It seems that people who are posting here these days, are those apparently who lost patronisation, so liberally dished out by upa to the corrupt. So they cannot see difference between NDA and UPA. Well if you believe in democracy, NDA is on a winning streak even after 3 years in office! Let the lootyens looters, presstitutes and now disgruntled officers say anything! In fact they have ceased to matter, now that people have seen through their game, of catching at straws! Long live NDA

Desire for change has to come from within
We appreciate your efforts and concern. This habit is not going to change. The desire to change has to come from within. What Modi has planned is not going to succeed and soon this would be forgotten. There is no provision of Trash disposal and since India has a huge population we require many and that too they should be emptied out frequently. Wherever they are, they are overflowing and trash is spilling outside. In the USA it is clean is because of the trash boxes are available everywhere, outside Restaurants,public buildings, institutions. It is mandatory to have them without which no permit to occupy the building is given. India is a hot country where people took more liquid to quench the thirst and hence need to urinate is more and hence more urinals are to be provided. I have not seen urinals for miles together in the urban areas

Empty vessels make much more noise. This goes well with our current government. We will bring the fuel cost down, USD down and bring peace in the valley etc.etc. Each of the statements have so far proved to be nothing but a big hollow stuff. What promisses have been kept ? No difference between the NDA and the UPA.

Promoting entrepreneurship
The Narendra Modi government has made a lot of promises for entrepreneurs in India, but how many of them have really helped the startup sector is a question that begs an answer. Whatever the answer, a general consensus is that it is the first government that has paid more than a nodding acknowledgment to entrepreneurship. After all, it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi who announced a slew of programmes to promote entrepreneurship in the country.

This confirms weakness of DoP&T in collusion with offenders. What is the problem in displaying details of defaulters in public domain. If not successful, CBI raids will give instant results.

Will Swatchh Bharat dream ever become a reality ?
I am scared after knowing how Ravinder Kumar the e-rikshaw driver was killed when he objected to two men urinating in public rather than using the toilet. I can call myself an activist for swatch Bharat Abhiyan. Actually much before our Prime minister took up the broom three years ago to inaugurate this abhiyan, I have been doing my little bit in picking up garbage, putting it in the dust bin, reprimanding people who throw about their kachra in the public park or urinate against the wall even when the public conveniences are a short distance away. The karm bhumi of my activism is Lodhi Gardens where I take my daily walk. As I live in Noida, my timings for walk are not the popular morning evening rush hour. I come to India International centre for my day long activity and these days walk around 4 p.m(Winter time 11a.m in the sun).In winter on holidays particularly picnickers throng the park and one has to see to believe how lawns are ravaged by the muck they throw-the empty water bottles the paper plates and what not. Children from schools are also sometimes brought for picnics. They also do the same while teachers are oblivious to it. Once I was horrified to see one park made so filthy by our little uniformed friends as they threw their chips wrappers ice-cream cups water bottles around. This is when dustbins are close by. I went up to the teachers who were sitting in a circle and eating food and told them to teach the children to throw these into the dust bin. They ignored my plea and remained busy with their samosa and gulabjamun. I was angry and as i was about to blow up, two little children came up and said, "sorry ma'm we will not do it again 'Then come up and let us pick it up I exhorted .All the children joined me and we cleared the muck in no time. My parting shot to the teachers was "learn something from your students". But always the experience is not so good. As for urination this dirty national habit is awful. Even in Lodi Gardenswith nice public conveniences in the four corners i often find men urinating against the boundary wall when the toilet is not even 50 metre away. Once I remonstrated with a man for this and his answer was "aap ko kya taklif hai" How could I make him understand that this is a public place and he has no right to make it dirty. Noida where I live, you can spot any time of the day urinating against the wall going whether along the road , in front of a school or close to the market. The stink at places is unbearable. Unless hefty fines are imposed and offenders caught and taken to task these habits would not go away nor the Swatchh Bharat dream will become a reality.

One who has approved should also be responsible as the Coal Ministry officials have been held responsible.

How long should it take to get copyright?
How long should it take to get copyright, trade mark or patent in India? The pace at which applications for grant of trade related intellectual property rights or Intellectual Property Rights are presently processed in India, it will take the country no less than a century to join the club of the super powers. To realize dreams like make in India, start UP, ease of doing business and enforcement of contracts, a lot remains to be done even after accelerated governance under Modi. Getting a copyright takes years! Writers waiting for getting copyright certificate for their work for more than a week in this digital age are unacceptable. Minister commerce & Industry should improve the working of the Copyrights as well as Trade Marks office and ensure prompt delivery of service.

Take due precautions in life and work
Of late, there have been many instances of officers indulging in risky behaviour. Some drink and engage in behaviour which turns out to be risky. Some indulge in rash driving. Some are always in a hurry and rush from meeting to meeting between places where they are stationed and headquarters which results in lack of proper sleep for themselves or their drivers resulting in grave consequences, especially if they travel very early in the morning or late at night. Everyone should understand that they are only human. Their position in society or their power is not going to avert accidents. Avoid hurry, worry, curry, alcohol. Stick to a routine life. Exercise, get proper sleep. Take due precautions in life and work.
