Bachelor :)

From my childhood, I am a hostelite. Very recently in bangalore I moved from hostel (PG) to ROOM. Basically, I am a food lover. Means, I love good food with good companion. Obviously, at room, I should eat alone, as we should work for shifts. At the same time, I tried new receipes in my room ( In hyd as well ) and I can say, I am succesfull. Though, it is taking time for me to prepare all the dishes. But, I am satisfied.

As most bachelors say, Potato is the best vegetable for a bachelor, because, we can prepare a lot of things with it. I agree. I tried same curry in different ways. hehe..

Today, I prepared carrot with the combonation of beans, and it is tasty.

I hope a lot mouth watering food to come..;)

No IAS Officer is this transparency at work.





I have seen a lot of CCTV cameras arranged in government offices and in officials cabins. I do not know, how much they are useful. I have also seen some of the cameras have not been turned on and some are covered with curtain cloths and some with the application papers, especially on grievance day in IAS camps.Recently, I came to know abt a officer in one article. He is " BESCOM chief Manivannan " at bangalore.

He arranged CCTV`s from different angles in his personal cabin and anyone can see him in his working hours in the web using those cams. it surprised me a lot.I personally checked the site where the live cams are linked to.

The two cameras diagonally opposite each other provide a view of the entire chamber. Thye have been installed at a cost of Rs 18,000 and have an ethernet link. We have a lot of scams in the entire INDIA, By arrangin a cam of atleast 1,000 ( I hope we can get one ) in every govt office, I think it may work atleast for some months.

Brief About Manivannan Sir :

Throughout his career, Manivannan has had a reputation for honesty and sincerity — the very attributes that have made his transfers controversial. His transfer from the Hubli-Dharwad Corporation evoked public protests, while his transfer from the post of Mysore DC led to street demos by students and other citizens. One politico who has realised his true worth is energy minister Shobha Karandlaje. As in-charge minister of Mysore district earlier, she had a first-hand knowledge of Manivannan’s capabilities. Not willing to lose a gem of a bureaucrat, she roped him in as soon as she landed the energy portfolio.

People may feel that, this may be a public stunt. I do not want to comment on those comments.
