THE SUPPLEMENTARY LIST

Just wanted to inform folks that I figure in the supplementary lits of successful candidates for civil services main exam 2008. I don't just figure there  but 'top' that list. A lot of comments on my earlier blogs asked me this question and I believe it's my duty to reply. Hence this post. The 51st one.

The supplementary list was released by UPSC a few months ago. The description of the list was in a pdf file, in comic sans font, mocking the entire idea of success. Anyway, the names were in Times new roman and I sucked unto it when I saw my name topping the list. 

So, based on the helpful hints from my fellow supplementary candidates, I came to know that I will land up with a service that's called Indian Trade Service, ITS. I am awaiting the service allocation by DoPT.

Have been wondering how this would sound. K.V.Tirumala, ITS. 

A private joke between me and my Punjabi biwi is that T stands for Tatta. Hope it doesn't let me down once I join and stink like that word. 

Anyway, my job in private sector is going well. Airbus is an excellent organization to work for when it comes to challenges at work and balance between work and life. Tough things to provide to an employee, especially for the ones like me, and I found Airbus a good place to be.

Someone in Sansad bhavan, upper house, asked the PM when would these supplementary people get their jobs that's due to them for years. The answer was, we are following due procedure and in due time it will be done. 

And so I wait, in the meantime, for the due clerks of various departments to take due action and roll the due procedure so that some dues to me in life are set right. Will keep you posted.
