The Ukraine crisis-III


A ‘World Leader’ is the one who undertake the pain of the entire ones; who are deprived of their basic needs and often struggle to live a simple life; together or along with the similar others to cover their lives duly {as earned by each of them} to absorb the beauty of living together as ONE and not encourage the ones who are expert in stealing wealth from others through use of  tricks, adopting styles, each is different from the other while attempting to carry out the said act with notice of none; without offering slightest labour to acquire it except extending of a help in expanding the art of stealing within us; notwithstanding the fact that it too, is a knowledge so long one keeps the knowledge within himself or herself being it is an existence of DISORDER within the flowing ORDER and can never be allowed to cross limit. As and when it becomes rampant within us to earn easy wealth to oneself, through getting of encouragement from vested interests; everything bound to collapse one by one without a limit to face a premature death to oneself either as an Individual or as a Community or as a State or as a Nation or as a Continent or as a Globe where we all are living in. This is nothing but misuse of one’s Power; used purely for destruction of us.   

While taking over of Afghanistan by Russia was more or less legitimate in accepting the invitation from late President Nasser to help him overcome the challenge faced by the Country; Russia looked at the situation to obtain a self gain instead of taking the pain of Common General Public to alleviate their pain through directly confronting with the situation and not stressing upon the fact of establishing a base to challenge the others who too are living together, covering their lives separately in their own ways, living assorted all over the Globe. Being ‘Aim & Objective’ wrong; it ignited the series of actions all throughout the Globe to force ourselves to absorb the current situation where none  believes none other; to the extent of suspecting each other of a duly tied Couple; ignoring the oath undertaken by both at the time of marriage to cover their lives jointly by duly taking of pain of one by the other, no matter whomever is under pain for whatever reason; as each of us is different from the other and alone while living one’s life dully from birth to embracing death.

As and when, there exist a doubt in the minds of the entire we; when entering into contact between two Parties {with one under distress and the other expert in deriving of benefits from nothing}; such a tie can never ever deliver a fruitful outcome but shall grip the entire of us to live under an atmosphere of FEAR.

However, the mutual understanding between the Republic Ukraine and Russia to enter into a pact of handing over Republic of Crimea to Republic of Ukraine was well drawn out plan by both to derive a mutual benefits to both which was ratified by the respective Parliament of Republic of Ukraine as well as Republic of Russia as per desire of entire common General Public of both the Countries and the said Pact can never ever breakdown; so long both Counties exits as it were once when the agreement was translated into a Pact.

By virtue of content of M.O.U; Russia obtained an unqualified access to Sea to operate in the area and therefore the Republic of Crimea is a test ground of friendship between two Counties having a common approach of an access point to live together; notwithstanding the fact that it is an integral part of Republic of Ukraine. If any out of the three Parties stands against the Pact for whatever reason; it shall instantly not only transform into an assault directly on the Pact so signed between two sovereign Counties but also constitute insulting the desire of the Common General Public of both the Countries so involved in signing the Pact at an earlier date.

This being an assault on internal association between two Counties based on faith and value, it shall start a revolt within oneself too, to follow a similar action inside; for which Russia shall be the worst victim being no action of one {either in thought or physically executed} ever go waste without producing an equivalent result. This is being nothing but ignition of a chain reaction; it shall cover the entire us, in due course of time to force us distancing oneself from the other in view of rising of false suspicion by one on the other. Let us stop disrespecting the ones who hold the System once to allow us live till date without engaging in yet another Global War of much ferocious Nature.     

The way there is no value of the day, if night is not available; Democracy has no value if Communism is not available. Hence one is available for balancing the other. If we forcefully ignore this simple fact {through igniting the minds of the Common General Public by taking a side whenever there is conflict between two Parties for whatever reason} or reality of life, not unite ourselves to restore or retrieve the lost ORDER; we shall be the worst sufferer from such Conflicts that existed everyday everywhere from zero to infinity {or from Individual to Global in miniature term}. So long, we able to accommodate one by the other through doing of a negotiation; our length of life would have been infinite which we had cut short to nil to meet our selfish and superficial needs; sacrificing the innocent Common General Public during the process.      

