60 YEARS IN JOURNALISM AND 105 CRORE HITS (whispersinthecorridors.com and sureshmehrotra.com - first choice of movers and shakers)
After six months I will be completing 60 years in journalism. 1961 was the year when I joined ‘Navprabhat’ daily newspaper from Ujjain where people like late P C Sethi ,then President of the Municipality used to come to our office with handouts. RSS stalwarts Baba Saheb Natu and Kusha Bhau Thakre used to encourage me in journalism. Since then the journey has been too long as a Correspondent in news agencies and publications of repute like UNI, Free Press journal, Hindustan Times and later as an Editor of Dainik Bhaskar group’s English News Paper National Mail and then as an Editor of Nai Duniya. Being a gold medalist (in MA – History) from Vikram University, joined the University run College as Professor of History. I continued this for 16 years till 1982 and came to Bhopal but destiny had something else in store for me. It was here in 2001 when there came a turning point once again and I alone set on a journey to do something of my own – create a new flavour in Journalism. And this out of box thinking lead to the emergence of whispersinthecorridors.com. A new concept in the country,which appeared an uphill task initially. Even the closest of my friends were apprehensive that how can a news venture – devoid of any business house support - survive. And today “Whispers” is known across the country and in Missions abroad. Those who matter in politics, bureaucracy and corporate world, visit this site regularly. Information is power and for information I never embarrassed anyone but continued my work with full dedication without a single day break even in the worst of situations – when first my only son Sameer and then the back bone of the organisation Sanjeev passed away in quick succession. It looked that the curtains were drawn but I left everything at the mercy of God and continued to work restlessly even when sometimes - at this age of 75 plus - my body refuses to cooperate. Despite these setbacks, in 2008, we came out with the print edition of ‘Whispers In The Corridors’, a monthly magazine which contains all important news items of the month worth preserving for future reference. However, the almighty has also been too kind to me and as they say, ‘God helps those, those who help themselves’, what could be more gratifying than the fact that whispersinthecorridors.com has not only become a name among ‘movers and shakers’ of the country but also created history in web journalism by bringing 105 crore visitors on its platform. Today ‘whispers’ has become a small family having a dozen members and it has not only become a trusted name among the bureaucrats but people also wonder that how could the product sustain without any political or business house backing. It, however, remains to be seen now that how we stand the test of time in post COVID-19 situation. Whatever little earnings we had by way of advertisements have fallen prey to the nationwide lock down and now my savings have also started drifting away to meet the expenses of the whispers’ family whose members are being paid 50 percent of their salary for the past two months. I have not taken single paisa to run my family for the last two months and managing things with the pension of my wife who retired as College professor. But having full faith in God, I still feel ‘Yeh Raat bhi Gujar jaayegi’ because honesty, good intentions and hard work never go in vain. At the same time we also solicit your SUGGESTIONS & SUPPORT. THANKS

‘Where there is a will, there is a way !”, goes an age old adage. And I staunchly believe that it is true. It has happened with me and hence I can say with conviction that nothing can fail you if you have commitment towards your work and do it honestly. In such a case, success is for sure even though it is delayed many a times.
Your brainchild "Whispers in the Corridors" (whispersinthecorridors.com) has not only contributed to mere journalism world with newest concept of news dissemination, but its actual contribution in nation building and the transparency that whispersinthecorridors.com has brought in to administrative functions and selection process of officials at large. Even Government of India, remains concerns of whispersinthecorridors.com during the appointment of key posts as your portal publishes the names of eligible candidates well in advance. Your whispersinthecorridors.com predictions and forecast so far as political developments, administrative actions thereto and also any developments of national significance is a great hit. Many other predictions and guiding news like appointment of Lokpal, CDS, JP Nadda as BJP Chief, Amit Shah as HM, etc., are some of the examples of ever-lasting effects. All top notch officials in Centre as well as States get glued in morning or sometime once in 24 hours to get first hand and first information about as to what is about to happen next. All India's organizations, various associations, national as well as state parties and various unions etc., are very much concerned and peep through whishpersinthecorridors.com into the other's affairs and inside matters of their opponents and so forth. Many kudos and great salute to its mentor and founder Dr. Suresh Mehrotra.
Keep up this good work. With Best wishes and regards,

Sad state of affairs for service personnel sans IAS
It is really a sad state of affairs for the service personnel who are other than IAS. Even during this pandemic they are regularly getting promotions and services like CSSS CSS etc are languishing for years together without any tangible promotion. Eventhough litigations are there it could be resolved and the Government can come up with proposals which are beneficial to the cadres mentioned above. Never ever we delay or deny our work and always sincere in our efforts and during this pandemic we all are working together for the welfare of the nation. Government should at least now open their eyes and ears for our welfare. Hope something good happens in the near future. Otherwise we are really frustrated.

Overlapping shifts
This kind of shift working is called overlapping shifts. Three shift working means working 24X7, which can never happen in a govt office.

Filing RTI Application with one’s own organisation
An employee filed an application with his own public authority seeking information certain information about the decision of an independent committee. The desired information was not provided to her by the PIO while stating that she can get the information through proper channel. The PIO submitted that the appellant being an employee of the same organisation, the RTI application was put up before the higher authorities and based on the decisions taken by the higher authorities, a reply was provided to her. The CIC held that the PIO was supposed to address the points raised by the Appellant in her RTI application rather than stating that the applicant being herself an employee of the respondent is a part of information provider and can get the information through proper channel. The CIC cautioned the PIO to strictly follow the RTI regime while handling the RTI applications in future.
Comments
As per Section 3 of the RTI Act, a citizen has every right to file a RTI application and the PIO is legally bound to reply to the same. Even though one may be an employee of the organisation, it does not take away the right to file an application under the RTI Act to that organisation as a citizen.
