Aaj Ki Aawaz
Many are intrigued why all of a sudden Mohna’s image has taken a downturn???
To get the answer midnight oil one does not need to burn!!
 
On most issues Mohna cannot act on his own!!!
He has to take High Command's permission and this is well known!!
 
Inflation has raged for more than a year!!!!
And all that Mohna has done is lied that inflation taking a dip is very near!!
 
On Pawar’s, Raja’s and Kalmadi’s chori he’s kept mum!!!!
And all three have gotten away after making a neat sum!!!
 
As Kashmir burned Mohna chose the ‘stay away’!!!!!
But his pals say ‘ what could he say’????
 
Some say the process of Rahul taking over has commenced!!!
By Mohna slipping this is what many have sensed!!
 
Many now are of the opinion that Congress’s downturn is well underway!!
And for inflation and allowing corruption Congress is dearly going to pay!!!
 
Okay it’s kept its Muslim Vote Bank intact!!!
But one thing Congress needs to realize ‘ stomach is closest to all’ and this is a fact!
 
Muslims too have borne inflation’s onslaught and now paapi pett is making them rethink!
With inflation now Congress they link!!!
 
The feeling is ......Congress hai aathi!!!
Aur inflation uppar hai jaathi!!!
 
And we bear inflation and on top of this we have to bear Pranab Da vaani!!
‘Growth causes inflation to rise’ kahani pe kahani!!
 
Pranab Da needs to check out other growth stories to realize fallacy in what he’s said!
By growth inflation is not bred!!
 
Pawar now says the rotting food grains news is exaggerated!!
As per Pawar it is all created!!!
 
Pics on TV lie and so do the on the spot reports!!!
To such modes to duck blame many a Neta resorts!!!
 
Do our MP’s deserve a Salary hike?????
A hike that they would very much like!!
 
Fact is with all that’s taken place for the past decade they do not deserve a Salary hike!
And in response to their demands for a hike they should be told to take a hike!!
 
Just check out the time both Houses have lost!!
And very dearly this lost time Nation ko karti hai cost!! 
 
Confucius says…… Salary Hike is given to those who perform!!!
This is the standard norm!

West Bengal way behind in civil services

West bengal has sent three IAS officers Bihar has sent 9 and Jharkhanda 5. Bihar has been infact sending more always. Is Bihar more develop than WB. The brilliant officers of Bihar may kindly think how Bihar could be developed.

Colonial mindset

Stop focussing on 8 or 8.5% growth rate and look at the sorry state of affairs on the governance front, thus said Narayan Murthy. According to him politicians and bureaucrats are trapped in a colonial mindset and they feel they are the masters and there is no need to show any fairness and transparency. The penalty for corruption is minimal as a result there is no fear of repercussions and there is no accountability. Therefore Mr Narayan Murthy has advocated general administrators under IAS be abolished and replaced by a new Indian Management Service . His views have been whole heartedly supported by Lord Meghnad Desai and are bound to find more supporters in days to come. It will be interesting to watch reaction of all those who are greatly enamoured of role and contribution of IAS.

Sudhir Chopra

Prelude to future cover up !

Is it old wine in new bottle or the opposite? The same ministers and bureaucrats who have directly or indirectly and by their gross inefficiency allowed and even assisted Kalmadi and his gang to loot the national exchequer have been included in the committee by PM to supervise the CWG! It may be Perhaps a prelude to the future cover up. The same Jaipal Reddy is there along with Sheila Dikshit, the CabSec and the others. Our economist PM and his boss have forgotten the old adage that one can fool every body once, one always, but not fool every body always.

Well written chronology

Rammoorthy's (Member Adjudicating Authority, Prevention of Money Laundering and IAS Retd.) book is a well written chronology of his transfer and postings essentially. Theme of the book is difficult to interpret.

Selection System for Armed Forces Officers

The selection procedure adopted for selection of Armed Forces Officers is an amalgamation of the systems of constitutional body called UPSC which conducts written tests and a Selection Procedures called SSB as prescribed and overseen by the Defense Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR) under DRDO. Both the are top class civilian agencies and not under Armed Forces. The mission of DIPR is to provide psychological support to the armed forces in selection, training, man-machine interaction and human resources management for optimizing efficiency and well-being of service personnel. The entire procedure is constantly reviewed, kept updated and has been found to be best in the world. Firstly, since 1943, the system has stood the test of the time and secondly, it does find suitable men and women for the tough and responsible jobs. They do not select administrators and Babus but officers. Why deride the system if one had not made through it in his life time? Disqualification in SSB is only disqualification to be Armed Forces Officer, nothing much nothing less. The system screens largest number of candidates in the Country per annum. Due to essential qualities required norms, the rejection rates are very high.
Some participants in the "Forum" display utter ignorance or deliberately and constantly spread lies about everything connected with Armed Forces to show them in negative light. I, on the contrary suggest that all class A job candidates be made to go through this system so that subjectivity of the selection systems are minimized.
Some people, like the commentator Nandan, will never improve, though.

