G N SRIDHARAN INFORMS US: Pensioners’ case in HC Delhi today At the hearing of the case today, the ASG representing UOI pleaded for further time to file the Government’s affidavit.  The Bench expressed surprise that their counter could not be got ready though more than three weeks have passed since last hearing.  The Bench pointed out that that the deadline fixed by the S.C. is ending.  LIC wanted extension but our counsel pointed out that they should have applied to S.C. for extension instead of stating so before the Court.  The Bench stipulated that LIC should seek extension from the S.C. immediately, and report back.  The Bench directed that on being mentioned on 31 st  Aug in regard to having moved the matter at the S.C., a definite date for argument will be fixed on that day. The Counsel appearing for a petitioner raised the issue that the IR of 40% has not been made properly.  The Judge remarked that other petitioner...

Re: Case before Delhi High Court Though we were aware of the high expectations of pensioners on the outcome of the impending hearing on the 29 th we could not send out any communication for the past couple of weeks for valid reasons.  We were busy concentrating on preparing our written responses on the stand of LIC in the Delhi HC on our amended writ .   We may inform that we could finalise in time the following materials.- 1) Rejoinder to LIC's Reply to our amended WP 184/2007 2) Reply affidavit to the 'compliance' affidavit of LIC in regard to payment of Interim Relief as per SC order filed by them in WP 3984/2016. The finalisation of the above called for intense consultations amongst our Legal committee members and everyone contributed to make it a good teamwork M/s R Rajagopalan and Basudeb Das provided valuable inputs.  Shri M Arunachalam bore the brunt of giving a final shape to our efforts maintaining contact with me continuously.  ...

Ever since I saw my friend at the Bank trying to rectify an error in initials in his fixed deposit,  my mind was unravelling  knots and contours  of an unknown future.  Unconsciously I opened my almirah to have a re-look at all the documents and bank passbooks. It is right time to check up whether I made all the nominations in my bank accounts, whether I made the will as formatted in the book supplied by our Vice President, and in fact whether my name has been rightly spelt in all the documents. An error in initials may even result in wrong credit to some other account, my sixth sense warned. Before the warning could wane, I started checking all files, right from 2001. So many letters hand-written, half-written, torn, to be torn  pension statements 16A,  15H copies, proof of existence, and among them furious  letters to Banks questioning wrong debits of TDS etc. etc. Too many wrong debits, in life too, I thought.  Unluckily or luckily p...

When there is a lot of praise for you, you find yourself at the Seventh Heaven of Joy. In today's parlance, at the top of Himalayas.  True. But, have we ever bothered to know from where the praise comes? Does the praise have a price ? A tag ? Let us recall a two-line Sanskrit sloka from Subhashithani. कार्यार्थी भजते लोकः यावत्‌ कार्यं न सिध्यति॥ उत्तीर्णे च परे पारे नौकायाः किं प्रयोजनम्॥ People praise others only to get their work done. Or their wishes to be fulfilled.  Otherwise, their work will not get done. Subhashitani says in a nutshell: As soon as you cross the river,  what is the use of the boat ? It happened well in 1986 or so.  I had just returned from my tour some Andhra Division. The journey was tough but I thought that the offices I had to inspect proved tougher as they were really working well.  (Though the goal of Audit is not fault-finding, as is said, still, when you find a couple of wrong doings that could...

News from NASA   ( not NEWS ABOUT SALARY ARREARS) New Chandra data of the supernova remnant G11.2-0.3 raise new questions about the timing of its origin. Previously, G11.2-0.3 was associated with an event recorded by Chinese observers in 386 CE. Chandra observations show that dense gas clouds lie along the line of sight between Earth and G11.2-0.3. This new information means that the supernova explosion would have been too faint to be seen with the naked eye from Earth.

IF YOU FEEL U R RIGHT...MOVE  ON.... The truth that Linji explained: "When somebody tells us an idea, our tendency is to doubt it immediately. We look at the sky and the earth and we look for somebody to consult.  And the more we consult, the more unclear it becomes. Because each person puts his own idea and every idea is wrong. Everyone's idea is the object of his view , the object of his mind, and is not the reality. Imagine two waves talking to each other. One says, "I hear that our true nature is water.How are we going to look for it? Of course there is nowhere for them to  look. We might want to read this commentary in order the understand the "truth of what Master Linji was saying, but perhaps the master was not saying anything but was speaking to pry open the windows in our own hearts. Master Linji sought" The true great gentlemen is someone who does not discuss master and servant, what is right and what is wrong, beauty and talent.  ...

It all started as a routine meeting of all faculty. The second fortnight of March it was. Yes. You guessed it right. Whenever we had no other work,  we were called to attention.  we meet and discuss. On that day as we , i mean, all faculty, met at the spacious hall of our Principal ,  the meeting wore an air of expectation. Yes. A dignitary from CO was visiting our centre to interact with all faculty.  The boss said he expected the dignitary to have a didactic  discussion with every faculty too. . Why should it be like that ? asked an ever inquisitive friend.. "I wish you better put this the question straight to him." said our boss. The meeting was to take place at 2.30 p.m.  It is was already 3.00 p.m. but yet the visiting dignitary was not in sight.  Nor was there was any message from him. A couple of our friends (faculty) appeared tense.  To them this meeting appeared to be more than a routine. They were, as we knew, in th...
