AMAZING FROZEN LEMONS

Place the washed lemon in the freezer.
Once frozen, get your grater, & shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods!
On vegetables, salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce,
rice, sushi, fish dishes, ... the list is endless.

All the foods will get an unexpected wonderful taste!

Most likely, you only think of lemon juice as vitamin C ??
Not anymore!

SAM'S DRIVER

Interview of F M SAM MANEKSHAW'S driver !!

Nitin Gokhale recalls an encounter with a driver who drove one of India's most-loved soldiers, Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, for 22 years.
On April 3, 2013, Field Marshal S H F J 'Sam' Manekshaw would have turned 100. He passed away five years before his centenary.
But in Wellington, the quaintly beautiful cantonment town in the Nilgiris, where the field marshal retired to, his memories live on. 

VETERANS - ORGANISATIONAL BONDING

Veterans And Organisational Bonding: A Unique Blessing

Maj Gen Mrinal Suman

The day we joined the academy, we were told to take pride in the fact that we had opted for the noblest profession in the world – the profession of arms that ensures security of our country. We were also counselled that soldiering was a package deal with its minuses and pluses. The minuses exist due to the exigencies of service (threat to life, hardships, frequent transfers, separations and so on) and these have to be endured. However, the pluses outweigh the minuses by a huge margin: organisational cohesion being the most crucial one as it facilitates development of life-long bonds, both social and emotional.

GREAT STORY

A great story with a moral

But the pear would not go down my throat.... Author unknown.... It was the summer of 67 I was all of sixteen years old, had just finished my schooling from a prestigious boarding school and was on a sabbatical working out what to do with my life. My father was a colonel in the army and had a year to go before retirement. We were living in a comfortable government bungalow in Ajmer but as far as material luxuries go, we didn't have much; no car, no scooter and no refrigerator either – the status symbols of those days. Television had not yet spread its wings in the country and a small transistor radio was our means of keeping in touch with the rest of the world. We however, felt no sense of deprivation and the lack of amenities perhaps spurred our innate abilities to keep ourselves occupied in more meaningful ways.

ENGLISH IS VERY EASY

You think English is easy?

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture..
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert..
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.

FUTURE PREDICTIONS

FUTURE PREDICTIONS:
In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide.  Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they went bankrupt. What happened to Kodak will happen in a lot of industries in the next 10 years - and most people don't see it coming. Did you think in 1998 that 3 years later you would never take pictures on paper film again? Yet digital cameras were invented in 1975. The first ones only had 10,000 pixels, but followed Moore's law. So as with all exponential technologies, it was a disappointment for a long time, before it became way superior and got mainstream in only a few short years. It will now happen with Artificial Intelligence, health, autonomous and electric cars, education, 3D printing, agriculture and jobs. Welcome to the 4th Industrial Revolution. Welcome to the Exponential Age.

Software will disrupt most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years.

THE FOLLY OF AHIMSHA

LALA LAJPAT RAI'S COMMENT ON THE FOLLY OF AHIMSHA

 http://indiafacts.org/cow-protection-mahatma-gandhi-appeasing-muslims-bullying-dalits/

            Gandhi proclaims the cow to be more of a mother to a Hindu than his biological mother, that cow-slaughter is equivalent to man-slaughter, yet he wants the Hindu to merely supplicate to save the mother-cow from slaughter. This, then, was the essence of his Ahimsa – enervating of the Hindus. The absurdity of the Gandhian Ahimsa, or any other form of ahimsa taken to an extreme, has been best articulated by Lala Lajpat Rai, who had himself hailed from a Jain family (Jainism upheld Ahimsa as its very essence):

MILITARY - POLITICAL HEIRARCHY IN INDIA

Dear Sir,  you are aware of the political hierarchy here in India. 
We have clue less politicians who have zero knowledge about the armed forces,  hence the bureaucrats who too have zero understanding and being close to them ill advise them for their own advantage and benefit.  Shashtri ji was ill advised and at Tashkent returned crucial Hazipur pass in 1965 back to Pak through which  infiltation is taking place for the past so many years into J and K.  Similarly in 1971, Indira gandhi was ill advised to return 100 thousand PAK prisoners of War in return for nothing,  all their military eqpt and weapons were also returned.  You can imagine we could have traded to get back entire Kashmir for such a large chunk of their men wbich included so many Generals as well.

SURGICAL STRIKE

Well articulated Maj Gaurav Arya ....

Today evening, as I parked my car in front of gate no. 9 and walked into South Block (Indian Army Headquarters), I looked up at the grey-golden New Delhi sky. I tried hard to see if Pakistani nuclear warheads were slamming into the ground and if Chinese paratroopers were really landing atop Rashtrapati Bhawan. I saw neither. I shrugged my shoulders, smiled, and walked inside AHQ for that obligatory cup of black coffee (always without sugar), and the much-needed camaraderie. I found both. The Indian Army never disappoints.

Forces: Stall pay revision till anomalies removed

 Forces: Stall pay revision till anomalies removed 
 The armed forces have upped the ante in their ongoing struggle for resolution of "core anomalies" in their salary packages by asking the Centre to keep in "abeyance" the implementation of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) for them.                Sep 11 2016 : The Times of India (Delhi) BY Rajat Pandit, NEW DELHI

http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31808&articlexml=Forces-Stall-pay-revision-till-anomalies-removed-11092016008023





The Army , Navy and IAF headquarters have also issued signals to their 14 lakh personnel to hold their peace till they get the Centre to resolve the persisting anomalies.
Though couched in conciliatory terms, the signals are reflective of the widespread outrage in the military over how successive panels have degraded its status, parity and equivalence compared to civilian counterparts.
For instance, one of the signals issued on Friday -to personnel deployed in different operational commands, formations and units around the country -says: "In the interim, personnel are expected to display maturity and patience, and not be swayed by hearsay or speculative reports from any quarter."
"The signals are meant to calm down restive personnel by telling them the Service HQs are raising with the government the pay anomalies that need to be resolved.

