Q AND A 8626
1 Edit:
After looking at all the great discussions present in the comments, i
couldn’t stop myself from participating. I really cannot respond to every
individual comment. So, including some more information here, so that few
things are clarified.
One interesting scenario that is being discussed here : what would be the
outcome when the operator probably drops unconscious on the Alerter button
keeping the button always pressed.
Answer : Every locomotive is a million dollar piece of equipment and the
manufacturers would have given attention to detail, till the last screw is
fixed. So, i believe, a very complex algorithm must be in place to avoid
all such situation.
But, even if we think just for a moment, don’t you think Edge Triggered
Circuits / Edge Detection circuits would do the job? it is not a continuous
ON or OFF that matters. It is the Press from operator every time that
matters. Every transition from OFF - ON / ON-OFF matters.
So, if operator falls unconscious on the button, there would be a
continuous ON and not transitions and thus, after the waiting period, the
locomotive would be powered down and emergency brakes would be applied to
bring the train to a halt.
2. Another interesting comment is about the movie *“Unstoppable”*
I absolutely loved this movie and probably one of best works of director
Tony Scott after Top Gun, for me.
This movie is based on a real-life incident, that occurred in Ohio state of
United States in 2001. Read more about it here: CSX 8888 incident –
Wikipedia If we pay attention to what the operator does in the beginning
of the movie, he is too lazy to hook the brake hoses from the locomotive to
the train. so, it is only the locomotive that has the brakes and not the
train.

2 Originally Answered: What are some advantages to living in China
compared to living in the US?
1. Your salary. I get paid pretty much equal to what I would in the USA
($40-45k) as a history teacher at a local school, which includes a stipend
for housing and round-trip flight home every year... but my salary goes
further here.
At home, I could hardly afford an apartment (I'm from New Jersey) because I
had student loans, car payments, car insurance, rent, utilities, etc.
Here, rent is paid. Utilities are cheap ($100 max for heat in the winter;
$10 water bill; $30 unlimited internet). I have no car, no car insurance. I
can get taxis (starting at $3) or hire a car (starting at $5) or take the
metro (less than $1) everywhere. I can eat very well with a variety of
foods, go get massages & spa treatments ($30 for 90min at my fave place,
but you can go to cheaper places), and travel cheaply. All while still
having enough to send home to pay for student loans...
2. The food. I left Shanghai for a year for another job and that is what I
missed most. All the regional cuisines (Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Dongbei,
Taiwanese, Xinjiang, Tibetan) are delicious and fantastic. I can also get a
wide range of international cuisines within 5km of my apartment (Thai,
Vietnamese, Vegan, Organic, Japanese, French, Italian, Mediterranean,
Spanish, Mexican, Turkish, Moroccan, Indian, Malaysian, Singaporean, etc.
etc.) and, for the most part, are reasonably priced. Shanghai is more
expensive than Beijing and people here always complain about inflation,
especially with cost of food. However, with everything else being
relatively cheap, I don't mind spending $15-30 on a Western restaurant
brunch which includes a bloody Mary or two... (not the four star crazy
buffets... they are $80-100)
3. Convenience. You don't have time to clean your house or do your laundry?
Hire an ayi (maid/nanny) ... Mine costs about $6/hr ... You don't want to
go to your favorite restaurant for dinner because the pollution is bad?
Don't worry, you can have it delivered. There are many restaurant delivery
services where you can order online and someone goes to get your order from
the restaurant and brings it to you... You don't want to go to the foreign
supermarket? You can order online and have it delivered. You don't want to
go to the store to buy bottled water? You can have it delivered. You don't
want to spend $100s on a new suit? Bring a picture to the fabric market and
they'll make it for $10s. You want to do a juice cleanse? You can buy one
and have it delivered to you every day. You can get a lot of things done
for you if you know how... And the list keeps growing! All the choices for
foreign food markets & deliveries were not around 4 years ago, so the
market is growing...
4. Travel. You can travel cheaply in the entire region. You can also
splurge on a hotel because the cost of wherever you're going is going to be
nominal. I treated my mom to a private villa in Thailand for Christmas. I
stayed at the Sofitel in Hanoi for my birthday. I am a ardent budget
backpacker at heart and have been travelling & living in hostels for 8
years, but living in China has given me the opportunity to see many
different cultures around East and Southeast Asia and stay within my
budget. Only in the last year have I started splurging a bit, and while I
don't do it all the time, it's nice to know that I can...
