The age Controversy

These days the media,Govt & people are reading & writting much about the age controvercy, the do's & the don't's. It seems the Congress led UPA govt's tough time is not nearing an end. After the graft cases, the black money & Anna and Lokpal saga & the latest issue of the Army Chief's age issue the govt seems to be divided & not supportive enough to fight on every front. More over the assembly elections in the few states too is creating a real pain in the congress ass. Led by the puppet & so called innocent PM, madam Antonio may be feeling low these days. Anyway let the central elections come it will surely pay heavily for all these issues. Lets jump to the current day's headline that the Army chief has moved to the supreme court against his own age row. 
       It was on wednesday the Army chief wrote a letter to he Defence Minister while his daughter filed a writ  petition in the controversy where the army chief faught a prolonged fight for changing his date of birth as 1951 in stead of 1950. In the neighbor where there is a political crisis & the army chief of that country making a buzz in the nation's politics here in India the age controversy has taken a very bad shape where the govt now is moving to take a tougher stand. While the chief said that its not the tenure he is looking at but its his reputation & credibility at stake. It is said that the chief who almost fought every fight for the country &  got appreciated for his tough job took the corrupt a tough ride & that is why he owes this from the most corrupt govt in the country. Wherein the govt now dont want to back out as its credibility will be again at stake if it bows to the chief.
I remember my father saying that he lost two years of his service because of his wrong date of birth and still he mulls the same mantra when he remembers his work-lif. It was the early four-tees where in rural areal people used word mouth as well to get the date of birth registered in the school entry form & at the school leaving the date of birth was on a documented sheet which got a supreme court signature to be considered as the date of birth for future services and that is how my father & probably the chief are taken as victims. Where my father due to health condition retired at the prescribed date the mighty chief chose to fight. Many has appreciated his courage & consider as his right to fight. But one can generally ask the chief what was he doing for such a log period of 35 yrs to get his age corrected on papers ? Its said that he got his last 3 promotions in the service basis his current DOB & in case his DOB could be corrected earlier he could not be the chief today.But where justice too takes a longer time to come in the country the chief too can get a logic to his delay as well. In country like ours where the PM avoids to intervene in issues unless until its going out of his hand, puppets like the ministries too take their chance everywhere to ruin the rest stand of the govt. 
  
What could be a beter way to deal it ; the ministry should intervene effectively & the army court & the ministry should work out much before to land on the a mutually agreed & law abiding decision. I can see a lot of lackness in the govt to get on to a decision as the case was long pending. And in the chief's turn he should push the govt for a swift decision or take a soft stand considering his present responsibility a the army chief. But if there is something else & the reason of the issue is not the DOJ issue & the issue of corruption  in cards why the chief of the most diciplined army in the country is taking one on one with the govt, then I respect the chief;s decision to go to the court. I personally feel that its not the DOJ but something else & I support the chief in his move. We must have faith on the judiciary system in a democracy like ours & lets wait for the court decision to have its say...

2012

To begin with the new year post, let me tell you a satisfying story... 

I remember i used to make resolutions for every new year to come & believe me its not months but in weeks i used to repent on them. Now when i think of those stupid resolutions i can stop laughing.But not only me but i think everybody makes resolutions at that age & laugh at my current age. I am just happy that i made the decisions to make resolution early & of course broke them all so early. But the happiest thing is that the brain chemicals were so developed at that point that a consciousness was there to make a better tomorrow as compared to today. Anyway its all gone now & in this new year of 2012 i have no resolutions but few revelations. 

In the year 2011 whatever I planned, it worked my way and I am happy for this. I have raised the bar this time to get things better this year too. Apart from professional & personal goals this year I have added a social goal as well. Hold on ! this has nothing to do with the social networking site hence please spare me. Really i have understood my part of the social responsibility & will contribute in my own little way.

Its not a bad news at all that in the beginning of this year Typhoid has found its stay in me & yes I am on tablets to throw it out. I wish Typhoid a brief stay & quick relief. I have come a long way to a n offering mode now. Next I will try to make people happy with life & make them realize this too. I will be visiting my parents this year and thank god for this opportunity to be with them. I plan to go for " jagannath Darshan' with my mother & hope I can make it a better time for her. I have something for my brothers too & I hope they will like this time. 

Professional career will be at a higher concern this year as its time for the next move & I may open my arms for better moves with higher opportunities.With raising the bar for a better career of course comes higher responsibilities, hence a tougher mental gesture is in the cards.

This year along with a busier carer move I have to plan for a better leisure in the wee months & a spiritual tour to provide a better to the brain & soul.I plan to go to Sri Ranganathaswamy temple in Trichy & the much asked Golden Temple in Amritsar. Other holy places may drag me to their feet as my mind is a Slave's playground where the almighty lord is the real Boss.Well this year I plan to change a perception changed about me & need best wishes too. I may seem to be a better mature man but I will have to put efforts to keep me still alive & be humorous as well. 

Finally let me wish you all a very happy & fulfilling new year.
May god bless us all...
