She in sixth pay commission

She in sixth pay commission
Salary is the most important matter, that means most for the employees, hence first day of month – salary day – holds greater value than any thing else in the life of salaried class. Even the imaginary world of silver screen is under the magical effect of this world “Salary” and hence since the year movie heroin says like this to hero and who sings:
“Bibi Boli Ghar Zara Jaldi Se Aana, Sham Ko Piyaji Humko Cinema Dikhana,Karo Na Bahana, Aaj Pahali tarikh Hai.” [Wife says, Come a bit earlier in the evening and take me for the movie, Oh! Dear don’t give any excuse after all today is the first day of month]
Things have changed a lot since the shooting and presentation of this song on the silver screen and Indian women had progress to status at which instead of waiting for the salary day of husband she is working to get salary for the self.
Recently the sixth pay commission submitted recommendations with almost 40% salary hike. I thought of knowing the reaction of people over these recommendations specially those which have a relation with women employees. Like increase in leave period and hike of education allowances for two kids etc. the first person which visualized in my mind was Mr. Kishori Lal Singh Pahalwan, a wrestler by family tradition who turns into politician and presently working for the social welfare of women. This is another thing that three on going court cases of crucial and abuse behavior with women [two by his divorced wives and third one by present wife] hardly keep him free, but being very influenced person he is treated as the most active politicians of the area.
I reached to his place looking house at the out shores of city early in the morning because this is the only time when he can be in normal mood. Kishori was preparing to have a routine walk and ask me to company him for the purpose of saving time. Since the Netaji is a wrestler by family tradition hence he never forget to have a morning walk for at least 4-5 Km, due to this habit he never go away from the city and his house other wise he is with all the political qualities of a national leader. Since he become active in the politics it become hard for him to keep the routine of morning walk as if he goes out complaining common people force him to interrupt his walk. He talked with high command on this matter and state government asked the city authorities to allot him the land kept reserved since several years for constructing stadium for his residential purpose. In the long green back yard of this residence we were walking.
“Have you heard about the recommendations of sixth pay commission?” my world tried to break silence of last five minutes.
“Yes! Though I have not seen the details but is sure whatever recommendations Justice Shrikrishna have made, all of them were in accordance of will of high command” Kishori replied.
But Sir?
“No No” I was forced to stop by high pinched voice of Netaji. “Don’t use any harsh words, we are leaders of public and if we stop thinking about the welfare of deprived working class people, where these people will go?”
“But sir, I was intended to know your reaction for the recommendations made by sixth………..”
“You critics? I think even God is not able to satisfy you” I was wondering how this word criticism entered into our conversation but It is has nothing to do with Netaji. He kept on saying
“Look since the centuries Indian women are in the phase of secondary social status. What is harm if we are trying to give her 50% reservation in the politics after all they constituents almost half of the country population”.
Netaji was in the full swing of bombarding me with words and I prefer to play the role of silent listener.
“High command is much concerned over the recent social trend of pre birth killing of girl child and probably this the reason for withholding women reservation bill, other wise this might have been presented in the parliament many years ago” Netaji stopped for a while.
“But sir, I was trying to know about the sixth pay commission “I tried once again to get reaction.
“We know that, but did you know how hard is for the Indian women to work in the office after looking at domestic house hold works?” I was forced to move my head in negative style.
“If we are giving a little bit relaxation to her while she works in the office, what is wrong in it? I say nothing is wrong; after all we are working to provide her a little bit relief for the sufferings of centuries.“ Netaji stopped to have a deep breath in the pleasant morning air and I thought, this is the most appropriate time to get back to home for my routine work of blogging.
I failed to get reaction of Kishori Lalsingh Pahalwan but I request you all not to behave like the Netaji and express your reactions for my, this blog at the space provided below for the comments.
