Who is the joke on
I'm still in Shimla and today my Respected Friend and yours truly meet
on the Ridge ...and we sit on a bench which has a fantabulous view ...and
over Desi Espresso Coffee and Chocolate biscuits we get chatting ..
Me: Now Rahul says Modi has been changing decisions on the Demonitisation
like he changes clothes..
Respected Friend : That's a grossly subjective view...now an objective
one...see there was no precedence of Demonetization on this scale ...
then secrecy was paramount because had even a whiff come out ...and
mind you Blackeeyas info is A Class and they react immediately ..you
would not have found a single 100 Rupee note in circulation ...so planning
was impossible ...so I think the decision makers decided ...let's go
ahead with Demonetization. ..what we will do is keep our ears to the
ground and modify accordingly ...
M: Jee ..zorr ka jhatka dheere se lagge. ..I think the Public realises
the Government has reacted very fast to their Demonetization woes....
RF: Yes ...but one Caveat ...seems in some cases the Orders were misconstrued.
.like there will be no questions asked ...this was when you Deposit
the Notes ...subsequent Investigation was not waived ...then the recent
one ...submit reason for late Deposit....which Bank was supposed to
take ....actually this was required if there were multi deposits henceforward.
..just a ploy to reduce the last minute rush....
M: I wonder ...does Rahul analyse the advice he gets ...does not seem
so...why one Congi on the condition of anonymity told me ...he gets
a slip at the last moment and he blurts out whatever is on the slip
..
RF: Yes my perception is his eye is not on the ball ...seems he's a
distracted and preoccupied Politician ...
M: I hear Sidhu met Rahul.... why the hell is it being billed as a earthquake
kind of meeting ..
RF: If I can be brutally frank ...the National Maskara (Stand up Comedian
) met the National joke ...
M: I think AAP and Congress think that Punjabis are fixated on humor
..that's why both Parties using Jokers!!
M: They will soon realize behind the humorous facade of Punjabis is
a Voter who is very aware .. and imagine Kejriwal has already declared
if Congress wins Sidhu will be the CM ..not Amrinder ..
RF: Ha ..ha ...then Punjab will not be known for Agriculture ...but
Maskara- culture ...
M: Just got a News Alert on my Mobile ... EC has delisted 200 Political
Parties...
RF: Yes it was a very lucrative business .....and I'm sure a lot of
conversion has been done by these dummy Political Parties ...
M: So Sir shall we move to the Mall...but first today's joke..
RF: Sidhu : Guru.. Rahul Baba ne Kutte ke biscuit mujhe nahi khilaaye,
Aadha packet inno ne Doggy ko diya baaki biscuit packet se meinne khaaye....Thokko
thaali....
We have a good laugh and walk down to the Mall..

Demonetization Effects - Major cut down on House hold expenses
The successful implementation of currency demonetization have majorly
benefited the house-hold weekly expense with a cut down to 40% on Food
bills, Now Peoples are looking for more savings from Electricity bills
(using LED) , Petrol & government Taxes. Added advantage will be
Reliance's Jio ; a revolution which will make a lot of difference for
users (work from anywhere/anytime). Educating and grooming a child is
one of the big house-hold expense today in India, should be considered
free of cost till high secondary.

Grievance of a railway pass holder
A retired Master Craftsman claimed that despite being eligible
for first class pass, the Railways had not been honouring several
clauses related to the journey performed by a pass holder. He
sought Information regarding rules relating to privilege passes
issued to railway employees. The Commission observed that under
the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005, only such information as
is available and existing and held by the public authority or
is under control of the public authority can be provided. The
PIO is not supposed to create information that is not a part of
the record. He is also not required to interpret information or
furnish replies to hypothetical questions. Similarly, redressal
of grievance, reasons for non-compliance of rules /contesting
the actions of the respondent public authority are outside the
purview of the Act. Further, the CIC observed that the appeal
relates to the grievance of the retired employee regarding utilization
of railway passes and lack of awareness and sensitization of the
work force dealing with such matters. This aspect needs to be
re-examined by the competent authority to provide relief and succour
to the affected retired employees in an objective and transparent
manner.
Comments
Even though the redressal of grievance is outside the purview
of the RTI Act, it has been frequently used to obtain some relief.
The Information Commission has been sympathetic to injustice metered
through a system which is not objective or opaque.
