Shiela Aunty says ‘ Clean up will be completed by Monday’!!!!
But the real clean up will not be done and guilty will not be made to pay!
 
Kalmadi has taken responsibility but refused to take the blame!!!
Keeps giving excuses that are without legs leave alone being lame!!
 
Kalmadi is definitely to blame!!!
And in equal proportions Shiela Aunty and Gill share the shame!!!
 
So on the shame podium where Kalmadi stands on first place slot!!!
Second place slot Shiela Aunty and Gill have got!!
 
On the third place slot stand Sonia and Mohna!!!
Who refused to take action despite all the ronna dohna!!!
 
Sonia could have acted and taken Kalmadi to task as he is a Congressman!!!
And Mohna as PM could have enforced on Kalmadi going near the CWG a ban!!
 
Without a doubt these people have made India’s stock take a tumble!!!
A Nation that was perceived to be running fast was made to stumble!!
 
Now the perception is we are unhygienic, corrupt and incapable!!
Now they even say to take on such a prestigious project India was not capable!!
 
The objective of the Games has taken a beating!!!!!
And from roaring our Games Mascot is perceived to be shamefully bleating!!
 
These Games showcase the Nation hosting the Games!!!
And in our showcase its ‘shame and blames’!!!!!
 
Sonia is sitting in US and will say ‘I was not in the pic’!!!
She’s there to see her Mom who is sick!!
 
Mohna will say ‘I’m not a games person and India’s poor are my priority’!!
As Games do not benefit the poor giving attention to Games would be a ‘impropriety’!!!
 
Though in actuality Mohna cares two hoots for the poor!!!!
With sheer Capitalism his economics long time back Mohna did moor!!
 
Rahul they say is a Neta on vacation!!!
This is the general perception of the Nation!!
 
He pops up and then goes back on a vacation!!!
Seems politically he is never ‘in station’!!!!
 
Have you heard anything from him on the issues that plague the Nation?????
That is why it’s felt he is a Neta on vacation!!
 
Confucius says…..If they say ‘he has it in him’ what is he waiting for??????
Man wasting his talent is like man turning away from opportunity’s door!!

RTI
Copy of complaint filed by third party
The appellant had sought a copy of the complaint filed against him by the third party which was permitted by the first appellate authority. The third party filed an appeal against this order claiming exemption u/s 8(1)(g). The Commission observed that the third party has produced no evidence to prove that the appellant is likely to endanger the physical safety of the third party. The appellant has only claimed that the third party is a habitual complainant and the mere allegation of this nature does not establish any ground to believe that the physical safety of third party is endangered. The Commission directed the PIO to give a copy of the complaint to the appellant.
Comments
In the absence of the Whistleblower’s Act, an applicant would have to substantiate his claim of a danger to his life and physical safety to claim exemption u/s 8(1)(g).

Don’t raise retirment age
 
I am in Government with more than 20 years of service. I wonder why Government should raise the age of retirement ? The permanency of the civil service (or life long job) too has its disadvantages like inefficient bureaucracy that cannot even organize CWG. The answer would lie in revamping the Civil Service, allow for lateral induction of talent. IAS and other services may oppose it. The answer to that should be an equal opportunity for the government folks to go out ( on secondment, lien , whatever). Let us work towards having a more robust governance system, rather than clamour for 62 or 65. My advise would be to reduce the retirement age from 60 back to 58 or 55, and free up these highly rated, top civil servants to serve society in any other way they want ( from 55- 70). 15 productive years!  Looking forward to hearing more on this.

Nothing to repent by Government
 
Please close chapter for enhancement of retirement age to 62.  There is nothing to repent by Government.  Retaining  of a person over the age of 60 years in Government service is, as it is felt, to  call for an invitation of  liabilities on public.  Please close this chapter once and for all.

All kudos to our system ! 
 
As one watches in exasperation the mess surrounding the CWG 2010, one is also sure of one fact that despite such a huge loss of face of the nation before the international community, no one, I reiterate here no one, would be held responsible for all this. Such is our system that bureaucrats would hide behind netas who will pass buck onto each other and after a plenty of mud slinging the 'chalta hai' would takeover. Our media would cry hoax and slogan of 'enough is enough' would surface once again for some time but things would remain the way they are. CAG and CVC would come out with some reports( which as usual would have nothing new to offer) and the same would be referred to a parliamentary committee which would give a 'golomol report' after donkey's years which shall rot into some government record rooms to be quoted by some intelligent parliamentarians once in a while in their speeches. We in this nation have learnt the art of patience and move on and the end of all these stories is as predictable as the end of our Mumbaiah movies.
 
Jai Hind!
 
Long live Indian democracy and its netas!

Don't take people for a riot!
 
