Yes, these so called award waley ask for a certain sum to “publish” your name in a “who’s who” also, Bonus!<br />Manpreet | Homepage | 02.18.08 – 4:19 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Well, with the kind of petty politics that happened this year, you never know…<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 02.19.08 – 8:06 pm | #<br /><br />------------------------------------<br /> <br />I think that the current status of Bharat Ratna as an Award is suspect but about a a few years back it used to be conferred on people of distiction.<br />Even now we should be thankful for just a pinch and not a thimbleful of salt if it goes to about 75% of the good ones and the remaining 25 well never mind.<br />roopa | Homepage | 02.28.08 – 12:30 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />I suspect the percentage is skewed more than that in favour of the ‘never minds’.<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 02.28.08 – 1:59 pm | #Sidhusaahebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428201823375343016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30556104.post-79557429557059766872010-01-26T16:24:03.693+05:302010-01-26T16:24:03.693+05:30ur idea is really original!
How do we know | Homep...ur idea is really original!<br />How do we know | Homepage | 01.15.08 – 12:43 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />This is another well written post – I liekd your idea at the end – pretty original and hope that someone in the power-wielding centers is reading this…<br /><br />About getting the VIP number plates and all the influence peddling that supports it, I was also reminded of this obsession in Pakistan.<br />Even in our quirks we share a lot in common!<br />Raza Rumi | Homepage | 01.15.08 – 2:33 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Bharat Ratna is the most exemplery & highiest honour, in whole totality and perespective of India and not specific state issue.<br />In that case it will be Bharat Ratna Ltd.<br />I feel person of national importance who gave impetus growth to the country’s economy, removal of illeteracy and employment generation should be honoured.<br />(ex Dhirubhai Ambani, Narayanamurthy because of whome we stand on steep & strong economic growth today than neighbouring countries)<br />Lets not auction …..@ 1..2..3..<br />If we can not find ratna’s (diamonds) pl dont go ahead (for amarican dimonds)<br />MIND: All Rocks Are Not Ratna’s.<br />v s rao | 01.15.08 – 4:40 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />I remember when I bought my first sets of wheels, a scooter I mean in 1990. My friend’s dad was VP of Bajaj’s agency near Karol Bagh/PaharGanj (in front of that big Mata Da Mandir, I believe it was Jhande walan… Oh my… I can’t remember the name of the Agency) and when I got the delivery, I was surprised to get a VIP number, part of the number was 1010. I was rarely stopped by the police while coming home late at night, I guess coz of the number. I believe it is either money or approach that you need to get things done. But I didnot even ask for it. I believe Uncle jee just did it out of love for his son’s friend. As far as Bharat Ratan is concerned, I don’t want to stress myself with that as true Bharat Ratan are not to be found in todays world. There are lot many individuals who work a lot better with dedication and without the thought of being recoganized, than these filthy politicians of today, but they just go un noticed.<br />Sifar | Homepage | 01.15.08 – 11:54 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Honestly I don’t remember the last 10-15 awardees of the Bharat Ratna award. So I guess your option of auctioning the damn award makes a lot of economic and practical sense. <br /><br />In any case, it really doesn’t matter who wins it anyways. Any truly deserving winner will continue to work for the betterment of the country, irrespective of whether he/she wins an award or not.<br /><br />And any non-deserving jackass who wins will continue to be a jackass anyways whether he/she wins the award or not.<br /><br />Cheers…..Jam<br />Jam | Homepage | 01.16.08 – 9:22 am | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Some one recommend ma name plz….<br /><br />Neatly written!<br />great read man!!!<br />aman | Homepage | 01.16.08 – 2:35 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />@How do we know: Thanks! <br /><br />@Raza: Thanks! I hope so too!<br /><br />Of course we do and I hope and pray that more people realise that!! <br /><br />@V S Rao: Since they are already bent upon making a mockery of it, they might as well purchase it through an auction.<br /><br />@Sifar: I guess no one knows more about how to treat ‘VIPs’ than government servants.<br /><br />I agree with you that those who are really committed to serving their nation do not hanker after awards.<br /><br />@Jam: I agree! <br /><br />BTW, I don’t recall those names either. <br /><br />@Aman: I suppose you’ll have to contact the head of any of the major political parties, for the purpose.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments!<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 01.20.08 – 1:18 pm | #Sidhusaahebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428201823375343016noreply@blogger.com
