What people say about us!
I'm a regular follower of whispers in the corridor. Its updates are
very useful. If whispers in the corridors also includes various vacancies
in central and various state governments on deputations on regular basis,
the same will add on to it .

R: Why not jogging. .. cycling .... why Yoga???
Me: It's an ancient Indian way of staying healthy ...discipline ...
and naturopathy...your Great Grand Pa practiced Yoga and your Grand
Ma's friend ..philosopher and guide was a Yoga exponent.... or maybe
your dislike for Yoga is because of this!!
R: Exercising is a Private thing.....
Me: So then why do you go to gyms .... you go for long runs....
R: We are members of the gym .... its not as if anyone can walk in and
see me exercising !! And I am a citizen of India I can run anywhere
I want to!!
Me: Well humanity is the biggest Club.... Global Village .... this privacy
humbug is just because you guys never thought of such things .....and
if you guys would have done something like this ... would have ended
up as a scam!! And we are citizens of India so why can't we practice
Yoga wherever we want to!!
R: Don't be a bitch ....do not forget MMS who headed UPA is a man whose
second name is honesty!!
Me: And today poor fellow's so said honesty has lead to a new analogy
of word honest ... dishonest honest ...one who does not object to dishonesty
and who gives clean chits to the dishonest! !
R: What he did in the privacy of PMO.....
Me: Oye ..... think ...think.... before you blab.... apart from his
family life and his pee pee and poo poo ... nothing that PM does is
private ... and if his family life and pee pee and poo poo affect his
being PM then these too become public!
R: Make me PM and I will show you guys what private PM means!!
Me: That is what India fears and wants to keep you away from becoming
PM..
R: Baloney.... did you see how Nation celebrated my birthday ....
Me: Mr. Private aren't birthdays private ..... and it was not Nation
but some Congis who do it ... every year we see them feeding your pic
cake !!!
R: That is their love ....
Me: Just like the milk fed to idols goes waste... you recall the stunt
when they said some idols drank milk ... so does the cake!! By the way
what is this rumor that long time back you faced problems at a US Airport
... I hear The Hindu even reported it here !!
R: Baloney .... it was something to do with my baggage .... it was resolved
.... you travel... you too must have faced problems ...Airport staff
is so damn rude with private or ordinary people !!
Me: That is not what reports say.... but I see you are do uncomfortable
so I will not press for an answer. ... its not the type of weather to
break into a sweat.
R: Please leave me alone .... I want to enjoy my privacy ...

DEBATE (1)
It depends on the bureaucrat. I have served consecutively three governments
in Madhya Pradesh. I was happy in each government , because I was doing
my job, whichever government comes I was following the rule of law.
G S Mathur DGP (Retd)
Empanelment criteria
PM of this country is lucky that the political cadres do not have eligibility
criteria for serving at centre. Otherwise he would have been disqualified
for serving at centre as he has not done any tenure before and served
only the State. Why the Bureaucracy of this conutry is then suffering
from this artificial eligibility criteria for empanelment as Secretary
/ Addl Secretary at centre? If a politician can serve at centre at the
top post without ever having served at centre then why only bureaucrats
should be differentiated on this ground? Any answers?
Mahadev
Eligibility criteria
The eligibility criteria for selection of chairman & directors made
by PESB is meant for some influential. it is just like old wine in new
bottle. Govt should change this criteria and invite more honest, sincere
and qualified genuine candidates even in the scale of 53,000 to 73,000
with 32 years experience including minimum 5 years experience in production
units. scrap the PESB committee. maintain a national integrity in maharani
PSU's.

OROP is not a commitment
OROP is not a commitment. It is a legal matter. There is right to equality
in the constitution. If Defence Personnel, who have not fought a war
since 1971, get it then the civilians are also entitled. Defence people
get free ration, house and other facilities. MES is the most corrupt
orgnization of the country.

No end to greed
Why one you will find 1+1 +1 many more ? No end to greed
R K Nagpal
Wrong choice
It is not understood as to why the CBDT chairperson should be holding
additional charge as Member(investigation)? Does the department not
have other competent persons with integrity? Such a state of affairs
will naturally lead to speculation and discredit the department.
It is also noticed that the person who was till now the Advisor on
Black Money has become CVC and about whom fingers are being pointed.
The critical revenue department of Government of India must have a clean
image with no scope for questions.
Manu Ashar
Manmohan Singh and Modi
It happens in each & every case after boss leaves . It is true that
Dr Manmohan could not keep check on activities on his flock & there
were power centers including Most Talked Power Centers hence the mess.
Sensational accusations titled Lalit Gate ( favours by Sushmaji-Vasundhra
Raje Ji ) & Pankaja Munde reported allegation of scam are giving
bad name to the present Govt Just completed 1 year only. Narender Bhai
Modi Ji need to be care full so that his clean image does not get hit.

DATE WITH RTI
|

|
The Appellant had a marital dispute with his wife, who worked
in the bank as an officer. He had been filing a number of RTI
applications, repeatedly seeking information on various issues
related to the said bank officer. The Appellant sought the copies
of educational certificates of the bank officer claiming that
the qualification of his wife has been mentioned as B.Sc, while
she did not study science beyond class 10. The PIO denied the
same under section 8 (1) (j) of the RTI Act claiming that it was
personal information. The CIC referred to the observation of the
Apex Court in the Central Board of Secondary Education & Anr.
Vs. Aditya Bandopadhyay & Ors."
if on the
request of the employer or official superior or the head of a
department, an employee furnishes his personal details and information,
to be retained in confidence, the employer, the official superior
or departmental head is expected to hold such personal information
in confidence as a fiduciary, to be made use of or disclosed only
if the employee's conduct or acts are found to be prejudicial
to the employer."The CIC upheld the rejection of request
for information.
Comments
Many government officials face applications seeking their details
of loans taken, marital status, PAN number, income tax details,
copies of form 16, details of movable and immovable assets and
details of gifts etc. Such harassment of honest officials is not
the objective of the RTI Act.
