enema everyday..
M: It's a medicine they give from the backside ...makes you poo poo
immediately ..
Napoleon: Boss why don't they give him the smoke medicine orally that
Bahadur takes when he goes to the loo..
M: Oye Bahadur how many times I've told you ...quit this habit of smoking

Laudable suggestion to end corruption
The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High court judge's suggestion to the
citizens not to pay taxes if the government is unable to control corruption
has evoked criticism and appreciation as well. Judges are also human
beings and, thus, victims of this malady off and on, so the anguish
has been manifested in the judicial proceedings in a 385 crores corruption
case every citizen is a share -holder and part of the social contract
under which he is governed. I once asked my honest to the core Tehsildar
colleague as to how he was managing the expenses of political and bureaucrat
VIPs during their frequent visits as I was fully aware that both the
categories seldom paid their boarding and lodging expenses. He told
me that he instructed his registration clerk and the city patwari to
share the unlawful expenses. To me this was also corruption if you prompt
your subordinates to collect and expend money unlawfully, rather than
stopping them. However except for occasional genius officers, corruption
rules the roost, in all spheres of life. Some years back almost the
entire country veered round the issue of Lokpal as a panacea for its
remedy, but see where has the issue gone. Nobody has ever come with
the definite answer as to how to eradicate corruption. The suggestion
of the Judge is convincing enough as only mass movement can do the job.
The corruption is worldwide phenomenon as said by the late Indira Gandhi.
As far back as 1621 Francis Bacon ,Lord Chancellor of England, scientist
, philospher and essayist having global repute was tried for 23 counts
of bribery. Warren Hastings ,the Governor General of East India company
was impeached for corruption in the mid 1780s.However English rulers
like William Bentinck, from the years 1828-35,abolished Sati, female
infanticide. He suppressed Thugs (hereditary robbers) from central and
northern India. Even Warren Hastings had exterminated sanyasi bandits,
who kidnapped children. Why no ruler in free India has taken any drastic
step to end corruption or other equally lethal evils, when the foreign
rulers took stringent action to control law-breakers? What restrains
PM from being so diffident in eradicating corruption? The Judges' call
is legitimate and laudable and the only way to go ahead, in spite of
its being considered extraneous in the current legal case.

Plight of a historical City
I am writing this in sear pain about a district- called Mehrauli in
South Delhi. This is a place established by brave king Prithaviraj Chouhan
called 'Mihirawali' as a town or city called by Historians. You all
will be surprised to know that it is established in Aaravali range and
has mainly four entrance points that too are exist points also at present-Aadheria
More, Jain Temple Road(Dada Bari), Kishangrah road & main road through
Qutab Minar side which extremely congested. In last ten years, unauthorized
construction & Land grabbing, destroyed forest area and Heritage
buildings like other places in Delhi, which has occurred due to Land
& Builder Mafia's with connivance of authorities. Lots of unauthorized
colonies have been established by encroaching in Forest Area & Monument
Area which has made Mehrauli over-crowded. This might be first town
of Medival India, having rich cultural heritage in name of Qutab Minar,
Mazar Kaki,Yogmaya Mandir, Gurudawara, Jain Temple & Church also.
There is a festival by name "Phoolwaloon ki shair" depicting
our plural society & secular ethos as a Nation since Medieval time.
Today, this is to bring out an incident of yesterday, as we all know
Winter brings lots of Marriage ceremonies in the vicinity, there is
a Civic work undertaken by Delhi Jal Board to re-lay the Civic pipeline
few days back from Aandheria More side, Main Road of Mehrauli up to
Qutab Minar. All Commuters/Residents of Mehrauli are suffering due to
closure of this Main road. Nobody can enter in Mehrauli because all
small & congested entries are packed because everyone is taking
these route or passages. Last night, the suffering time was of three
hours for anyone to enter Mehrauli or reach home. Situation was such
that even Walkers could not walk through to reach their home. It is
pathetic. Delhi Jal Board has undertaken this work of Civic re-laying
without preempting any consequences of Public distress- without Public
Opinion/RWA,-MLA, Municipal representative & Police have not taken
care of Resident, - In Mehrauli lots of Wholesaler, Traders, Subji Mandi
& small, medium shopkeepers of every nature exists and everyone
has encroached the Main Road to that extend that only one vehicle can
cross and even at some point, it is impossible to cross. Nobody is listening
misery of Mehrauli Resident. Nothing is happening in this area to improve
this heritage place of Ancient/Medieval significance's. There are so
many Public facilities/amenities lacking in this area but why this Civic
pipeline re-laying work has started by Delhi Jal Board having reasons:
To spread land grabbing activity behind the scene.
To systematically destroy all monuments behind the scene & grab
adjacent land.
To grab forest land as well as DDA land behind the scene.
If you right now visit to this place, you can easily imagine/assess,
how systematically Mafia's with connivance of authorities have destroyed
this place of great importance. There are so many things to write, not
now, but we request Urban Development Minister, Govt. of India, DDA
Authorities & Delhi Police to immediately take action & save
this Historical Place and provide some relief to the Residents. We are
not requesting the State Govt, which is already dead for us, no use,
they are deaf & dump.

Action taken on sexual harassment complaint
Copy of enquiry report and action taken report on appellant's
complaint pertaining to sexual harassment to his wife at work
place was sought. The respondent informed that the information
sought could not be provided under the provisions of Section 8(1)(h)
of the RTI Act as the disclosure of information at that point
of time would impede the process of investigation. Subsequently,
the SBI informed that an inquiry by the Internal Committee constituted
under Sexual Harassment Committee was conducted and the Committee's
report and the findings of the Committee had already been communicated
to the wife of the appellant. They further added that as per Section
16 of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition
and Redressal) Act, 2013 the contents of the complaint made, the
identity and addresses of the aggrieved woman, respondent and
witnesses, any information relating to conciliation and inquiry
proceedings, recommendations of the Internal Committee or the
Local Committee and the action taken by the employer or the District
Officer under the provisions of this Act, shall not be communicated
to the public and media in any manner. Further, the appellant
has no locus standi to file complaint on behalf of his wife. The
CIC accepted the submissions of the respondents. However, the
PIO was directed to pass a speaking order on appellant's RTI application.
Comments
In the cases of sexual harassment, the Supreme Court guidelines
issued under the Vishakha case have to be followed. The CIC has
preferred not to issue a notice to the third party under section
11 and has upheld the denial of information.
