"Paid Holidays"
Keshavji, what matters more?? is probably what people in rest of the world do. We can import the technology and other necessities, why not administrative skills? We have to learn what others feel about any of our particular domestic rule/policy formulated purely on the basis of domestic needs and come up with an alien idea to set it aside and scrap it,...to keep our image high in the eyes of the akkas and saggas resting in the rest of the world. Everybody, as you have been made to believe, is not competent enough to learn all that alien stuff and need to be kept away to avoid unnecessary mingling of domestic thought in a totally newly found great alien idea. Such short foreign training trips finally take one ahead of all others struggling with domestic dust. Really special, talented and lucky are those who get a chance for a compulsory foreign training trip as against those who don't get even a single chance through out their life even after sending a thousand requests with unwilling recommendations from special people. There is probably no need of sophisticated kind of trainings for everyone because just few thousand specials are enough to take care of each and every need of around 140 crores souls. The art of dazzling dashing, vision blurring,....etc. etc. that shine at alien heights and make invisible the resultant incompetence and misery at all lower levels... to those alien eyes which don't recognise things except in the colour of their own choice.

Training for other services
When such trainings are compulsory for IAS, why the Government softpaddles other services say IRS .

CSS officers are rule followers
If CSS officers are "rule followers" what is the harm in it. They are hardly the decision makers and the decision makers should have the guts to relax the rules where called for and justified. If somebody tells you the rule, he can't be negatively stamped. If rules are not to be followed, where is the need for the rules. It is rather the weakness of the Officers who do not want to take the responsibility for relaxing a rule in taking a particular decision.
Ashwatthamaas of civil service
According to government's perception the members of an elite service (you can guess)retire but never tire. This privileged class is blessed with Amritva. All important positions where age limit is 65 years including sinecures have been reserved for this privileged class because the decision makers belong to the same fraternity. I have highest regards for the members of this service individually but not as a class. The service interests of other services have been ignored altogether. There are bright stars in other services too Talent is not the monopoly of one service only. The more worrisome feature is the immense clout exercised by this elite group through close networking as a class by subverting the claims of other organised services. The facilities and services enjoyed by this service is disproportionately superior to those bestowed on the officers of downtrodden services This kind of artificial hierarchy created in the civil service is the bane of governance in the country Politicians cannot escape their share of blame for building a nexus. In fact this applies to all the services. Hamam me sub ...There is a need for a Revolution in the bureaucracy across the board. The Resolutions passed by the Central Government based on Administrative Reforms commissions reports contain only cliches and high sounding management jargons do not serve any purpose. I have always supported the creation of a single unified Service called the Indian Management Service at the level of Joint Secretary and above drawing talents from all the Services like the IAS, IFS, IPS, IRS, ISS, IES etc and last but not the least the CSS, The steel frame of India bureaucracy. The selection should be on the basis of their appraisal reports and personal talks in order to be fair and just let this job of selection be entrusted to the UPSC which makes recruitment to all these services. I had occasion to informally broach the subject informally with the former chairman of UPSC and he was all for it. I am making this suggestion in all humility and without prejudice to anyone or any service. My idea is only to make the system more rational and transparent so that the non IAS services do not harbour any suspicion or ill will against any privileged class. And finally, the concept of ASHWATTHAAMA should be extended to all the services instead of the existing policy of "pick and choose" confined to only one service!
A K SAXENA
Screening of officers before promotion
This is an excellent idea. Routine screening is being done by IRS in cases of general public who are selected to receive national awards by Government of India. Of late IRS is verifying the declaration made by candidates contesting general elections by way of post affidavit verification. The business people assets/liabilities are verified every year. Therefore why not scrutiny for officers of Central and particularly State Cadres such as IAS/PCS. If not every year at least before promotions such verification at least will bring additional revenues to the Government based on the palatial bungalows/houses constructed by the members of these elitist services. A great idea indeed. Remember US presidential candidates A/L declarations are scrutinized by IRS.