However, after retirement many of us do not display the same meticulousness in our personal affairs.

When the unexpected happens, the NOK are left to clear an unimaginable tangle of legal and financial issues. It is obviously our responsibility towards our loved ones to organise our personal affairs, while we are still in good health, so that our NOK can receive assets as smoothly as possible.

MESSIEST CHAPTER

Why one of the messiest chapters in Indian army history refuses to be closed

 http://scroll.in/article/814386/why-one-of-the-messiest-chapters-in-indian-army-history-refuses-to-be-closed

The defence ministry continues to back the current Army Chief, even though it means questioning the role of one of his predecessors, now a sitting minister.

                                                                   Saikat Datta 

It is unprecedented in the annals of post-Independence India for a serving Army Chief to file an affidavit in the Supreme Court accusing a predecessor – or a serving minister – of impropriety.  In this case, it happens to be a predecessor and a serving minister.

LETTER FROM ISHWAR FOR YOU

प्रभू का पत्र

मेरे प्रिय...
सुबह तुम जैसे ही सो कर उठे, मैं तुम्हारे बिस्तर के पास ही खड़ा था। मुझे लगा कि तुम मुझसे कुछ बात
करोगे। तुम कल या पिछले हफ्ते हुई किसी बात या घटना के लिये मुझे धन्यवाद कहोगे। लेकिन तुम फटाफट चाय पी कर तैयार होने चले गए और मेरी तरफ देखा भी नहीं!!!

फिर मैंने सोचा कि तुम नहा के मुझे याद करोगे। पर तुम इस उधेड़बुन में लग गये कि तुम्हे आज कौन से कपड़े पहनने है!!!

फिर जब तुम जल्दी से नाश्ता कर रहे थे और अपने ऑफिस के कागज़ इक्कठे करने के लिये घर में इधर से उधर दौड़ रहे थे...तो भी मुझे लगा कि शायद अब तुम्हे मेरा ध्यान आयेगा,लेकिन ऐसा नहीं हुआ।

फिर जब तुमने आफिस जाने के लिए ट्रेन पकड़ी तो मैं समझा कि इस खाली समय का उपयोग तुम मुझसे बातचीत करने में करोगे पर तुमने थोड़ी देर पेपर पढ़ा और फिर खेलने लग गए अपने मोबाइल में और मैं खड़ा का खड़ा ही रह गया।

Introductory remarks: This testimony arises from three premises.

GEETA - CRUX

The Lord said :

Whatever happened in the past, it happened for the good; Whatever is happening, is happening for the good; Whatever shall happen in the future, shall happen for the good only. Do not weep for the past, do not worry for the future, concentrate on your present life.

What did you bring at the time of birth, that you have lost? What did you produce,  which is destroyed? You didn't bring anything when you were born. Whatever you have, you have received it from the God only while on this earth. Whatever you will give, you will give it to the God. Everyone came in this world empty handed and shall go the same way. Everything belongs to God only.
Whatever belongs to you today, belonged to someone else earlier and shall belong to some one else in future. Change is the law of the universe.

You are an indestructible Soul & not a body. Body is composed of five elements - Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Sky; one day body shall perish in these elements.

UNDERSTANDING BALUCHISTHAN

Will India do a 1971 and get Independence to Baluchistan?

Mohammed Rafiq Sethi, I was born there.

Before I answer this question, let me describe Baluchistan. People here in Quora think that Baluchistan is also some territory that is similar to Bangladesh, i.e. it is teeming with millions of people who are tired of oppression from the center that is dominated by Punjabis. The Pakistani army is killing the Baluch people and their houses are being burned and destroyed, their women are being raped, the place is littered with bodies, and there are rivers of blood flowing. The schools are closed and the communication is cut off while the army and the police are killing dozens of people protesting for their rights. The Punjabis are stealing their natural resources and not giving anything back. The hospitals are full of the wounded and the orphanages don't know what to do with parent-less children. The neighboring countries have millions of Baluch refugees and Pakistan Air Force routinely bombs their camps in Iran and Afghanistan. Some Baluch are fleeing their homeland in boats and the Arabian Sea is full of boat people trying to land on the shores of Iran, Oman, Yemen and Somalia and even beyond. Human Rights groups are condemning the Pakistani atrocities and the United Nations security Council has kicked out Pakistan.

INDO-PAK GAME on BALUCHISTAN

Why PM Modi's Balochistan barb changes the India-Pakistan game

http://www.hindustantimes.com/analysis/why-pm-modi-s-statement-changes-the-india-pakistan-game/story-juWjrhi6g754R8nzhk9tUI.html?utm_source=LI&utm_medium=also-read

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi acknowledged the gratitude of the people of Balochistan , and Gilgit, and nodded at their struggles in his Independence Day speech on Monday, he ended a long period of shadow-boxing in India-Pakistan ties.

This is a game-changer, but its consequences are not clear just yet.

Modi's reference to Gilgit is significant but can be understood. There is an Indian parliamentary resolution that all of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. It is, as the strategic analyst Manoj Joshi noted, based on a simple principle - 'In a dispute, express your maximal position, rather than the one you will compromise on.' India has, in the past, responded to reports of the presence of Chinese soldiers and workers in the region. National security adviser Ajit Doval, in 2015, spoke of India's 106-km long border with Afghanistan - which was a reference to Gilgit-Baltistan border.

The real shift is Balochistan.
