बिना वेतन का अफ़सर

लाखों-करोड़ों रुपए कमाना हर युवा का सपना होता है। इसके लिए कई दिन रात एक करके कठिन परीक्षा पास करते हैं, तो कुछ करोबार में मेहनत करके पैसा कमाते हैं, लेकिन करोड़ों का पैकेज ठुकराकर आईएएस बने अमित कटारिया का सपना इन सबसे अलग है। वे नौकरी भी बगैर सैलरी के करते हैं।

रायपुर जिला पंचायत के मुख्य कार्यपालन अधिकारी और 2004 बैच के आईएएस अमित कटारिया नौकरी केबल पैसों के लिए नहीं करते। यही वजह है कि करीब दो-तीन साल की अपनी नौकरी में दो-तीन बार को छोड़कर वेतन नहीं लिया। दो-तीन बार भी, इसलिए कि ट्रांसफर के बाद नई जगह पर लास्ट पे स्लिप जमा करना अनिवार्य होता है। स्लिप इस बात का प्रूफ माना जाता है कि नई जगह पर पोस्टिंग वाले पुराने स्थान पर काम किया है।

सबसे कठिन मानी जाने वाली परीक्षा पास करके यहां तक पहुंचे श्री कटारिया का कहना है कि विशेष परिस्थितियों को छोड़कर वे भविष्य में भी वेतन लेना नहीं चाहते। ट्रेनिंग और परवीक्षा अवधि पूरी होने के बाद उनकी पहली पोस्टिग बतौर एसडीएम कवर्धा जिले में हुई थी। यहां कार्यकाल में उन्होंने एकाध बार ही सैलरी लिया। इसके बाद बेमेतरा और कांकेर में जिला पंचायत केञ् सीईओ के रूप में काम किया। बेमेतरा में उन्होंने एक बार भी वेतन नहीं लिया। फिलहाल वे रायपुर जिला पंचायत केञ् सीईओ के रूप में भी बिना तनख्बाह के काम कर रहे हैं। इसके अलावा नौकरी के दौरान सरकारी मकान भी नहीं लिया।

दिल्ली के समीप गुड़गांव के रहने वाले अमित ने इंजीनियरिंग की सर्वोच्च संस्थाओं में से एक आईआईटी दिल्ली इलेकट्रानिक्स में बीटेक किया है। बीटेक की पढ़ाई के दौरान ही उन्हें देश विदेश की नामी गिरामी कंपनियों से लाखों के पैकेज पर नौकरी का आफर मिला था, लेकिन वे आईएएस बनना चाहते थे। इसलिए सभी आफर ठुकरा दिया।


श्री कटारिया के वेतन नहीं लेने से उनका कई इंक्रीमेंट रूक गया है। उनके बैच मैट्स की सैलेरी 20-25 हजार तक पहुंच गई है, लेकिन उनका वेतन अभी भी 12-15 हजार के बीच बनता है। उनके वेतन का लाखों रुपया सरकारी खजाने में जमा हो गया है। सरकार हर आईएएस अफसर की तनख्बाह उनके बैंक खाते में जमा कर देती है। उन्होंने राज्य शासन को अपना बैंक अकाउंट नंबर ही नहीं दिया है। इसलिए पैसा बैंक में जमा नहीं होता।

उनका कहना है कि वे पिछले वेतन की राशि को क्लेम नहीं करेंगे। श्री कटारिया के परिवार का दिल्ली और आसपास रियल स्टेट का कारोबार है। शापिंग माल और कई कांप्लेक्स भी हैं। परिवार में माता पिता के अलावा दो भाई और दो बहन हैं। माता पिता गुड़गांव में रहते हैं। दोनों बहनें अमेरिका में डाकटर हैं। भाई भी अधिकांश समय इंग्लैंड में रहते हैं। उनकी हाल ही में शादी हुई है। पत्नी एयर इंडि़या में एयर होस्टेज है। उनसे कई गुना ज्यादा पत्नी की आमदनी है।

ये खबर मैने भास्कर मे छापी थी, ब्लाग मे इसलिए पोस्ट कर रहा। मुझे लगता एक उदाहरण सबक लेने लायक है।

A Nice Article about Love




I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."



This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.



This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .



For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.
Give and don't expect.Advise, but don't order.Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."



Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....
Life is beautiful!!! Live it !!!

The Wise Songbird



Then the songbird told him it's three great secrets:Never believe all that you hear; Never regret what you have never lost, and never throw away that which you have in your keeping. The gardener was furious when he heard this and said he had known these so-called 'secrets' since he was a little child and shouted that the bird had tricked him. But the songbird quietly replied that if the man had really known these three secrets, or only the last of them, he would never have let him go.


Then the bird added:"I have a most precious jewel weighing over three ounces hidden inside me and whoever possesses that marvellous stone will have every wish granted." On hearing this, the keeper roared like a lion and cursed himself for setting the songster free. But the little bird only added fuel to his rage by explaining that since he weighed no more than half an ounce at most, as anyone with eyes could plainly see, how was it possible that a gem weighing more than three ounces could be hidden within it's tiny body?


At that the man tore his hair and lunged at the bird in a towering rage, but the little songbird flew to a nearby branch and added sweetly:"Since you never had the jewel in your hands you are already regretting what you never lost, and believing what I told you, you threw it away by setting me free." Then the little songbird told the man to study well these three great secrets and so become as wise as the bird himself!

Newton’s laws of LOVE

First law:

A boy in love with a girl continues to be in love with her and a girl in love with a boy continues to be in love with him, until and unless any external agent(brother or father of the girl) comes into play and breaks the legs of the boy.
Second law:
The rate of change of intensity of love of a girl towards a boy is directly proportional to his bank balance.
Third law:
The force applied while proposing a girl by a boy is equal and opposite to the force applied by the girl while using her sandals.

Universal law:
Love can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be transfered from one girlfriend to another girlfriend

story of father

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.
The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"
The Son replied "It is a crow".
After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"
The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It’s a crow".

After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time,

What is this?"

At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the Son’s tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. "It’s a crow, a crow".

A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?"

This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?"

A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary :-

"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time h e asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child".

While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.

So..

If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents.From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me.

They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today".
Say a prayer to God, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave.
