JPC means Joint Parliamentary Committee. Its one type of ad hoc parliamentary Committees constituted by Indian Parliament.
One of its many objective is inquiry of specific subject. It will be constituted by either through a motion adopted by one House and concurred by the other, or, through communication between the presiding officers of the two Houses. Houses means Rajya Sabha or Lok Sabha.
The members in JPC are either elected by the Houses or nominated by the presiding officers. As in the case of other parliamentary committees, they are drawn from different groups. The strength of a JPC ( Joint Parliamentary Committee) may vary. The Lok Sabha share is double than that of the Rajya Sabha.
In JPC, The Public Accounts Committee of Parliament is supposed to conduct a detailed examination of the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor-General (CAG), scrutinising the yearly accounts of the Government.
Having 15 members f the Lok Sabha and seven members of the Rajya Sabha, the chairmanship of the PAC conventionally goes to a nominee of the main opposition party.
The PAC calls upon ministries to explain cases of financial irregularities.

The Perfect Wave
The Wave Rose and the Wave Fell!
This is the story the other waves now tell...
From the depth of the ocean to the vast expanse to the sky
The little Wave wanted to touch the sky
Out there in the blue wilderness
Colourful weeds swayed, the fins' slipped
The quest to explore
The 'dreamer' was high
Came the wind, the rain and the rocks beneath
The ships sailed and the surfers slid
Little Wave loved it all
The 'Perfect' Wave in itself had it all!
Yours truly

Non Violence
A question put to me by somebody:
i dont believe in non violence...what happened to all the peaceful people throughout history...mostly they were slaughtered. Look at the state of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh, well these peaceful guys wont exist anymore.
Answer:
well well..maybe apparently true at some level
but if i rephrase it means u believe in violence.And by violence i hope u mean war and not the other kind of violence...
I am wondering about the violence which often breaks out in American schools...
Hitler is said to have committed suicide.
And i am sure i need not talk about Gandhiji and our freedom struggle
When you are totally non-violent (meaning even in the mind),violence just stops in your presence..It does, in case of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji's Presence.This has to be experienced. It cannot be comprehended intellectually/logically.
There has been wars in our two greatest of Epics too.Jesus too was crucified.He is worshipped for what he stood..Love
Guruji says WAR is Worst Act of Reason ! It should be the last resort.
Peace and some amount of disturbance will always continue to co-exist..it always has...You have to decide, you are on which side.
Hope Americans are not considering a war for economic purposes :)
May peace prevail in all minds,hearts and all communities of the world...
Luv & Light

Well packaged?
Of all these talks about terrorism, I have been pondering about another kind of terror that most of us are either not aware of or don’t acknowledge it but very much prevalent in our country. I am talking about the TERROR OF PEN which is very generously being used by our white-collared pseudo writers and so called sophisticated urbane columnists, some of who also like to call themselves as social workers (read: not knowing anything about our social economic scenario) typically dressed in cottons or bling and making statements over what would give them more publicity as if it were gospel truth!
I have a hearty laugh whenever they make/write ignorantly frivolous comments/columns. And most of it is based on other well known people or celebrities or on some stupid holiday trip they have been on!
Have they really contributed anything to the society I wonder? Or maybe they have by providing mere ‘masala’ to be sold by some media house to create sensationalism and churn money.
What could be the recipe for this ‘masala’ to create ‘dhamaka’?
Expressing their unwarranted opinion on incidents pending proper investigation, half baked stories, an unauthorized peek into some famous personality’s personal life and sometimes engaging in catfights with other media people/actors to garner attention. Such attention seekers…And add to it a cynical bent of mind.
Now have they really inspired anybody?
No! Or maybe a few handful of some wannabes’ who want to ape them to earn fame and money but definitely nothing beyond it.
Well I pray for these writers and columnists to get well soon :)
At the same time I pray for my fellow citizens to get ‘viveka’ or the power of discrimination between truth and ‘masala’.
May peace and light prevail in every mind !
Jai Hind!
