Write ACR in time or be ready for punishment?
To avoid recurrence of incidences like the one narrated in the report captioned "Write ACR in time or be ready for punishment?", I wish to suggest a remedy that every ACR form should contain additional data sheet (in duplicate) containing dates of submission of Resume to the Reporting Officer, Reviewing Officer, Accepting Officer, as also the names of all these officers. As and when the concerned officer fills the respective portion of the ACR, a copy of the data sheet duly filled in by the concerned officer, be sent to the ACR Maintenance Section for them to keep a watch of the movement of the ACR. The time limit during which the ACR should be written should be reduced to maximum 15 days after which the ACR be deemed to have been written by the concerned officer in the chain and if any of the officers in the chain defaults, in the first place, he should be reminded to write the ACR immediately and if he does not comply with it, the ACR be deemed to have been written/ reviewed/accepted, as the case may be, and categorised as outstanding and the officer who has defaulted, an adverse entry in his ACR should be made to this effect/increment stopped/ promotion due denied etc.

TAIL-PIECE
Mohammed, a young Middle-eastern boy, entered his classroom on the first day of school in Australia.
"What is your name?" asked the teacher.
"Mohammed" answered the kid.
"We are in Australia and there is no "Mohammed" here. It will be very difficult to pronounce your name in school. So, from now on your name will be Michael" replied the teacher. That evening, Mohammed returned home. "How was your day, Mohammed?" asked his mother.
"My name is not 'Mohammed'. I am an Australian and now my name is 'Michael." replied the son.
"Ah, are you ashamed of your name, are you trying to disown your parents, your heritage, your culture, your religion? Shame on you, Mohammed" and she beat him. Then she called his father and he too beat him savagely.
The next day Mohammed returned to school. When the teacher saw him with all the bruises she asked:
"What happened to you little Michael?"
"Well, Miss, you wouldn't believe it, just two hours after becoming an Australian, I was attacked by two Arabs!"