Everybody from the PM/HM to civil society is talking in the name of the people, but nobody reveals what it is all about! Even our Judges of the HC have taken almost 60 years to understand what it is all about, but seem to be unsure of it all. They got the assistance of the AGs and lawyers but still can not decide a simple matter of title to a small piece of land! The tragedy is that they expect the people of india to understand what it is all about in a few moments of their delivering the judgement! What do they think of the people? Some kind of Shri Ram or Allah? If the courts want time, if the government wants time, if the civil society wants time, please give the people of india time to understand what it is all about. It would be naive for anybody to expect the youth under 25 years of age to understand what it is all about when they were not even born at the time the dispute was raised by insensitive people nor have they been taught anything about it in school/college/university/job. How do you expect people to react without possessing the factual information on the subject? Do you want them to be (mis)informed by agitated TV anchors, debaters, politicians, religious dignitaries, newspapers, foreign media or Al-quaida/Pakistan/ISI? The lawyers on both sides say the matter is "complex". If it is complex, please place all the facts of the case in public domain, since the public at large is going to be affected by this judgement as by no earthquake/tsunami/tornado/wild fire etc. The people have a right to know what is bothering the courts that they have failed to deliver the judgement for decades and still unsure about. Tell us the "complex" contours of this issue and we will solve it in less than 4 weeks straight. Trust the wisdom of the ordinary in India over the legal complexities created by the English law, which nobody seems to understand fully! We demand of the court to please release the case books on their website and also in CD form for all those who want to understand the issues and contribute to a satisfactory resolution, sparing the lives & properties of the citizens and the nation. Heavens are not going to fall if my request is granted by the courts. On the other hand Heavens are likely to descend on our beloved India!

Pride and Nationalism
 
Complicated Indian polity
 
The polity of India is complicated in terms of region, religion, language, caste and gender. This has unfortunately led to loss of national pride and spirit. Nationalism is forgotten word. The lack of pride in our country, and lack of nationalism ( as is evident in CWG Mess) should be a wake up call to all. There is a need for a citizens movement to build nationalism. Not too sure if Government could do anything! Is the Congress Party grown enough to take this as an agenda ?

We bit more than we could chew !
 
I am pained to write here. We bit more than we could chew , did not put best men on the job,  allowed efficient people to retire, delayed approvals by treating Games projects like ordinary projects, too many committees/men to monitor, Games in October instead of November to allow for time after monsoon.
But still we will come out  with success. I am sure.

Hold one person responsible
The pathetic situation of Delhi during commonwealth or any other city during an occasion or even on normal days, the solution is only one. Just as in many western countries, there should be only one person responsible for the good or bad of a city. It’s the Mayor. In these countries, the Mayor has all the police power, magisterial power, civic power and he is powered as well  as responsible for everything in the city. The government must bring this system in Indian cities. Today the DM runs civil administration, Mayor is supposed to run civic administration, SP is boss of law and order, so in the end nobody is responsible.

Think it over 
 
So many bureaucrats could not show results for CWG. Only one technical person with his technical team showed excellent results for giving Metro to Delhi. Think it over and engage good managers.

What about others having same ground in representation? Reasons for rejecting them should be given for transparency. God save those who have kept their family well hence no medical ground and not married with working girl to have spouse ground.

Subletting BHEL quarters  
 
Denial of Government residential accommodation to Central Government employees on account of subletting by its employees for greed of more earning has become a profession and another big chunk of accommodations with enquires meant for renovation by plundering away precious wooden doors and windows and replacing it with useless material and keeping for 6-12 months leads to loss of revenue to Government and denial of accommodation to employees.  One can approach any Govt. colony's property dealer and you can get accommodation on price.  All above seems to be big commerce to property dealers, CPWD employees, prized owner of govt. accommodation and somewhat to estates employees and looser is Govt., tax payer and the un-allotted Govt. employees.  Since none of the above will change shall we start a movement through this august website by daily putting in one or more accommodation which are on rent in our neighbourhood or are with CPWD for over one month in the name of renovation and upgradation - as under renovation also leads to anti social activities by disgruntled employees and bad elements leading to sence of insecurity in neighbourhood.  This will make out the rot in the system and help to genuine users and unallotted govt. employees.  CVC, CVO, CPWD and Directorate of Estates needs to take note of it and act.  The first such contribution is of Ram Avtar Mittal, JE, CPWD, residing at B-1/56/I, Safdarjung enclave and who is and allottee of Block No. 10, House No. 172, Lodhi Colony, and the accommodation is rented out to a private person.

Kudos to SM Krishna
 
After several years, some authority from Indian Government has raised the issue of Pakistani hegemony over part of J&K. He deserves applause.  We should call the Pak's bluff on all forums whenever Pak tries to raised the issue of J&K in any forum.

Give command to them 
.
Neta is indispensable in political system.
At least do away with IAS.
Give command of ministries to technocrats-
Engineering ministries to engrs
Health to doctors.
Revenue, finance to IRS
Banking, RBI to bankers etc.
Remember most of leaders and bureaucrats in China are technocrats.
All secretaries in US are specialists in their fields.
Only in India a layman called generalist call IAS having no knowledge of anything, understanding no implication to society, environment, defence of his bad decisions bosses over everything.
Just as you have removed/sidelined Kalmadi,  remove IAS.

Appeasing Muslims !
 
It appears Congress and CPI(M) are falling over each other to appease Muslims. While Government in Kerala is sending financial relief to Pakistan, the WB Government has declared all Muslims as OBCs. Mean while centre has declared a subsidy of Rs.16ooo each to the 1.8 Lakhs Haj pilgrims, a whopping 300 crores of tax payer’s money. All these Governments are giving substantial financial aid to the medieval Madarsas though they do not impose any control over its running. They are also declaring Madarsa examinations as equivalent to CBSE and degree examinations.
