A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

A few days ago, on a subject MORNING WALK, Madam Mythili ,a very Senior Officer of the rank of DZM and also  an erstwhile colleague of mine, ( widely admired for her immaculate choice of words in her conversation and  lecture, and  equally known for her oratorical skills,)  wrote in the comments column, that though she would like to know about the benefits of morning walk , she could not understand , since the entire thing was in Sanskrit and unintelligible..  True, Madam, but the passage was MORE a lesson in Sanskrit , to persuade viewers to attempt to translate them in to English or their own language than a note on the benefits of walking in morning. On and off, I publish an article or two on the classical language, an obsession for me for several years. Having said this, one may click HERE to know the benefits of MORNING WALK.  one may also move to get more in-depth know-how of many an ailment which hits and hurts all particularly aged ones ...

Our pensioner friends will appreciate that it is worthwhile we keep ourselves abreast of what is happening to others,particularly  in the Banking sector,since whether we like or not it is the policy of the govt (Fin.ministry) to club insurance with banking in the matter of emoluments of employees including pensioners.This being election time it becomes all the more necessary. I would therefore like to share with you all the following information I have. (Let us all remember that judiciary will not interfere with policy decisions of the executive) 1) In the latest round of talks held on 18th inst with IBA in connection with the impending 11th Bi-partite wage settlement the representative organisations of Bank employees had reportedly made as one of their demands - 'updation of pensions of all retirees at a common index point as would be applicable under the 11th settlement'. The reaction of the IBA is reported as "would be studied for consideration". ( it is ...

Sir, I am not aware of how many recipients of your mail responded to its contents and in what manner.I shall like to share my ideas with you and shall love to be corrected if the line of my thinking is wrong. The process of granting increasing pensions to the ageing Central/State govt. retirees has been in existence for a long  time.We mentioned it in our writ filed in Chandigarh H C  in 2010 and requested for the same for the LIC retirees. Our present legal status is 1-The LIC cannot give any financial relief to its pensioners without the Central Govt. amending the pension rules.And, 2-The LIC retirees can not be treated at par with the Govt retirees in the matter of payment of theretiral benefits. Our main demand in the Supreme Court is to be treated  at par with the Govt employees as our pension rules are framed by the central govt and these are similar to the central civil services pension rules. Getting all set to fight the ...
