Change is the law of nature.The change for good has started happening. You wil see common man making in roads in every field. Let us not be disappointed. GOD knows right time to give right things. Let us be patient and pray to whoever be the GOD. Wait and watch the happenings. Raise your voice once you are sure that other man can be stopped from doing wrong things.
It is sad to note that the advice given by PM to the heads of offices through the Secretaries of Central Secretariat has no effect on the field. I feel that the intermediaries like Secretaries and heads of department & Offices have been adopting half-heart approach to the key issues like corruption, punctuality, accountability. Recently two of Central Secretaries that too from important ministries like Home and Foreign Affairs were give exit. Where are we heading?
