the Transfer season</font></b></font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">From Inspector to Commissioner, every one is worried about
the impending transfers. Rumours are doing frenzy rounds and our phones don't
stop ringing from eager aspirants and apparently disappointed wannabes. The
Departmental phones are busier. The Revenue targets of March are forgettable
history; what is important now is transfers. And only transfers! Transfer proposals are not
exactly a secret! North Block leaks worse than a sieve. Everybody knows
everything! But there can still be a slip between the proposal and the final
order. Everyone wants to be the first to know the latest on transfers. And for
some strange reason, there are people who believe that we will not reveal the
orders immediately after we know them. Please be assured that we will carry the
orders as soon as they are available. We will not delay even for a moment and
there is no need to call us. We will bring the orders to you as soon as they
are released, but before that, enjoy the Rumours - most of them are true! </font></p>
