Rationale behind DPE insensitivity
It is not difficult to understand why DPE is against those recommendations of Justice Rao Committee which are for A+ category of PSEs.
It is because none of the PSEs in A+ category e..g. NTPC, BHEL, SAIL, BSNL, ONGC, IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, fall under ministry of heavy industries, the parent ministry of DPE.

If brilliant officers and good human beings (which is a major attribute of senior officers) are overlooked, it shows the abject poverty of thought of the system that empanels for the post of member CBDT. God bless us all.

good one, must read.
CONFUSED - U.S. CITIZEN !!
John Doe started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m.
While his coffeepot (Made In China) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (Made In Hong Kong).
He put on a dress shirt (Made In Sri Lanka), designer jeans (Made In Singapore) and tennis shoes (Made In Korea).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (Made In India), he sat down with his calculator (Made In Mexico) to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his watch (Made In Taiwan), to the radio (Made In India), he got in his car (Made In Germany) filled it with GAS (from Saudi Arabia) and continued his search for a good paying American Job.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his computer (Made in Malaysia), John decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals (Made In Brazil) poured himself a glass of wine (Made In France) and turned on his TV (Made In Indonesia),
and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in America.
and now he's hoping he can get help from a President Made In Kenya
English Language
Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?
Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall?
Why is it that when we transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when we transport something by ship, it's called cargo?
Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists?
In what other language do thay call the third hand on the clock the second hand?
Why is it called a TV set when you get only one?
Why - in our crazy language - can your nose run and your feet smell?
Sometimes you have to believe that all English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane:
If olive oil is made of olives, what do they make baby oil from?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian consume?
A writer is someone who writes, and a stinger is something that stings.
But fingers don't fing and grocers don't groce.
If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth?
If the teacher taught, why isn't it also true that the preacher praught?
If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behavior the same?
English is a language in which you can turn a light on and you can turn a light off and you can turn a light out, but you can't turn a light in;
In which the sun comes up and goes down, but prices go up and come down.
In which your nose can simultaneously burn up and burn down and your car can slow up and slow down, in which you can fill in a form by filling out a form and in which your alarm clock goes off by going on. English is a crazy language. What is it that when the sun or the moon or the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible?; and why when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I shallend it?.
