How to survive?
Judging by the pace the things have progressed, we feel confident that we will get the revised salary (Jan 2007 onwards) by 2017. But how to survive till then, is our own problem.
From a frustrated PSU Officer
PSE managements may celebrate;
1. No pension for their retired employees.
2. No medical facility for their retired employees, at par with serving employees.
3. No panel to look after pension etc for their retired employees. In govt. pay panel revises pensions every time
4. PSU employees are the only ones not given the pay revision.
Oppressive PSE managements may celebrate and show these achievements to their ministry secretaries to get appreciation.

Makhen has lost the election from day 1
Ajay Makhen will be contesting from New Delhi. This is a constituency largely dominated by Government servants. No Government employee, upto PB-3 as per VIth Pay Commission, will vote for him for the criminal injustice done to them in the name VI*th Pay Commission. Also, Makhen did nothing to solve the housing problem faced by Govt servants. The waiting time for Government quarters is 25-30 Years. Makhen has lost the election from day 1.

This is in relation to comments of IFSA Maharastra.

He was the best officer
I had the privelege of working under Sudhir Nath Saheb when he was Financial Adviser HRD. In my service of nearly four decades in GOI, he was the best officer, best person I have known. I have no words to express his greatness and qualities. Many words said to me I will not forget till my end. He was more a friend than a Boss. Even after my retirement, whenever he met me in Shastri Bhavan, he was friendly, smiling and encouraging .I find no words to express sorrow for the departure of this Great person. Government of India and this country needed him. God give him peace and give India and GOI many more Sudhir Naths.

This is putting lot of hardship for all the employees who have completed specially over 24 years. Can some one bell the cat at some senior level to help the low paid employees

This is Comedy Of Terror !!
The minute to minute changing Indian political climate is providing some tearing and some hilarious comic moments and deserve a separate categorisation under the generic name of Comedy. It may be called political comedy or better a "Comedy Of Terror". There is hardly a journalist worth her/his salt who has legged behind in penning some tearful or hilarious piece on the Lalu-Congress or Congress-Lalu affair of recent unraveling .But the traditional Indian comedy writing steals the show. It is: Udaya Singh Ki Gaya Ganth Ke Bachhe Ko Bhi Le Gayee. Translated into english it means that the cow that Udaya Singh (strongman) so benignly left with the poor soul to feed his calf , has taken away even the poorman's calf. Only the poor man did not understand the meaning of the kind gesture of the strongman. That is his funeral !!!
Reminded of the words Bachha. The same that late Jagjivan Ramji used when he claimed that he had closed the mouth of the bachha (Late Sanjaya Gandhi) and left the cow ( Late Indira Gandhi) for others to do the same. Congress (I) as it was then known, had the cow & the calf as its party symbol.

A sigh of relief
At last a huge sigh of relief to me, and may be some sports loving and patriotic people, when it was decided that IPL matches will not be held in India. The cricket + business magnets has infact ruined the real Sports ethos and trend due to huge money involved thru commercials. How much manpower are lost in these cricket matches? Can India really afford so much loss of manpower and valuable time? A true sports like foot ball, Hockey, Basket ball, Volleyball and other individual sports genere has gone in to oblivion. It is true that we don't have the desired standard of sporting facilities yet whatever facilities we have that have been usurped by cricket only. Even nook and corner, streets & paths are not left out, where we can see children playing cricket and breaking window panes of nearby houses and causing great inconvenience to passersby. Shall we call it a sport? It is total disgusting !!

All kudos to Pranab Mukerjee
The IRS is cheering Pranab Mukerjee for his liberal views on the transfers of officers. Spouses are hoping to join their husbands. Those with serious illness in the family have an air of expectancy. Those on verge of retirement are looking forward to a peaceful last posting. Those with seniority but shabby jobs are hoping for a seniority based correction which was selectively applied last year.
