This is History (513)
Ungrateful people complain about the one thing you have'nt done for
them instead of being thankful for the thousands of things you have
done for them.
2017 to be worst year for print-media ?
It is widely believed that 2017 is going to be worst year for print
media since independence.
Next government in Rajasthan ?
Who will form the next government in Rajasthan ? The general feeling
is that atleast in Rajasthan, Congress is going to form the next government.
Who can counter Modi ?
There is not a single person in the country of 125 crore population
as on date who can counter Narendra Modi. Infact since Independence,
there has been only one person, Late Sanjay Gandhi, who could have taken
decisions as bold as Modi's.
Wrong Politics ...
I take the 5.13 Fast to Andheri from Churchgate...for my Train Buddies...Amar,
Akbar and Antony....it's my turn to bring the treats and today it's...Vada
Pao and Mango beverage...
Amar: What is the Opposition's Protest of the Day...
Me: E Ahmed's demise ...the family say proper medical attention was
not given ...they were not allowed to see him in the ICU ..Opposition
as usual smells something fishy .....
Akbar: Kuch toh gadh-badh hai...
M: If it's something to do with Medical negligence then how is Government
to blame ..usually when the Patient is very critical Family Members
are not allowed to meet the Patient ...and we know if the Patient's
heart is beating the Doctors will keep the Patient alive on Life Support
...in Ahmed's case it's said after Medical Intervention he had a heart
beat...
Akbar: Its being said this matter has got something to do with presentation
of Budget ..
Amar: I get your drift ..Budget was scheduled to be presented some time
back on the Order of the President .. .there is no precedence of a Budget
bring postponed on the demise of an MP...and then there was an Obituary
for Ahmed before presentation of the Budget ...and next day was declared
as a Holiday for Parliament....
Antony: There should be an Inquiry ..
Me: This is Politics of the worst kind .... People Of Little Interest
Towards India's Concerns Insensitive and Noisy....
Amar: Mota Bhai you are copying Rahul ...I really laughed at Rahul's
acronym of Scam....your acronym for Politics is bang-on...
M:For Congresss the suitable acronym for Scam is ..Serious Corruption
And Manipulation...
Antony: Rahul was responding to Modi's jibe ..
Amar: He could have used some intelligent way ...what am I saying ..
Anbar: You are underestimating Rahul ...he is a lambi race ka Ghoda..
Amar: You are a fan of Rahul ...so I don't want to hurt your feelings
..in your analogy you've used the wrong animal ..
Akbar: His Jadoo is going to work in UP...
Me: If he was a Magician as you claim he is then why did he take SP's
sahaara... he tried to be the Big Bro in the initial Press Conference
...but Akhilesh has put him in his place..
Amar: This is just a UP centric Alliance and if it doesn't work in UP
it's over ...Akhilesh has made this clear ...
Akbar: And now Mulayam has agreed to canvass for this Alliance ..
Amar: So you feel UP ki Public are moorakhs that they will forget what's
taken place during SP rule ...then the spat drama between Father and
Son ..if you ask me SP in trying to fight anti incumbency has just added
UPA's Anti Incumbency ...which has a protracted shelf life.
M: Akbar do Muslims believe in Ravan ..
Akbar: No way ...and if a Muslim accepts Ravan in Public rest assured
there will be a Fatwa and he will be ostracized.. by accepting Ravan
the Muslim would be accepting Ram....
M: Azam Khan has compared Modi with Ravan ...so he's accepted Ravan
in Public ...
Akbar: Nahi... nahi...anyway we will talk about this later ..Bandra
is coming and I have to get off...
Amar: Miya ji bhaagne waale ko bhaagne ka bahaana chaahiye...

DEBATE
How do you see the two most powerful leaders of
the World - Donald Trump and Narendra Modi ?
Some people see Donald Trump as Narendra Modi
of the USA. Like Modi in 2014, they say, Trump touched the raw nerve
of the US citizens in 2016 to win a decisive victory.
If Modi, with his magnetic electoral campaign,
won an absolute majority for his party for the first time in 2014, Trump
also staged a spectacular campaign to win the top job for himself.
How do you (surfers of whispersinthecorridors.com)
see the two most powerful leaders of the World ?

Modi & Trump - Another similarity in both is that both of them are
not being allowed to work their way. Congress is not letting Modi work,
and Judiciary not letting Trump go his own way!

DEBATE (2)
Both are egoistic. They always try to make their own image.

Narendra Modi is a nationalist while Trump is a capitalist that too

"Pakistan's bleak future"
Pakistan, in times to come, must be ready to pay a huge price for its
so-called friendship with China to whom a part of POK has already been
ceded by Pakistan. Reasons :
(a) Gwadar port is part of the ambitious China Pakistan Economic Corridor
(CPEC) project for which massive loan has been granted by China. Repayment
of debt will start from this fiscal. How will Pakistan fulfil the liability
with its massive fiscal deficit.
(b)There is a huge concentration of Chinese at Gwadar port in Baluchistan.
Its motive is to have full control on the port, once in operation. A
security concern for India. China has refused to engage Pakistani locals
on the project. Lack of employment generation is bound to lead to racial
clashes between the locals and the Chinese.
(c) China has already barred entry of Pakistani labourers into China's
main land as it is suspicious of Pakistani immigrants inciting trouble
in the Muslim majority province Xinjiang, which is already in turmoil.
Lack of mutual trust. Recall, how China banned Ramzaan before Eid for
its Muslims. Strangely, not a single voice of protest was raised by
the Muslims across the world including Indian Muslims.
India has every reason to feel concerned about the future of Pakistani
citizens and the impending dangers that await them from the treacherous
and untrustworthy China. These concerns must be addressed by PM Modi
and his NSA.. India is on the cusp of becoming a super power. An unstable
Pakistan will have serious security implications on India. A weak Pakistan
suits China alone.

THINK TANK
1. For Development of underdeveloped countries like Panama, Mauritius
etc UNO bring them under Tax Heaven incentive category by providing
Tax Relief and easy way of doing business by many incentives.
2. We come under Penalty and High Tax category as a nation.
Problems for people already in Business and Problems for those also
who wants to come and establish business . Therefore process is slow
as no body is interested .Only Other Government can show interest as
they have to show their countrymen that something great is going on.
3. Government admits for negative reaction with slow Growth.

Focus on big offenders will be lost ?
Government has so much enlarged the ambit of data analytics that the
focus on big offenders will be lost.

DATE WITH RTI

Filing of RTI Application to know the fate of earlier application
An application was under the RTI Act seeking information regarding
action taken on an earlier RTI application and first appeal filed
by the Complainant. A reply was sent to him on but the Complainant
stated that he did not receive this reply. The Respondents volunteered
to send another copy to him. While noting that no further action
is due on this RTI application, the CIC observed that the right
course of action for an RTI applicant, in the event of the PIO
not responding to his RTI application, is to file an appeal to
the First Appellate Authority and thereafter, if necessary, an
appeal / complaint to the Commission. Instead, the Complainant
took upon himself to enquire into the delay on the part of the
Respondents in responding to his earlier RTI application by filing
yet another RTI application. Filing of such applications is avoidable
because the RTI Act provides for appeals / complaint process in
the event of unsatisfactory action by Respondents on an RTI application.
Such applications needlessly clog the system.
Comments
RTI act is a self contained act which provides for the mechanism
to deal with cases where replies have not been received. An applicant
should use the modalities provided under the Act which can provide
him the best results.
