बिहार सरकार की वरिष्ठ IAS अधिकारी वंदना प्रेयशी ने आजकल UPSC पास करने वाले कैंडिडेट का स्वागत समारोह देखकर आश्चर्य हो रही हैं!
Bandana Preyashi@BandanaPreyashi

I now see photos of garlanding, public felicitations, roadshows of candidates who have cleared Civil Services Examination. During our time being happy was enough!

Nice to see this tribute to Ravi today. A self-taught composer, he gave songs that defined their genre and rescued likes of BR Chopra (Gumrah) & Guru Dutt (Chaudhvin Ka Chand) with superlative music at a low point in their career. Was probably too modest to get due recognition.

The great Nari Contractor is 92 today. I remember compering an enchanting evening with him & Ted Dexter at the Eden Gardens a few years ago. Nari was recounting the tale of the Charlie Griffith bouncer in the West Indies that nearly killed him and how his life was saved by the team manager Ghulam Ahmed, who called in the local surgeon just in time when Nari was vomiting blood in a a bucket. Years later, when Nari had a fantastic domestic season and was on the verge of India selection again, Ghulam was the chairman of selectors. One evening, Ghulam came and met Nari and told him that he was certainly good enough to play for India again, but he would not pick him, because he could not bear the possibility of another life threatening injury to his dearest friend. When I asked Nari how he felt about that, he shrugged and said that it was difficult to argue with a man who had saved his life. Another time, another age... Incidentally, the Cricket Association of Bengal still hold an annual blood donation camp in the memory of Sir Frank Worrell, the opposing captain who was one of the first to donate blood to Nari Contractor!

Bedridden woman killed, ailing son injured by dog. And some activist-types shout themselves hoarse insisting that dogs attack humans only when they feel threatened.

The ignoramus me first heard of #ZubeenGarg when he was dead. I keep hearing this on loop. A heart-stirringly evocative lyrics (see translation) bound in a magical composition & sung in a voice as esctatic as melancholic. All work of one man! Genius. youtu.be/uWltRhafzn0?si…

@nistula @gm_madras Even in this small clip, his qualities shine through. His weekly piece in BS was a must read; sharp, analytical, well-researched, sober and often not judgmental.

Ask a serious question about the very future of media as we know it. Then, before the answer could be said, talk about clothes. Salvage by returning to the original question. And Ninan delivers the crux: invest in journalism to ensure that it lives and thrives.

Whatever one's views on a book, chapter or paragraph, this is a weird and untenable judicial order. It needs to be recalled.
ANI@ANI

The Supreme Court has directed the Centre and all State governments along with all institutions receiving public funds, either partially or fully, to dissociate the chairperson of NCERT social science curriculum, Professor Michel Denino and his two other associate members who were behind the Sub-chapter in part 2 of the Class 8 NCERT Social Science textbook 'Corruption in the Judiciary', in any manner for the purpose of preparation of curriculum or finalisation of text book for the next generation. A bench led by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant also directed all of the aforesaid authorities to disassociate Professor Denino, along with his team, from the preparation and inclusion of the Chapter, from rendering any service in any institution, which would mean payment to them from public funds. “At the outset we have no reason to doubt that professor Michel Danino along with Ms Diwakar and Mr Alok Prasanna Kumar either does not reasonable knowledge about Indian judiciary or they deliberately knowingly misrepresented the facts in order to project a negative image of Indian judiciary before students of Class 8 who are at an impressionable age. There is no reason as to why such persons be associated in any manner with preparation of curriculum or finalisation of text book for the next generation. We direct union, all states, all institutions recieving state funds, to disassociate them from rendering any service which would mean payment to them from public funds”, the Court noted.

Thought you imbibed everything on Bihar? Think again. Writer argues BJP, which is in minority in Lok Sabha, may have preempted Nitish Kumar as allies like him draw support from Muslims who are unhappy over the Centre's stand on Iran. An analysis worth 1000s sirens on Aaj Tak.

Spot on, General Sahab! We ourselves create these 'mai-baap' babus by garlanding them like gods from day one. Then we complain when the arrogance kicks in. The hero-worship needs to stop — celebrate the achievement, not crown them lords. Well said! @SoldierNationF1 @MBureaucrats
Maj Gen Raju Chauhan, VSM (veteran)🇮🇳@SoldierNationF1

That’s a UPSC successful candidate being garlanded like a politician and he acting like one. Yes he has worked hard to clear a tough competition but it’s citizens who start treating them like Lords from day one and then crib about their arrogance later.
