THAT INEPT SAINT ANTONY
That inept 'Saint Antony'
July 29, 2016 08:59 IST
'It was almost as though there was widespread relief that the defence bureaucracy, and the minister, could find someone willing to shoulder the blame for everything that had gone wrong with the services under Antony's charge -- the poor preparedness of the forces, slow acquisitions caused by indecision, cancellation of contracts and whimsical blacklisting of defence contractors over the tiniest suspicion that they may have paid speed money or kickbacks.'

AGING GRACEFULLY
https://naraharig.org/2016/07/16/ageing-gracefully/
AGEING GRACEFULLY
It is a universal truth, that you age with time, if you are lucky ! What I meant is some of us may not be lucky enough to see ourselves getting old. In your 30s to 50s you are behind career, money, achievement of goals, power, ability to direct – individuals, families, teams, corporations, society and even nations whatever they might be. You behave as though you were neither young, nor will age with time. Somehow you feel the clock will stop here and will achieve what you had thought of and will continue to do so.
As you reach 60s, you look back and you have lost some, gained some and over all it has evened out, and there comes the time where you have nothing to think of to do, or go after. You have had your time in Sun, made most of the opportunity, and life hits you hard and staring at you for next 20-30 years at least, where you do not control anything not even individuals in the family, kids are caught up in their routine, plenty of time to achieve their goals and aspirations, and not much time for anything else. Sounds familiar! Right ?.

NDA- AMITABH BACHHAN'S TALK
AMITABH BACHAN’s TALK AT NATIONAL DEFENCE ACADEMY
‘It would be a travesty
against your honour but to speak plainly here among you. You are the ultimate
guardians of our nation, our culture, our civilisation. As guardians, you are not only trained as preservers
of our peace, but also as warriors for our battle. You are not only trained to
protect life, but to take life, and give your own. Your vocation is our life
and our death, both collectively and individually.’
