OFF THE RECORD review on some of todays headlines….
1. 10th STD results yesterday
193 students getting 100% marks in SSC. Is it a joke? I mean, in our days and till recently, to score full marks in any Language subject was next to impossible. I recollect the highest in any language would be around 85 to 95 out of 100. The reason was simple. Every language has Grammar, and no one means no one can be grammatically correct in an 100 marks language paper. Hence, I don’t encourage this marking. As it is said those who have got 97%, 3% has been added due to their contributions in arts, culture & sports…Now , just to embarrass our board, can I just meet these 193 students & whichever language they have scored 100, can I just appoint 3 judges and ask them to judge their fluency in both speaking & writing? Also, those who have secured a distinction or even an 85%, my God which is a great thing, must be feeling so low. By the way friends, those whose children or know-how have secured a low %, don’t be demotivated in life. Just tell them 10th Std, 12th Std & Graduation results are bonuses and purely out of luck. The best test of life is after graduation, and as for me I had secured ONLY 75% in my SSC and still living a dream life…
2. आपण भारतीय प्रेम करण्याच्या बाबतीत तसे खूप भावुक आहोत, केलेले प्रेम एखादा प्रियकर किंवा प्रेयसी सहजासहजी विसरू शकत नाही. तू नही तो और सही, हे परदेशात चालते, आपल्या देशात नाही कारण आजही अगदी सहजासहजी भारतीय पोरगी एखाद्याच्या सहजासहजी प्रेमात पडत नाही त्यामुळे येथे प्रेमाचे महत्व वेगळे आहे, ग्रामीण भागात तर हा प्रकार अधिक कठीण आहे, तेथे चुकून रस्त्याने जाताना एखादी पोरगी गावातल्या तरुणाकडे बघून साधी हसली तरी आजही गावभर टवाळकी होते. विशेष म्हणजे ग्रामीण कुटुंबे तर इतके संशयी आणि रुढीला चिटकून आहेत कि घरात नव्याने येणाऱ्या वधूला मधुचंद्राच्या राती नवऱ्याकडून तपासून बघितल्या जाते कि माल कोरा आहे किंवा नाही, स्वतः मात्र असे संशयी तरुण शंभर रांडांकडे विवाहापूर्वी जाऊन आलेले असतात..पुढे वाचण्यासाठी कृपया खालील लिंकवर दाबावे…

3. MAT stay on senior officers ‘abrupt’ transfer to Nashik
Today Times of India has given this story on abrupt transfer of GS Ahankari who was the Deputy Director in the DGIPR. But the journalist who has given the story has conveniently stayed away from the facts & OFF THE RECORD information, in spite of his & mine source remaining the same. It is so, that Ahankari’s wife is suffering from a terminal disease. For this, every week, Ahankari has to take his wife to Pune’s Mangeshkar hospital; plus Ahankari is ageing towards retirement. Now, as per a GR, when an state employee of any cadre is nearing retirement, he should be given postings where suitable to him, not as per wishes & whims of the HODs. Ahankari was given Nashik as his posting, from Mumbai. It was not possible for him to travel from Nashik to Pune for treatment and hence he knocked on to the doors of MAT, where he has won. Ahankari is not in the good books of the Director, DGIPR who in turn is controlling DGIPR instead of IPS Brijesh Singh, the DG. As per what information I possess, the Director (another one is shifted to Aurangabad-but he has still not taken charge) is creating a mayhem in the department. How I miss IAS Manisha Mhaiskar or a Shraddha Belsare-Kharkar or a Prahlad Jadhav in this department? These people had everything in control. There existed to fights between DLO’s & PRO’s and DGIPR was a much better than…सध्या माकडाच्या हातात कोलीत आहे…
4. Chitra Wagh to gift PM & FM sanitary pads.
A unique way adopted by the State Women President Chitra Wagh of the NCP to announce displeasure over Sanitary napkins being NOT included under the GST by the Government….. Chitra ji, you should have taken Sachin Tendulkar with you…or even an Akshay Kumar for your work to be done…The day when Sachin Tendulkar met the PM, I was sure that “selfish” Sachin will surely talk about his movie to be saved from the tax net, and not about ANY issue related to him being an MP. Akshay Kumar the same…heard they are considering him for a Rajya Sabha seat on Vinod Khanna’s ticket…But after a long time, I liked this stance of NCP..They have picked up a valid issue..now they should continue the fight..When a movie can get tax benefits, why the most important subject of Sanitary Napkin be left alone…Chitra ji we are with you..
