee'????

Advani wrote to PM so why is Dashmunshi bajaoing his been (flute)!!!
Seems he's mistaken what Information and Broadcasting does mean!!!

Has he broadcasted and informed us his or Congress's stand on Advani's appeal???
This issue with dignity Congress did not deal!!!!

Appealing is no crime …… that's what an Opposition Party can do!!!!!
And if Congress disagreed it could have appealed to BJP too!!!

Congress basically has lost all sense of dignity and prefers to street fight!!!!
But street fighting such an issue is not right!!!!

Seems as the picture of Congress's imminent fall becomes clear!!!!
Congress and Congressmen are going berserk in fear!!!!

Raj Thackrey has shown what he and his Party stand for!!!!
By standing up for the Juhu molesters his true objective has come to the fore!!!!

If you are a Maharashtrian you can do what you want!!!!
And as per Raj when it comes to taking you to task 'the law can't'!!!

Molesters Nirman Sena… this is what Raj's MNS means!!!!
At least this is what from Raj's stand one gleans!!!!

Uncle Balasahib says he's fit as a fiddle!!!!
His fit as a fiddle comment sure does riddle!!!

Or is he trying to say that Pawar calling on him was not because he's unwell!!!
So Pawar was there so that Balasahib ko allying with NCP idea karr sakke sell!!!

The noora kushti between the Badals and Amrinder goes on,
In the red corner is Amrinder and blue corner mein hai Badal father and son!!!!

Amrinder mock vows ' Aroosa ki kasam I make Sukhbir pay if I go to jail'!!!!
And Sukhbir mock threatens ' This is the last time Amrinder is going to get bail'!!!!

And rumours abound about 'the great Sukhbir takeaway'!!!!
He'll become CM and Papa will be shown the way!!!

The Punjab 2008 calendar indicates that takeover is on the anvil!!!!
With Sukhbir's photos PR Department ne kiya hai calendar fill!!!

Alwa says that Hooda is a model CM and Hooda does Alwa ka bhajan!!!
Alwa is pushing for action against Bhajan!!!

To say thankyou to Alwa!!!!
Hooda may get a sweet dish on the Haryana Tourism's Menu named Alawa halwa!!!!

Hooda may have got the Mohali Airport renamed but location is still the same!!!!!
For wasting Haryana's 200 crores Haryanvis karr rahe hai Hooda ko blame!!!

Begaani Airport Project mein Hooda diwaana is what comes to mind!!!
Badal should send Hooda a thankyou note for being do generous and kind!!!

The Punjab Guv is the Chandigarh Administrator ....what has Hooda to say?????
Maybe he'll demand Haryana Guv be given this post and all bills Haryana will pay!!

By the way Roddy the Chandigarh Administrator spent a fortune on buntings for X'mas!!
These were put on light poles all over the City and were stolen en-masse!!!!

Wasted money just get the Yuletide feeling!!!!
In fact if you ask me encouraged steeling!!!

Tata's Nano is like the Ford's T car!!!!
Aur Maruti 800 ko padhe gi maar!!!!

And Tata's have beaten the Chinese $ 3600 car!!!!!
Tata's send Nano India ke bahar (exports)!!!

This should be an example to Indian manufacturers to take on 'Made in China ' label!!!
And ' Made in India ' ko karre relabel!!!!

Confucius says…. Nano is an attractive basic car at an unbelievable price tag!!!!
In both basic car features and cost Nano does not lag!!!!
