Kaal - A short story

A man dies and goes to heaven....he says to Lord Almighty.....you never gave any notice that i was going to die so i didnt prepare or pray .

God said so I did....first I weakened your eyesight...you got specks...now operation to get your eyesight corrected.

Then I made your hair go white to remind you...you dyed your hair.

Then I made your legs shaky....you ate multivitamins.

Then I made your teeth fall...you got a denture made forgetting that all these were reminders...

The man was speechless.

IMD Plans To Offer Weather Updates On Mobile Phones

The India Meteorological Department (IMD), the country s official weather forecaster, plans to offer updates on tem- perature and rainfall and warn- ings about disturbances in weather on mobile phones.
It has invited bids from tele- com companies and service or- ganizations to put the service in place nationwide, assistant di- rector general A.K. Bhatnagar said.

There is a lot of data that is already available on our web- site, but given IMD s mission of invigorating its weather dissem- ination services, this is a key ini- tiative of ours to send out data to a large mass of people, he said.

Some private weather fore- casters, such as Skymet, already offer customized weather analy- sis and predictions on mobile phones, but they rely on data and analyses from foreign weather agencies.

Discom Didn't Buy Tools We Paid For ?


Power consumers in Delhi, who have paid crores of rupees for electricity supply, may not get the kind of service they are expecting. A new audit indicates that the city's largest power supplier may not have installed some of the equipment that it claims to have bought.

Auditors have found that equipment installed at the BSES Rajdhani Power Limited's (BRPL) supply bases do not match details of the machinery the company claims exists on site. For instance, in January, auditors inspected 45 of the company's 990 kilovolt-ampere distribution transformers and found that particulars on none of them matched with what it had submitted for probe.

4,000 e-Ricks To Hit Capital Roads Before Games, Drivers To Be Specially Trained

Rickety rickshaw rides are set to be replaced by a world-class experience the e-rick is on its way to Delhi. Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is introducing new rickshaws a hybrid between an  autorickshaw and cycle-rickshaw that will be fitted with GPS systems.

These will be manned by drivers who will not only speak English but will also be trained to take tourists around the city's popular destinations.

While 10 of these battery-operated, eco-friendly rickshaws will be seen on city roads by next month, MCD hopes to launch 4,000 of these before the Commonwealth Games. Said an MCD official: "We hope to replace all rickshaws plying in the city with the new e-ricks. There are a total of 99,000 licenced rickshaws in Delhi."



 
The e-ricks will have space for two to three people and will work as feeder services for Metro in areas like Vikas Marg, Vishwavidyalaya, Chandni Chowk, etc, besides plying near popular tourist sites.

Colony Gates / MCD

I had attended this meeting in Town Hall Ch.Chowk, as Secretary RAW Pocket-3,Mayur Vihar-1, Mr. O.P. Sehgal President FedrationMayurVihar-1 was also present in this meeting. The Presentation was elaborated by the Ch. Engineer MCD. During open discussion it was pointed out that the norms for the security Gates were too general and shall not fit for every place and every entry-Exit point. The only common point which needs the attention is that :-

1) Gates must be maned round the clock.

2) The Height and width of the Gates must not block the entry of Fire tenders, Ambulance, etc. at the time of emergency during day and night.

3) If entry gate Exit gates are available the above system be strictlyfollowed. One gates should be used at Night from 10.00PM to 6.0 AM for the security of the residents.

4) If only one entry & Exit gate is available opening and closing the gates must have security guards ( minimum 2 round the clock.)

5) If the RAW is following the above norms properly than WHY & HOW RAW should be accountable for any mishaps ?

It is observied that many a times, mostly at nights, some drunk car drivers or Trucks with building matrials or Delivery vans/ trucks of Tent suppliers force their entry late at night from the gate which is closed ! where as the other gate is open ?

BUT these persons are seen fighting and abusing the duty Gaurds to get OPEN the Closed gates only as per their desires ? During marriges, even in nearby place, it has become a show off to park cars in side of the gates at will and open drinking starts ? The Gaurds dare to stop this at the gates!

RAW has NO powers to check this and the Police/MCD is not to be seen there. Who has bell this cat ?

Where are the powers with the RAW to set right such un lawful activities by the residents or out siders ? The only action taken by the RAW is to call Police help, which we all know how fast is this task to get police help ?

Therefore, it is my humble suggestion to the authorities to form watch & Ward commitees from the recomandations of the Residents of that RWA to have the powers to directly co-ordinate with Area Police, MCD, DJB, Power supply etc.officials MLA's or Muncipal Councelors to help the Residents as well as Govt. agencies to have peace, security and proper community services to all.

The best government is that which governs least

The foundation of any governing unit is money which lubricates the state and meet expenditure of salary,repayment of amount due to citizens,anticipates populations explosion and provides for additional required services. The government if fails to collect legitimate dues,whether property tax or amount fixed for erection of towers for mobile phone services.

Such a government shall go on finding ways and means to milk already paying honest citizens. Baffeling as it may be seen, MCD has failed to act against its officers who are willing partner in tax evasion and all type of illegalities.Now it is for citizens like you and me to see through this game of levying more taxes and shirking responsibility of collection. Least governance does not mean NO GOVERNANCE