Problems of Non-Gazetted Staff in CSS & CSSS
This is in response to the problems mentioned by one of the members of the CSS/CSSS indicating the period of stagnation period for next promotion from PA/Assistant to PS/SO is 22-24 years. The best way to solve this malady of partial treatment in promotions to non-gazetted members of staff belonging to Stenographers, Assistants, UDCs & LDCs is to merge all these grades and re-designate it as Executive Assistant with at least three-mandatory-time-bound promotions such as Section Officer-Under Secretary-Deputy Secretary. The qualifying service for each grade should be eleven years. Upon completion of 11 years, such promotions should take effect automatically. Also, there is no requirement of Stenographers Grade 'D', UDCs and LDCs. All the current incumbents may be promoted as Assistants once they have completed the qualifying service for further promotion. Such a dispensation would be in overall benefit of everyone including the GoI.

Aaj Ki Aawaz
This is the beginning of the end of Commie Raaj,
It's Nandigram and Singur aaj.
And tomorrow it'll be the rest of the State,
Commies will very soon in West Bengal be shown the gate!!!
And it'll be good riddance to a lot that needs to be rubbished, binned or canned,
In fact it's high time that the philosophy of Communism is banned!!!
UPA's report card is going to be released by BJP is a few days!!!!
I understand 'cannot repeat the class' is what the Report Card says!!!
In this school you pass if you repeat the class and fail if you don't,
And this time it's sure that UPA won't!!!!
And if you fail you are demoted,
Repeating the class is equivalent to being promoted!!!
My guess is that Manmohan and his Cabinet will plug badly!!!!!
Teachers comments…. This is one of the worst classes I've had sadly!!!
Sadly because when the class commenced the class was expected to do not that badly,
But seems things went from bad to worse as the class worked and behaved madly!!
What about Sonia who was very much the monitor of the class but was not in the class???
Had she not been controlling the class maybe class ho sakthi thi pass!!!
What about her sonny boy who despite being in preschool is a Deputy to his Ma,
And the XIIth graders cannot say to his demands of this preschool kid 'na'!!!!
He too stood outside the class,
And took the class ki class!!
In this Report it would be prudent if BJP also said how it will correct the wrong done,
After pointing the faults wouldn't it look funny if remedy column said 'none'!!
Bypolls are being held in Haryana and Punjab ,
Akalis will win Amritsar and in Haryana Congress ki haalath is kharaab!!!!
If by a miracle Congress wins in Amritsar then Bhattal will go somersaulting to Dilli,
And Sonia towards Amrinder will turn even more chilly!!!
Hooda will say that these elections cannot be a referendum on his Sarkaar,
So how will he fib and fob the electoral maar!!!!
He'll fib that certain local Congress Leaders played dirty or gandaa,
And will demand High Command maare in ko dandaa!!!
But wouldn't it be really pathetic if in Haryana bypolls Congress got an andaa,
Haryana Congress will go into mourning and fly at half mast Congress's jhandaa!!
In Karnataka Congress Leaders body language is like they've already lost!!!
And I hear they are already bickering as to what to them the election has cost!!!
But if by a miracle Congress wins,
Then this will wipe out its recent electoral sins!!!
Then Sonia will be perpetually showing her 32 teeth and waving,
And about this win she'll be raving!!!
PC has to think about reducing duties on fuel!!!
Why is he being obstinate like a mule???
Hope he realizes catching the ear directly or around the head the result is same!!!
Catch the ear directly and rocketing prices ko karro tame!!!
Montek should avoid flying by Indian, Kingfisher and Jet,
Because very shoddy service on these Airlines he'll get!!!
Praful is hopping mad at him and this means his pals will ditto his ire,
And on these airlines to inconvenience Montek they'll not tire!!!
What I find surprising is that Praful releases Montek's chitti,
And then he alleges Montek should have spoken to him …. how very witty???
Big B in his blog says he'll pray for the souls of those who question him,
He's so used to flattery that questions he takes as something grim!!!
What about his own soul which carries a huge load???
Like the load of 1984 riot victims because it's alleged that rioters ko kiya tha Big B ne goad!!!
Confucius says… Darpan mein dekh Big B,
Tell me do you like what you see???
Adds....... and please don't lie,
Remember one day to His Court all our souls have to fly!!!
