Aaj Ki Aawaz
'King of good times' .....like his pal Mallya Praful Patel is one too!!!
And when people suffer what should a King do????
As sacked Jet employees cried that they had become barbaad!!!
Praful Patel was seen on TV partying in Hyderabad !!
Should a Minister's life be affected just because a few thousand lives have gone bust?
Shivraj showed that Minister's giving up on their likes in face of tragedy is not a must!!!
If Praful could he'd make the non flying population of India pay to subsidize Airlines!!!
He'll argue that for not traveling by air they should pay fines!!!!
So if they sold their belongings and traveled by air Airlines would be in the green!!!
And so non flying India should pay for being so mean ( for not flying)!!!!
And Patel has an aversion to people who cannot afford to fly!!!
He just cannot understand by surface transport how do these people ply!!!!
Air India and Indian Airlines are paying for the wrong policies of Praful!!!!
For five years kiya hai iss ne dono Airlines ke saath fool!!!
What needs to be stopped in Air Indian and Indian Airline is the free loading!
On Patel's demand cut in ATF prices to cut losses this is what Deora too is goading!!!
And though Sonia and Mohna do not have the authority to tick him off!!!!
At least publicly at Praful's mishandling of his Ministry they should scoff!!!
Sonia is now totally engrossed with upcoming State elections!!
For starters she has to make the candidates ki final selections!!!
Of course her son Rahul will give his inputs as he's been doing his research!!!!
But many say 'he does not have his ear to the ground because of his perch'!!!!!
In 10 Janpath now there are hourly meetings of Sonia's kitchen Cabinet!!!
Who can also be called spoons like the ones in her cutlery cabinet!!!
And my guess is they will mislead her again... consistent at this!!!
An opportunity to please her even if it involves misleading her they do not miss!!
Don't know how they calculate inflation!!!
But by the looks of it inflation figures do not reflect what is going on in the Nation!!!
Food prices have shot up……. so how have they calculated the 11 tick inflation fall!!!
Fact is middlemen are still having a ball!!!!
And food inflation is not going to ease so inflation will continue to hit the common man!!
PC may demand that on food inflation figures being made public there should be a ban!!
Indian Oil basket is down….. below 68,
For fuel prices to be cut how long will we have to wait???
Deora Ji why don't you apply to Mukesh Ambani and request him to agree to a fuel cut!!!
Deora is known to follow Mukesh's orders without an if or but!!!!
All this liquidity will make inflation rise!!!!
And then for guessing what they'll do there is no prize!!
Fact is this FM is still fixed on stocks and growth!!!
And this is the time he should forget both!!!
Mohna should give PC some advice and drill some sense into him!!!!
PC's hindsight and foresight dono ho gayi hai dim!!!
On both micro and macro fronts PC's mucked up big time!!!!
Made India 's economy go sick …. he inherited an economy that was in its prime!!!
The haughty ' I know all and who are you' look has been wiped of PC's face!!!
The look now on his face is like someone who has been tripped by his own shoelace!!!
Confucius says…… PC's epitaph as FM will say… he came , he tinkered and waylaid!!
And for his tinkering with India's economy India and Indians dearly paid!!!
Adds .... Epitome of insensitivty...... UPA,
Examples.... Shivraj, PC and Praful and for this UPA in the next polls will dearly pay!!!

Avoid touching the Armed Forces
How cheap of anyone to start writing about senior officers of the Armed forces. Please be warned; the day Armed Forces become political the country will have a tough time. Feel good that they are really dumb when it comes to manipulating the corridors of power. Fear the day they learn to do it. It wouldn't take long for them to get nice glossy on most of the bureaucrats and use it for their gains. I would suggest however corrupt or anti-national you may be, please avoid touching the Armed Forces and light a few agarbattis everyday praying they remain as they are.
Defense Officers going into politics after retirement is a very positive step. It would be a welcome change from people like Kanshiram who created a divide in the country on lines of caste and others who have done it on lines of religion. An Army officer is very neutral when it comes to caste or religion so he would be a good choice to rid the Indian politics of this scourge.
The politicians and bureaucrats have made the country a beggar. Every one is expecting alms in the form of grants, aid, compensation and many other forms. There is no self pride left in the common man. In the Armed Forces, I have seen of instances of when the general has been checked at the gate and he has appreciated the guard and rewarded him for not getting overwhelmed by the flashing lights and stars.
I would suggest : please grow up so that this country also grows. Get over the personal agenda.

