Re: [HumJanenge] Kejriwal - A SHORT BIOGRAPHY IN COTROVERSY

Dear Mr Mathur

Many thanks for your post. We heartily concur that majority of posts on this mailing list are just nonsensical chat-room time-pass.

The problem with allowing people to speak / express freely is that it quickly becomes apparent that they have nothing substantial to say / contribute.

From Oct 2, this group will be reverting to RTI only mode so that we can unitedly achieve something positive.

Intelligent people discuss "issues/causes" and ordinary ones bicker about "people/personalities".

The quality of forum,and utility thereof depends upon the quality of objective-oriented traggic and not on the quality of mud-slinging.

On various fora I keep reminding esteemed colleagues about the very purpose of investing our precious time and energy on the fora,which is NO,REPEAT NO,chat room for gossip-mongers.

There is virtually a Divine purpose for achieving something great,that we all love close to our heart.In this case,its use of RTI Instrument for achieving directly/indirectly great future for for all of us and for our nation.

Everyone needs to pause a while before feeling tempted to key in any stuff,in a hurry,or in retaliation,or in just fulfilling one's whims and fancies,whether the stuff passes the litmus test of OBJECTIVE-ORIENTATION or not.That sort of discipline,ingrained slowly,but surely would, in times to come, impart dignity to the forum, and pride to the contributors/participants.

I also wish to reiterate:

Decency is as much part of candour,as discretion of valour(a la Shakespeare)

I hasten to add my easy conceptualisation of all Info related Statuates globally.

RTI for:

Better governance(policy formulation etc at macro level)

Better management(organisational functioning ,at mid level)

Better operation(service delivery at micro level)

                                Not all participant are involved,or interested in action at all levels.Normally can't be.One can graduate from operational level to higher ones with enormous experience and knowledge,realising that SWOT analysis etc would be required to to be done in understanding the info recd.At Organisational level one could choose specific departmet/sub-unit or even corrupt person-specific for doing seriour work as often slogging is needed and perseverence is the necessary virtue there for successful action.Grouos with better mastery of technology and support of legal acumen find it easier to deliver than those just working with "wild enthusiasm".

                                                      Dear colleagues with decades of serious work in anti-corruption arena and in RTI related fields(we wanted it initially Duty to Inform Act.,twent yrs ago),I,m inclined to think positively with result-orientation bent of mind and not just get involved in a casual manner.Hence the need for this long post.
