Corrupt officials over 55 years to be shown doors ?
Corrupt Government officials, specially those who are above 55 years of age, are to be shown the doors in near future. The GoI is reportedly preparing a list of such officers .

Inquiry agencies too are being watched !
Beware, Inquiry agencies too are being watched these days so that they may not be able to misuse their position. Say for example Bank officials are under watch of IT personnel and they are said to be under the watch of CBI and so on. And some one is also watching CBI from the PMO.

Abh kyaa...
Now what next' is on everyone's mind!!
Next how will Modi put Black Money holdings in a bind!!
Targeting overseas Kaala Dhan could be the next one!!!
Nationalizing overseas Indian assets could be done!!
There are other ways but this is the best!!
Much more effective than the rest!
Then would love to hear what a certain Party would say!!
In Public openly this step can they even flay!!
Maybe it'll be said it's the invisible hand that supported our Economy!!
Especially when matters got stormy!!
Or the proverbial Haathi ke Teeth!!
Clap in Public and privately swear and seethe!!
Gold too would be on Modi's 'To do list'!!
May add a new twist!!!
Some way to make Indians take out their gold!!!!
Especially the Gold that is 'holed'!!!
But then if you weigh the pros and cons!!!
It'll be more 'productive' to attack the Overseas 'tonnes'!!!
Of course by now Money held overseas has spread out!!!
Via Nationalizing the spread will also be sorted out!!
And targeting Gold would bring a lot of pain to even the Middle Class!!!
Whereas Nationalizing would mean targeting 'the very Khaas'!!
For the Nation it'll be Windfall ka Papa!
And Deficit would no longer be a siyaapa (acute problem)!!
PC says if he was ordered to Demonitize he'd resign!!
For this step what reasons would he assign!!
He expects Jaitley to have done what imaginarily woh karta!
Is he saying mein Sonia say nahi darta!!
Because if Sonia ordered take Demonitisation step! !
Now even in his wildest dreams this order he'd sidestep!!
Chalo by the looks of it he won't get another chance!!
To become India's Minister of Finance!!
Aur abh toh bechaara Literary Fests mein speech dehta hai!!
Kitni beizatti sehtha hai!!
On Demonitisation for Muslims Congress wants an exemption!!
Muslims save only in cash is someone's invention!
Muslims do not bank so they keep holdings in cash!!
At home their money they stash!!
Which means Muslims do not Bank!!
Arre yeh toh sirif aur sirif ek Kapil ka ho saktha hai prank!!
Not the hassi-mazaak waala but the Law waala!
Jinn ki kehte hai ek Swami fertaa hai maala!
Confucius says .... When the going gets tough!!
To get out of a corner people start to invent stuff!!

All that glitters in not Gold - cleaning INDIA
Government should come up with the revised Policy for Gold as individuals have invested above one lakh crore only in purchasing gold (from 500/1000) price ranging from Thirty five to Fifty five lack per kilogram.
If a civil - political person has to declare the Gold & Land assets, than every PAN holder MUST also compile its assets information specially the Gold every year in the ITR. Cutting the corners the Government should restrict only Indian Trade Marked Gold will be treated as the yellow metal which can be kept in lockers & other than that (Swiss TM etc.) has no value in this country. Take it out & sell outside county if you have the guts. Let's see once more huge gatherings at the Gold trader shops for exchange or devaluation.

Relaxing some conditions
There has been wholehearted support from the people to the demonetisation, and most people have welcomed it. However one has to ensure, that the patience of the people do not wear out, especially since the opposition and most media are out to thwart it and instigate them.
So , while monitoring the situation, government may for the time being consider relaxing some conditions, on a small scale to start with, so that some respite is there for low wage people, in a limited way, for limited period. Subsequently some income tax reduction could be considered at the lower end of income spectrum. This would substantially go to reward the people for their patience, and they will continue to support the govt wholeheartedly, in whatever policy decisions are taken subsequently.

Majority needs to be educated about plastic money
While majority of Indians specially the poor, the honest and the young are hailing Prime Minister's move to demonetise Rs. 500 and Rs 1000 notes, the stories of suffering one is coming across is heart-rending. A large section of citizens do not have bank accounts and so no source to get new notes now when the window for exchange is closed. Small establishments and manufacturing units are not hiring workers for want of cash. Migrant labour has packed up their bags and moving back to their homes as they are not being paid adding to the number of the unemployed in this country. If the move was intended, besides the fight against corruption and black-money, to make the country a cashless society it is premature to do so as barring the youth, crores of Indians being not literates are yet not ready to use plastic money or the other modes of payment. Even the literate elderly are fumbling with such efforts. One hopes that once the new currency comes into the market in adequate number and cash transactions are normalised the current pain of demonetisation will end for the common man and they will see better days and a better society

Smart Cities amidst ghettoes?
Where have all the Smart Cities of India gone? Jaipur, Mysore, Bangalore and many other such cities have lost their true identity of genuinely smart cities, Delhi is going to develop a smart city and DDA (Delhi Development Authority) is going to be restructured on the basis of a report prepared by the National Productivity Council. It sounds like buying second hand machinery for manufacturing latest version of mobile phones in the country. Most of DDA flats look like ghettoes, ugly looking and shaking structurally. Delhi in 1970 and 1980 developed some of the most inspiring colonies, aesthetically constructed by land owners. Many of them have lost that ambience due to ugly structures surrounding them- DDA flats, roads, bridges, flyovers etc. The national investment in that development has gone waste. Delhi is growing on all sides unregulated. Nobody seems to have any dream of the kind of Delhi to be developed. Nobody dreams of how Delhi should look like after 50 years. Delhi needs to think beyond DDA. DDA is just incapable of dreaming that big. What is disheartening is that even in 2016 end we are thinking only of "restructuring" DDA instead of completely replacing such inefficient structures and doing it on the basis of a report of the NPC, which is not known to be the best town & country planning body. Delhi should be the best model for preserving existing smart cities and developing new ones.
