'Don't use the recession word' PC says!!!!
Recession hitting India he 'nays'!!!
Next four quarters are going to be bad for the World Economy!!!
Things will get stormy!!!
Montek has said that growth is going to fall to 7%!!!!!
And my feeling is growth will fall more cent per cent (abs sure)!!!
PC we know the definition of recession!!!
And by the time it hits India you'll be out of Office…for India a God send concession!!!
Sonia would by then be spending more time at home!!
And Mohna on a lecture tour overseas karr raha hogaa roam!!!!
Rahul will be introspecting Congress's loss!!!!
And would be moving into becoming Congress's High Command or Boss!!!
If Congress thinks the Nuclear Deal will get it back the gaddi in Dilli!!!!
Then it's being absolutely silly!!!!!
But then if you look closely there is nothing more that Congress can say!!!!
For its three year fixation with the Deal Congress is going to pay!!!!
PM wants to do a Bush and announce a stimulus plan!!!!
Whereas FM wants that on the usage of word 'recession' a ban!!!
PM wants to energize the PSU's but Ministers seem pre-occupied!!!
With State elections they are occupied!!!
To stimulate the Private Sector monetary measures will be used!!!!
Of not doing enough to stimulate the Private Sector Sarkaar has been accused!!!!!
How about aping China and investing heavily in infrastructure????
A plan to invest heavily in infrastructure karro structure!!!
And try to bring the level of corruption down ...for starters Party Fund!!!!
Too often by allegations of corruption in Politics Nation has been stunned!!!
Remember Laloo started life as a gwaala,
And today as per allegations he's a bahut paise waala!!!
State elections…… I feel BJP will do better than expected!!!!!
Despite anti incumbency Congress will not make gains as Public is dejected!!!
Dejected with Congress's rule in Dilli,
They say ' we suffered prices and terror aur Dilli Sarkaar nahi hilli (did not act and unmoved)'!!!
Maya factor will eat into Congress votes in MP and Dilli!!!!
Though at the end of the day BSP will end up willy-nilly!!!
As the semi finals get over finals will be corner ke around!!!!
And General Election bugle Parties will sound!!!
Sarkaar wants to be Santa Claus and will do this by gifting a fuel price cut!!!!
Public however want Sarkaar to do this futta - futt!!!!
The Sarkaar wants to time the fuel price cut just right to take electoral benefit!!!
In the meantime Sarkaar will fib and fob that Refiners have taken a big hit.
Confucius says… this Sarkaar has politicized every decision it's taken or dithered from taking!!!!!
Totally stuck in politics decisions its been making!!!

IRS Transfers
In view of the heat and dust over transfers in IRS last year, the transfer policy should be scrapped and all officers given an equitable chance to be in places of their choice without hair splitting about history of postings, retrospective classifications, north zone/area, husband's cadre, etc

Merger of CSSS with CSS
I would like to mention that the merger of Central Secretariat Stenographer Service with Central Secretariat Service comprising of LDCs/UDCs/Assistants/ Section Officers/Under Secretaries and so on has been recommended by the 6th Pay Commission and not PAs and PS with Assistants and Section Officers. Leaving Stenographers Grade 'D' in the lurch would be a killing act and would be more disastrous step towards almost stagnated cadre. As the officers appointed as Stenographers Grade 'D' in 1982 have been kept waiting for their regular promotions and till date no respite is seen whereas UDCs placed at par with Stenographer Grade 'D' have been queuing up for their promotion as Section Officers. In other words, UDCs have been promoted as Assistants on regular basis long back and they are being made Section Officers. It is well with the approval of Department of Personnel and Training. I don't know why such type of step motherly treatment are being given to Stenographer Grade 'D. It would be appreciated if ad-hoc appointments made for more than six months are regularised from the date they are appointed on ad-hoc basis as a one time measure to the aggrieved officials and, thereafter, the ad-hoc appointments should be replaced with regular appointments with a definite time bound schedule. This needs to be done expeditiously. In this connection, Secretary (Personnel)is informally understood to have taken a view to stop ad-hoc promotions. It is a welcome step in the right direction. But it should equally be applicable to all posts of Central Secretariate Service without having regard to post, cadre and class.

Earned leave for child care !
I am not too sure the last sentence of that instruction is legal since the original rule said that this was in addition to and separate from all other forms of leave and not to be debited from earned leave.. if an officer is forced to take earned leave for child care purposes, it would run contrary to the declared intention of the rule, which is not permissible. In any case the earlier rules permitted EL under special circumstances, which is effectively what this instruction is trying to reduce childcare leave into. Furthermore, would this interpretation permit conversion of earned leave into child care leave.. or compensate in any other way in case an officer needs additional leave on expiry of the earned leave, but not for child care purposes?
