I'm at a famous Book Shop located in the Lobby of a Mumbai Five Star Property ....browsing. Know the Owner for years and he comes up to me and we get chatting..
Friend: Good news.. hear a disgruntled Congi is penning a 'tell all' book and it's Preface and Epilogue penned by Beta- Noire of Gandhi Family who is from BJP..
Me: Then I'm sure in nervousness Sonia's eyes must be twitching dime a dozen..
F: If you were to write the Epilogue as a disgruntled but know all Congi what would you write..
M: 'As Mother and Son walked away they turned around to say their bye one last time ... they saw Congis waving and it lifted their spirits as they felt via the waving they were saying.... come back...if only they saw it in slow motion... they were saying go . .go...'
F: Ha ha ha... you really don't like them!!!
M: I don't like what they've done to the Nation ...and their totally hypocritical statements nowadays ....they do shameless appeasement in the name of secularism ...despite all that's available in the Public Domain they talk about honesty and corruption...
F: This Sharadh Yadav fellow seems to be showing his Political standing...
M: What standing he lost his Political roots and had to enter Parliament via Rajya Sabha ...if he had political standing he would have opted for direct election ....fact is if he had political roots he would have held a rally in Bihar and not Delhi ....he claims he's a tall Bihar Leader .... I now call him Shraadh Yadav..
F: I think in Delhi all the special invitees on the stage pooled in 'rally attendance'....
M: I'm sure many Overseas Businessmen staying in the Hotel must be visiting your Bookshop ...you being the chatty kind...must be getting a lot of feedback about India ..
F: They find India a changed place .. ....business environment... confidence ... really impress them.....he said India looking 'crisper'!!
M: Anything about corruption!
F: An American from Dallas...I think his response says it all...."in the past in our price we incorporated a certain percentage for all round greasing ...right from Party to Minister to Top Level and Working Level.. . this time we were forewarned and we did not butter up our price ...if we get the order India would straightaway save 10%.... it's a New India"!!

Will Modi’s dream of eliminating corruption come true ?

DEBATE (1) Corruption
FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION
Corruption is a Mindset which needs the fertile land of inadequate system where the inadequacy is measured in terms of the gap between the aspirations and the opportunities or supply and legitimate demand. Therefore, for the eradication of corruption we need, short-term as well as long-term measures covering our education system, social system, and governance including the judiciary. In most of the schools we neither have any teaching for ethics and moral values neither we have any system of integration of the teaching with the social services and productive engagement.
A system having focus on penalty and not on proper education and training for the reorientation of the young Mind is not likely to have any long lasting impact. Moreover, a system of penalty having its focus on financial penalty is bound to encourage corruption. Can anyone think of imposing financial penalty in a game of football for foul play instead of showing yellow card or red card? If not, then why for a traffic violation we do not have a system of yellow card or red card instead of a system of financial penalty.
For a long and lasting effect, while continuous striving for reducing the gap between the aspirations of the nation and the opportunities available to the nation is necessary, we have to ensure that no case of corruption is left unaddressed. The authorities on the top in every walk of society has to be proactive and any attempt to behave like an ostrich is going to be counterproductive.
The present Modi Government has shown sensitivity in discouraging corruption, but the government has to come out with a blue print covering all other aspects referred above. It remains a fact that the middle and lower level machinery, everywhere, is not sensitive to anti-corruption measures. Visible corruptions at Railway Stations, Hospitals, Police Stations, Traffic Junctions, etc. have most devastating effect on the psyche of the young mind.

DEBATE (2) Corruption
Eradication of corruption from our system is impossible unless (i) execution is improved (ii) accountability is established (iii) responsibility for each Government servant is fixed and defined (iv) Colonial legacy in the system is erased (v) legality must have an edge over illegality. (vi) the rules framed are clearly defined and there should be no exceptions to the rule. These are cancers of our system. Nation building is a collective responsibility and every citizen has to do his bit.

Don’t meddle with surplus land with military/ armed forces
Aropos views on surplus land with military/ armed forces, the suggestion is dangerous and short sighted. The government has been toying with the idea of pawning family jewels - PSU, land with railways, surplus funds with milk rich organisations, etc. To use it for social sector schemes is a bottomless pit. No extent of land will suffice. Land is a limited resource, and cannot be expanded. Today if you take away the surplus land, what will you do tomorrow? The trouble with politicians, government and other policy makers is two fold - one wants immediate / short term gains & benefits, and the other bends backward to get it done. It would be a pity to trim the resources of the armed forces. Leave them alone and keep them at arms distance. Don’t meddle with such ideas. You will leave nothing for the future or future generations.

NITI AYOG'S suggestion to privatize Hospitals will br disastrous
NITI AYOG'S suggestion to privatize the Hospitals run by Railways or Armed Forces will be disastrous. We have seen the functioning of Private Hospital all over the Country. They are basically commercial venture-only motive is to make money.Recent reports of over charging for Stents etc by private Hospital is a testimony to this fact. Railway and Armed Forces Hospitals are doing great job in difficult conditions. Hope Central Government does not succumb to this suggestion of NITI AYOG.

Information relating to the registration of Service Association
Information about the Service Associations/Federations recognized by CBEC and their renewal was sought. With regard to the delay in furnishing the reply, the respondnet informed that consequent upon the announcement of GST and related development concerning restructuring of the department, it was not feasible to furnish the information within the specific time period and apologized for the delay. The CIC observed that a voluntary disclosure of all the information that ought to be displayed in the public domain should be the rule and members of the public who having to seek information should be an exception. The CIC directed that all information relating to the registration of Service Associations, Federations/their Service Rules etc. should be placed in the public domain to facilitate dissemination of information to the public at large.
The suo moto disclosure of all the information in compliance with Section 4 of the RTI Act, 2005 should be made to ensure transparency, objectivity and accountability in the functioning of the Public Authority.
