Till 1950 , the suberban Delhi and sub official delhi was a Town -ship of CYCLES , CAMELs, and Tonga . The real capital was limited to India Gate ,Prsident- House, Rajpath , Jan path, Cannaugt place to Raisina range only. Now the city started growing with Cancerous spread and Real- Estate Business tellng on the demands of iving and Life style.
So delhi , the capital of Free India expanded every way and out-skirt villages started Vanishing .And from a township of clerks and officials Delhi became a city of Businessmen and Builders,
Demands of competative living changed the moral and ethical values and principles of Govt head , neck , shoulder - downwards . Every one needed more money for survival and standard plus 'show'.
The 'new wave' set in by 1960--70s. For any business you needed space , licence and Police support. Transport- Vehicles changed shapes from Phatphatia to scooters to cars.
For renewal of Licecences, those who learned better techs saved time. At connaught place smart people scratched their for-head with a 20 0r fifty rupee note facing the counter and like butterfly serving peons came out to save their valuavle time and saved an hour while we were stil waiting in the que beyound the hour.
At higher level of Land, export-import, hotel - licecnce etec you get an appoinmment with secretary level or PA to minister and when you meet scratch your head meaning agreeng to pay, rub your nose for quick sanction , sweep your lips for a better deal and make salute to mean something or make pranam to mean something else..
It is simply higher Mathematics even by RELATIVITY Theory and each gesture carries a coded massage from either side. and the final smile from other side may change you fate.
This is beyond any CBI or SIT. And for enquiry against your your office deal the INVESTIGATION might have to be held in Kashmir , next summer.
And " there are more things in heaven and Earth , Horatio...."-SHAKESPEARE.

CORRUP TON SPORT ---II
Like the' Tale of Two Cities' , It was the best time and it was the worst. We just raised our head after the drownning experience in the whirling blood of Communal riots and was enjoying the free-wil ( a myth ) of 'freedom after Mid night'. The great leader wanted to bring the big change and announced to hang all the CORRUPTs by the NEXT LAMP - POST.
I was doing a job (Gazetted officer with Rs 475/= pm{ even [domestic sevants would make cynical smile]. But I was as happy as any one for with Rs 13o/==pm I had a two room acomodation in Karol Bagh and had enough for my monthly expenditure. And I tried to know everything of the Capital Delhi and around.
The OATH taking had little effect on the CITy and society.Those were the days of thousand or a few thousand 'BRIBE-ERA 'and not THOUSANDs of Crores SCAM -Sport of these days.
If you were in NEW DELHI you must have known CONNAUGHT CIRCUS/Place and some 5 -star shops like Bondit Bros or KHOKA - DA HOTEL.
Just accept the invitation card of 'Birth day' or 'Rice eating Ceremony' and with the invitation card (marked) go there and Buy in thousand or entertain any number of guest with lavish food and you have to pay NOTHING ! ...That much sweet & Charming was the advent of FREEDOM !
There will me a printing number on the Invitation Card that will do better than any Modern Credit- Card. So no harm in taking any oath !
(Contd).
(Certified these are all imaginary tales and printing result of SOLILOQUY)

CORRUPTION SPORT : No --I
In Late 1950s while in CENTRAL SERVICE , HM Gulzarilal Nanda issued a CIRCUAR for all Govt officers to read and sign a paper promising, not to take or give bribe.
Gov T, PrKASH WAS A PERSONAL FRIEND OF J.N. NEHRU AND IN THAT MEETING Mr NEHRU JOKED AND ASKED THE GOVERNOR , IF HE TOOK THE OATH OR NOT.
THE GOVERNOR TOLD THAT HE SIGNED THAT SIDE WHERE HE HAD TO PROMISE NOT TO TAKE ANY BRIBE BECAUSE, IT WAS EASY JOB FOR HIM, AS NOT EVEN A CAT GIVES BRIBE TO A GOVERNOR. BUT THE PAGE WHERE HE HAD TO SIGN TO PROMISE NOT TO GIVE BRIBE , HE DID NOT.
NEHRU ASKED -'wWHY'?
AND HE REPLIED SHARP that HE COULD NOT HAVE COME TO THAT DAY'S CONFERENCE FOR, HE HAD TO PAY rs 20/= FOR HIS RAIL TICKET FOR SMART BOOKIMG.
THEY BOTH LAUGHED AND (?) ENJOYED .
THAT WAS MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY BACK WHEN RS 20 /= WAS MORE THAN RS2000/= OF TO DAY AND COMPUTERISED BOOKING WAS NOT EVEN IN THE WOMB OF RLY.
AND RAIL WAY WAS THE BEST SERVICE FOR BOON , BRIBE AND BONANZA.
NEXT STORY FROM mu SHORT MEMORY --NEXT TIME. (CONTD)
For my Legal SAFETY - this is a SOLILOQUY, I certify.

WEST BENGAL OR ' WASTE BENGAL" ?
The three parties in W. Bengal are fighting so much amongst themselves , 24x7 plus 365, that the people are are suffering most from' Bandh - Strike'- RADIATION effect.

WEST BENGAL'S TRUE NAME Is BHANGA DESH
Rabindranath's Sonar Bangla and culturally proud people of Bengal was for last six decades, so proud and intellectually sleepy that they did not know , - their state is still named 'West Bengal' and/or Pashchim Banga . Strange !! -- What is West if there is no 'East' , -remaining ?(Or what is Pashchim without its Purba ??
. That only means , it is yet a 'Bhanga Banga'or fractured State.
While both 'SonarBangla' and 'Bangla Desh' have been embraced by the Easten part of Undivided Bengal(after25 yrs -long waiting),West Bengal was so much busy in Gandhian and Marxian(CPM) tussle and then onward in triangular love of Congress, Trinamool and CPM that 'west Bengal' had all along been suffering from Identity-Crisis and now as an 'ALZ'- state and complacent with whatever it has as inheritance.
And yet this state still boast of its culture inspite of falling behind even some backward states of yester-period or post independence-aftermath.
Now is the period of DADA vs DIDI drama eating into the vitals of the State itself.
So, let west bengal be christened as 'Bhanga Desh' to fit in the name it deserves.
