OBC Candidates and UPSC Examination
In centre's appeal against Madras High Court judgment directing the UPSC to redraw the merit list of the 2005 Civil Services examination, ignoring Rule 16 (2) of the Central Civil Services examination it said: "If the benefit of reservation is denied to an SC/ST/OBC candidate who qualifies on merit, then there can be a situation where a lower ranked OBC candidate gets allocated to a better service than a higher ranked OBC candidate only because the higher ranked candidate performed well enough to qualify in the general/unreserved category. It further said While making service allocation, candidates belonging to SC/ST or OBCs recommended against unreserved candidates may be adjusted against reserved vacancies by the government if by this process they get a service of higher choice in the order of their preference. Only to give higher choice in the preference including cadre in case of AIS the reserved candidate selected as meritorious against the unreserved seats should be treated as reserved category candidate. If not those candidates should be treated as unreserved general candidates and the benefit of reservation may go to low ranked reserved category candidates. Then only the objectives of providing reservation will be achieved

Directorate of Estates and vacancy record
Recently from the vacancy register displayed in the website of Dte. of Estates; many quarters and that too from Lodhi Colony was there. But till yesterday only a few had been allotted and others are not there in the allotment list displayed in the website. These quarters now also are not in the vacant register. Will the other quarters shown in the vacancy register and not allotted be allotted? We only wish that nobody simply meddles with it as we believe the information given in the website and hopefully wait that these also will be allotted and quickly all the quarters allotted will be displayed in the allotment list and the numbers in the waiting list will also reduce proportionately without any influential person jumping in between. We believe our brothers of the Dte. of Estates concerned with this allotment work. This list is about the change who have applied after giving technical acceptance.

LTC issue
Regarding the issue of LTC, a peculiar problem demands an honest administrative solution. An officer at senior level hardly ever gets 2-3 weeks E.L. till (s)he nears superannuation. His first anxiety is to set matters right for post retirement settlement on retirement. He utilises his hometown LTC for the purpose. In the last month he tries to go on LTC anywhere in India. He is not allowed because both Home Town & Anywhere in India LTCs can not be availed in the same year. This is illogical. This LTC should be allowed to be availed not only in the same year, but within six months of retirement on the same lines as T.A. is allowed to the retiring employees. It is absolutely justified taking into consideration the rules allowing two T.A.s on transfer to elite services-one for coming to join duty and another for bringing personal effects. Some "superior" officers have even been allowed a third T.A. by the M/O Finance!

M L Gupta
I endorse the idea propounded by AK Saxena and would like to extend a wee bit to include the able people from private sector also on case to Case basis; certain parameters can be worked out for such inclusion. However, the appraisal may not be the best tool to assess the quality of people required. UPSC can come out with a fresh exam for such eligible candidates ,and that test can also be phased into written and interview. If I am correct, such an idea of mid-term test for all civil services had been mooted by some committee as well.

Aaj Ki Aawaz
Four years of misrule so what was there to celebrate!!!!
And then Public ne kiya hai UPA ko poorly rate!!!!

Celebration was due if the Public had celebrated completion of UPA's 4 saal!!!!
But how can Public do so jabh ki boora hai Public ka haal!!!

In fact has BJP should have called for celebration 'just one more year left'!!!!
And then India and Indians will be rid of UPA and the Left!!!!

For the UPA PM was given the job of applying butter,
PM meaning Pocha- paachi Manmohan ne kiya from table to table flutter!!!

Sonia did not acknowledge Amar's presence and so PM did the needful,
PM acknowledged Amar's presence and asked him 'aap ki plate kyon nahi hai full'!!!!

Sonia and Amar sat at neighboring tables and Sonia gave him the royal ignore,
I think when it comes to Sonia Amar knew what is in store!!!!

They say don't be that mean to someone that when you meet him or her your head goes down!
And we know berating Sonia how Amar went to town!!!

PM called Amar an esteemed colleague and said his presence was nothing nayaa!!!!
Was he trying to be pally of was he showing Amar pity or dayaa????

Because the last time Amar attended a UPA bash,
Kiya tha Amar ne gatecrash!!!

In the end Amar was left high and dry,
But this time Amar is not going to cry!!!!

All that he said was that SP and Congress are not friends or foes!!!
Meaning that neither are they shaking hands or coming to blows!!!

See the irony as Aam Aadmi scrapes the cooking pot for food,
UPA gorged on food in a celebratory mood!!!

There was a humongous tragedy just a few days back,
Seems it's forgotten and to it UPA has turned its back!!!

This should show you UPA true face,
No wonders so much resentment UPA karr rahi hai face!!!!

Andher nagri chaupat Raja,
Public khaye rotten wheat aur Raja khaye khaaja (cashews)!!!

Sonia says PM's work speaks for him,
What she liked was the work he did was as per her whim!!!!

But the Public has ducked this PM saying in his case PM means Puppet Minister,
PMO ko takk nahi karr sakaa yeh administer!!!

Rs.. 300 crores for Gujarat riot victims and increase in waivers in farm loans!!!!
A drop in the ocean to reduce the ear shattering moans!!!

All these measures will come to naught,
And people will teach them a lesson that they cannot be bought!!!

Duties and Taxes on Petro products need to be slashed,
Deora is bawling that Refineries are getting bashed!!!

He's demanded a Rs. 5 Diesel hike and Rs. 10 Petrol hike,
And hopefully he'll be told to take a hike!!!

Indians pay a phenomenal amount by way of duties and taxes on petro products,
Hope a comparison with other Countries on this PC conducts!!!

But knowing PC he'll compare prices with Singapore ,
Taxes and fines into the Exchequer Singaporees literally pour!!!

When it comes to taxes he always look at the 'worst case',
And then on this case karta hai apni arguments base!!!!

Thankfully next year from FM's Office he'll be out,
And maybe from Lok Sabha too after facing in the elections a rout!!!

Sharukh has said he'll not attend IPL matches after from the dug out he was dug out!!!
And Sharukh is right in his stand without a doubt!!!

And have you noticed the stands getting emptier and emptier with every passing match,
Some new mode to attract crowds they'll have to hatch!!!!

Confucius says.... Is interest in IPA waining and Public returning to being 'soaped'???
Maybe next time into IPL Indian Soaps will also be roped!!!

Adds..... IPL players will appear in Soaps too and IPL players will be auctioned for Soaps,
Imagine to play lead roles in Saas Bahu Dhoni and Tendulkar Ektha Kapoor ropes!!!!
