1/ #PoonchTerrorAttack#VoICE The concept of the ‘War on Third Front’ I frequently write about needs to be understood. Army soldiers are cannon fodder. Five dead, nationalistic euphoria, jingoism and simply carry on with life till next attack takes place.
2/ #PoonchTerrorAttack#VoICE Has anyone got affected other than the five families? Even Army needs to excuse from shedding tears. It has come down to PULWAMA KA BADLA as if it’s a bloody Hindi movie. Those 40 dead in Pulwama have taught no lesson to anyone. People are getting
3/ #PoonchTerrorAttack#VoICE promoted, Corps and Army Commanders are shining brass but NONE can stop the attacks. Reason? It does not sink in strategy deciding brains that we are already in the ‘War on the Third Front’ and we need to immediately get into fighting mode.
4/ #PoonchTerrorAttack#VoICE War on third front simply is war on India (don’t give me definition of war). It’s on. We are blind. Military cannot see it. Bureaucrats cannot see it. Nation cannot see it. Dr. S Jaishankar, to me, seems to be the only guy, who understands it.
5/ #PoonchTerrorAttack#VoICE Pulwama has been repeated. Pinch will be repeated. We will rally the country playing emotional card. A Rambo will take ‘BADLA’ and we will go home happy. This is the bloody curse of India. We are fighting a war we don’t understand about. Ponch will… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

1/ #VoICE#SelfPublishing#UnderTheSun I don’t like the tone and tenor of the tweets on recent ‘piracy’ incident by the author of a book written by a veteran. Social Media has been used in a very filthy way and hundreds of veterans with zero understanding of publishing have been
2/ so eloquent in criticising the act, naming and shaming the suspect and painting the author as ‘peedit’ ‘victim’. No Sir. We need to understand publishing field. My book, ‘Under The Sun’ was published on 27 Sep 2022. It is on Amazon and Kindle. I started writing my
3/ ‘self publishing’ journey from Feb 2022 in form of tweets and threads. You will find at least 20 threads that give graphic details of each step of publishing. I shared it real time. I added numerous novel features like printing buyers name on ‘personalised’ copies. Everything
1/ PART-2 First read Tweet 4 to 7 below. How transparent #SAVITA is you will know. My friends parents wanted to help a forces widow. Yesterday in flat three hours the contribution was made. I don’t touch cash. The Benefactor transfers money directly to Beneficiary.
2/ See how it is done. My friend was given bank account details of the widow of an Infantry deceased soldiers widow. He was in SIKH LIGHT INFANTRY. Step 1- Rs 270,00 was transferred as a test transaction. Screen shot was sent to me which I sent to the widow.
3/ Step-2 The widow sent me screenshot of receipt of Rs 270.00 which I sent to my friend.
1/ Meet POLLY (name changed) This pic is of 2012 when he was three years old. The second picture was taken yesterday. In 2012, I asked Polly ‘Polly bada hokar kya banega?(what do you want to become when you grow up?) He replied ENGINEER. What? #SAVITA#VoICE#Polly
2/ He was in Play Group. I was dumbfounded. I asked him what is an ‘engineer’? He said he doesn’t know. Why do you want to become an engineer? He pointed at my son, then 17 yrs, and said ‘because Dada wants to be an engineer”! He had heard the word from my son. I again posed my… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3/ His reply bound me to him forever. He said, “I will buy a car and take my mummy everywhere”. My wife, son, and Polly’s mother were there, I took him in an a brace and said, ‘Uncle will make you an engineer’. Rest is story. His Playgroup, LKG, UKG, Class 1 to 3 were taken on
1/ #CounterInsurgencyIndustry#VoICE#CentralFunds See a random news attached. 15 years and Rs 1.14 LAC CRORE. That is SEVENTY SIX THOUSAND LAC CRORES each year. I first went to Valley in 1991. Insurgency had just started. It was in 90’s that Kupwara Division was raised. Four
2/ Counter Insurgency Forces were raised and we had over 50-60 Rashtriya Rifles battalions raised. CRPF and BSF were seen sometimes. All were paid out of their respective budgets. J&K Police was unseen and unheard of. Where did all the money go? Interested to find, RT this tweet.
3/ How many of you have crossed Banihal Pass to visit valley? Or visited valley by air? I have seen entire valley from Banihal-Quazigund-Srinagar-Kupwara further to Tangdhar/Pharkiyan/Macchal, Baramulla, Uri, Sonamarg etc. 1991 to 2006 - I searched for 76,000 LAC CRORES (each Yr)
1/ #TellMeColPande I am writing since last seven years that keeping Kashmir Insurgency ALIVE is the combined effort of everyone connected to it. Terrorists, Informers, Over Ground Workers, Politicians, State and Central Govt employees, Bureaucracy, Intelligence and Military.
2/ None wanted it to finish and hence each kept it alive. Remember I wrote the same day it was announced that abrogation of Article 370 has BROKEN THE BACK OF #CounterInsurgencyIndustry Here we are today!!!! Army had no business to be in Kashmir Insurgency since turn of century.
3/ Bureaucrats created a ‘Revenue Heaven’, everything had a cost. Even their being “posted” to Insurgency area cost Government a bomb. Bureaucrats wrote policies, they decided own allowances, added perks, they added massive costs for their ‘responsibility’ to finish insurgency.
