No new secretaries

"No new secretaries, only additional charges" wic 1.10.15. A very good sign by pragmatic and delivery man PM Modi for minimum Government, Maximum governance. Secretaries should be drawn from professionals in Government and Private sector, through a rigorous interview comprising of private professionals also. Secretary post should not be a birthright of just one British service.

Bharat

Only development can save Bihar

In Bihar, Modi is against crafty leaders who are well versed in the art of the possible. But Modi has proved to be quite a handful for them. It is a fact that only development can save Bihar. And only Modi is talking of development. It seems that finally, Bihar will get the development it deserves, courtesy the Lion of Gujarat.

A K Singh

Shed some more tears, Mr. PM

Close on the heels of Justice Sahay Commission report on the communal riots of Muzaffarnagar, the lynching of an innocent person in front of his old mother, wife, children and brother, by one thousand strong crowd, on the basis of rumours/suspicion, is the most diabolic and barbarian act against humanity. It is most unfortunate that this criminal activity has taken place in the Indian capital's neighborhood in Greater Noida area. It signifies that the horrible psyche, its spectre and beastly instinct as reflected against the minorities in 1984 genocide and later on, still actively lives on. The tender feelings, the PM exhibited for the travails of his revered mother, by shedding tears in USA, should become the tears, and kind and tender feelings for humanity and should not remain selective emotional outburst. He should personally monitor this case and ensure that each and every person who participated in this dastardly act should be brought before law and punished. Each one is guilty of murder and crime against humanity. This is the sole way of preventing recurrence of such crimes against the mankind

I-T dept. staff should focus on work

The spread of false notion of work getting affected due to shortage of officers at AC/DC level is not going to help country and income tax department. Main shortage is at the level of staff which is affecting ground work in department. Staff in income tax department should focus more on work as they are already enjoying fastest promotion in govt of India. Their strike is affecting growth of country. Inspectors are getting promoted into ITO and AC/DC without acquiring necessary skills and experience which is affecting the quality of work. Government of India should look into this matter of shortage of staff in income tax department.

Bhupendra Prasad

OROP: Don't back out

SSc officer got excellent re-employment hence he talks rot now. OROP was granted but has now been diluted to OR Five Pensions at the behest of IAS officers. You don't cheat your soldiers. We obeyed orders to the extent of laying down lives. For god's sake no Jumla for us only keep your promise. If Modi doesn't give it someone else will. Modi will lose credibility if he backs out. We are still hopeful he will use his brain rather than of Babus.

S Shridhar

Satire: The Boss

Earlier the very word boss existed only in the dreaded World of Crime. Boss conveyed the image of a mysterious man wearing dark glasses, overcoat, and hat with a cigar dangling between his thick lips. Boss would invariably be the trigger-happy ruthless man having his pet kitten on his lap and his favourite Lily darling beside him.

Later Bosses evolved themselves keeping pace with the changing times and they became don, mafia king and legislators. The sissy version of boss is found in offices. This type of boss doesn't have the luxury of cat in the lap instead he has rats, pigeons and bee hives for company. There are no Lily darlings either rather over-aged, overweight/over-burdened women would pretend working.

Boss is the most favourite and evergreen topic of discussion (read criticism) Ridiculing boss is like having a fruit chaat, it is only masala which keeps varying according to one's taste. His each and every action is noted, mimicked, analyzed and dissected during lunch breaks and tea breaks. How he thinks too much of himself and is shabbily/gaudily dressed. He has no manners and keeps grinning or he has constipated face and seldom smiles.

You go early to office, Boss comes late. You go late, he comes early. Not dependable at all. To make phone calls at odd hours seems to be his favourite hobby. Sitting till wee hours in the office, he doesn't care a hoot for his family and expects you to follow his footsteps and yet be imperfect so that he could pick holes whenever he chose so. He can't see anyone happy. He is undisputed a cynic also. Sometimes he would cheerfully ask well being of your entire family but most of the times he stares through you with a blank face as if meeting for the first time.

Another important property of boss is liberal sprinkling of English words in Hindi conversation esp. words like bloody, oh hell, rubbish, Johnny, Chap, etc. Boss is normally found to be suffering from blood pressure, diabetes and heart problems. Boss is often a smoker too but in recent times smoking has given way to cocktails.

A good boss should rarely smile. Hearty laugh is a strict no no. This helps creating an aura around you. At times he should act cold with familiar people also, such as refusing to recognize them, being unable to place them.

Boss always runs, short of time, No time to respond to useless invitations. In case any invitation persists you may yield only to arrive late. Keep looking at your wrist watch as often as you can and excuse yourself at the middle of the program. After all you are a boss, no idler, Boss is never idle, even when he is, he does not show it, LBDN - look busy do nothing.

A good boss is that who can find several faults in the best acknowledged subordinate. For half a day leave he asks half a dozen questions. Boss would always be short tempered and keep losing it on the slightest pretext.

Bosses don't eat peanuts or plantains. They partake only cashew nuts and fresh juice. Boss doesn't read vernacular newspapers and magazines. A good boss always reads English ones and announces as often as possible how weak he was in Hindi, Bangla, and Tamil as the case may be. Suit, safari, tie, sunglasses all are meant for boss. A good boss is invariably a bald boss. Boss doesn't go for movies at first place, when he goes he goes only for English films. More serious and bore the film is more it would be liked by the boss. A good boss must have visited few countries preferably on government expense. This helps him in beginning or concluding a conversation e.g. last winter when I had gone to USA... a similar thing happened with me in London… the best ice-cream I ever had was on Eiffel Tower.

Boss doesn't travel by cycle or scooter. He travels by car and in no case lower than by chartered bus. He flies to other cities, draws salary through cheque, pays bills by credit card. A good boss has favourite authors, painters, actors and mind you, not Indian, have to be essentially foreigners. So these are few characteristics of a boss, the list can go on but does it augur well for a boss to write long notes?

DATE WITH RTI

Medico legal report of self and others

The appellant suffered injury on his head in a clash which he alleged to have been shown as 'simple' in the MLC and those of his opponents were shown as 'grievous' even though they were simple injuries. He claimed that as a result, the police filed criminal case against him under section 308 IPC, attempt to murder. He sought the MLC of himself and that of his neighbours in order to fight his case in the court. The CIC directed to provide the MLC report.

Comments


The CIC has been conservative in providing the MLC reports holding them as personal information which may impede the process prosecution of the accused. In most cases, it has been directed by the CIC to obtain such reports through the court rather than taking up the onus on itself to decide whether such information should be given.
