vigilance DDG who openly eulogized Mr.Owl-say for sending him
fruits gathered from his orchard when in reality Mr.Owl-say owned
no orchard and the offerings of fruits were the courtesy of his
subordinate staff who utilizing free transport in the RMS
compartment would carry the basket loads of fruits purchased at
their cost, to the DDG as gifts sent by Mr.Owl-say.No wonder the
Vigilance DDG was ready to accept as gospel truth whatever manner
in which the case was twisted and made to look as though for some
commission I had contrived the need for sorting cases. When an

officer in the seat of Director of circle office would in the natural
course be receiving scores of letters and the Director would pass
remarks or observations it would be next to impossible to keep track
of all the papers and give final disposal. It was ignored that equally
was the subordinate officer responsible to examine the matter in the
light of observations made by the senior officer and submit to the
latter to obtain appropriate orders. When I found I was not going to
get justice at the DDG level I took it to the notice of DG post and
implored him not to suspect my integrity. It was a great relief to find
that the DG did believe I was honest and this matter would not come
in the way of my promotion to SAG level.

Unfortunately Owl-say fell ill critically and as Fate would have it.
Inspite of serious efforts and treatment at Nizamabad Orthopaedic
Hospital he could not be saved. After some time when the
Directorate convened a condolence meeting I could not but give
expression to the feelings of sorrow at the passing away of a fellow
human being.

Thanks to the efforts of Sri.Raghavachari I was recommended to
UPU for appointing me as Consultant for Bhutan Postal System for 3
months. I had the facility of computer in Bhutan DG’s office and I
brought out a Post Office guide for Bhutan.I utilized the advantage
of Nepal’s proximity to Bhutan and made a quick dash to
Kathmandu. I visited and offered prayers to Pashupathinath, and also
collected some saligramams.
