Orange Juice at 4 A.M.

Imagine this happening during the peak days of militancy, a true experience of bureaucratic mindset, whims, and nadirshahi instincts.

I had just come back from the badly marooned villages, when a police constable brought me a TPM of deputy commissioner's tour of the sub-division for two days. He was to come at 11 a.m., the following day. So the tehsil officials had to be informed about the usual drill of making all arrangements of boarding and lodging and expected tour of the marooned villages. Almost entire night was spent on making arrangements. By 10 p.m. Next day I was awfully tired less by the physical exertion, but more by the tantrums and unusual requirements of the deputy commissioner and his wife. It was a great relief to us all that the General manager of the textile mill had arrived at 7 pm along with his wife to relieve some of our stress. After they left around 10.15 pm, I also sought leave and hoped to have some sound sleep. No sooner had I gone to bed, when my peon informed me that Tehsildar sahib had come. Naturally I had to reluctantly attend to him with fear that he might have come with some avoidable but acute problem. I was right. He told me that the deputy commissioner had ordered that he should be served orange juice at 4 am. He was in apparently panicky. He very respectfully said, ''Sir, it is the month of July, orange season has been over for months, and at this moment of night, where would we go to find out oranges and the machine?'' I was thinking that do not the senior officers think about the possible things and the convenience of their subordinates? On many occasions earlier also, we had been put to such horrible situations. However I asked,''Tehsildar sahab, how DC sahib has come across this idea of orange juice at mid-night?'' He replied, ''Janab, I had asked his PA, he told me that, Sahib was much impressed with the pink skin of the general manager. He asked him the secret of his rosy skin and the GM had told him that he regularly took orange juice at 4am.'' Tehsildar was a very seasoned officer. Before coming to me he had explored all possibilities of arranging orange juice. He also tried to meet the general manager, but his security did not allow him to meet him. He said, ''Janab, we should go to general manager and tell him to make arrangement only fortomorrow morning.'' I gave thought to it since there was no other way to wriggle out of this imbroglio, as no reasoning would ever work with the deputy commissioner.

Since Tehsildar could not meet the GM, in spite of his serious effort, I called my gunmen and we proceeded to highly fortified GM's house. He got up after many attempts by his security. But he was extra-courteous even at that odd hour. I said, ''Sehgal sahab, why have you put us in this dilemma, fully knowing the nature of our sahib? ''It appeared from his face that he had understood the situation, but still said in surprise, ''What happened sir jee? ''Hardly had I said orange juice, when he put both his hands on his head. I told him the entire story. Embarrassment was writ large on his face. He said, ''Sir jee, honestly speaking, I am allergic to oranges and have not taken orange or orange juice for thirty years, I realize your position, I have lied to him, but sir jee please do not tell him. ''Our problem was accentuated further. Suddenly a flash of courage went through my spine. I told Tehsildar to go to sleep in peace and also assured the GM not to worry. At 4 am next morning, I had to hear harsh words, but I told the deputy commissioner that oranges were not available in July and only seasonal fruit was beneficial. However my sermons earned me and the Tehsildar lukewarm annual confidential reports.

IAS probationers

As no IAS officer is keen to join at director level, probably that's why DoPT has now sent 185 IAS probationers of 2013 batch as Assistant Secretary for 3 months actual experience in central secretariat in various ministries for grassroot level exposure first time in past 65 years of IAS history. Thanks to PMO.

No IAS officer for Director in GoI

'No IAS for Director in GoI' wic 5.10.15: Out of 45 officers on DOPTs offer list for Directors, no IAS has applied, as on 5.10.15. (http://persmin.gov.in/offerlist/offerlist.asp). If an IAS has not served as Director in GoI, he should not be considered eligible for JS, AS and Secretary posts. Why officers of non-IAS services are not considered for JS and above Posts? PMs directive to DOPT to empanel officers of all 27 non-IAS organised services as JS by 31.12.2015 shall go a long way in crushing the monopoly of one British service created during Indian slavery.

No benevolence of govt.

Yes. Col. Gupta is right. I got excellent employment after I left the SSc. I got it by my own merit and not because of any benevolence from the government. But what about the lakhs of Jawans and others in the non-officer category who were sent out from the army at their prime age and subsist working as low paid watchmen and even as Rikshaw pullers. I would have appreciated their employment was made a prime demand by the leaders of OROP agitation.

Is MES more imp than the DGMO ?

Head of MES is E-in-C, a Lt. Gen. who is the technical head of 70 Nos Engineer Regiments also. How can a civilian be made the head? Sky is not going to fall if E-in-C post remains vacant. Is MES more important than DGMO? Civilian MES officers mislead people by such comments. (Incidently I had 3 tenures in MES in senior positions)
