  2. Happy Diwali, Sir, and may the future be one of peace, prosperity and above all, understanding...
    Imagine there's no heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today...

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace...

    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world...

    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will live as one

  6. Yes, its correct. We should always remember those we lost, cause they gave their life for us. They made us in army proud. Salute to each and every one of the martyrs and their families.

    As Lata Mangeshkar said
    " jab desh mai thi deewali
    Woh khel rahe thay holi
    jab hum baite thay gharo mai
    jo jhel rahe thay goli
    thay thanye jawan woh apne
    thi dhanya woh unki jawani
    jo shaheed hue hai unki
    zara yaad karo kubani "

  7. we should look after those who lost live and also those who are living because war cannot be won without your living soldiers and also nation cannot be protected without living soldiers who are ready to give ultimate sacrifice

  9. Sir,
    Heard in the capital that the benefits sanctioned to the family of Mr Rao,IFS who was killed in the first Kabul Blast is: Full pay with promotions, as pension upto 60 yrs as if Mr Rao is serving.

    Compare this with the benefits to the family of Brig who too was killed.

    It is also possible that a similar dipensation has been given to the IPS officers killed in 26/11.

    Wonder why we are unable to get such dispensation from the same competent authority, and why the family fending for oneself is the norm.

    I presume, that collectively we, the living have no time for they, the dead;

    GOD bless us!

    PS: Blessings of the LORD are available to the dead, the blessings of the LIVING are not available.

    OCCASIONAL SALUTING AT WAR MEMORIALS remain???

    That's why they say that a little knowledge is dangerous.

    This is a harsh rumour spread by vested interests.

    The CCS as well as the Armed Forces Pension Rules are absolutely same in this regard and both families have been disbursed similar (liberalised) pensions. No discrimination whatsoever. Thankfully we do not live in a banana republic.
