MY NEW BLOG

http://myindianewfreepowerful.blogspot.com/

i was thinking about always blaming politicians, government and goevernment authorities whenever something is wrong or some scam or corruption is publicised.
The fact that concerned person is one from us , one sent by us to that position....so wahtever he does is a representation of our attitude!!!

it is easy to blame others and be happy....but i want to see another approach in such instances and i have blogged down my thoughts!!

have a look and i would be happy to know your opinion!

THE BUCKET LIST

yesterday night i watched this movie, which is about two terminally ill patients,who are from different classes of society(corporate billionaire and car mechanic) admitted in the same hospital room for cancer.
They decide to do certain things in a list and get away from the hospital.Though many will feel that the movie is slow, i enjoyed this movie a lot and is worth watching once.
if i explain the storyline here then there will not be any fun in watching the movie.....so i just want to say that if you are alone and want to see a movie you must try this!!!

How To Get Work Done Without Bribe

Practical guide to get your work done without paying any bribe

Government babus (officials) use different tactics to extract bribe. You may take the following action to counter those tactics. These are very simple & useful. I have tried them with very successful results.

(1) Indefinite Delay: They keep on delaying your work until you go to them & offer bribe.

Solution: Don' t visit government offices. Follow up your pending work by letters. You may send letters by courier, registered post or speed post. Local speed post costs only Rs 12/-. Local couriers are available at Rs 5/-. You may also use RTI Act to know status of your work. In this case you need to spend another Rs 10/-.

(2) Demanding unnecessary papers: Sometimes they demand unnecessary papers & give hints that work can be done without those papers if you bribe.

Solution: If they can offer to do your work without additional papers with bribe, it means that those papers were definitely unnecessary. (i) Ask babus to demand those papers in writing and record the conversation. (ii) Write a letter stating that you demanded these papers. Are they really mandatory as per law? You can also use RTI Act here. (iii) Use RTI Act to find out whether he demanded those papers from other applicants. (iv) Whatever paper he demands, send by post. Never deliver anything without receipt.

Remember no officer will complete your work without mandatory papers. He will keep his file perfectly clean.

(3) They advise you to pay bribe so that you pay less tax / penalties. Many times they demand higher amount for penalties than prescribed under laws.

Solution: (1) Check laws if you can (2) Record conversation & tell them that you are going to report to Anti-Corruption Bureau. (3) Use RTI Act to find out how much was paid by others under similar circumstances.

(4) When the babu is not available in office.

Solution: Write a letter that I came to your office on say, 1st August at 11 AM but you were not available. Your assistant Mr. Rama Rao told me to come again on 5th August. This letter will make him take special care of your work.

(5) If nothing works, try this.

When you don' t have any option, record the conversation, pay money & get your work done. After your work is completed, meet that babu and demand your money back. Tell him that you are going to complaint, if he does not return your money. Tell him about Jago party. Take some Jago pamphlet or advertisement copy with you. This will most likely make him return your money.

(6) Develop habits of complaining.

Whenever you see crime & corruption, send written complaints to head of that department, ACB / CBI, local newspapers & Jago Party.

(7) Don' t be submissive.

Call babus by their names. Don' t call them "sir". Be polite but don' t show unnecessary respect. Be firm and confident. Talk about RTI Act & Jago party. Babus are always afraid of knowledgeable people.

These methods may sound unbelievable but try it at least once to discover their power.

Remember: Smallest action is much better than the noblest intentions.


Power Of Written Communication
In dealing with government officials, \"written communication\" is very important. Instead of complaining or discussing, simply give your complaint in writing.


For example:

(1) When your work is delayed beyond a reasonable period, send a reminder to senior officer by registered post / courier.

(2) When they demand extra papers, send it by post. In your covering letter do mention that \'you wanted this paper\'.

(3) If you visit a government office & concerned person is not available, send a letter saying,\' I visited your office on this day & time and you were not available\'.

(4) Always lodge complaints in writing & send to district/ state head of that department. Your arguments do not carry any weight, but your written complaints certainly do.

As most of their demands are not supported by laws, once they are forced to commit anything on paper, they will stop harassing you and your work will be done very fast without any bribe.

ACHTUNG students

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Two-TN-medical-colleges-did-demand-capitation-fee-CBI/articleshow/6107652.cms

NEW DELHI: CBI has confirmed the expose by Times Now-TOI in May 2009 and said there was a clear involvement of Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute (RMCRI) as well as Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research (BIHER), both in Tamil Nadu, in demanding capitation fee for admission to MBBS course.

CBI has also made it clear that officials of the two institutes were not seeking capitation fee in their personal capacity but there was clear involvement of the two deemed-to-be universities.

Strangely, though the CBI demanded withdrawal of deemed-to-be university status of both the institutes, the report submitted in Novembar 2009 has been lying with the HRD ministry for the past seven months without any action.

In case of RMCRI, CBI has said that A Subramanian, deputy registrar (academic), associated with the institute for more than two decades, demanded capitation fee on behalf of the institute. CBI said the institute did not lodge any complaint against him with the local police nor took any harsh action for his misconduct. Times Now had shown Subramanian demanding the capitation fee.

During the probe, CBI analysed the common entrance test of RMCRI and found that question papers for the medical entrance test were being prepared by C Satish, principal of DAV School, Chennai, for many years. But the real shocker is that Satish has a Ph.D in commerce. The institute's office-bearers, including its chairman, failed to explain the engagement of Satish for setting up of question papers for years continuously, CBI said.

In addition, the answer sheets along with question papers of the common entrance test of previous years were not provided during the course of inquiry on the pretext that they have been destroyed as per university resolution, the agency said in its report.

The CBI also found that the common entrance test of Shri Ramachandra deemed-to-be university was being managed by one or two office-bearers who owed allegiance to the chairman of the university. No independent committee had been set up to maintain the standards of entrance test, CBI said.

In case of BIHER, CBI has named TA Johnson, supervisor (maintenance) and V Lakshmi, deputy warden, Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, as the persons demanding capitation fee on behalf of the institute.

The CBI found that there is no system in place for the publication of the list of successful candidates in the common entrance test. After analyzing its common entrance test, CBI said it raised doubts about its transparency and fairness. The university failed to provide the names of the resource persons engaged for setting the question papers for the common entrance test, the agency said. Like in the case of RMCRI, one or two persons owing allegiance to the chairman of the university were conducting the test in BIHER. Even BIHER could not provide the answer sheets of the common entrance test of previous years.

CBI also says that it examined the chairpersons and members of the UGC and MCI-appointed committees set up to probe the matter and they also said that the money was demanded for the institute and not for personal benefit.

SOLVE PROBLEMS IN AMERICA




This Would Work:

This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday.
The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"

I think this guy hit the nail on the head !!

Dear Mr.President,
Patriotic retirement:
There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force;
pay them $1 million a piece severance with
stipulations:

1) They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
3) They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage- Housing Crisis fixed.
All this and it's still cheaper than the "bailout".
