PROSTRATE GLAND

*Useful for all over-40 guys*

A useful article / talk on *Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) or in simple terms, Enlarged Prostate*. Diet is the most important part of this talk which is something within our control;  and it works.

*MEN MUST READ*

Gentlemen,

I am here to speak with you on Prostate. The topic is misleading.  *Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40 years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone*

DEGRADATION OF MILITARY

*The Nation has the Right to Know* 

How the Military has been demeaned, degraded and demoralised over the last 69 years.

 1. *1948* When Indian army was chasing pak intruders on the back run and confident of pushing them beyond whole of J&K, Nehru ordered cease fire. Result- POK and perpetual trouble in Kashmir.

2. *1962*

Nehru pushed the ill prepared and ill equipped military in winters to war with

TALE OF TWO MARTYRS

A tale of two martyrs.

Lt Umar Fayyaz and Maj DavidManlun

Both in their 20s. Both young bright and fearless. 

Isnt that what the IndianArmy is made up of?

#Blood #Guts and #Glory

Vir Bhogya Vasundhara. 

But what sets them apart? 

Lt Fayyaz was abducted on the 10th May 2017 from his home while he was on leave attending a family function. His bullet ridden body was recovered after 2 days.

The nation condemned this killing and rightly so. No one deserves to die the way LtUmarFayyaz died. A million Candles were lit. A full course of  National Defense Academy organised a solidarity march in memory of the young officer. Eulogies were sung and the youngster all of 22 was declared a Martyr. A role model for all youngsters to follow. An example to be emulated

MORAL COURAGE - FD MARSHAL MANEKSHAW

*Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, as quoted from his own speech to the Officers of DSSC, Wellington, on 11th November 1998, regarding the real meaning of 'Moral Courage':-*

*" Ladies and Gentlemen, I do not know which of these is more important. When I am talking to young officers and young soldiers, I should place emphasis on physical courage. But since I am talking to this gathering, I will lay emphasis on Moral Courage.*

 *What is moral courage? Moral courage is the ability to distinguish right from wrong and having done so, say so when asked, irrespective of what your superiors might think or what your colleagues or your subordinates might want. A 'yes man' is a dangerous man. He may rise very high, he might even become the Managing Director of a company. He may do anything but he can never make a leader because he will be used by his superiors, disliked by his colleagues and despised by his subordinates. So shallow– the 'yes man'.*

          *I am going to illustrate from my own life an example of moral courage.*

 *In 1971, when Pakistan clamped down on its province, East Pakistan,

A TALE FROM WORLD WAR II -MELROSE

A Hill Called  MELROSE

"May I have a light?" I looked up to see a Japanese – more or less my age – with an unlit cigarette in his hand. I reached for my lighter. He lit up. We were on a train travelling from Berne to Geneva in the autumn of 1980. "Indian?" he asked. "Yes" I replied. We got talking. He was an official in the UN and was returning to home and headquarters at Geneva. I was scheduled to lecture at the university. We chit-chatted for a while; he gave me some useful tips on what to see and where to eat in the city. Then, having exhausted the store of 'safely tradable information', we fell silent. I retrieved my book – 'Defeat into Victory', an account of

This is a 'pot pouri' IDF analysis of the week ending 6th May, 2017.Indians think Delhi is the centre of the earth with the fastest growing economy and a magnet for FDI.

AMOR FATI - Learn To Love Your Fate....... 

         Amor fati is a Latin phrase that may be translated as "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens, including suffering and loss as, necessary. Whether one likes them or not, it is accepted with zen like serenity.

He just happens to be NCR Mensa head as well... 

           Imagine two branches of service in the Government of India. The two branches are different in substance and in the perception of the citizens. One branch has its halo effect and is considered both glamorous and praiseworthy in public perception. The other branch is often pejoratively titled "babudom".

 Now consider the following points:

OWNERSHIP - CONCEPT UNDER CHANGE

*Why young people don't buy cars and apartments anymore*

        Nowadays, the traditional measure of success — owning an apartment and/or a car — is out of date. An increasing number of young people around the world don't want to buy them.

Research shows that the so-called millennial generation, who are now 30-35 years old, rarely buy houses and even more rarely — cars. In fact, they don't buy super expensive things at all. In the USA, people under the age of 35 are called 'the generation of renters.'

Why does this happen?

Some sociologists say the current generation of young people differs from their parents' generation. They have different values.The youth today has reconsidered the concept of success, which means: Successful people don't buy property — they rent.

LINKING AADHAAR WITH PAN

How to link Aadhaar with PAN through Online E-Filling Income Tax Return for A.Y.2017-18

In the Budget 2017, a new provision was inserted, making the quoting of Aadhaar number mandatory in the application form the for PAN. Also, effective from 1st July 2017, it is mandatory to quote your Aadhaar number while filing IT Return.

The intention is to identify the persons who avoid taxes by having multiple PAN cards. However, the implementation is not so smooth sailing. Because now all PAN card holders must have Aadhaar card. Also, whoever trying to apply the new PAN, must first have Aadhaar card. Otherwise, the existing PAN cards will be treated as invalid.

A NEW JIHAD IN KASHMIR

A NEW JIHAD IN KASHMIR
So if peace is to be restored, what we need is a strategy for war.
Written by Tavleen Singh | Published:April 23, 2017 1:53 am

(Express Photo By Shuaib Masoodi)

       The Kashmir Valley has become a warzone today because of radical Islam. This is the exact same genre of Islam that caused the terrorist attack in Paris last week. And the exact same genre that lies at the root of all jihadi terrorist attacks. Until we admit this, we cannot begin to talk of peace. Just as it is impossible to defeat the worldwide jihad as long as moderate Muslims continue to support it, albeit inadvertently, for reasons of piety, faith and community, so will it be impossible to defeat the jihad in Kashmir. The violent mobs that abuse security personnel on the streets of Srinagar are made up of small boys and youths who are too young to understand politics but who have been bred on their difference from other Indians for reasons of faith.
 

