FORUM

Retirement age should be raised

You see, nowadays, no civil servant retires at 60 just to go home and sit out rest of the life. With the improvement of longevity and health parameters, it is too early to hang the shoes. Barring aside one's physical and family conditions, most of the people retiring at 60 go invariably to crowd the market and also get absorbed immediately as they are the most sought out stuff with intense experience, ardent loyalty, rapt attention and most assiduously cultivated discipline of high order. Also, they are the people who put the least demands on the private sector as they are mostly well settled and free of most of the social and family liabilities and thus they are quite well satisfied with whatever little they get after retirement. Since they are also decently safeguarded socially, financially, medically, and also well equipped with adequate flow of funds for their day to day needs; private sector finds them as the most suitable recruits in their establishments for the next five to six years at any level. In this way, not only the government is loosing the goldmine of expertise, the private sector is also getting it dirt cheap. Ultimately, the younger generation has to suffer as they are left with the situations to fight hard and the receding job opportunities in the private sector become even more scarcer. Consequently, it seems to be much more appropriate that the government should raise the retirement age not only to 62 but rather upto 65 as in the case of judges, teachers, doctors and engineers, etc, so that the private sector job market is left entirely to the younger generation. After 65, most of the retiring government staff would like to call it a day without putting any resultant pressure on the private job opportunities and this would also be bound to earn a calculated welfare measure to the credit of the government for making available sufficient employment opportunities for the entire workforce. This way, not only the whole of our economy would benefit in terms of improvement in GDP, but from the welfare angle also the national image would rise to a very high order. Therefore, I strongly feel that the government should raise the retirement age immediately to at least 62 and later on to 65 sometime during the country's next Five Year Plan or whenever the government deems it to be fit keeping in view the macro economic considerations and welfare needs of the society as a whole.

There should be no increase in retirement age

Will there be any end if the government goes on increasing the retirement age to save money. If the retirement age is increased to 62, it will benefit only the top level, who have made the hierarchical setup abominably heavy at the top. This will encourage the youngsters to quit, as eventually it will lead to delay in their promotions.

TAIL-PIECE

Finally Carla Bruni decided not to visit New Delhi. Would an Indian "PREMIKA" in similar circumstances acted in similar gallantry way or would have threatened to spill the beans and gone on channel hunt's Breaking News ?

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Rajnath and Advani advised BJP CMs to follow the Modi model!!!!
And Congress is preparing to commence its anti Modi yoddle!!!

And there's more to the Modi model than just electioneering!!!
Because it's not for his electioneering that Gujarat was cheering!!!

Modi's honesty, vision and implementation prowess made Gujarat sit up and take note!!!
And it's for these qualities that for Modi Gujarathis did vote!!!

Though time is running short still BJP CMs can redeem themselves!!!!
Kick start by improving selves!!!!!!

To blow away Maya's popularity one little piggy karr raha hai huff and puff!!
Hope Rahul does not think that one night in a Dalit house 'puffing' is enough???

The house was carefully chosen…. he did not walk into any Dalit house!!!!
A Fire Engine was nearby so in event of a fire the fire it could douse!!!

All precautions must have been taken to ensure scion of Gandhi family was protected!!
At hand must have been an Ambulance to take care if any health problem was detected!

Seems he thinks Dalits will fall for his bait!!!!
Whereas Dalits karr rahe hai wait!!!

There's talk of a Dalit Package and for this Dalits karr rahe hai wait!!!!
But then by now they should know such package's fate!!!

His detractors say Rahul's image is at a low!!!!
And he'll do anything to get his image to glow!!!

Rahul Baba public is very smart and recognizes dramabaazi!!!
Rather that this try to find out publics razaa and naraazi!!!

Stop your Page 3 thinking…. only the Page 3 lot would feel you've done a feat!!!
'You know he stayed in a Dalit home overnight' drum they'll beat!!!

Big B is indulging is surrogate politicking!!!!
And seems he's forgotten in his previous political foray public's kicking!!!

See the dramambaazi…..he announces an Ash College on his land!!!!
And then Amar ko karr detha hai 'College in the air' hand!!!

And then Amar names his new bunglow in Lucknow after Ash!!
UNPA Leaders join in for the college naatak and Amar's birthday bash!!!

If he's so interested in politics why doesn't he politick khullam khulla!!!
Why is he pakoing his political rotis on Amar's choola???

All road lead to TN…..courtesy Baalu!!!
Baalu indeed has turned out to be very chaloo!!!

Baalu's ensured that TN roads are four laned!!!
And road projects on TN Baalu has rained!!!

Baalu is also hell bent on making TN roads like Hema's cheeks!!!!
On road repairs TN's allocation peaks!!!

Why don't other States protest Baalu's chalooness????
And for road projects and road repairs karre press!!!!

Modi and Nitish need to protest sabh se jyaada!!!
Because they should know Balu's true iraada!!!

Modi is both Congress and DMK's enemy so Baalu's is going slow on Gujarat !!!
And behind Balu going slow on Bihar is Laloo's haath!!!

Seems success has gone to Sharukh's head!!!
See to Ramdoss's request that he not smoke on screen what Sharukh said???

How does he classify his smoking as creative liberty???
Seeing Sharukh's behaviour seems he's still in his puberty????

Grow up and start behaving responsibly Sharukh Khan!!!!
Aur Ramdoss ki baath jao maan!!!

When heads get bloated all of a sudden there's a puncture and hawaa hothi hai deflate!!!
And the good work or the deflating of hawaa is done by good ole fate!!!

Mulayam has been making use of his 'out of sight' time…was taking tuitions in angrezi!!
And please this does not mean he's been practicing to drink 'angrezi'!!!!

At Big B's 'Ash College in the air' function Mulayam spoke in angrezi!!!
Some thought Mulayam had gone crazy!!!

As it is his Hindi is difficult to understand.... his English is atrocious!!
If you ask me it's torturous!!

The angrezi tuitions are because he feels soon he could be India 's Prime Minister!!!!
Hope now with his knowledge of English he will know the meaning of sinister!!!

If he becomes PM imagine Amar would be running the show!!!
Will be looked on as horrendously bad by those are in the know!!!

Confucius says…Mulayam becoming India 's PM should be every Indians nightmare!!!
For every Desh Bhagat even the thought should be impossible to bear!!!