God save our democracy
It is the political decadence caused by Darbargiri in Delhi under the tutelage of Sonia that brought a man like Antony as our Defence Minister. His lack lustre regime in Kerala resulted in Congress losing all Parliament seats for the first time in Kerala in the last election. The only thing he is bothered is his perceived image and not national security. Navy Chief would not have dared to take such a open stand against Government policy if any other Defence Minister was there. God save our democracy.

Their demand is reasonable
I am following the debate on this forum on armed forces vs civil servants (some of our esteemed writer has changed it to IAS vs armed force, may be, due to his /her own interest. The way many of the writers were critical --it was surprising .
In my view their demand is reasonable. The only mistake the chiefs had done that they aired their pain on air. It was not required .
I am of the view that civil servants should confine in their areas of work. There is no point in looking into others'.
Some may say put IAS at the top of the armed forces (like putting them on brig and above level ,Defence Secretary should be the reporting officer (RO) for service chiefs etc but this is not going to solve the present issue.
Please don't be negative. Normally the problem with the government servants ,and IAS in particular, is that over the periods they become arrogant. Normally they don't like no to their order. Time has changed.
I feel Committee for this ,which has been formed by PM ,will address the pains positively.
We should feel proud that we are having steel frame (civil servants) and steel armed forces.

Para mad Military
How ridiculous but many people here dream for Para to be Military and Miltary to be Para.
Para Militry is to Military what Para Medic is the Medic.
Can Para Medic take over the Medic?? Skill..mt freinds... skills..
Can Para Miltary replace Miltary..??? Skills sir..skills
Poor educational intakes and so called social justice is taking toll on standards of the so called and perceived highest....
Hello UPSC...listening...???

Appointments bungling in GoI
The process of appointment to posts in GoI in higher echelons is a mystery wrapped in enigma inside a riddle! The official bodies like the Civil Services Board (CSB) headed by the Cabinet Secretary, is a complete farce. I had some occasions to attend a few meetings of the CSB in the absence of my Secretary. I was totally disillusioned. The data bank maintained by the DOP&T containing details of experiences of officers of organised services, is hardly ever tapped. There is no transparency. Since decisions are taken in some important cases, well before the meetings of CSB and on the directions of some invisible, superpower , every thing is shrouded in secrecy. Approval of CSB is merely a procedural formality .The Cabinet Secretary who is the top most civil servant is supposed to be neutral-which, unfortunately, he is not !The pro- IAS inclinations of ministerial Secretaries, more often than not, results in returning the panels with the request to DOP&T to send fresh panel of IAS officers only. Factors like cadre affinity, proximity to ministers-in-charge or Cabinet Secy. orders from some invisible superpower(It is anybody's guess) become prime considerations. This is how the strength of officers belonging to non IAS services has been gradually eroded at the Centre. While the promotion panels of IAS officers at SAG level upwards are being processed with religiouregularity other services are being ignored.

Sixth Pay Commission - Enough is enough
As we seem to be completely occupied with Sixth Pay Commission in this forum, why not take up a new event which is also topical :
'The Chandrayaan - India's first mission to moon'
Assuming sufficient interest will arise for this topic, let us begin this discussion with some start comments :
1. The First Mission to Moon was made in July 21, 1969 almost 40 years ago, with the famous words of Neil Armstrong "That is one small step for (a) man but giant leap for man kind". However, we are yet to see any great leap for mankind just with this mission. All great communication inventions and improvements in space technology have to do with scientific studies and technology on the earth rather than the soil of the moon.
2. It is not known how many missions to moon have been made subsequent to this till date and what have been the definite benefits by way of new technology or new discoveries.
3. However, there does not seem to be any amount of interest in the world space community now to explore moon, any further, apart from academic interest. If such is the case, what is the need for the mission, apart from satisfying the Indian Psyche ?
4. One foreigner (Australian) recently told me that the west sees this mission more as a symbol of someone's (read "politician")slogan or dream of "Reaching for the moon or stars" than for anything practically useful or scientific.
5. One reason also cited for the mission is that "India is becoming Global power and this will promote this image". Do we need to spend such a huge amount of money for this mission, when the majority of the country is still in poverty and nowhere compared to developed countries even for basic human needs ?
Happy to find any takers for this discussion.

Good one.............
If you have difficulty understanding the current world financial
situation, the following should help...
Once upon a time in a village in India, a man announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10.
The villagers seeing there were not many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to
diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. The man further
announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of
the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of
monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey,
let alone catch it !
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since
he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now act as buyer, on his behalf.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: 'Look at
all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will
sell them to you at $35 and when he returns from the city, you can
sell them back to him for $50.'
The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man or his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere!
