The principles of Machiavelli governed the intrigues of the Court. Akbar's clemency and toleration and good government were things of the past. Affairs were heading for trouble.

Rajasthan cadre IAS officer announces embracing Islam for not being made Chief Secretary
A senior most IAS officer of 1978 batch, Umrao Salodia has announced to embrace Islam christening his name as Umrao Khan after the Government of Rajasthan did not elevate him as Chief Secretary of the State and queered his pitch by giving an extension of three months to incumbent C S Rajan of the same batch. Salodia, who is presently Chairman, Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, has accused the State Government of discriminating him and sought VRS before his scheduled retirement.

Aap Ka Saath , Mera Vikas
The agitations within AAP Govt in Delhi Government are not limited to the shenanigans of the favourite IITian, and hence the strident attack on the Central Government. But to add insult to injury, by pure luck, the CBI has, allegedly, picked up some files in which there is palpable evidence of a senior functionary having dipped his hands in the Honey POT. The spate of advertisements in the National and Delhi centric dailies running into hundreds of crores point to pay off ---. Sadly the National media having tasted the Heavenly Manna, is too obligated to really be the crusader.
AAP KA SAATH, MERA VIKAAS

Chat with Chef Amrinder..
Outside a well known Glorified Dhaba on the highway there is a banner ...translated from Punjabi....... Today you can boast to your relatives and friends that a Maharaja cooked for you ...blend of hunger and inquisitiveness I go in...and the Maharaja is Amrinder Singh ...in a Chef's Apron ...overseeing the cooking...

Me: Bad days ....

Amrinder: Ha ...ha ....cooking is a passion with me .....

M: Or is this one of your political stunts. ...meaning ...now you will try to win over Food fixated Punjabis via their tummies....

A: Hmmmm.... think of it ....I can be easily won over by food with some wine ...and good company ...

M: You already tried one stunt of swearing over the Holy Book Sikhs do their daily prayers from ....seems to have flopped ...to many looked like a desperate attempt ...Sikhs do not do such things ...

A: With me everything is Patiala Peg style ..big.... so are my mistakes ...on hindsight ...should have been avoided ...actually.. <whispering> now amongst my advisors I have been saddled with some of Rahul's guys ...this was their idea..

M: Speaking of Rahul... how were you able to bridge your gap with him...

A: Jaffi maari or hugged him ... I have a bear hug...told him will not let go till he changes his mind about me ....

M: That alone could not have made him change his mind ....what time did you meet him....

A: 10 AM...

M: But you bathe at noon time ..at 10 AM you would not even have brushed your teeth.. ahaa....so the secret is bear type hug with the right special effects ....

A: (winking)...Had not bathed the previous day ...because we met on Monday ...and on Sabath I give bathing a rest ...yaar all this talk has given me a craving for my Chooza Doh Pyaaza...

M: AAP seems very hopeful.......

A: I'm least bit worried .... Kejriwal is in self destruct mode .... in next 6 months I expect him to trip very badly ...

M: But he's Sonia's invention ...so she'll pick him up....

A: A secret .... the other day I met two from her Pantry Cabinet ... and when I took Kejriwal's name they crinkled their noses and gave a ..bitter medicine look... being a Maharaja I have a Doctorate in Palace Intrigues ...Sonia has her doubts about Kejri now...

M: Pantry Cabinet .....

A: Kitchen Cabinet ...only her kids ...Pantry Cabinet her advisors ...all this talk has given me a craving for Baingan Patialwi....

M: Now this question you can choose to ignore ....last time you were CM... Punjab was agog with your ...ahem...lov.....

A: No problems ...I will answer ....have you read about my Grandpa ..... many say I'm a disgrace ...

M: But this time your Opponents are needling Sonia to ask you to give a written promise that you will not embarrass Congress with your .....ahem....

A: Oye ....if she asks me I will give her a list of Congress Leaders and their ...ahem...as you very tactfully put it.... yaar all this talk has given me a craving for Lahori Raan....

M: What about Akalis???

A: What about them ... yes Badals are very crafty and Badal Jr., has a talent to micro manage elections ....but I think this time Badal Sr has realized I will be the next CM...

M: How did you get this feeling ...

A: Badal Sr met me and addressed me as CM Sahib....

M: Ha ha ....and you feel this was a pointer. ...Badal Sr has a terrific sense of humor ...when he meets Bajwa I'm sure he addresses him the same ....ditto for Bhattal and Mann... in fact a retired old time DGP was getting active in politics and when Badal Sr met him he addressed him as Jathedar....he was pulling your leg.... all this talk has given me a craving for Makki (corn) di Roti and Sarson ka Saagh...

A: Careful once you cross 50 difficult to digest ...

M: Samajhne waale noo isshara kaafi hondaa hai... I understood reason for your cravings for Chooza Doh Piyaaza... Baingan Patialvi...

Post of Chairman National Biodiversity Authority vacant
The post of Chairman National Biodiversity Authority is lying vacant for the past 2 years and interviews were held eight months ago but in eight months m.o.e.f did not find time to appoint Chairman of apex body looking after biodiversity conservation. It's office is at Chennai but it is run from Delhi with the result that NBA is loosing 10000 crore of rupees every year and due to lack of direction from chairman NBA who is makeshift arrangement, state sbbs are loosing approximately 25000 crore of rupees every year. Will PMO look into this issue as it is very much related to climate change.
Central govt issued order that appointment should be done with in 6 months of advertisement of post, but in this case 8 months have passed after interview by committee appointed by PMO. Does this pattern of working will do any good to India's development, this seems that PM has lost control of ministers and PMO and they are not afraid of delay.
Will PMO take up this issue as a test case as who are responsible for this inordinate delay. This will turn out to be biggest scam because we are loosing revenue worth 35000 crore every year since the promulgation of the biodiversity act 2002 . In NDA govt there was some hope to implement this act as this was passed by NDA govt at center in 2002. Congress did sleep on this act causing loss of revenue of 35000 crore every year since 2002.

Controlling pollution in the city
Nobody is taking serious note of one suggestion for controlling pollution in the city of Delhi i.e. misuse of officials vehicles by the Bureaucrats, Ministers, Senior Company Executives and their family members. Almost all the Secretaries to GOI are using two vehicles at the cost of exchequer. This is no secret. The other officials are mulching the public sector undertakings and other offices. There are a number of officials, who apart from taking Transportation Allowance along with their salary are using official vehicle or mulching PSUs. This is criminal. The biggest blacksheeps in this regard are the Personal Staff of Ministers. The Department of Expenditure have indicated in response to an RTI Applications that as the Union Ministers are allowed for usage of 600 litres of petrol every quarter of the year that means they are entitled for only one car. There is a massive mis-use of vehicles in the Defence Forces by the personal and their family members. If the companies reduce their burden of transportation expenditure, the national will get more tax.
In response to an RTI application it came to the notice that huge expenditure was being incurred by the Rural Electrification Corporation for providing Vehicles and Stationary items to the Officials of the Ministry of Power and their family members. This was brought to the notice of the then PS (now CS), who issued instructions but things are now back to square one.
If my suggestion above is seriously implemented the nation will not only controlling pollution but also conserving energy resources and expenditure.
In any case, based on the above practice, a party is planning to become party to the pollution case pending in High Court by impeding itself.
