I recollect a 'gem' from my army days ! In one of the peace stations where I was posted there was a breed of officers who were called 'Part 'D' failed types'. These stalwarts were stuck at the 'Major' rank as they had failed to clear the Part D exam on successive attempts (and had eventually given up !!). They were characterised by their boisterous demeanour, shirking the assigned duties unabashedly and downing 'Rum' (and ONLY Rum !) by the bottle in the mess at last light (which was the start of the binge - the end used to be in the wee hours of the next day)।
One such guy in my unit had coined a phrase which he used to proclaim loudly at every gathering (thereby justifying his life style) which went thus :
" Colonel हम बन नही सकते , और Subedar Major हमे कोई बना नही सकता !"
If I were to coin a similiar phrase in our present occupation (or predicament ??), it would be something like :
" CGM हम बन नही सकते , और Caretaker हमे कोई बना नही सकता !"
So guys just relax and take it easy !!