Personal rivalry

The CSS and CSSS people seem to have a lot of time and all they do is fight on your website. Not a single comment of national importance has come from them till now. Please don’t think that I am saying about their service but I am commenting on the individuals belonging to these services who are in habit of regularly visiting your site for fighting. And let me confess I don’t know what CSS and CSSS is?

All kudos to Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi - Prospective & Proactive upcoming hero to take over right thinking and development of India with real vision as learnt by him from his forefathers/family and especially from his parents. This youngster guy must be given a chance to take over reigns of India politics, interestingly, for the welfare of all people of various caste, creed and religion. I welcome his active entry in World's affairs thru reigns of India.

H S Bhalla

Want to see Rahul Gandhi as PM !

Dear Rahul, we all want to see you as Prime Minister of India. You are the one who can think, lead and take care of the Indian Republic. Even today we remember Rajiv Gandhi - your father who had won the hearts of millions of people in India and the world over. He achieved the goals and wanted to bring prosperity for each and every one. Now we see the same thinking and care for the people of India. May the Almighty give you strength and courage to lead India which is only possible when you become our Prime Minister. Do not delay the same. We wish you and your family healthy long life.

My salute to them

I consider myself fortunate to have worked under two Officers who left an indelible impact:
Mrs. Shanta Shastry, IAS (MH:65) - She has deep interest in the Indian systems of medicines and has written extensively on them. She is based in Bangalore and it was a long time since I spoke to her. Her simplicity was worth-emulating and workaholism noteworthy.
Next, father-like-figure was K. K. Jaswal, IAS (UP:68)whose interest in Jain scriptures has won him accolades and awards. When I last spoke to him, he was heading the Common Cause in his own inimitable manner. His precision to detail is legendary and his wit incisive.

Khazan Chandra Joshi

Others are worst culprits ?

To me it seems that Suresh Kalmadi is being made a fall guy of CWG while there are others who are worst culprits then him. Look out the mess Delhi Government has created on the roads of Delhi and check out the corruption in Delhi Government. Any detail audit would bring out the massive scale of corruption in Delhi Government. NDTV started with one investigative report on the Health Department Scam in Delhi Government but then it suddenly went silent and whole focus was amazingly shifted to Suresh Kalamadi led OC. Why?
Look out the mess has created in CP which looks like a bombed zone. Why is media silent or soft on that? To me all this looks quite murky and it appears that a deliberate attempt is being made to keep focus on OC to save the bigger fish in the pond.

Ruhan

Punish the guilty

The mess being witnessed in the organizing CWG would exemplify the weak accountability system we have. If you ask some fundamental questions and if and if answer to all these questions is in affirmative then even a child would say that punish the guilty but that is most unlikely to happen in our system. Let me exemplify with following few questions:
Do we agree that in the run up to the CWG we have witnessed some of the worst of our inefficiency and non-performance?
Do we agree that this inefficiency and non-performance has caused huge jump in the cost of the CWG?
Do we agree that due to this we have also compromised on quality of the various projects?
Do we agree that consequence to this we have also witnessed huge wastage's of resources?
Do we agree that there has also been massive corruption at various levels in the government and OC?
Do we agree that this has damaged our national reputation irreparably ?

If we have agreement on all these questions then anywhere in the world the people responsible would have been given exemplary punishment. But what would happen in our country? Most of the guys responsible for the mess we are witnessing would not only get away with this but may also probably get rewarded by the government for 'successful organization of games'. I would love to be proven wrong.

Are we really celebrating our National days ?

Every 6 months we observe the formality of celebrating Independence Day and Republic Day. But are we really patriotic. Take the recent incident of Dantewada. Chhattisgarh police, CRPF and Airfore are supposed to be fighting naxalites there. On 29 June when police were engaged in a fight and wanted reinforcement from CRPF and copter assistance from Airforce, both refused to cooperate. Airforce refused because their 80hrs per month quota was already exhausted. Imagine 4 copters have been fixed a cumulative flight time of 80 hours per month which is less than 1 hr time for each copter. CRPF refused saying that they will go only if Airforce people go.
Strange is the situation. We have not heard what the defence minister (boss of airforce) and HM (boss of CRPF) did react to this unfortunate incident in which life of several policemen. Airforce pilots on duty in Chhattisgarh keep resting in hotels, wining and dining. Is this the attitude of those deployed in national duty.
Where is the coordination in the government.

Rakesh Tiwari

Only corrupt officials allowed to stay in OC

The fact is Kalmadi and his cronies have allowed only corrupt officials to stay in OC. In the begining many honest and efficient Govt officers came to OC but all of them were forced to leave because of the corruption and highhanded behaviour of the cronies and Kalmadi. How can we forget that two most honest and efficient IAS officers S K Arora and Sudhir Nath suffered heart attacks and died untimely after being posted as Secretary Sports? S K Arora was humiliated by Kalmadi and V K Verma and others .He wrote many letters to powers that are but was posted out himself and nothing happened to Kalmadi. Once the Pune Youth Games became a disaster, the Govt should have woken up.Now it is too late and no body wants to take over at this late stage and be responsible for failed games. So Kalmadi will stay and after the games, everything will be forgotten. Mera Bharat Mahan.
