Can Admiral S..M.Nanda get his due ?
There is a general feeling among naval officers,both serving & retired. They feel "it is a matter of concern to us retired navy officers that the contribution of our service to the nation during 1971 remains unrecognized. No single person represents our achievements more than the 92 year old Padma Vibhushan Admiral SM Nanda, who was the Chief of Naval Staff at such a crucial stage in Indian history." The navy played a very significant role in the liberation of Bangladesh by fighting and winning the sea battle in two war theatres simultaneously. The navy's plans and their execution were bold, daring, novel and innovative and they were carried out fearlessly, resolutely and very courageously.

As CNS, Adm Nanda was at the helm and responsible. The success of the navy remains unrecognised. Adm Nanda deserves to be made an Admiral of the Fleet.Even the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had lavishly showered praise on him for his power & grit.
A section of retired naval officers feel he has been accused of many things in his life but nothing ought to detract from his achievements. He deserves to be at par with Field Marshal Manekshaw ( Army) who was his 1971 counterpart and Marshal of the Air Force Arjan Singh who was junior to him. His IAF counterpart was the late Air Chief Marshal PC Lal.

FORUM
Why Assam, same situation in J & K !
Same is the situation prevailing in other states also. In J&K very few AIS officers are heading districts while nearly all posts of DCs SPs and DFOs are cadre posts. Actually local provincial services officers are more suitable for local politicians hence preferred.
Ajay

Look at Sikkim also !
What about Sikkim where IAS officers are not needed and many major departments are held by Engineers, IFS and IPS officers. And some officers never seem to retire.
S Mishra

This is a good trend
That's a very good trend. State officers work throughout their career in state and have a better understanding of over all situation.
ABC (Name not mentioned )
Medical fitness is necessary
Medical fitness in civil services is a prerequisite. However, the criterion to be observed is the nature of job assigned to the person concerned. For example, a person requiring to perform work of secretarial nature may not be subjected to the medical standard required for onerous field duties. Instances are there where persons with heart ailments or TB patients have done exceedingly well in the desks after medical treatment because of their sincerity and hard work.

people to share it with." .... This is One of the nicest Mails I have ever seen:

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around.
We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.
My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world. Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.
Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and
delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again
how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. "How is it that? There's no work going on here?" I asked.
"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.
"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.
"Simple," the angel answered. "Just say, "Thank you, Lord"
"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep .. you are richer than 75% of this world."
"If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy."
"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."
Also "If you woke up this morning with more health than illness....! you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day. "
"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 700 million people in the world"
"If you can attend a church meeting without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death . you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people
in the world."
"If your parents are still alive and still married .. you are very rare."
"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you are unique
to all those in doubt and despair."

"Ok, what now? How can I start? "
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

ATTN: Acknowledgement Department - Thank You Lord!

"Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful

Aaj Ki Aawaz
Third Phase of voting in UP and BJP seems to be running in front,
And SP is way back in the hunt!!!

BJP will do better than is being projected,
And SP will be more emphatically rejected!!!

Rahul Baba was sick and for a scheduled rally Laloo replaced him,
Now this is something very grim!

They should have found someone else to do this,
Laloo should have been given the miss!!

First they made him a laughing stock by the statements they made him make,
And now with Laloo replacing him they've literally put on his face cake!!!

Seems Laloo was not in the know about Rahul Vani,
Now Laloo is lamenting ' Maine inn ki bath kyon maani'!!!

Rahul should change his style….. people want more,
Now breaking the security ring drama to meet public karta hai public go bore!!!

Now they want Politicians to speak on issues that matter,
Don't want to hear form them useless chatter!!!

And now the Public knows who is with them and who is a migratory bird,
Remember Public has the last word!!

Mulayam's bro says that people ne kood kood ke SP ke liye kia hai vote,
Actually he meant to say people kood kood ke lethe hai note!!!

And despite taking notes now many people go and vote for candidate of their choice,
Many of them now listen to their inner voice!!!

Some of them vote for the candidate who pays more…. in cash or kind,
Automatically their finger karti hai highest bidder ka button on EVM find!!!

Mulayam should ban his bro from appearing on TV news and talk shows,
The man really makes SP hit new lows!!!

SC has told Sarkaar that in OBC matter nothing is new,
Hope Sarkaar takes the cue!!!

Said ' it was a Order and not advise',
Cut Sarkaar down to size!!!

SC has rejected Sarkaar's petition for vacating on OBC quota stay,
For stay shown Sarkaar bahar ka way!!!

Now on April 23rd Sarkaar will hear HRD Ministry's plea,
Abh aap ka kya hogaa Arjun ji!!!!

Fact is Quota was cobbled up for Political mileage in a hurry,
Many facts HRD Ministry chose to bury!!!

Punjab's FM wants CM to look at the financial condition of the State,
He warns finances are in a dismal state!!

Sops that have been announced are to the tune of Rs. 4000 crores,
And Punjab's FM worriedly peeks out of the empty Treasury's doors!!

News is that with Sukhbir some Developers have 'made peace'!!!
And now have got for their Projects life ki new lease!!!

Taking a cue Amrinder and Chahal may try to do the same????
And if this is done then all that will happen will be a blame game!!!

Till 31st July Kingpin Amrinder has got bail,
Pawns Chowdhary Jagjit Singh and Hanspal ki bail application ho gayi fail!!!

Isn't it odd that Kingpin gets bail,
And pawns ki bail application ho jaye fail????

Chahal's Medical Certificate says he a Government employee cum businessman,
On Government employees doing business isn't there a ban????

Now Kamalnath says that Sarkaar can review SEZ size,
Don't think at this juncture making such a statement is wise!!!

Seems Reliance has got its way,
Or more appropriately Reliance has got its say!!!

Nath says that once rehab policy is in place,
'Select promoters' will get form Sarkaar on size restriction some grace!!!

Reliance has its point of view ….. but Sarkaar needs to realize big is not always best,
India has its own problems and we should not ape China or the West!!!

Pragmatism is at present limit the size,
This would be termed as being wise size- wise!!!

Are Clintons or Blairs Big B's acquaintances or pals… former is the case???
But seems Big B wanted to outdo Hindujas in the big names race!!!

Hinduja marriages have galaxy of Leaders......global political who's who attend,
That's why to Clinton and Blair ko invitation Big B ne kiya send!!

And if I was in Big B's place I would have ensured that marriage was telecast live,
Share my moment of happiness with people on account of whose prayers I'm alive!!

Seems Big B is going to lose fans left and right,
Because the hand that has fed him uss hand ko kiya with his privacy fixation Big B ne bite!!!!

Hungama hai kyon parwah pappi joh Gere ne lee,
Dakaa toh nahi daala chori toh nahi kee!!!

And when Shilpa is raazi,
Than why is Shiv Sena trying to be a Kazi???

But seriously...... both Shilpa and Gere should have avoided this,
Should have given the multi chummas a miss!!!
