Baabe and Baba ...

A friend from Pune had requested me to get some Documents from JNU for his son. I collect the Documents and the urge for a cup of tea drags me to a Dhaba on the Campus . I order my tea and sit at a table where there are two patrons already gorging on Rajma and Rice. We start chatting..

Me: What's the story behind Najeeb... its become a political issue ...
First Patron: Someone from majority minority ....so AAP and Congress have to make it into an issue !! Aaadat se majboor! !
Second Patron : Even before the investigation facts came out Kejriwal gave his verdict ...brownie points ke liye he's always in a tearing hurry!!
M: I just heard at the JNU Office someone comment that the Cops have found some anti depression medicines in Najeeb's room... depression ka mareej ho saktha hai!!
FP: Yes they'll check up his Medical History...then investigate if he had any personal problems ..family problems and then if he had any political affiliation!!!!
SP: Buss if it's Majority Minority Kejriwal will be first off the block ...arre joke doing the rounds is ...one day his favorite shirt had a burn mark..in a rage he summoned the Dhobi. .. when the Dhobi came angrily he asked the Dhobi his name ..minute Dhobi said Aslam... Kejriwal's tone changed ...he started complimenting the Dhobi about his work ... even offered to raise the rates he charges!!
M: An extension to this joke ...he'd blame BJP ... shout that Aslam outsourced some of his ironing to another Dhobi and this Dhoni had BJP leanings!! This missing student is 39 ....at 39 a student????
FP: We call them Babaas (aged) ... in fact when Professors enter the class if they respect age they should take their permission to enter the class!!
M: And at this age living on the Campus ...
FP: Sir ji apne biwi bachcho ke saath rehthe hai some of the Baabas.. JNU unn ka Office hai!! Rest stay on Campus as they are on the job 24x7!!
M: Office ????? On the job?????
SP: They all have political affiliations ...undertake job work for political parties!!! Are majorly responsible for recruiting students into their Political Parties!!
FP: (whispering) I hear Najeeb had visited the AAP Office some time back...unconfirmed report hai!! Sir ji yeh toh drama chalta rahe ga ..... arre ...ek aur type ka Baba Congress ka President bannane waala hai !!
SP: Ha ha ....doobtho ko punctured tube ka sahaara!!
FP: Some Congi supporters were whining in the class .... all his Gaffes were overlooked till now because Public felt ... Sonia hai na!!! She's in-charge!!
M: Maybe they'll appoint a NAC in Congress ...Sonia .. MMS ... Motilal.... Diggy ...because Rahul toh Rahul rahe ga ....better explained by this illustration .... ( I summon the Waiter and address him) ...if I come here and eat and drink nothing and break the glass of water offered to customers at the start ...what will you tell the Cashier....
Waiter: Khaaya peeya kuch nahi glass thoda aat aana...aat aana humaara Code hai!!
M: Rahul Baba will do nothing constructive ...and in the end he will be the cause for Congress tootna or breaking up!!

Nothing is changing in country

Nothing is changing in the country nor will the IAS hegemony ever go away.Their knowledge is supreme when it comes to having a cut. Most of the first time ministers have to depend on them for this domain knowledge.

Why Department of Electronics is not merged with Telecommunications ?

When the name of Engineering degree is 'Electronics and communication' then why the Department of Electronics not merged with Department of Telecommunications. Instead of creating Min. of Electronics and Communication , we created Min. of Electronics and Information technology ! Never heard any electronics Engineering degree in combination with IT but we have full fledged ministry. Hats off to superb babus!!

Stop selective mud-slinging

I completely disassociate with the remarks that all furniture, PCs and other Government stationery are not returned when a Minister demits office. I wish to remind him that in 1993 there was a Union Minister named Abrar Ahmed from Rajasthan and on the date of demitting office, he returned everything including sofa, chairs, electronic typewriters, curtains, ACs and other items and took a receipt from the Estate Office. Another Minister Janardhan Poojary was also very honest and led a true Gandhian life. Why always blame Politicians. Does not a Personal staff take home all the stationery from Office. Stop selective mud-slinging and character assassination.

Timid governance and powerful pollution

Mask of smog on Delhi is not a new phenomenon but a yearly feature for quite sometime. This year the heightened pollution levels as a consequence has severally affected the health of the people. The result, as usual is not to find out the reasons and solving the serious issue but the total emphasis appears to be on finding a scapegoat and riding on it for safety from criticism and adverse electoral prospects. Will Delhi breathe easy next year ? Will there be no smog next year and no deaths on road next year because of resultant poor visibility? No guarantee. Escapism has been ruling the roost. Before the National Green Tribunal came into existence, the Supreme Court had successfully introduced CNG in automobiles and reduced pollution level. The feeble intervention of the NGT in the Global level event of Sri Sri ji, to save environment degradation in and around Delhi, spelt out the unbridled powers of the politically aligned bigwigs to hold the Indians to ransom, on all issues. UNO reports have since long been cautioning the country to take care of its air and water pollution for the good health of Indians. Question is not only of Delhi, but of the entire country, which has been turning into one atrocious stinking hole, in spite of sky-big programmes like Swachh Bharat of the PM. Does not the Swachh Bharat concept include eradication of all types of pollution, and when India will show any clean area in all its connotations, is beyond anybody's guess and imagination. Public is concerned about it, but it is the duty of the government to guide the public to act in a particular manner and to subject the delinquents to rule book in case of violations and non compliance. Since the ruling classes have successively become above the law ,it has lost moral courage to carry forward any mission which is in the best interests of the citizens. There will be seasonal hue and cry and media stories and everything will be forgotten thereafter. Governance is failing and so the public in its duties at all levels.
