Its My way or the Highway- Govt

This is what happens when you make a bunch of idiots take decisions.
The Government will not sanction any Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) for an employee who uses personal car or taxi as mode of transport.
Ok...from the first statement I understand that the government is trying to provide some business to the  State/Central Government owned Transport mechanisms. This also means that it believes that these systems are on par or atleast comparable with the private operators. However, the next line shows something else
However, the rule shall not be applicable to employees with a handicap or disability of self or dependent family member.
What does this show!!...That if  I want to travel by JetAirways because it costs me less i should first get my self a disability or bring a physically challenged friend along...WTF!! This is a classic case of solving the wrong problem. The problem is that the sales of tickets in Government carriers is less because they do not offer the value for money ( be it in terms of service quality or comfort). This cannot be solved by forcing people to use it...No!!....Upgrade them, improve them make them attractive...cut down the excessive flab!!

Alas!....Who cares..
Mantriji always insisted on having his aircraft tank full...and would get it fully refuelled everytime it landed. On asking what was the reason...
"The only time you feel you have too much fuel on this worn out planes is when you're on fire"
Good answer mantriji!!

Tooth Biryani

I always thought that  there are a few ways in which one can die when he flies and none of those risks could be avertible...But this came as a shocker!!
Malad-resident Brijesh Lohia;- it seems;- had reason to be angry: he had allegedly found a tooth implant in the food
I am sure it is not long before you would find a whole denture in the food served. It is appalling to see that the national carrier standards have gone down to new low. Now there are more reasons to avoid eating during the flight apart from the poor taste of the served stuff.
