2. This reminds me of a Cdr who was pissed as hell when he was likewise stopped & checked ...
Years ago, Marines were tasked to man and guard the gates at most Naval & Marine bases.
At the Marine Air Station at Miramar, in California ...
👇
3. And it was common to assign relatively jr ranked Marines, often recent graduates from Marine boot camp in San Diego such duties. At random times, Gate guards were ordered to do a 100% ID card check of every occupant of every car. This was simply a security training ex.

4. One day, Comdt of the Marine Corps was visiting Miramar for insp. He arr in a limo, Marine Flag offr’s flag flying on the hood, driven by a Marine Capt. As the car apch gate, Dvr was expecting to be waved thru but Guard stepped out in front of the car & indicated to stop.

The Capt shouted at the guard. The guard calmly asked for his ID & that of the passenger. The Capt again shouted, “Do you know who this is? Thats the Comdt of Marine Corps”.
The guard peeks in, sees & salutes the Comdt & says
“Sorry sir, I have my orders gotta see all your ID”.

When George Fernandas had the last laugh in Parliament!!
The year 1998.
BJP was single largest party and NDA was the strongest alliance in Loksabha ...

Vajpayee was PM. Confidence motion was before the house. Congress & CPM had joined hands to vote against NDA govt.
Leaders of both parties were sitting together & attacking BJP NDA.
Whenever Congress leader spoke, the CPM leaders were thumping the desks and vice-versa.

Whenever a leader from NDA was attacking Congress, leaders from CPM counter attacked fiercely. All 'secular' forces were united to dethrone the Vajpayee government.
Veteran leader George Fernandez rose to defend Govt.
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see
O Thou who changest not, abide with me

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness
Where is death's sting?
Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me
A an interesting story from Netaji's life with a linkage to today ...
In 1910, two young men had met Revered Swami Brahmanandaji, the First president Ramakrishna Math & Mission - Subhas & Nirmal.
Both the young men expressed their ardent desire to become monks of the Order.
👇
2/ However, while the Satyadrashta in Swami Brahmanandaji accepted Nirmal's candidature to join the Order, he declined & forbade Subhas Chandra Bose, saying he had to accomplish great work by staying outside the Order.
3/
Nirmal went on to become Swami Madhavananda, the Ninth president of the Order, while we all know what happened to Subhas Chandra Bose.
Posting a old favourite Tale of mine from the Wild Wild West -
Be warned this thread is LONG.
But all Good things take time!
'The Old WOMAN & her MULE'
On a warm dusty afternoon, a wizened OLD WOMAN slowly trudged up to a Saloon and tied her old mule to the hitching post.
👇
2/ As she stood there, brushing the dust from her face and clothes, a young GUN-SLINGER stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and whisky in the other. He took one looked at the old woman, laughed and said "Hey you OLD BAG have you danced before?"
👇
3/ The Old Woman looked up at the Gunslinger & spoke in a tired voice "Nah! i neva did dance, neva really wanted tuh"
By now a crowd had gathered as the Gunslinger grinned & said "Well you ol'Bag, You're gonna dance NOW!" & started shooting at the grnd near the woman's feet.
👇
2/ As well the urge to present credible propositions.
Fortunately for them, much of their FB & SM/media support base are gullible/consumed by #ModiHatred sentiment not to question the claims. I am one of them.🙃
So now I look forward to the hugest ever tractor rally.🙃
👇
3/ According to this report, in The Hindu two lakh tractor trolleys will take part in the rally. My mind boggles. Length of typical tractor is 2.9 m. Add a trolley att - 2M. Safe to assume a 3M intra tractor gap, max speed being 30 kmph .
This => 8 M per tractor.
