A Roadmap for the CBI

It is a timely suggestion by a former CBI Director contained under the above caption is certainly a thought provoking article dealing with the present condition of the Agency, its credibility currently in the eyes of the commander man, it's competency vis-a-vis it's dishonesty in handling sensitive cases pending for long, it's inadequate jurisdiction in starting an investigation on its own leading to prosecution, it's requisite expansion in terms of adequate as well as own staff in the near future etc. (by R.K.Raghavan, The Hindu December 5, 2016)

The present incumbent in the post of Director, whoever he or she may be, will have to be honest to the core financially and impartial to the hilt in decision making despite political and bureaucratic  pressures. Only then the Agency would be worth its salt. A perfect understanding between the Prime Minister and the Director in its day to day functioning would certainly lead to its ultimate utility in Indian democracy!

Leaders (politicians) are made in India but great leaders are born elsewhere!

Cuba honours Castro's wishes, passes law to ban naming of places after the leader.

Hats off to such heroes on this planet. Now there wouldn't be any place named after Fidel Castro or any other leader in that country. What an initiative in the right direction! 

On the contrary in India the politicians are keen to name a few places, roads and other public assts after their names and statues erected in their own lifetime!! We the citizens of this country expect Modi Government to pass a similar law sooner or later.

Sarkari India

"To further its own well-being, the government is forever in an expansionist mode, launching a variety of schemes, be it Jan Dhan or Swachh Bharat, which will create more and more jobs for itself. And ensure that the government of the Sarkar, by the Sarkar and for the Sarkar does not perish from this earth" - Jug Suraiya (TOI dated December 28, 2016)

One should agree with the above observation with no reservation or doubt because most of the government budgets are spent on the government establishment itself with less funds left for development of the country.

Salvation lies in reducing the government force by nearly half by 2030, if the governments have guts and will power.

One can rebuild ageing muscles

Marcas Bamman, a professor of integrative biology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has found in his studies that men and women in their 60s and 70s who began supervised weight training developed muscles that were as large and strong as those of your average 40-year old!

Skeletal muscles are composed of various types of fibres. If one doesn't exercise and follow sedentary work style he is bound to lose 30 to 40 percent fibres in their muscles by the time he reaches 55.

So better be clever and ensure regular exercise and keep the muscles in tact to reduce the  ageing process.
