11/14, 09:27] Col Manu Paruthi: The ayurvedic medicine (from any Patanjali outlet) is called
Lakshaadi Guggal. Take one tablet/day  after meals for 15 days.
In case there's no acidity etc, increase the dosage to 2 tabs/ day (morning-evening after meals) and continue for about 2 months.
[11/14, 09:27] Col Manu Paruthi: The oil is a Yunani preparation. It's called Rogan Phosphorus. Apply it around the affected area. Don't massage it. It'll emit a lot of smoke, which is normal. I personally don't like the smell, but it's very effective too. Apply the oil twice a day for about a month.

Nationalism Discussions

Of course Army is upset 😂
Who wants to let go of control over MES 😁😁
[10/27, 13:33] dBanjo: Sir.. MES is the biggest cash cow...
The most loved to be hated ...
[10/27, 13:39] dBanjo: Poor Sir Ramki...
It is not about chain of reporting....
It is all about weilding control over MES contractors. ..

[10/27, 13:45] dBanjo: But you must... believe... he is shocked by the meekness of Commanders...
[10/27, 13:47] dBanjo: Yes... he has seen through the pomp ...
While bravery of manning posts is not questioned..
Political nepotism within services has been EXPOSED..
[10/27, 13:48] dBanjo: We are NOT united...
Hankering for Rank has rankled the RM....
[10/27, 13:51] dBanjo: The babus have exposed us....
There was something to be exposed...

We were found below our expected standards of propriety & probity
[10/27, 13:51] dBanjo: Babus were found ... to be doing .... babugiri...
[10/27, 13:52] dBanjo: Nothing else was expected of Babus
[10/27, 13:53] dBanjo: Babus have not risen..
But we have fallen. ..

I guess ...that surmises
[10/27, 13:55] dBanjo: Certainly. .. why not..

Expect nothing else..

I've served in NAVPAY ... from much young age I've had a view on such issues
[10/27, 14:12] dBanjo: You know why babus behave like this...

They do same bloody job all their lives..

You do different jobs throughout your career. .. do it diligently &sincerely
THIS induces caution
THAT is seen as weakness !!

Guys like me do SAME job all their lives
In all humility I give HELL to FAs Auditors Accountants (CDA)

BUT my kind of behaviour is considered UNDERMINING service interest !!

I've seen it repeatedly
I know the beans (expectedly)... but NICETIES overtake Hard nosed decisions ..

Uff .... full RoG here only 😂
[10/27, 14:13] dBanjo: All those in service... in Admin jobs... kindly go through FR&SR .... it will be EMPOWERING
[10/27, 14:14] dBanjo: Fundamental Rules (FR) and Supplementary Rules (SR)
[10/27, 14:15] dBanjo: Single book...
Babudoms Bible

Service Officer's Waterloo
[10/27, 14:18] dBanjo: I cry...

The scorn that Churchill had for Indians (and the reasons).... we have worked hard to prove the bastard right...
[10/27, 14:20] dBanjo: Churchill honed on to a SINGLE point in our behaviour.... Servile. ..

Turns out to be manifesting in ALL spheres of our Independent existence
[10/27, 14:41] dBanjo: *Churchill's Secret War* ... is a must read for all who want to know how he looked at us....

And how we - the educated lot - have assiduously worked - to prove him right !!!
[10/27, 14:42] dBanjo: Forgive me friends...
I only mean ...we have done much less than we are capable...

Dhawan spoke about it yesterday
[10/27, 14:45] dBanjo: Servility. .. that is being attempted to be addressed by RSS...

Vivekananda tried...

The educated bear the burden of Servitude
[10/27, 14:47] dBanjo: And.... Parrikar is core RSS...

Only those who have attended RSS shakha.... RSS indoctrination seminars ... will know what is Nationalism ...
[10/27, 14:49] dBanjo: But .... given a chance .... people will jump to say Fascism... Nationalism equating Nazism. .. etc etc... coz THAT has been our narrative ...

[10/27, 14:53] dBanjo: We are ashamed of Nation first...
The entire lot of us is Nationalistic. ...but COMPLETELY unconcerned about PUBLIC money....

- Baap ka paisa...
- 'So long not going to anybody's pocket'
- Kaam ho jana chahiye
(No matter how much money it takes)
[10/27, 14:54] NV SANDEEP DHAWAN: I have some RSS shakhas as a kid. V dedicated ppl. Haven't see more dedicated ppl than them in any other organisation. Not even armed forces.
[10/27, 15:06] dBanjo: In final analysis...

What is happening to status of faujis wrt Babus may not be right or correct

BUT ......

This political dispensation is LOOKING at the ENTIRE administrative machinery (including Defence) differently...

The proof or success or failure will be there for the nation to savor or suffer

But COZY CORNER is gone !!
