Folks, sharing some thoughts on Big Tech that has become an integral part of our daily lives as individuals as well as collectively.
The trigger was the massive outage of Microsoft devices some weeks ago. Have been having some thoughts since then.
Let's see how it goes..
First and foremost, here is a link to the outage of Microsoft devices due to some issue with CrowdStrike, for those who might have forgotten it.
economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/moc…
So many parts of our lives came to a halt, because someone somewhere screwed up!
It was a major news headline for atleast a couple of days.
And then, we moved on once things were back in order, dismissing this as a temporary hitch in our day-to-day existence.

This tweet landed on my TL some time back.
More than the event itself, it was the mention of Bangladesh Army that got me thinking.
Sharing a chain of thoughts.
Still unstructured. Let's see how it goes ..
First thing I did was to go to the Wikipedia page of Bangladesh Army to confirm a hunch.
And true to my expectations, I saw the size of Bangladesh Army to be 160,000 troops! Image
To put things in context and why I found it amusing, I will just give a comparison with the British and the German Armies, sourced from Wikipedia itself.

British Army = Approx 79,000 Active Duty personnel
German Army = 63,000 personnel

Last night just as I was about to hit bed, this short thread landed up on my TL.
My first reaction was that this was inevitable!
Sharing some thoughts on this latest development.
Let's see how it goes ..
First and foremost, I will share this video of Dacca University, taken in March 1971, aired by NBC News 10 months later.
THIS is how the endgame of 1971 commenced - with the West Pakistani occupiers killing students and professors ..
MUST watch the video and hear the commentary
It seems almost like a Deja Vu all over again, doesn't it?
Given that the levels of violence for the time being aren't of similar nature, but students clashing with armed wings of the state is a dire reminded of what happened not very long ago ..

Sharing some thoughts on the #Bangladesh issue that has flared up over the past few days.
Thoughts are still unstructured, let's see how this thread goes ..
I will start by saying that If you STILL cannot hear the drums of war, you must be deaf indeed!
The wheels of history seem to be moving with increasing urgency lately, getting greased with more and more blood. Sad, as it may be, it is just history repeating itself.
The events that have transpired in Bangladesh over the past few days and weeks and months have been reported fairly widely, so I won't delve on them much.
But fact remains that it is just the latest in a series of countries ending up in chaos over the past couple of years.

Bodies battered and minds shattered;
They carried on 'coz Victory mattered

The heights stay frozen, not with ice;
But by their blood and sacrifice

Sons and fathers, like you and me;
Conquered the peaks and set them free

This day in 1999, a young Captain by the name of Manoj Kumar Pandey was going gung ho, clearing Paakis in Khalubar.
Little would he have have known that he had just about 43 days more in this world, before he attained martyrdom, and with it, immortal fame ..Image
He led the most difficult tasks assigned to 1/11 Gorkha Rifles in the war, with full confidence in his fellow Gorkhas to deliver. Image
Here is a letter he wrote from the battlefield to a friend.
Download, Zoom & Read.
I INSIST.Image
