1. What a relief it was to come to know that Independence Day was celebrated yesterday without any major hiccups throughout the country. We were on tenterhooks owing to the intelligence inputs received from the local 'cloak-and-dagger' guys. Since nobody wants to take any chances these days - I dont blame those guys even if they had given us the tip 'off the cuff'. It is really a shame that we have to be apprehensive when such an event approaches instead of rejoicing and merry making. Gone are the days when this day signalled guzzling Beer in the mess !!!
2. Another incident related with yesterday was an SMS which I got from someone amid a whole lot of others which went thus : "Happy Independence Day. If you are married please ignore this message". Of all the messages received this one was the best, I daresay.
3. A pleasant surprise which I want to share with all my colleagues is the 'passing with flying colours' the CISA exam by our friend from Hyderabad - Capt S.S.Raman. He has passed the said exam with over 80% marks which is a tremendous feat. This speaks volumes about the capability of youngsters in our cadre. Another such instance is from Kolkata where one of our colleagues has cleared the JAIIB exam with distinction. Well done folks !!!
4. My friend Rajeev Kumar from Chennai and Yashpal Charan from Mumbai are proceeding to UK in the third week of October to attend the Security Survey and Design course at ARC Training International Academy of Security Management.

With every passing year the dependence on the security is increasing on the In-dependence days. The way things are going, I think the day will come when PM or the Prez will be shown hoisting the National Flag and delivering the speeches on the TV only. There was a time when Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru and other leaders used to take a walk on the Raj Path. I have myself seen at different occassions Dr. Zakir Hussain, Mr. Swaran Singh, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Mr. Zulfikar Ali Bhotto and his daughter taking a walk at Shimla's famous Mall Road during my school and college days. But these are our own doings. It reminds me of a famous couplet in urdu, ' Yeh waqt bhi dekha hai tarikh ki ghadiyon ne, lamhon ne khata ki thi sadion ne saza payee'( the history has witnessed the times when mistakes were committed in seconds and the centuries had to pay the price)
