I had the opportunity to interact with the participants of the First Programme on Security Management for Security Officers of RBI at CAB, Pune on 23/24 Sep 2005. A majority of them appreciated the programme in terms of course content. The inclusion of HR topics was a first time initiative which, I believe, was well taken. The course coordinator and Capt Nair deserve a pat on the back for this. Training inputs go a long way in refreshing our memory in addition to learning something new every time we attend such programmes. Such gatherings also provide an excellent platform to air and share our views regarding our profession, updating our knowledge and of course to dispel our doubts regarding hearsay events. It is one thing to hear of an event from a third party and pass judgement and an entirely different ballgame to look one squarely in the eye and get to the crux of the issue. It is easy to get up on a moral high horse and sermonise. I met some of our friends who are "more sinned at than sinning". My advice to them is to maintain a low profile for some time and not to ruffle any more feathers. Thankfully, everyone has a very short memory in our wonderful organisation, so do your job quietly and get rid of the tag attached to you. The highlight of the programme was the address by ED (Administration) who exhorted all the Security Officers to work with the same zeal and dedication as they were doing in the Defence Services. He gave an extempore lecture the content of which was motivational and full of pep. The weather at Pune was a let down as it was raining most of the time.
P.S. - Capt Nair had one big crib : all the participants gleefully accepted their free T-Shirts and Caps but never turned up for the YOGA classes. NOT DONE GUYS !!!!
