unwarrented criticism

If by chance Fixed Deposit Receipt is misplaced or lost, Banks ask for an Affidavit on Rs 500 stamp paper to give a duplicate receipt. This is exorbitant amount for Super Senior citizens and RBI should instruct Banks to give duplicate Receipt on furnishing KYC documents. Super Senior citizens have memory issues and Banks should be more  considerate to them and should not charge such huge amounts for giving duplicate receipt

Democracy or Kingdom

If one applies for any post, the first few questions asked are about his qualifications and experience. If one is already working as lecturer in college, he needs to put in certain number of years in that post before being considered for promotion to Professor. Mumbai university stipulates that one has to successfully guide atleast 5 students for M.Sc. before he applies for recognition as a guide for Ph.D. But it is strange that qualifications and experience are of least important for the highest post of the country like Prime Minister, Chief Minister or even cabinet Minister.

Football is an awful state in India. The country has not even qualified to play world cup where small countries from Latin America and Europe are playing.The country's rank is going down year after year. Sports ministry should take time bound action to find out the reasons for the sorry state of the game and take immediate measures to improve the pitches, coaches, infrastructure and playing skills of players. Baichung Bhutia, undoubtedly the greatest football player of the country, should be involved in this task. He should be fully supported by the government in this task.

What President country wants

President of India should be a well learned erudite scholar widely known with simple living habits and respected by people all over India. Among the past presidents Dr S. Radharkrishna and to some extent Abdul Kalam fit in this category. President should not belong any political party and he should not be a current minister. President's role comes into play only when there is a hung parliament. Non party man will make an unbiased decision at this time. Presently governors are chosen from party men and they are invariable found to perform as per the requirement of their masters. Such a thing should not be allowed to happen with president. His style of living should be simple similar to any middle class citizen. He should live in a moderately sized house of around 1500-2000 sq feet. Number of servants should be restricted to a bare minimum. He should contribute to development of country by giving suggestions for improvement to the ministers including prime minister. He should have a role in the selection of Election commissioner, Vigilance chief and other constitutional posts. If he finds misuse of CBI by the government he should immediately caution the prime minister.  He should make a foreign trip only if it bring tangible benefits to the country. He should give report of the visit to the parliament. Viewed under this context Pranab Mukherjee is a poor choice for president. We should look at a wider area covering academcians and scholars for this purpose.
