Beyond Happiness!

Parents become proud parents when their children grow past them in terms of earning livelihood, standing on their own legs and settling down well in their respective lives. Any parent would love to dream that day happening in their life and very true so! My happiness knew no bounds when on the evening of 27Th April, 2011 my elder son Capt Neeraj,Commander of Air Bus A320 sprang a surprise by asking me to get ready to travel with him to Delhi and come back with him. He had reasons to do so and had booked my tickets in advance to give me a pleasant surprise and a special Tamil New Year gift too! I started to get ready to match the social status of being father of a commander drawing out some exotic perfumes which were forgotten. The shoes were smiling happily to be in gentle touch with the shoe shiner to compliment the dress code that I ordered for myself reminding myself of etiquette's as the person in command of the flight to Delhi is my son!

The Boarding pass was awaiting my arrival at the airport and there was absolute thrill in my mind that I was going to travel all the way to Delhi with my son in Command! I was thrilled like a kid to See various gadgets inside the cock-pit which reminded me of my Audio mixing console, I had in my Audio/video recording facility a few years back. The technique of Fly by wire was detailed to me by the co-pilot and I managed to absorb something like a capsule!

The controls of the mighty Jet was in a Joy-stick and the entire flight path and route were controlled by the computer on board!

The instructions to fasten seat belts and other formalities were announced. Goose bumps prevailed all over my body when the lady announced my son's name as Commander of the aircraft and I felt that was the greatest moment any father could have to realise that his name also flied high along with his son's! The hospitality during the flight was extra-ordinary and the food served was one up in taste coupled with my happiness! Truly, I am a proud father and my son has enhanced my name to fly farther up! May god bless the child and the airlines that he is working for.

Americans are unique in the way they do?

Osama Bin Laden, the master mind behind many terror attacks all over the world was killed in an encounter by  the elite U S Navy Seals who finished their assigned jobs in a perfect manner without causing much damage to the civilian properties and lives.  The U S did a job better than the killing by giving the body a silent deep sea burial in the North Arabian Sea without any fanfare or show.  All these things happened within a few hours without giving time for the Pakistan Establishment or the ISI even to digest and come to terms with the reality!

The Indians known for their long, wagging tongues have only reiterated their customary stand that Pakistan is a safe haven for such notorious, terrorist activities without taking any reciprocal defensive actions.  The Indian government lacks will and determination to bring to books the culprits of the 26/11 attacks or for that matter the mastermind behind the parliament attack who is captured and languishing in jail with high security.  It is quite clear from the methods adopted by the U S that culprits have to be eliminated without wasting time, precious time of the government machinery and money associated with it for the sake of giving security to the captured person!  In India, it is just the opposite!  The culprit is captured alive with injuries, given hospital treatment under heavy security cover which demands a sizable amount of national wealth to be spent, order a court trial which goes on for years and years without any results!  The confessional statement given by the accused is often retracted in the court saying it was given under police pressure just to gain time and divert the attention of the public from the ongoing issue.  In the meantime, the accused is housed in a very high security prison surrounded by a huge posse of policemen and National security guards on whom millions are spent everyday just for standing as security.  Even if the court pronounces the accused guilty and awards a death sentence, it can not be fulfilled so easily as the accused can appeal to the President for clemency and drag the proceedings easily without fear!  The President is nothing more than a rubber stamp of the ruling party which dictates the President to look the way the party looks!  In the meantime, political parties are bought by the outsiders to create road blocks in the process and to thwart any attempt to execute the death sentence.  The politicians play into the hands of vested interests and pawn the interests of the country for the sake of riches for self and family members.  There is no patriotism or National interest that prevails and the entire world knows that India is one of the most corrupt countries and the politicians more corrupt.  Anything can be done compromising country's interests by the mesmerising money trade!!  Death sentence for Afzal guru for the parliament attack and Ajmal Amir Kasab
  for the 26/11 Mumbai attack where so many persons lost their lives besides damage to properties in billions of dollars, is waiting to be executed but there is no political will to do it allowing the entire world to see how porous our political system remains and how selfish are the Indian politicians to support Terrorists and their organisations at the cost of our own country?

I would suggest that India can hire  the U S Navy Seals  to hunt the most wanted men by India and pay them the requisite money as they have been doing all these years for launching satellites for various facilities.  India does not have the guts or the dedicated, patriotic soldiers  to hunt down the enemies on its own and there is nothing wrong to seek foreign help to eliminate such criminals by paying money!  In other terms U S A can extort money in an official way along with the sale of Defence Equipments from India,  as  the underworld does in India!   There are several ways of improving the U S Economy and this can also be considered as one!!??  Is the U S listening??  After all, elimination of wanted Terrorists can also be considered as an indirect Defence Deal!!!
