Birth Anniversary of Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, PVC (posthumous)

Today is the birth Anniversary of Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, Param Vir Chakra (posthumous). He is the only PVC recipient from the Indian Air Force. 

During a surprise attack by Pakistan, the Indian pilots in Srinagar were ordered to take shelter but Sekhon managed to take off in his Gnat. He single-handedly chased away a strike force comprising four F-86F Sabres of Pakistani Air Force's 26 Squadron (Black Spiders). "I am behind two Sabres. I won't let the bastards get away". Sekhon achieved his objective as the enemy aircrafts fled from the scene of the battle without pressing home their attack against the town and the airfield however, Sekhon was killed in the process.

Pakistan Defence website describes him as "His was a commendable effort indeed, as he had kept the field single-handedly to the very end" and "Some enemies are also Respectable"!!!

Almost perfect Wimbledon weekend. Serena won, Paes won, Sumit Nagal won. Federer's victory would have called for celebrations but Djokovic came and stepped on the cake!!!

I gave up drinking beer and Mallya lut gaya. I gave up drinking alcohol and Old Monk is going down. Come on India. Itni khush-haali aa gayi India mein ki kisi ko koi gham nahi hai???!!! Logon ka break-up bhi nahi ho raha kya??? #GhamKaSaathiRum #OldMonk #BuddhaBhikshukRocks

The best Men's and Women's players in the history of tennis have cruised into the final weekend of Wimbledon 2015. Roger Federer and Serena Williams. Time/Age is failing to catch up with them. Their stats, consistency and longevity are truly amazing. Looking forward to watching both matches. And Paes is in finals as well!!!

Death Anniversary of Captain Vikram Batra

On this day, back in 1999, we lost Captain Vikram Batra, PVC. A true hero. "Ya toh Tiranga lehraake aaunga, ya phir Tirange mein lipta hua aaunga, lekin aaunga zaroor"

We salute you 'Sher Shah' and you will always be missed. "Yeh Dil Maange More!"

Breakfast at Sangeetha's

A few years back I had read somewhere that if Bill Gates gave everyone on Earth $10 on Christmas, he’d still have $2.26 billion left (Not sure if its factually correct). Glad that #AAPtards, #CONgress and #Presstitutes did not read this analogy else they would have started beating their chests asking how come $10 has not been distributed to everyone so far!!!

Case Study

This is a case study of a business unit which had been continuously failing to meet its objectives. The employees were quite unhappy. The employees strongly believed that the management was not capable of reviving the situation. They demanded a change and forced the board to bring in a new management. 

The new management did a thorough analysis and found out that the existing resources are not sufficient to turnaround the situation. Instead of focusing entirely on 'managing' the existing resources and 'surviving', the new management gave high importance to improving the confidence of investors and in attracting the much needed investments. At the same time, they ensured that the internal situation does not get neglected and worsen.

The new management took several quick actions intended towards a long-term and all encompassing growth. With lot of efforts, they managed to improve the perception of investors and struck several deals with potential investors. It was decided that the funding would come in phases and would help in growing the business and in ensuring the welfare of the employees.

In the next AGM, they announced the plans and provided the details of the deals to the board as well as employees. But certain section of employees started questioning that if so many deals have been struck then how come the situation has not 'already' improved. It was explained to them that the investments would pour in steadily and it is a 'process'. It made complete business sense as that is the way businesses as well as economies work. Yet a certain section of the employees was not ready to understand and appreciate it. On top of it, some of them demanded instant results, freebies, bonuses, incentives. It was again explained to them by the management as well as some of the employees that the company cannot afford freebies. Also that the revival cannot happen overnight. Yet, some employees refused to buy that. 

Question (select all that are applicable):

1. Those employees are dumb. They should be given a dunce cap
2. Those employees are close to the earlier management and are intentionally creating unrest
3. Those employees should be completely ignored
4. Those employees had an overdose of 'Panchtantra' and 'Dada Dadi ki Kahaniyaan' in their childhood

I do not give a rat's ass to political opinion of people who 'choose' not to  vote for anyone as standing in a queue is too downmarket for them. These pseudo intellectuals just crib about anything and everything. Present them with facts and figures and they discount them. They do not form governments and they do not bring them down. They do not matter!!! Another 'breed' that I do not care about is the one that forms opinions through ScoopWhoop.com!!! More often than not, its the same bunch of people in both sets!!! (Disclaimer: This is NOT a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely INTENTIONAL)

Had 'discussions' with 2 'people' regarding the controversy over Modi's comment and his performance so far. After I countered them on each and every point and when they had nothing left to say/argue, one unfriended me and the other blocked me!!! Ok.....Good riddance!!!

Aaj Phir Dil Ne Ek Tamanna Ki,
Aaj Phir Dil Ko Hamne Samjhaaya....

Today is the 101 birth anniversary of Field Marshal Sam Hormusji Framji Jamshedji Manekshaw or 'Sam Bahadur'. A great leader and inspiration. "There will be no withdrawal without written orders and these orders shall never be issued" - He said that after taking over a corps which was retreating in 1962 war.

Rajasthan forest authorities have found a suicide note written by a black buck "I am committing suicide, Salman Khan should not be blamed". (Source: WhatsApp) #GhantaBeingHuman

So Salman Khan's driver has taken the bullet!!! He has 'confessed' that he was driving the car at the time of the accident. Awesome. And I am sure, Salman killed the blackbuck in self-defense. #KyaChutiyaapaHai

Dear God, please let it be a repeat of the 1983 final. Same score (183) to defend. May the Black Caps win. 

Aur issi ke saath Bharatiye cricket team ka rangarang karyakram samapt hua!!!

I felt worse after the NZ vs SA match. India was never in this game and they could not put up a fight at all. Its end of an unexpected and great campaign. No shame in losing to a quality side. Hope NZ lifts the cup. Go Kiwis, show the world that the Kiwis can fly!!!