Had we appreciate and enjoyed from our Hearts {instead of opposing it, considering it as an expansion of one’s Empire} the ‘Joy & Jubilations’ of General Common Public of Iraq following liberating the Country from the iron hands of the Authority in Power which was of twice the degree of intensity while joining of 2 Germanys to ONE {In view of friendly Countries surrounding it}; this World would have an living place for Angels instead of mortals.

Offering of just Justice to a deprived one, set the destiny of everything. The current development between the Republic of Ukraine and Republic of Russia is not offering of Justice to any but it shall ignite limitless odd situations as after effects within us that shall hunt us forever; even after our embracing of death together. Let us renounce our desire to expand physically but try our best to do the same internally to consider the entire Globe is nothing but ‘I’ to look after it round the clock by everyone of us without an exception to enjoy the beauty of living together under an Environment of ‘FREENESS’ to the extent possible. We just keep repeating the same point over and over again to avoid a much greater implication of it worldwide.

The Ukraine crisis-II


While zero is always fulfilled, most potent as well as most powerful and yet always remains in Equilibrium State with assistance from none{without a second available}, the infinite is flexible being originated from zero but define or set its own course of action with respect to covering of time into the future. Therefore, while the zero is immortal, the infinity is always go through the cycle of birth and death depending upon the actions it prefers to act upon or perform during the course of its life to determine its age of either dying early through ailment or carrying of a ailing health due to rampant disregard to the running ORDER that is prevailing within it or live a longer life through following the flowing ORDER so that nothing collide with each other taking recourse to the policy of ‘give and take’ for a mutual benefits to the entire that are embraced by the creation. There are as many as 12 Set ORDERS of which one is free and as many as 11 Gravitational Constants of which one is free; that govern all entities from zero to infinitely; once remain under the control of creation after being originated from Zero. Hence both zeros are different from each other as far as beholding of qualifications by both are concerted being one is a reflection of the ORGINAL one only {but free to act on its own}.While the former is property less; the others govern by properties which is different for each exactly like various Countries behold by us.   

Let us Study another situation, in an Educational Institution which is more often than not a non-profit Organization is the backbone of our civilization to sort out or arranged ourselves to assign various duties to each of us as per one’s qualification to ensure a longer life to oneself as an entity either as an Individual or a Community of a State or a Country or the entire Globe through offering assistance to the running or flowing ORDER to see a better life each day that determine the existence of us with an ‘elastic life span’ either to die early or live a loner life most joyfully by the entire us . The Students who became or considered qualified as offered by the Institution lead their own life once imparting of knowledge by the concerned such Institution is over; without having any obligation to return nothing to the giver of knowledge; even through there are vast INCOME differences between each other. The Qualification once pronounced can neither be taken back nor nullified under normal circumstances. This is Universal or common Law that governs the entire us from zero to infinity. If we decide to break it, digester shall suddenly strike the entire us being these are nothing but Pact or Contract M.O.U between two entities.    

As and when we entered into a contact for doing of a Business with each other of whatever nature, both parties are bounded by it forever; unless a higher or a better mutual understanding is arrive at; at a future date for whatever reason{mostly for good of both}. The Ukraine is an Independent Nation having various divisions with it to govern the Country in the most orderly way or manner or fashion of which no Regional Section can offer a desire to make an alliance with any other Power outside of the Country for whatever reason by virtue of granting of anatomy to it to act itself to implement its desire on matters relating to Regional issues within the Country. Unless and until the Centre agree or ratify the desire so expressed by any, through passing of an act in the main Parliament of the Nation of allowing or bifurcation of a particular area from the Nation to join another Power outside the Country; such unilateral decisions of any; are unlawful in the eye of the Law. If we allow any to do so for whatever reason; irrespective of whether or not the expressing of the said desire by any section of us is peaceful or violent; anarchy shall prevail all over the Globe; in view of our giving more stress or importance upon {developing of lust towards; ignoring TRUTH} Power drawn either from supply of Money or from the barrel of the Gun. Accordingly, the world community must insist that statuesque is maintained and not allow any to ignite a disorder go loose within us or within the Globe to destroy ourselves reasonless citing whatever reason in doing so. This is more or less a similar action unleashed at Afghanistan but executed in a Style much different than the former to meet with similar fate at a later date. This is not expansion but pure contraction of us to go extinct sooner than later.     

