A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH, PEACE .

  It gives me immense pleasure in sharing the following information with all pensioners.  My longtime friend and a seasoned activist for pensioners' cause shri. Prem Prakash Dhamija of Ghaziabad has brought out a book carrying his Hindi translation of the Bhagvat Gita. The holy text is known to have been translated by many people in many languages but it is a matter of pride for us that one of our own men has also done that job now. I wonder how Shri Dhamija could have kept aside thoughts on upgradation, peñsion anamolies etc and undertook this tremendous work!  Even for one like me with limited Knowledge of Hindi, it would appear he has skillfully employed simple language. Full compliments to Shri. Dhamija for his unique effort. The book is not priced and it is noted as ' Sri Krishna Prem' against the relavent coloum on the information page. Interested friends can therefore contact Shri Dhamija if they would like to have a copy.His mail ID is '  prem_dhamija38@...

  Sridharan G.N 7:26 PM (1 hour ago) to  PG ,  rk ,  me  Today's news on the Govt. having cleared the long-awaited improvements on Family pension (30% + no ceiling) appears to be authentic. My expectation is that this will be followed without much of delay by some kind of a pension Updation formula , whether satisfactory or not,being thrust on Bank Pensioners.Once these exercises are completed, we can expect similar arrangements being made for us,the LIC Pensioners. I hope and wish that it is done before the IPO affairs take a concrete shape. As one who always believes in 'playing safe' in knotty situations,it is necessary to ensure that our pending litigation in SC is kept in animated suspension. At least I would like to appeal to the Pensioners not to allow their anxiety to get the better of them.As for leaders of organisations ,no one much less myself can prevent them from indulging in exchange of their views on the strength of our pleas before the court base...

  Reg: Our Case in SC to day  …. It was again a disappointing day, where the judges were hurrying to pass over our Hearing, because there are other 'Pass-over' cases to be heard today!    When Sri Nidesh Gupta was trying to tell the judges that people involved are aged Pensioners, still the judges remarked that this would entail long discussions and so it would be taken up on another date -- may be, in 2 or 3 week's time!   This same thing could repeat on that day too! But what they say is final. So we will necessarily have to wait further for something to happen on our matter.   With Best Wishes to all D.Krishnan.
