With our security how can the Sarkaar clown????
Do remember the Political lot are safe and sound!!!!
Insecurity Public ko karti hai aur karre gi hound!!!
A leading weekly magazine has published a high and mighty list!!!!
Well to this list I'm just adding my twist!!!
Though I'm not adding a twist on all!!!!
Selective 'twisting' this you can call!!
Government tried its best to put pressure on Rattan Tata,
But Rattan showed his mettle and to Gujarat for the Nano Plant he did not say ta-ta!!
Mukesh Ambani still believes his farm to fork project will see daylight!!!!
As of now its 'sleeping as it is night'!!!
Anil Ambani can now run further and at a better timing!!!!
Many would agree he needs to work on improving his business timing!!!
Sunil Mittal wants to rule the airwaves!!!!
And by the looks of it the Mobile Sector is in for some close shaves!!
Sharukh Khan likes to get kicked by his kids as they sleep!!!
And as in other areas of his life a record of the kicks he does keep!!!
Amar Singh no longer wears his 10 carat heera!!!!
The heera is so big that it makes the solitaires worn by Maya look like jeera!
Rehman's first stop is a Mosque and then an Electronics shop!!!!
His aim is that International Charts he should top!!!!
Raghav Bahl lost his hair a long time back!!!
Post the hair loss came Channel 18 and Colors successes but his hair ain't coming back!!!
Amir Khan has proved that beauty is skin deep!!
An ordinary looking lass makes his heart beep!!!
Big B will now be giving his EF his donations ka chitta or account!!!
Wish his blessings he would also count!!!
Zee's Chandra went from rice to innovative packing!!!!
But in his recent venture ICL he's been found lacking!!!
Sachin Tendulkar's taken limited edition to a new height!!!!
Personal records are always in his sight!!
Dayanadhi Maran has crawled back into Karuna's good-book!!!
Wonder how he got off the hook???
Mallya the King of good times made Gandhians literally writhe or wriggle!!!!
And we know why all this money he did jiggle!!!
Lalit Modi's aim is to follow Amar Singh's footsteps!!!
And in this pursuit on many toes he steps!!
Pranoy Roy's 'bandwidth' is on the decline!!!
To leave NDTV is Barkha Dutt next in line????
Confucius says…… the India Today list made some deliriously happy,
It also made some very unhappy and some even scrappy!!!
Adds.....Happy Holi to all,
Spiritually and worldly-wise may you have a ball!!!

Rita
Some comments from Raja about judiciary are intemperate.
Judges are protected as any other person under the RTI Act itself which does not permit disclosure of third party information by public authority. And basically, what larger public interest is served by judges or anyone else disclosing their income, except satisfying curiosity?

Live Order and Inactive Order
Live orders are those orders which are for the benefit of officers of US/PPPs and above and they are given out of way entitlement. Inactive orders are those orders like the one recommended by clowns of 6th CPC with regard to implementation of 3 ACP which nullifies the benefit of earlier 2 ACPs and is going to create lot of misunderstanding amongst employees of the same grade, i.e one employees getting Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- after two ACP(24 years) and according to new ACP of 6th CPC; the employee of the same grade will be entitled for Grade Pay of Rs.4600/- only and that too after 30 years. This is clearly evident in steno line and thus killing the poor stenographers. Great intellectual decision and an order fit for National Award.
