Sunday Nov 16-2014

Aries : If you have children, it’s likely you’ll spoil them today. After all, it’s for days like these that you work hard, says Ganesha. You will also complete pending assignments and it’s a productive day for those in medical professions and pubic services.

Taurus : There ain’t no mountain high enough and there ain’t no valley deep! Today, you will find yourself on an invincible run. You might be your own worst enemy today, if you waste your effort and energy for unproductive purposes. Overall, it is smooth sailing today and Ganesha advises you to stay focussed.

Gemini : You will let your personal likes and dislikes cloud your judgement today. Don’t let that happen, or you may lose a worthy friend. You are likely to have a chance meeting with your soul mate or maybe even your ex-sweetheart. A romantic evening is on the anvil. But it remains to be seen whether it will be your past, present or future lover.

Cancer : It is quite possible that your personal life will take precedence over your professional life. You will not be able to repress or ignore your feelings, and you should not either, says Ganesha. But you should be careful about how you express yourself in public.

Leo : It is an important day for you. Everyone in the office will accept your capabilities and will praise you. You may incur expenses on entertainment and luxuries. Your financial difficulties will now be solved. It is better to have an eye on long term gains. A progressive day on the whole, says Ganesha.

Virgo : Ganesha says you realise the importance of family matters today. You have great skills when it comes to negotiations, and you will use them in settling disputes amicably. Ganesha says you have learned the lessons of life on staying level-headed, and that you keenly believe that opposition eventually leads to progress.

Libra : Ganesha says today you will use your mental competency to complete all your work on time. You may not give complete attention to your family as you will be spending time in the office or at work. Your extraordinary intelligence will be showcased at work today. Ganesha says do not forget your family which has played a huge role in your success.

Scorpio : You are one social butterfly today. However, shunning the gossips, you spread kindness and happiness in your social groups. People will look up to you today for this reason. What goes around, comes around; spread joy and you are sure to receive joy, says Ganesha.

Sagittarius : It’s time for some entertainment. Movies, picnics and dining out is on your mind. Invite your beloved and enjoy quality time with each other. Also, you will spend time with you family and friends, and attend a music concert together.

Capricorn : You firmly believe in the concept of ‘health is wealth’. You have maintained a very good health so far and it will not be an issue today, also. Successful completion of current projects seem to be a distant target, however, you will finish them off. Your boss may get upset with you for not completing the work on time. You will put monetary issues on the back burner for the day, says Ganesha.

Aquarius : You wish to have more than twenty-four hours in a day! You are determined to finish off your pending work but somehow you will find it extremely difficult to get the load off your shoulders. You will try everything; from canceling your vacations to postponing your dates, but nothing will seem enough, feels Ganesha.

Pisces : Ganesha feels that you will sympathize with people today. This will help you get people’s good wishes. You can prove to be a good boss, co worker, husband or wife and son or daughter. Ganesha advises you to carry on with these virtues.

Pensioners verification easier

November 16, 2014

Sir,
The Prime Minister Modi, who is also incharge Public Grievances and Pensions deserves all praise for making the pensioners verification process quite hassle free. It was pitiable that aged and ailing pensioners had to wait in long queues at the office of Treasury Officer or Bank Manager in both blistering hot as well as inclement chilling weather for physical verification. It was a hard nut to crack for bed ridden and crippled pensioners accompa nied by young caretakers who took them for physical verification in utterly painful condition. Further, it was also a cumbersome affair to get “Life certificate” from a gazzetted officer.
Now, the digital certification for Central Govt pensioners has make it convenient, as IT software will enable recording of the Aadhar number and other biometeric data that shall be down loaded in the central data system enabling the disbursing officer of the pensioner to have an on spot access to the Digital Life Certificate” through the pensioner’s smart phone.
The new computerised technique has given a lot of relief to the bed ridden pensioners and the whole pensioner coming and thus the Prime Minister has won their infinite blessings by introducing the innovative software technique.
It is prayed that the State Govt shall also adopt this technique so that State Govt pensioners shall not have to move from their homes in helpless suffering state, thus paying adieu to the old hackneyed and troublesome physical verification process.
Yours etc…
