Mustn't all Good Things Come To an End!?
.
.
Dear Veterans,.
The time now is 17.47PM
.
However, Just 7(Seven) minutes ago, I just happened to stumble on a Spl Pgmme being aired by DD-1 in which The Air Chief was interacting with School Kids . COAS did engage the children quite well , motivating them in a manner suitable for the occasion.
.
To a pointed querry from one of the Kids;" Sir there is lot of talk about OROP. What is your view on this?" The COAS who is also the Chair of the COS Committee replied; "I think it is a good idea. But we have to see whether the Govt can afford it or the Govt will go BANKRUPT".
.
To another querry;" Sir you are interacting with Beauraucrats & the Govt at the highest level. What is the experience like?" he said;" You see b4 becoming Air Chief I thought very poorly of them because I never had any direct interaction with them. But now I realise that they , especially the ones at the top are really, really good. They are extremely knowledgeable, perhaps more than us about our job". (Hum! already booking the ticket for a post retirement - - - - - - ) HOWZZAT!!.
.
With well wishers like, this do we & our cause need enemies?

All this can be extrapolated to arrive at the Naked Truth of our current plight. The saddest part is that no serving as on to-day would buy any of these tales , and therefore we have to continue as suckers.
.
See you all in the next rebirth , may be with better prospects like our neighbours.
.
With sincere Regards and wishing all the worst.

Dear VPS,
.
Well said and how right you are? I think we can now do different and better things than searching mails day after day, hoping to hear any good news about our cause from the Government, IESM or the IESL or any other quarter. We certainly had no hopes on the serving Chiefs as it is. We can at best now have a hope on the Apex Court and its directions after 8 Nov. I have a fear, that even if a fresh Pay Commission is formed, the present hierarchy of Defence Services wont do much for the Veterans. The Veterans, if they can include a sensible representative will perhaps have to fight their own battles, especially of justifying the OROP.
.
Before the next rebirth we have to have a transit halt at e Hell or Heaven, where also our claims of stay may be rejected, because we have been idling/doing nothing worthwhile for so many years and not used to work at all. A minimum requirement of Jhadu - Pocha - cleaning and dusting would be there in Hell also.

Cheers

Disgusting to say the least!!! Can't such blokes be barebottomed and spanked ???

Well done Veteran Nair in bringing it to the notice of all. It should be widely circulated to expose the spineless commanders

I am really surprised at the comments from our veterans about the interaction of the Air Chief with some School Kids. We may be frustrated on many counts but that need not entail us openly express immature comments. What do you as a mature person, will say to these kids or even expect a Chief who is heading a prestigious organisation reply to a question posed by a School boy?. Should he say that "OROP is a Good Concept and Govt should immediately approve it". As regards to other question regarding Bureaucrats , do you expect him to say that " I am dealing with them regularly. But I find them totally clueless". Common on friends. Let us display some maturity. Let us not call our commanders as "spineless" based on some interaction with School Kids. Sorry to be frank in expressing my views in this open forum. *
