27 LAWS OF MILITARY OFFICIALDOM

After painstaking ruminations on life's most recent experiences, I consider these 27 underlisted as the laws that can guarantee a serviceman not just an illustrious career, but also an accident-free officialdom in any military.
👇

1. Your rifle and your ammo are more important than your life. Better be dead than lose them.

2. You can never be the winner in any argument with your superior. Even when you have won.

3. Every commander needs your advice but not in public.

👇

4. If there is a competition, don't come first, and don't come last.

5. Your soldiers are the backbone of your work. Treat them well.

6. If you offend a higher authority, carry your cross.

7. If your soldier offends a higher authority, carry his cross.

👇

8. Remember to get to the top you not only need a modicum of smartness & intelligence but must be most loyal one.

9. Don't be deceived. Many Cdrs dont like eye service.

10. Never contest a woman with your superior. It is the fastest way to die & many have gone that way.
5

11. The wife of your superior is either a goldmine or a landmine. If you are not sure of which she is, avoid her.

12. Be brave. Even if you are a coward.

👇
6

13. If your superior admires your girlfriend, surrender her. If he admires your wife, stand by her. A girlfriend is an accolade. An accolade can be lost without dire consequences. Your wife is your crown. You are nothing without her.

👇

14. Dont ever beg for mercy, its showing weakness & the mil environment has no respect for weaklings.

15. Don't ever solicit "welfare". If you're "issued", be very thankful.

16. Don't look for ur seniors. Let them look for you. If they look for you, don't keep them waiting.
8

17. If you don't like a colleague, let him know you don't like him. If he takes steps to warm up to you, don't embrace him. Accommodate him.

18. A lie is an abomination - and a critical part of initiative.

👇
9

19. If you are lucky to have stumbled on "mega" money, maintain your old lifestyle. If you can't maintain your old lifestyle, maintain a low profile. Camouflage and concealment are not only for the warfront. "Shine" is one reason things are seen.

👇
10

20. Remember that drinking, smoking & womanizing are prominent features of the job yet, no medals are given for them.

21. Don't look too smart before your superiors. Instead, look stupid. People are generally comfortable with stupid people who they can easily control.
👇
11
22. Wait for your time.

23. Know that the enemy's degree of training is dependent on yours. If he is well trained, then, you are poorly trained. If he is poorly trained, you are well trained.

24. You are a soldier. Not a priest.

25. If you are tired of the job, resign.

👇
11

26. Never reject a gift from a superior except in protest of a salient point. It is the greatest indirect show of disloyalty.

27. Be everywhere. Every time.

Modi Knows ...
Folks a Long Thread; Trust me it'll be worth ur while.

'Modi was right. We were wrong. Protesting farmers are checkmated!'

I sense #FarmersProtests has lost its steam & this round goes to Modi, that is if there's still 2.0 waiting.

Not just ears, I've kept my eyes & nose too on the grnd. I sense the squatting farmers are more like deadwt on Delhi borders than a heaving humanity.

It’s not my instinct alone. There were dots connecting this farmers’ protest and one-by-one each have begun to disappear.

It’s just not @_YogendraYadav missing, or @rihanna and @GretaThunberg fading so quickly, or various kind of “Diwas” and “chakka-jams” being reduced to length of a matinee-show.

The biggest dots were politicians and press and those big guns have fallen silent.

@RahulGandhi before hopping abt like an excited little 🐩with a🌶️ stuck up the batuti & making fool of urself, try & do some HW!
We'll talk abt AksaiChin later, for now,
Ask ur MMS/Mundu Uncles under Who's watch were Depsang Plains eaten away by Chinklets?
google.com/amp/s/www.theh…
Now @RahulGandhi re AksaiChin as a whole!
While u're trying to educating urself, do also ask one of ur ancient Unclesi still arnd in @INCIndia as to

UNDER WHOSE WATCH DID CHINA STROLL INTO AKSAI CHIN?

And WHY did ur greatgrandpa ji lie about & conceal this fact frm the Nation?
When confronted in Parlmnt over non-disclosure of annexation of Aksai Chin,
Nehru reportedly tried to justify by:
“Not a single blade of grass grows there.”

Mahavir Tyagi, a sr @INCIndia leader pointed to his bald head & asked JLN: “Nothing grows here shld it be given away too?"

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.

He rose & said " Speaker sir ...

Abide With Me ...

Henry Francis Lyte, c.1847

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

After some chat, I felt that we were connecting at a deeper level.

Yesterday, she asked me to visit her house and said, "My husband is on a business trip, and I'm alone at home."

I was very cautious and asked, "Will your husband suddenly come back?

👇

She said, "No, but just in case he does, you just say that you are from URBANCLAP and that your company sent you to clean the house.

And then, clean the glass or something. Anyway, the Pongal festival is coming.

My husband won't suspect a thing."