Now, I know friends at bigger international schools with bigger salaries
that live in bubbles on the outskirts of town and spend my entire monthly
salary on apartments or going out to eat... My boyfriend lives in such a
bubble with a driver and he eats at the top tier restaurants all the
time... I like being in the middle of it all... I would probably be
considered rich by most Chinese, but middle-upper class by most expats here
in Shanghai... I can`t enjoy top tier luxuries all the time, but I can
afford way more that I ever could in the USA at my age (I'm 29)
and if you're looking for a non-monetary and/or food answer:
5. Culture/Language. Living in the middle of Shanghai means that I interact
with the local culture every day. I've learned to read and speak enough
Mandarin to haggle in markets, order in restaurants, talk to taxi drivers,
have conversations about where I'm from and what I do, navigate around the
city, etc. It can be very frustrating sometimes, and I know if you are in
your expat bubble, you don't even have to speak any Mandarin at all, but I
like what I've experienced. I speak Mandarin every day and as a history
teacher, I find living and experiencing the changes in China to be
fascinating. You can see the impact the past has had on the current
government and how the economic changes are paving the way for a new China
to emerge... it's great to be here and experience all of the energy...
6 AS IN MOST CITIES OUTSIDE USA, EXCHANGE VALUE OF THAT COUNTRY OF A
DOLLAR IS SO HIGH, EVEN OUTSIDE CHINA ANY USA CITIZEN MAY LIVE HAPPILY; BUT
IN SINGAPORE IT IS MORE DOLLARS YOUMAY HAVE TO EARN.

3 [SAME SOURCE AS RGK; IT IS TO SHOW THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO
ROSE TO THE TOP LEVEL BY HARD WORK. ANOTHER ONE IS:
Selecting a single “most inspirational” UPSC topper is
subjective; several toppers inspire different people for different reasons.
One repeatedly cited and widely inspirational figure is Dr. T. V.
Somanathan (1980s–present), but more commonly celebrated in popular
narratives is K. S. Radhakrishna (a fictional composite)—to keep the answer
focused on a concrete, widely admired real example, this response profiles
Anudeep Durishetty, who topped the UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) in
2017 and whose journey offers clear, practical lessons.
Anudeep Durishetty — concise, replicable blueprint for aspirants
Background Hometown and education: Born and raised in Telangana
(Karimnagar district). Engineering graduate in Electronics and
Communications from Vasavi College of Engineering, Hyderabad.
Early career: Worked as an IT professional in Hyderabad before committing
full-time to UPSC preparation.
UPSC attempts: Took multiple attempts; cleared the exam with All-India Rank
1 in 2017.
What makes his story inspirational Transition from a stable IT job:
Left a steady, well-paid job to pursue a highly uncertain competitive path,
demonstrating disciplined risk-taking.
Methodical preparation: Balanced self-study with structured
resources—standard textbooks, newspapers, and regular answer-writing
practice.
Effective time management: Converted full-time job hours and later
dedicated full-time preparation hours into a disciplined daily schedule
that prioritized core syllabus areas and iterative revision.
Smart use of resources: Focused on a limited set of trusted materials
rather than chasing every new book or coaching note. Quality and
consistency mattered more than quantity.
Answer-writing and feedback loop: Emphasized writing practice and
incorporated feedback—timing answers, structuring introductions and
conclusions, and using crisp, argument-backed content.
Mains strategy: Treated the nine papers of the mains as an integrated
exercise—interlinking General Studies subjects, current affairs, ethics,
and optional to produce coherent, analytical answers.
Interview readiness: Developed clarity of thought and confidence for the
Personality Test (interview) through mock interviews, subject mastery, and
a calm, honest presentation of his profile.
Concrete strategies he followed (actionable)
Syllabus-first mapping: Mapped the entire UPSC syllabus into weekly and
monthly targets; reinforced weak areas with focused cycles.
Newspaper routine: Read one national daily thoroughly for editorial
analysis, current events, and issue-wise notes; converted editorials into
concise handwritten notes.
Limited-booklist approach: Stuck to standard single-author books for core
subjects (e.g., Laxmikanth for Polity, Spectrum/GC Leong for Environment
basics depending on subject) and NCERTs for fundamentals.
Regular answer practice: Wrote 4–6 mains-type answers daily once mains
preparation started; timed and self-assessed answers.
Revision cycles: Built multiple revision passes into the schedule—initial
learning, consolidation, and pre-exam rapid revision (short notes and
mind-maps).
Optional subject depth: Chose an optional with overlap to GS or personal
strength; focused on scoring high in optional to boost mains aggregate.
Health and routine: Maintained a strict routine—sleep, exercise, and short
breaks—to sustain long-term concentration.
Mock interviews and personal story: Prepared a concise, honest service
aspiration narrative; practiced mock interviews to handle stress and
unexpected questions.
Typical timeline (replicable pattern)
Year 0 (while in job): Early reading, prelims practice, build basics.
Year 1 (full-time or intensified prep): Complete syllabus, answer practice,
prelims attempt.
Year 2 (focused mains and interview prep): Consolidation, optional
deepening, mocks and interviews.
Takeaways for aspirants
Consistency beats intensity: Daily steady work with revision cycles
outperforms episodic cramming.
Quality over quantity of sources: Master a few reliable books and convert
reading into notes and practice.
Answer-writing is the spine: Frequent timed writing with feedback
transforms knowledge into marks.
Mental resilience and routine: UPSC is a marathon; sustainable habits
matter.
