Doorandesh Sarkaar. ..

Take the 5.32 Fast train and my train Buddies are with me.. today Amar has brought Spicy Vada Pao(s) and chilled Maazas...its hot in Mumbai...

Amar: Mallya gayo...he's not coming back on his own..

Antony : If there was a CBI lookout Notice then how did he get away..

Me: Some misinformation... I think he got info about Banks going to SC for blocking his exit from India... and before SC could pronounce it's Order he vamoosed...I'm doubtful about the CBI Look Out Notice...

Akbar: It's alleged it was like a getaway... in 100 minutes of his booking a ticket he was at the Airport with 11 bags...baggage is an indicator he's going for good..what did he take in 11 bags..

Amar: Two bags for his accessories I am sure... yaar he changes goggles like we change clothes....one bag for his IPL Team and Force 1 togs... 1 Bag for his KF Calendars ....

Antony: By the looks of it seems he and Lalit Modi shared the same Lawyers..

Me: Could be ... but their cases are not the same ... but I do agree upto now he's been a step ahead of the Government. .. Banks... Courts and even CBI..and if you look at his loans and default timeline ...it all took place when UPA was in power...Banks were too cooperative ...I'd say abnormally cooperative..

Amar: Arre why is the Court not taking cognizance of this JNU student Kaniya's rantings... now he says Indian Army rapes Kashmiri women. .

Akbar: But such cases do take place..

Me: Yes ... but it's not as if it's a daily affair. ...more like far and few and then Army takes strict action...

Akbar: So what he's saying is true..

Me: He makes it sound like a regular affair and Army allowing a free run.. which is not the case ...

Akbar: AFSPA must go...

Me: No way it's a preventive measure .... there have been cases of rapes in Hospitals by Ward Boys ... rapes by Cops...do you demand that Ward Boys and Cops be removed ....no as they are needed you demand measures like CCTV... other vigilance measure to tackle this menace..and of course stringent punishment ...

Amar: Arre yesterday Modi ne kamaal karr diya in RS... Congress ki fook nikaal dee...

Antony: Whaa.... mixing fruit juice in Coke and giving tickets to illiterates ..

Me: Ha ha... Coke usually specifies no fruit juice in its Soft Drinks ..but now it's coming out with Fruity Drinks and Government selling them the idea to add some fruit juice ..and if literacy is not important then why not give tickets to illitrates... Modil was talking about success of Literacy model in Haryana and Rajasthan elections ..and Congress's opposition to this model. .

Amar: And I love it when he told Congress...today you are putting everything under microscope. .only if you had used binoculars when you were in power... wah ...

Me: Yup... UPA did not have any foresight then and today no hindsight .... what all its done ....

Ministers not performing

Some of the Ministers in Modi's Government are just not working. They also are least accessible. They have built ivory tower and living in own paradise. They are not aware of mess going on in their Ministry. They are not interested to clean up Congress Mess. They want only Modi should work hard and win elections for them and they will do easy job of becoming Minister again and enjoy life. No initiative, no dynamism, no interest, only complacency and talk, talk and more talk before Media, increase visibility of them selves. It is surprise Rahul bhaiyya and his Congress never criticize such like Ministers.Congress busy attacking Sushma Swaraj because competent Minister, they attack Smriti Irani because she works hard and reading file. They attack Arun Jaitley because he no nonsense person. Most of all biggest attack of all Tom, Dick & Harry is on Prime Minister Modi because Congress afraid of him & want to dirty his image in public eyes. This is only way Congress sees its future. Can Modi clean up 60 years of Congress Mess in 5 years. These sleeping , free loading Ministers in Modi Cabinet seem to be helping the Congress. Modi should change some of these arm chair Ministers who do only one task in whole year and close eyes thereafter and bask in glory of one single achievement. Let the Dead wood be eliminated.

No land of law in MOS&PI

I am fully agreed with the views published in www.whispersinthecorridors.com under the heading of No Land of Law in MOS&PI on 26.02.2016 and 02.03.2016 respectively. Instructions of DOP&T on DPC, Posting of husband and wife at the same station, transfer & Posting of physically handicapped candidates, Framing a Transfer Policy etc are not being followed strictly. There is no time with MOS (IC) look into these lapses and initiate disciplinary action against the Chairman and members of Civil Services Board (CSB).

Phalke awards be doubled

It is gratifying for the Indian cinema lovers that Manoj kumar, who has fired patriotism in the Indian hearts has been made the 47th recipient of the most prestigious Indian film honour. However many outstanding film personalities have not yet found place in this aura of honour. These are Nargis, Sunil Datt, Meena Kumari, Madhubala, Mohammad Rafi,Mukesh, Talat Mahmood, Shamshad Begum, C Ramchandra, Shankar Jaikishan, Guru Dutt, Kidar Sharma, Bimal Roy, Vyjayntimala, Balraj Sahni, Nutan, Chetan Anand, Vijay Anand, Waheeda Rehman and many more. It is incidental that Prithviraj Kappor is the only posthumous recipient so far. All film personalities ,who dedicated their lives to the cinema and made mark in the public minds across the nation must get it despite the fact that many of them are no more. In order that all film personalities, whose contribution to Cinema is recognized world over, get this award even posthumously the number of awards can be increased to two annually. This way the living and the departed get the equal honour and inspiration to excel would be perpetuated.

Elusive governance competence


Union Law Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda on Tuesday said the Centre would not bring the appointments of judges of the Supreme Court and high courts under the ambit of the Right to Information (RTI) Act. He said the revised draft memorandum of procedure to guide appointments of judges to the apex court and the 24 high courts was in its final stage, and it would be sent to the Chief Justice of India soon.

Nobody has so far forgotten the nationwide agitation and movement against the Mandal commission report and the consequent nation-wide violence and destruction of property, about 25 years ago; the Gujjar and Patel reservation movements also brought immense misery for the hapless citizens and shame for the state. The latest to bring shame to the state and immense misery to the people is the jat reservation movement in Haryana.Reservation movements have proved to be potential dynamites to destroy state's supremacy and social fabric. In Haryana ,everything has gone wrong. The state and its instruments could not control the situation and when the army was called in, mysteriously it was not used. In the era of vote bank, moral courage and statesmanship are the casualties. You allow men to vandalize, loot, rob, kill, injure ,disrupt transport and all essential services, yet your demands are met with. If RSS can bow before such lawlessness, then it loses the authority to guide its political wing. The overall Indian governance situation is very grim. Pathankot and Dina Nagar incidents combined with hate speeches indicate that the slogans have replaced action. Haryana epitomizes the low in the governance and moral courage and sagacity of the regime.

It happened during Cong rule also !

Warren Anderson, CEO of Union Carbide, responsible for the Bhopal Gas tragedy was allowed to leave India, though under arrest, during Congress rule. Vijay Mallya has fled the country without repaying his debts and the Congress is attacking the BJP !
