Terrorism and how we deal with it.

Terrorism and How India Deals With It.


Enough is enough. We had too much of it. Terror and terrorist activities. Political Rhetoric.We will do this.We will do that. Finally we did nothing. City after City becomes victim of Terrorists. We fall an easy prey to the Terrorists,thanks to the inaction of our Government.


Lets delete from our dictionaries the prefixes like “Hindu” and “Muslim” Terrorists. Irrespective of the caste or religion to which he belongs,a Terrorist is a Terrorist. And he has to be accordingly dealt with. With an Iron Hand and a Resolve that we will wipe out Terror from our land.

Lets create an independent investigative agency with the Authority of a Constitutional Functionary like the Supreme Court or the Comptroller and Auditor General Of India. It reports directly to the Prime Minister. And he should take whatever appropriate action that is required without hesitation,fear or favour as per the Oath Of Office he swears before signing as the Prime Minister of this Country. Politics should never be allowed to creep into it,when the lives of Citizens is at Stake. Vote Bank or no Vote Bank,investigations must be carried out and necessary,timely action taken in utmost secrecy and speed.

Lets get our Act together.Lets stop conducting post mortems and mud slinging exercises. These are futile and counter productive.

The Citizens of India want stern steps to combat terrorism and save further Bomb Blasts.

Lets tell the World at Large and the Terrorists Outfits,wherever they are that now we mean business. Let them Beware of India.

REVIVE.

Reunion Of Vizag Veterans.

It was an idea developed by my close friend and long time colleague in Indian Oil, for over 35 years.

He is none other than Sri R V Rao. Senior Manager (Sales) Retd.

When he retired in 1995, from Southern Regional Office in Chennai, little did we imagine that he would come up with a concept of reuniting old friends in such a novel and delightful manner.

The idea struck a deep chord of yearning in all those who long for meeting old friends. Very soon the idea mooted by Sri R V Rao found universal acceptance amongst like minded friends and it was decided to give the idea a try.

The concept was that every year all those friends who started their careers in Vizag Divisional Office area, during the Sixties, or worked in the Vizag D O area,in the formative years of Indian Oil, would meet for two days in a pre-determined place and just spend time as they like it. The programme is to meet, relax, spend time As You Like It. For two days. Talk, play cards, crack jokes and enjoy the leisure in all its glory.

The first REVIVE Meet was held at Vijayawada.

It was a runaway Success. And every year after that we have been meeting at various places,Beach Resorts,Hill Stations,Pligrim Centres and what have you.



Every participant reaches the appointed place on his own T A / D A and also contributes equally for the 2 days of enjoyment. No obligation,whatsoever. Only full satisfaction. Then we all disperse to meet next year for yet another REVIVE Meet.

Every one eagerly and anxiously looks forward for the next REVIVE. Its so enjoyable. And every REVIVE Meet has not less than 15 members minimum participating enthusiastically. More and more people join,every year. That’s the Spirit of REVIVE.

Re-Inventing Secularism

Re-Inventing Secularism.


The Andhra Pradesh Govt.has issued an Order forming the Andhra Pradesh Christian Finance Corporation. This is to meet the needs of the Christians of A P to come up economically.

Also the A P Govt. will take the First Batch of Christians on a Pilgrimage Of the Holy Places in Israel some time in the end of November .

This is the Congress Govt.’s most Secular Act since it re-invented the concept of Secularism.

Christian Community in general was never called a backward community or lacking in economic well being. The Christians wherever they are, are a well placed, self-reliant and resourceful people.They find employment and lead Dignified Lives without looking for Alms. At least a vast majority of Christians. The small number of unfortunates are well taken care of by the affluent majority Christians since the community, as such, is known for its well knit links. They are a self esteem loving, proud, class of people.

Such a community is being taught, now, by the Congress to live on alms, Govt.Financing and Subsidies. Thanks to the re-invention of the Secularism Concept.

One wonders,which will be the next Community that will be taken up before the 2009 Elections for help and upliftment.

We,the Citizens of this Great Sovereign Democratic Republic Of India need to do some introspection as to, to what extent we can distribute the Government Funds for such worthy Causes.
