Drinking Buddies ...Laurel and Hardy version ....one fat the other thin...
Fat Friend: Thookne waale ko thookne ka bahana chahiye...
Thin Friend: Where ..where ....I did not spit ... Ma Kasam...
My Friend : Arre it's for Kejri...
TF: I feel Kejri is right ... why was he not informed about the raid
???
Me: Because CBI is not required to do it ....moreover ...take a realistic
look... the guy raided has serious complaints against him but still
Mr Honest overlooked these and appointed him and kept him as his PS
... so is CBI right or wrong in keeping Kejri out of the loop????? On
one side Kejri says he touchstone of Honesty and on the other hand appoints
someone with serious issues of corruption to the most important post
in his Office (Kejriwal was allegedly appraised about the serious complaints
on the concerned individual prior to his appointing him)...
FF: And the atrocious language he has used....now don't say he is CM
of Delhi and in Delhi such language is not considered bad..... where
even friends greet each other with bad language ...in fact if a friend
does not abuse the other friend asks him are you annoyed with me ...
TF: See how this Government is troubling poor Sonia ..imagine she has
to appear in Court ....
MF: Tut ...tut.... so you want a special Law for Gandhi family ...
maybe in this Law..the Judge appears before them!!!
TF: I just know one thing it breaks my heart to see a Queen having
to face this ignominy ..
FF: Oye Sonia de kadhche (Sonia's extra large spoon)...why don't you
accompany the mob expected to accompany her to Court ...
TF: Maybe I will..... bahut dukhi hoo .... <calls to the Barman>
stiff large on the rocks ...
FF: Don't forget for more than a decade Congress has targeted Modi
... and has nothing to show ... gone to the extent of trying to embarrass
him overseas ..
TF: Arre sporting honna chahiye... these things happen when you are
in electoral politics .....
FF: Oye pakdo mainoo..iss noo mein kutt dena hai ( hold me or I will
thrash this fellow) ....both Kejri's PS's and Sonia's cases it's the
law that is taking its course ...and you object to it but you want Modi
to sportingly face electoral politics guided maliciousness. .
TF: See even Shatru has tweeted that CBI raid was a ill conceived step
..
MF: Ha ha...Shatru ... today Modi gives him a Ministerial Berth and
Shatru will do a U Turn....
TF: < High by now> Khamosh.... my two Investors who are big time
Middlemen have not only stopped investing they are withdrawing investments
< Barman wadha waala lao> gaddi (train) rukk gayi merri....your
friend's business has taken a downturn ..all because of this Modi ...
na khaoo ga na khaane doonga....
MF: < Whispers ...abh Sach boll raha hai> ...Achcha tehre Investors
ki Shops have closed down because Modi has put an end to Middlemen Shops...
TF: They lament and remember the UPA days ....money used to flow ....
hai ..hai .....jaane kahaa gaye woh dinn....see if Modi does not want
to eat ..why is he stopping others..because he is vegetarian doesn't
mean Nation has to turn vegetarian...height of intolerance ...
MF: Oye he's drunk....let's leave him home!!
M: Chodo kall ki baathe kall ki baath poorani.... abh siraf khaane

Harmful for justice delivery system
There has been much delay in the appointment of Judges in the SC and
High Court which is very harmful for justice delivery system.
S N Kumar
CHS officers should also be empanelled
I agree that CHS officers should also be empanelled as Joint Secretary/AS,
at least in health ministry or similar work places to start with. There
working conditions in government hospitals is very pathetic. I have
seen very senior surgeon (SAG scale) in RML hospital sitting in 5'*3'
box. No vehicle, no peon, no water these senior doctors have to manage
everything themselves.

Information about the selection process
An applicant sought
information regarding allotment of an LPG agency in Noida, allotment
of land concerning the same and related issues. The information
was denied by the PIO but the FAA informed the applicant that
he could inspect the relevant documents at the office of the Respondents.
However, it was not done. The CIC observed that the selection
processes should be completely transparent, so that there is no
doubt whatsoever regarding the selections that are made. The CIC
directed to facilitate inspection of all the relevant documents
by the applicant excluding the information of a personal nature
concerning the selected candidate.
Comments
A comment of some personal dispute between
the families of the applicant and the selected candidate was brushed
aside by the CIC with the remark that it would have no impact
on the issue of disclosure. Further, such selection processes
should be completely transparent and any citizen should have access
to the documents concerning the same.
