Aaj Ki Aawaz
Ghadkari seems to have got up on the wrong side of his bed!
He called Mulayam and Laloo dogs and both of them and dogs are seeing red!
 
Ghadkari was irked by both ditching Opposition during the Cut Motion!!
Just vented out his locked up emotion!!
And maybe he saw a Dharmendra movie recently and so the doggy statement!
As per Dharmendra his enemies are dogs and for drinking their blood is meant!
 
Mulayam and Laloo are selfish and do not have any doggy qualities!!
Comparison is full of inequalities!!
 
If you ask me they are more like cats!!
And they suck blood like bloodsucking bats!!
 
Ghadkari will of course say sorry to both!!
But what about doggies joh yeh comparison karr rahe hai loathe???
 
Ghadkari must apologize to doggies too!!
Otherwise wherever he goes doggies will via their barks boo!!
 
Jairam went to meet PC to say ‘Ram Ram’!!
But PC’s still cut up with Jairam!
 
Jairam has offered to resign!!
Typed his resignation letter which he has now only to date and sign!!
 
Diggy says he had no intention of causing PC any hurt!!
So what he said was an ‘impromptu blurt’!!
 
Seems Congress wants to control the fault lines!!!
And then when PC whines he really whines!!
 
PC’s been whining and moving about with a hurt and glum look!!
So steps to stop his whining High Command took!
 
Though PC’s unpopularity is very much in intact!!!!
And within in the Cabinet ‘lets get him booted out’ there is a pact!!
 
New CJI says ‘frivolity’ will not be tolerated!!
Excuse to reject RTI applications on grounds of frivolity Mohna wants to be created!
 
For one man it may be a matter of life and death and for the other it could be frivolous!
For Justice this could be perilous!!
 
Mamtha says she’ll not quite UPA and if she’s forced to go she will not do so!!
This is not the Mamtha we all know!!!
 
Looking at Mamtha’s past Mulayam has offered SP MPs to UPA if Mamtha quits!
Mamtha is known to have ‘anger fits’!!
 
Coach Kirsten says he is fitter than most in the Indian team!!
In stamina Indian team ke members ko karr saktha hai cream!!
 
Problem is Indian Team has too much alcohol in their khoon!!
Loose concentration and get tired a bit too soon!!
 
The IPL Kingfisher parties have got their heads spinning!!
As sportsmen they’ve been sinning!!
 
Confucius says….. when the Board is rotten what can you expect the team to be???
The team in the Board and the Boar in the Team we see!!
 
Flash… Laloo says if Ghadkari has to apologize he must do so holding his ears!
Laloo’s found his tongue as Bihar election nears!!
 
Can Bihar afford another term of Laloo??????
They say in Bihar public has developed a dislike for samosa which is stuffed with aloo!

Caste has ceased to be relevant ?
This morning the census enumerator came to our house and amongst other questions asked for details of our caste. I told her that since we do not believe in the caste system this is one information we are not willing to share. In any case ,our children and almost all other close relations have married outside the caste and region and there is a national integration in the family. Caste has ceased to be relevant as also regions . We are proud to be Indians and will not allow a handful of power seeking people to exploit the myth of backwardness due to caste ,to destroy all that has been built up in free India. It was the foreign rulers who exploited the differences in caste ,region and religion to divide us. We should not allow the Indians elected by us to do the same .I urge all right thinking Indians not to promote casteism and to refrain from giving information about your own caste.
Suman Swarup
Reason not far away to seek
Recent policy & actions of the Govt. are extracting on the civil servants making them accountable to the public at large and RTI requests are aplenty to make it difficult for the civil servant to attend to normal functions. Barring the lure of better salaries unlike the past, Government's attitude towards Government servants has turned hawkish and the babu's children know that in the next generation government service will be regarded a ditch job and have no respect. Of course, the view may change if youth majority the Parliament and dirty tricksters of the old generation from all belts are ebbed out!

Kudos to DOPT
Kudos to DOPT: These comments could not be of a CSSS official, because a CSSS official knows that a PPS/Sr.PPS or PSO today, was a Gr.D too someday and had regularly sat late after office hours then without any complaint. Further, all SrPPS/PSO don’t leave office early, at least not at the cost of official duties. Therefore, somebody is definitely playing mischief. I request the Editor not to give space to such comments.

Fate of Hindi Translators Of Ol cadre.
Junior Hindi Translators were given pay scale of 5500-9000 equivalent to that of Assistants and Grade C Stenos.6th CPC put all these three categories in Grade Pay of 4200. Of late, assistants and Grade C Stenos have been given Grade Pay of 4600 while Junior Hindi Translators are still languishing in GP of 4200. Why this disparity? Can we expect some improvement? Why this step brotherly treatment?
