Senior IAS officers should learn how not to bend, stand erect and tall from IIT Delhi's Director

IIT Delhi’s Director Mr. K. Shevgaonkar has quit instead of reportedly acceding to two demands of the HRD Ministry- to provide the IIT ground for a cricket academy Sachin Tendulkar wanted to open and also pay nearly Rs 70 lakh to former IIT D faculty and now BJP functionary Subramanian Swamy as his "salary dues" between 1972 and 1991.

'How to lose friends in the New Year' by K.J.S.Chatrath

Now that New Year is just round the corner, some friends are going to flood the internet with 'Motivational Quotes' and 'New Year Resolutions'....Bah!

I often wonder if such 'inspirational' quotes, quite often from little known foreigners (mainly Americans), circulated by some friends on the Facebook, are of any use... ...

I would love to know the views of my FB friends, and not the views of say Paulo Coelho..

Any day is as good as another for starting to improve one's life style...So let us not get into the 'My New Year Resolution is...' crap!
