Some New Year Resolutions ....
Pranab Da : Say no to Ma'am,
And now from 4 books at one go I'll cram*!!
If Parliament continues to be in a jam!
I'll have to have a strong word with Ma'am !

Modi: Kaam karoonga aur karwaoonga,
Karwaane ke liye extra mile bhi jaaoonga,
With achievers Chai pe Charcha laaoonga!!
And of course na khaane doonga na khaoonga!

Jaitley: Health will come top most!
Will counter Kejri's every charge and boast!
On a slow fire Kejri I'll roast!
Yes realized Media mein there is no 'Dost'!

Sonia: No kaam!
For voting for BJP India has to pay the daam!
Desh ko karr doongi jaam!
Indhira hai merri sassoo ka naam!

Rahul: Having fun is my birthright!!
Lock bedroom so that Ma does not come in to cry at night!
When I go overseas will go left and tweet right!
Will watch Chotta Bheem only at night!

Kejri: Will target BJP day and night!
Will enforce ...what I say is right!
They say I only bark well now I'll bite!
And use Fair and Lovely to make my complexion white!

Laloo: Underground rahooga!
Waha se joh karwaana hai kahoonga!
Imaandari nahi sahoonga!
Khaane doonga aur dubaa ke khaoonga!

Raghuram: If interest rates have to fall!
Then on NPAs will take a stringent call!

Jama Masjid dee galliyan wich tikke botti khawaaaga,
Boski di Salawar Kameez pawaaga,
India toh Saugaatha leh ke wapas aawanga!

Ordinary Indian... Daal khaoonga less!
Will not create even a little mess!
Will not take but give Netas stress!
Pray everyday...India ko ...God... Bhagwan ..Khuda ...karro bless!!!

* Pranab Da reads two books simultaneously. ....like he reads for some time from one book then puts it down and starts reading from other book..

No suitable person for Chairman of CBSE !

It is strange that Min.of HRD has not been able to find a suitable person for appointment as Chairman of CBSE for more than a year. Probably certain vested interested. Persons are delaying it so that the earlier Chairman could come back after completing his cooling period!!! PMO should not allow this and make the appointment soon.

Buying of two cars

The Odd-Even formula has been launched with a lot of expectations. However, after a few months, some critics opine that as the cost of small cars is affordable through bank loans, people may go in for an additional car choosing the desired Odd/Even number so that they can travel by car everyday. This means this is surely going to add to the traffic woes. I am not sure whether AAP Govt. did take this aspect into consideration.

Sivakumar

Outburst is surprising

Radhikai's outburst against me for my ruminations (yes ruminations they were) on odd-even formula is rather surprising. I did not criticise the policy. I would support any action which will improve Delhi air quality. I only predicted that it may not succeed in its mission since it is only an half-hearted attempt with so many exempted and then 57 lakhs two-wheelers which spew the maximum smoke allowed to run. Then many people finding a way, like duplicate number plates, to cheat to bypass it. We will know the result when the 15day trial is over. I shall be the happiest person if it is successful in reducing pollution. First day coverage is not the key. Incidentally today while coming to Noida I noticed quite a few odd number cars zooming past and not a soul to check.

Commendable remarks

I must commend the remarks on Chairman Biodiversity Authority. MoEF has been converted into a Mafia style administration. The previous secretary was the member of the selection committee who selected himself and two gullible Ministers recommended his name. With the help of Jayanthi Natrajan he eased out the previous chairman of the authority a renowned scientists to get the cosy post retirement sinecure. He destroyed the harmony between different wings and even today the best IFS officers are being persecuted by the IAS lobby. PM Modi should take over this Ministry if his Paris deal is to succeed and rid this Ministry of power brokers.

Singh K P

Jugglery was made

Apros to the comments, the appointment in MoEF is case to case basis and as per the convenient of MoEF. Earlier because then Secretary, MoEF wants to be Chairman, therefore all jugglery was made. MoEF is the ministry where any thing can happened to favour an individual. Recently ICFRE MoEF has appointed APPCF from Maharasthra cadre on CF post, it means pay more and get less work done. Likewise there are many appointments in ICFRE where senior IFS officials have been posted on junior posts resulting in to heavy financial loss. I feel whisper should highlights such appointment to reduce the government burden. Therefore the post of Chairman Biodiversity is being kept vacant to provide benefit to some In-charge officer. Similarly, the post of Chairman CPCB is also kept vacant, as a result officer in-charge is enjoying the privilege.

Kejriwal - a quick learner !

Arvind Kejriwal has been very quick to learn the ropes of what he perceives to be politics. He has shown that he can hold his own and more in the cesspool of politics. Indeed, he might even be relishing the cesspool. But politics does not boil down only to demagoguery, name calling, allegations and counter allegations, pretence, churlishness and hypocrisy. These are the tools of the trade of those practitioners of politics against whom Arvind Kejriwal professed to struggle in his early days.
Politics is only a means to public service. The race to become Prime Minister cannot be the sole end of politics.
