White towels are a legacy of British era, when there were few roads, fewer cars and no ACs. Officer toured on horses and towels were an integral part of hygiene routine.

British left, horses were sent away, but towels stayed!

It’s not just towels, the size of tables and colour of ink are also defined by hierarchy.

When I was working at Joint Secretary level with the Vice President of India, I had to fight a stiff battle of sorts to order a smaller table that would fit better in my office. The system would not approve of a smaller table!

Regarding the colour of ink to be used for noting and signature, Sh. Arun Shourie has written a hilarious, if not ridiculous, memoir as minister.

In 1999, two officers in the Ministry of Steel made notings on files using red and green ink.

This raised a furore as they were junior officers. The seniors were scandalised and an enquiry was initiated.

India’s bureaucracy spent 13 months debating which colour ink officers could use on files.

The enquiry was routed through several ministries and departments:

Ministry of Steel wrote to Dept of Administrative Reforms

It referred to Directorate of Printing (ink experts)

Printing referred to Dept of Personnel & Training (DoPT)

DoPT threw the ball back: “it’s your Manual, you decide”

National Archives was consulted for longevity of ink colours

Ministry of Defence consulted for Army ink hierarchy

Conclusion after 13 months: juniors wrote in blue-black or blue ink, because that has the longest life of impression. In British era, the files had to travel to Britain, so juniors would write in ink that would stay for the longest.

The top brass would sign in green and red.

Ruling:

Two new paras were added to the manual of office procedure:

Para 32(9) says that only officers of Joint Secretary level and above may use red or green ink, and that too only in rare cases. Para 68(5), on the other hand, does not limit the use of these colours to any particular rank (as modern ball pen ink have no issues of shelf life for any colour!)

The white towel on the officer’s chair. The red telephone on the desk. The peon standing at the door. The green ink reserved for the senior sahib.
These are not accidents of history. They are architecture, the physical grammar of a bureaucratic culture that worships hierarchy.

Why am I having to tell a stranger how many people are in my party? Shouldn’t I already have a table, people waiting at it, with (half-eaten) plates of food atop it?

[maneer putter @mutter__paneer]

Being the first to arrive, well, anywhere, is a bit odd. This is likely the first time I ever have and last time I ever will have (at least for a long time) done so.

@JioCare @reliancejio My WiFi has not been functioning. I have tried raising a complaint, calling your executives (who seemingly don’t exist), sending you an email (to which I have received an automated response).

Send someone over immediately or give me credit for wasted days.

@TheVijayMallya Congratulations, Vijay bhai. Personally, I was supporting PBKS. But it’s heart-warming to see you happy. Many congratulations. Hope to see you soon.
