Air India -Who shattered the dream of Modi and Jaitley ?

Normally PM Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley  stand by their decision, but in the case of Air India both have bitterly failed to  fulfill their commitment.

Imaginary Chat

I'm at my favorite Cafe enjoying my Cuppa. Seated at the adjacent table is a young Man who looks extremely Digitally connected... 3 Mobile Phones and a Tab are on the table and he keeps in touch with all 4. He sees my amused look and says..

Young Man: Job demands it.... (looks around and  whispers) I work for Congress IT Cell...

Me: Very tough job ...I guess..

YM: Very demanding... RG keeps us on our toes...

M: You mean Rahul... but I felt you guys keep making him looking as if he's always 'on the ball'!!!

YM: He exudes Energy ....when he visits us ....its electrifying ...

M: Is Pidhi with him .....

YM: Very often......

M: Did Pidhi go on RaGa's so claimed Yatra ...

YM: Sorry since yesterday this issue is OB (Out of Bounds) for us...

M: Has to be .... yesterday your RaGa really embarassed Congis..... during a Rally..... Public wanted to know some highlights of his Kailash Mansarovar Yatra... and all RaGa could very nervously say..'Joh Kailash... woh Parbhat hai...huh...joh Mansarovar hai'..... arre had he gone he'd have said something...

YG: RG is a very private person.....

M: Joke maara... I think Scindia who was on Stage ...looked mortified.....here see the picture... I think Scindia was worried RaGa would ask...Greater Kailash 1 ya Greater Kailash 2.... kiss ke baare bataoo.....

YM: (looks around and Whispers) Rumour in the Office...RG got shaakshaat darshan of Shiv ji...and Shiv ji was happy with him...

M: Baloney....I'm  sure excuses  being conjured up by your Boss DS ( Divya) to save RaGa from embarrassment...

YM: There's a glow on RG's face!

M: Could have got a facial in Bangkok... because now the question being asked is...if he did not go to Kailash Mansarovar where did he go from Kathmandu...now his next gaffe.... 4 times he's spoken about the loans he claims NDA has written off of 10 Industrialists...1.30 lac crores... then 1.40 lac crores.... then 1. 50 lac crores...

YM: Everytime he may have incorporated the rising interest component ....

M: Wah ... what an excuse.... in a day goes up by 10,000 crores....what's the interest rate.....90% per anum!!!!

YM: Have you seen the Vidoe Clip my Boss DS has tweeted... in the clip Modi clearly tells the interviewer he's studied only up to High School...

M: And she's got multitude of responses  ... attaching the un-edited Video... in which Modi ji clearly says.... later on pressure from his Peers in Sangh he did his BA as an External Student....I think such hit jobs could make your Boss loose her job...

YM: What..... do you know something I don't  know.... please... please elaborate..

M: I hear all the fake stuff she's  tweeted has got quite a number of Senior Congis rankled....their grouse is...they have to answer...

YM: But she has RG's ear.... God... why am I telling you all this... hope you  are not recording  this.... where's your Mobile..

M: Stop being so paranoid....any Organization where Chamchagiri is endemic ..... paranoia is also endemic and its level is equal to the Chamchagiri level...

YM: You are too dangerous to talk to... I'm out of here.

Babus Find Politics More Vibrant To Serve The People
 
By Sanjay Sharma
 
Much has been said from time to time on the merits and demerits of bureaucrats joining politics. It has also been debated for long whether there should be a ‘cooling off’ period for a civil servant before he enters politics after quitting or even after retirement.
 
While difference of opinion over these issues can never be ruled out, there could be no two opinions that, theoretically bureaucrats are most eligible and efficient persons for becoming politicians as they are well acquainted with ground realities - necessary for policy formation.
 
Having worked at various stages - at district level as collectors, at state level in secretariat and , in majority cases, at various positions in central government, they are supposed to be well versed with the ‘process of policy implementation’ - a boon to serve the nation  in their stint as a politician and as a minister in government in particular,.
 
But since the officers rarely have the freedom to work as they please, and are mostly employed in service of politicians and not the State, many of them  - eyeing politics as a vibrant medium of serving the nation - join it.
 
There is a long list of former bureaucrats, police officers, diplomats, technocrats, academics and army officers who are into politics.
 
They include familiar names like General VK Singh, Kiran Bedi, Ms. Meira Kumar, Hardeep Puri, RK Singh, Sanjiv Tripathi, Mani Shankar Aiyar, N K Singh, Satyapal Singh, Bhagirath Prasad, Yashwant Sinha, Ajit Jogi, Nagabhairava Jayaprakash Narayan, Alphons Kannanthanam, Jesudasu Seelam, J Sundara Sekhar, Arvind Kejriwal, PL Punia and the list goes on.........