NATIONAL FLAG FLIES OWING TO SACRIFICES BY MARTYRES

THE NATIONAL FLAG DOES NOT FLY BECAUSE OF THE WIND........ IT FLIES ...... 

  There was a boy called Ayush Yadav.  He was a field Captain in the Indian Army.  You can tell a service officer, that they are different from others when they stand in a group of boys of the same age.  It is not the hair cut that stands out.  It is the honour that the uniform brings that makes them stand out.  When most boys of their age are refining their resumes for a job, these boys chose a life that  embeds honour as a way of life.  

    Honour in uniform

    Honour in society

    Honour to stand guard for the motherland

    Honour in being a soldier.

    Our uniform portrays purpose, duty and makes you responsible to the trust that the 125 crore people bestow  in us.  That trust is a very big purpose to bear.

    Please forgive me for Ruffling any "Nationalist" Feathers but I am Upset at the CRPF being called variously as : "Troops" and "Soldiers"...    All these fellows serving with CPOs (Central Police Organisations)  as they are known, are *Police (Constables), and Not Military (Soldiers)*. They copy the Military in Appearance. Denigrate the Military at Every Opportunity, but they are nowhere close to being as Capable and Effective as the Military... Our Media needs to learn this difference between a soldier and a constable. Similarly theu must also know the difference between an army officer and a police officer including the so called elite Indian police Service!

GOD'S GIFT

GOD SENT ME – A GIFT

                                                                        By SHRUTI DHAND

  I was walking down the lane of life once with no one but my solitude. The only footsteps I could see in the sand of time were mine. I had lost my way, and there was not a soul I could cry out to! It seemed that I could never find a way out. I looked up to the heavens and cried out loud to find a solace, but my prayers never seemed to reach the right ears. All I could see around was inhospitable terrain and the hot scorching sun was filling me with pain. I was lost in a land I had never visited before! But I just kept walking because it seemed I have a destination to reach. My tears would hit the ground and just disappear in the thirsty land whose thirst never seemed to quench and I felt so exhausted as if I had been walking for ages. I don't know for how long I walked before the shadows filled my eyes and I felt the hardness of the ground on my face.

Jan 26^th, Republic Day arrived- a day when deserving Defence Forces people get awarded for various acts of bravery and distinguished service. A few of my friends, and course mates too got the well-deserved awards.

A week later, I got a call from an unknown number. "Hello Sir! I am Vikas, can you recognise me"! It just took me two seconds to call out his surname, and he was thrilled and said "You haven't forgotten me Sir, after all these years!"….

Army Chief: Gen Bipin Rawat

Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat's tough statement warning trouble makers in Kashmir to desist from obstructing operations by his troops or else face the consequences has evoked expected reactions.

There was one section–and I don't want to call them intellectuals–which pays lip service to the fauj but in reality stands against everything that the army seeks to protect and defend. This group has variously dubbed the Army Chief's remark as 'intemperate statement,' 'belligerent stand,' and 'declaration of war against Kashmiri youth.' This group of people have sought to create an impression that the Army Chief has ordered his troops to kill and maim indiscriminately.

ARTICLE 370 -TEMP PROVISION

A debate on Article 370 of our Constitution,  giving special status to the State of Jammu Kashmir, is going on.  Article 370 of the Constitution of India  about it  starts with , the wordings

Temporary Provisions with respect to the State of Jammu & Kashmir

Amendment to the Indian Constitution done 98 times.

To say  that  Article 370,  is something,, which is inflexible and  cannot be amended,  is to misinterpret the Constitution. Incidentally, Indian  Constitution  has been amended from 1951 to 2013 for 98 Times.  The Indian Parliament  is  Supreme,  like the British Parliament, about which, it is said that it can pass any law except to make a man a woman and vice versa.

No law or concept is eternal, including  the Constitution  unlike the Holy Books Of  Different  Religions,  for its followers.

SEMINAR ON FUTURE OF AFGHANISTAN - CLAWS

** The curious case of Chinese troops on Afghan soil

By Franz J. Marty

Overwhelming evidence – photographs, an eyewitness account and several confirming statements of diplomats and observers, among them a Chinese official familiar with the matter – leaves virtually no doubt that Chinese troops have undertaken joint patrols with their Afghan (and possibly also Tajik) counterparts on Afghan soil in the Little Pamir, a high plateau near the Afghan-Chinese border. While the Chinese source insists that such joint border patrols were based on an agreement, and therefore legal, the Afghan government steadfastly denies the existence of such patrols.

UNTOLD STORIES: Grudges from the Siachen sellout

By - Vishwajeet Singh

   

Day before an article by Kunal Verma on the situation in Kashmir went viral on social media. Writing in the context of the latest incident in the Valley in which Major Dahiya and 5 soldiers lost their lives, the author has done some plain speaking. By holding up a mirror which has no partisan political leanings, Kunal has stated in no uncertain terms what today is the general feeling among the young officers and men. Frankly, sometimes it takes a lot of courage to stand up and tell the truth. And if you are willing to stick your neck out, you will get trolled which is fair enough, and most readers are astute enough to know which comments are motivated and which are genuine.
