Good days for Aries men
Good news for those who have Aries as their ascendant . Past few weeks for them must have been very trying. Mars is the planet in prominence for all those who are up the ladder in administration, police and army. Mars in Cancer and a retrograde Saturn in Leo had joined hands to make the Aries men experience all kinds of problems bringing down their public ratings and also several other unexpected problems. All this has changed dramatically. Ketu and Rahu have changed places entering Cancer and Caprocorn respectively. Saturn has come on course and Jupiter in their ninth house going retrograde soon will steady the boat. Look ahead for some good times. Take care of your better-half and Venus in Aries will also make the difference.

Do not write biased views
Dear Shashank,
You are spreading wrong information, biased views, baseless prepositions, pointless arguments and irrelevant issues. Don't you know who has been formulating rules and other service conditions for all the services till date or you mean to say that you are ignorant about the misdeeds of IAS and the mess created by them. Anyway a sane advice :- please stop writing for the sake of maintaining the credibility of this site and your good health.
IAS officer.
It is amusing to read sermons
It is amusing to go through views of IPS officers' everyday on this site giving sermons of unity to the CPMFs in their spat against IAS. Have they found any buyer and anyone standing behind them barring those scratching their backs to retain award of favourite posting which they use expertly as carrot?
Has any IPS officer spoken a word since release of CPC report to project outstanding demands of the CPMFs fighting dreaded war against extremists as well as border guarding in trauma conditions? The poor lot remains deeply infested with inferiority complex being given a second grade treatment in their own domain by those who may be best brains but prefer to act as aliens. A cursory analysis would present vexing manner these grand forces are being ruled, whereas, the key word is 'command'. The concept of leadership seems shamelessly forgotten in favour of colonial rule. The dark shadow of foreboding is visible in CPMFs that IPS cadre is preying on the awards recommended by CPC for them in the form of up gradation of ADIGs to DIGs and reserving all post of DIG and 50% posts of IG and above for the CPMF cadres. The CPMFs have no Godfather, nor any open forum to vent out their grievances. Ironically, the chiefs of these forces may be sympathetic but find themselves tied in the shackles of their Cadre Association governed by young Turks. There seems little emotional integration between the leadership and down below, essential for forces.
It is high time that those who understand psyche of Armed Forces make genuine appreciation of the silent conflict brewing in the back drop of the CPC report. And, will the Parliamentary Committee of Home Affairs and NSA take notice of the situation in the national interest?

Aaj Ki Aawaz
Isn't it said that people who live in glasshouse should not throw stones????
In the past Somnath Da as an MP did what today as Speaker he moans!!!
Somnath Da was one of the most vociferous MP's and he acted in the same way,
The same way for which he wanted erring MPs now to pay!!
MPs got their way and Notice Somnath ne kiya retract!!!!
Now magnanimous karr raha hai Somnath Da act!!!
Seems Somnath Da could not bear the silence in the House,
Opposition MPs sat in the House with their fingers on their lips to express their grouse!!!
Seems in the end Somnath Da had to eat his words and beat a retreat!!!!
Now MPs should get together aur to a sumptuous dinner karre Somnath Da ko treat!!!
FM needs to let us in on what has been done with the fuel cess?????
It's rumoured that the Central Road Fund is in a mess!!!!
But PC has been deflecting questions and when he answers he gives haughtily a lame excuse,
Haughtily says that Ministries ne nahi kiya allocated amounts use!!!
And remember when PC responds haughtily,
Rest assured he has something to hide because he's acted naughtily!!
Without a doubt Manmohan Singh should respond to Bush's allegation,
That World Food crisis is Indian Middle Class's creation!!
If you ask me Food crisis is USA's creation because Americans 'hog and waste',
Manmohan Ji give Bush ussi ki hi medicine ka taste!!!!
In Karnataka Congress is pulling out all plugs and announcing sops!!!
Despite the sops BJP is going to come out tops!!!
And so you can see Congress's game!!!!
Congress knows its not coming to power and so it's playing a game!!
When BJP forms Sarkaar in Karnataka Congress will start talking of the sops it promised!
And say by not voting for Congress getting these sops Kannadigas missed!!
Hoping to sow seeds of discontent against the BJP Sarkaar from the start!!!
And in fomenting discontent Congress has the art!!!
Bottom line is that sops being promised by Congress will bleed any Government dry,
Any Sarkaar will be bled dry even if to fulfill 50% of the Congress sops Sarkar karre try!!
And Gowda is slowly starting to talk the language of Balasahib and Raaj,
To instigate regional tensions nahi aathi inn sabh ko laaj!!!!
They say KPS Gill is getting ready to fight back!!!
What's the use he's already got the sack!!!
He's still smarting from the IOA boot in his hind!!!
For his reputation he'll indulge in fighting with IOA… Noora Kushti kind!!
'My detractors are intoxicated by the exuberance of their own verbosity' Big B says,
' They are unsophisticated' Big B brays!!!
Mr. Big B ghost written blogs don't mean that you've got brains,
You think we cannot read through the 'back ground strains'!!!
In movies Big B sings but are the lyrics and music and in most cases the voice his????
Similarly the Big B Blog is written by a Team so that at his detractors he can hiss!!
As of now IPL's a success so I humbly eat crow,
With everyday the following seems to grow!!!
I still cannot fathom that how has 'cricket' that sans Desh Bhakti become such a hit????
So while I pen this column crow I'm swallowing bit by bit!!!
Confucius says…… This is fate and when fate gives a thumbs up you succeed!!!
But for Fate to work one has to plant and water the seed!!!