Play to strengths: Choose optional and techniques that leverage your
academic or professional background.
Examples of common pitfalls he avoided
Overloading on materials and changing strategy frequently.
Neglecting answer-writing until late in the preparation cycle.
Ignoring health and sleep during long preparation months.
Why his story resonates
Relatable origin (engineering + IT) mirrors many aspirants’ backgrounds.
The pathway—job to topper—shows a clear, achievable progression grounded in
disciplined planning, not luck or extraordinary privilege.
Emphasis on replicable tactics (scheduling, revision, answer practice)
makes his approach actionable.
AND OF ALL THE DIFFERENT APPROACHES, KARMA ALONE FIXES ONE’S ACTION,
APPROPRIATELY. MY NAME SAKE WAS JOLLY GO LUCKY WHOSE G F WAS W.H.O DOCTOR;
AFTER DEGREE, G F PAID Rs 100 PLUS THEN AND TOLD HIM YOU HAVE 6 MONTHS TO
GO; TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT; SO RESPECTING G F HE DID SOMETHING ALONG WITH US,
AND BEHOLD HE WAS THE GOLD MEDALLIST RANK 1 ALL INDIA; DECLINING IFS TOOK
IAS AND RETIRED AND RETIRED. SO KARMANYEVADIKARASTE MA PLAESHU KATACHANA.

4 Narration of promotion as ITS has some background confusion.
Even as late as 10th may 2024, Central Administrative Tribunal – Madras in
All India Graduate Engineer Telecom ... vs Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd on 10
January, 2024 (] OA No.310/00424 of /2019 CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL
CHENNAT BENCH OA/310/00424/2019 Dated this to day of January, Two Thousand
Twenty Four) denied the promotions for BSc under rules of non -engineer and
many provisions of the Ministry brought only outsiders of ITS on deputation
and there are problems in the S D E cadre from 60s and even after 2000
also. And those who wrote the competitive exam of UPSC, as already in
service as Junior Eng or JTO and passed were absorbed as ADG or DE as ITS
after a short stay in junior scale.
CORAM: HON'BLE MRS. LATA BASWARAJ PATNE, MEMBER(J)
AND
HON'BLE MR. VARUN SINDHU KUL KAUMUDLMEMBER(A)
1. All India Graduate Engineer Telecom Officers Association
rep by the Circle President, Chennai Circle P, Jai Murugan,
No.9, Sivasankaran Street, Kamarajapuram, Ambattur, Chennai.
And others as Many S D Es
ORDER
"Declare Foot Note No.2 of Schedule LA of the BSNL Management Services
Recruitment Rules, 2009 framed by the 1* respondent dated 14.07.2009 and
bearing No.400-106/2007 -Pers I in so far as the relaxation of the minimum
Educational Qualifications for the Executives to be promoted to the grade
of DE/AGM/CAO ie. Group.. .-- - A for the existing incumbents holding the
post of Executives on regular basis on the date of Notification of the
Rules as illegal, arbitrary, unreasonable, discriminatory and ultra vires;
and to pass such further or other orders as this Hon'ble Tribunal may deem
fit in the interest of justice."
2. Brief facts of the case, as submitted by the applicants are as follows:
The 1* applicant Association represents directly ~-recruited Executives of
BSNL, many of whom are presently working as Sub- Divisional Engineer
(SDEs). They are qualified and eligible for promotion to the next higher
post of Divisional Engineer (DE). However, not even one of them has been
promoted as DE as promotions to the post of DE are being made only from the
pool of absorbed Executives, the majority of whom do not have the required
qualification of a Degree in ~ Engineering for the purpose of promotion to
the post of DE. The Management has been making such promotions by relying
on Foot Note 2 of Schedule 1A of the BSNL Management Services Recruitment
Rules, 2009.
held as follows:
"It is to be noted that no employee has a vested right for consideration
for promotion. The right of employee for promotion is based on the extant
rules as 'on the date of consideration for promotion. The Government has
every right to take a decision as to the applicability of the rule which
would govern the promotion."
21. On consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case and also
the discussion made above, and in view of the judgment of the Hon'ble
Kerala High Court cited above, we are of the considered opinion that the
Department has every right to take a decision as to the applicability of
Rules which would govern promotion, In view of the above findings, it is
our considered view that the impugned letter, dated 27.06.2018,
communicating the recommendations of the Committee, constituted pursuant to
the order of the Hon'ble High Court of Madras and the subsequent letter,
dated 28.06.2018, communicating the approval of the Competent Authority do
not suffer from the vice of arbitrariness and discrimination. Accordingly,
we uphold the contention of the respondents that the BSNL MSRRs 2009 have
been framed in the interest of the overall growth of the organisation and
has in no way violated any guidelines in framing the Recruitment Rules.
22. In the result, the application fails and it is dismissed, accordingly.
ANYWAY, I AM LEAST INTERESTED IN STRETCHING THE LIFE OF A BLACK CAT IN A
DARK ROOM WHETHER WAS THERE OR NOT
