Price rise should be worrying Congress!!!
Yes in elections such an issue should be giving Congress stress!!
Yes had elections not been there Congress would have maintained a stoic silence!!!
Congress realizes with the man who made prices go up it has an alliance!!!
Pawar on the other hand is least bothered…. he's done what he wanted to do!!!
In his scales the hay made in one scale outweighs our boos….. boo!!!
And Madam Humaneness has decided to keep mum!!!!!
On the price rise she's not even expressed gumm (sorrow)!
Congress is believing in the fib that prices will now start to fall!!!
Price rice at least in the near future will not even stall!!
Why isn't Government plugging the export of non Basmati rise???
All it has to do is raise the minimum export price!!
The cardinal rule for agri exports is Nation only exports when there is no shortfall!!!
Exporting basic food grains when there is shortfall ko stupidity karte hai call!!
But 'what could poor Sarkaar do' when a handful of Rice Exporters demanded reduction!!!!
And in the files Sarkaar was 'forced' to justify that there was a scenario of over production!!
So in the files there was a rice glut and in the files the reduction was justified!!!
Factual condition by fudging were defied!!!
Without a doubt India's stature has risen because of Manmohan Singh!!!!
By the way in a Jet 'happy birthday' those accompanying him did sing!!
' For he's a competent fellow' (sung to the tune of 'he's a jolly good fellow)!!
And in front of him all our Netas do mellow!!
Indians I'm sure feel that there is a competent man holding the reins!!!
Or you can say ' a competent man at the main's'!!!!
And then he's honest and this is the cherry on the cake!!!
Even his worst detractors agree …. Mohna nahi karta hai 'take' !!!!!
In Maharashtra Balasahib's worried sick because he knows nephew Raj,
Apni mischief se nahi aaye ga baaj!!!
Fact is nephew is Uncle's clone and is doing what Uncle would have done!!!!
Balasahib needs to pump in more of himself in his son!!!
In Mumbai and Thane and some other Cities MNS will make Sena dearly pay!!!
You can say by MNS this time Sena ho jaye gi waylay!!!
Now it's too late for peace pipe smoking….. Balasahib as it is cannot smoke!!!!
No more smoke his lungs can soak!!!!
There was a time he loved being photographed with his pipe in his gob!!!!
First pipe ne health ki rob and now detoriating health ne pipe ki rob!!
Amar Singh says relations with Congress are non-existent!!!!
Were relation ever existent????
Yes both have used the other!!!!
Like recently….by Congress to get numbers and by SP to get benefits for Amar's mooh bolla brother!
Every hour demands were made by SP for Anil Ambani or Amar's mooh bolla brother!!!!
Amongst the demands were demands to create for Anil's real brother bother!!
Speaking of Anil…… once mobile number mobility comes into effect!!
From Reliance many customers are going to eject!!
Reliance has a cheap tag……. not economically but in image!!!
Its old positioning of 'being the rikshawallas phone is doing it damage'!!!
None of the groups that really use mobiles would be caught dead with a Reliance number!!!!
By the younger lot who really use phones 'having a Reliance connection…nothing could be dumber'!
Confucius says…. Dad dreamed of cheap calls and son made the identity cheap!!!
Company ka assar ……after all we become the same as the company we keep!!
Adds…. filminess he's got from Big B and rottenness is a joint venture of Big B and Amar Singh!!
Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to this brotherhood's penchant to have fling pe fling!

A matter of proud
It was very heartening to see that an IFS officer from India delivered the Key note address in an International Workshop in Nepal on community forestry which is linked to the livelihood of poor. Dr VK Bahuguna deserve this credit as one of the best forester of post 1970 generation and analytical brain in the civil service. May Jairam Ramesh use the services of such officers and guide the younger once to achieve professional excellence as shown by Dr Bahuguna. Congratulation for giving such fresh news in the whispers.

Bahuguna, one of the finest forestry sector professional
Dr VK Bahuguna is no doubt one of the finest forestry sector professionals in the country and it is expected that he plays a key role in shaping the key policy initiatives in the country....

This disparity is not new in the services
Through Engineering Services Examination Directly recruited Gp A officers of 1986 examination to MES are still in JAG grade (that too NFSG of STS). There is just no parity. Any body can put a spoke in the cadre review proposals also.