Again, when Russia decided to offer the Republic of Crimea to the Republic of Ukraine as a part of the Pact signed between two independent Countries either for the overall good of the entire us or to allow the flowing running ORDER; run more at ease in a earlier date through passing of an act in Parliament of Russia unopposed by any; it constituted a rightful desire of entire Common General Public of Russia to so decide the fate of Republic of Crimea to remain a legitimate part of Ukraine which was authenticated by various other Parities {Governments} later that were part of overlooking the functioning of Republic of Ukraine either directly or indirectly. No subsequent resolution(s) can now undo it being both the ‘TIME’ of doing of the said action is (was) vastly different from each other unless and until both Parties agree to the change opted for by any {even if one is willing to do a change for whatever reason as well as through passing of any act under a different Government having a different view of point}. How then a small part of either an area or a population can take a reverse decision on its own to merge with Russia; ignoring the Pact entered into much earlier with large of the largest majority of Public at a earlier date between two Sovereign Counties? Therefore, the decision of Parliament of Republic of Crimea is wrong not only on the eye of the Law but also Crimea is guilty of engaging in a gross misconduct in the eye of the Parliament of Russia as well as in the eye of the Parliament of Ukraine. If a Country sells something to someone, it cannot claim the territory to which a Product is or was sold as its territory. We might possibly have entered into this phase too to define us! 

By saying so; we are criticizing neither Russia nor the western Countries but appealing to the entire us; as available within the Globe {as Independent Power Centre} to reason to act and not take resort to tactics which might ignite series of follow up action that certainly go against us to push the entire humanity to Stone Age. Since there are enough of opportunities lying in front of us to resolve the issue much amicably; we appeal to the entire such Powers to show restrain from engaging in War {Cold or Direct} of any nature and try our best to establish ORDER over DISORDER everywhere all over the Globe. It looked to us from a distance that we are dropping ourselves from the Sky above with no safety gear in-place.

The Ukraine crisis

In a human body, there are trillions of living cells. each one is different than the other by virtue of place and position {as well as performing of duty by one} as beholds by one but all are working together to give a name to the word ‘I’ as carried by each one of us outside to demand a position to oneself in the Society. Some consider the one’s body as ‘I’, yet others consider the entire Globe as ‘I’ and a very few consider the entire Universe as ‘I’. The more the word ‘I’ expands within one’s mind with appropriate feed from the Heart; the more the LOVE is distributed amongst the entire enclosed by it to ensure that all entities within it either seen or unseen, live-in under an atmosphere of intense peace and tranquillity. The process is same as well as infinite from zero to infinity. In order to absorb the sweetness of living together; ignoring the division of various organs within the body, each of which is functioning differently, there are trillions of living bacteria, tiny of the tiniest in size trying round the clock to invade the body; attacking the weakest point of the body; of which almost each and every of these assorted cells is killed by the body’s immune System irrespective of the area where the infecting is taking place without showing of a cause to any for doing so but to maintain the running ORDER within the body intact. The moment body accepts the outside ORDER as its own through doing of confusion; we suddenly fall sick or even face death as and when outside assistances {from outside the body} too failed to produce a result.

The environment is exactly same at outside too. So long, we able to recognise who is a friend and who is an enemy to keep the running ORDER intact, through stretching oneself that much length to reach the nook and corner of the Globe and try our best to restore our lost ORDER which is in-force all over the Globe at present; there would not have so much of disturbances everywhere within the Planet; where no one is a winner to get control over the running ORDER to remove all such obstructions so created by us {in view of intrusion of vested interests into the scene with knowledge of none} for restoring it to an earlier date when we were passing our lives most joyfully with cooperation extended by all towards all without questioning one from which Region one is hailing from.

Cuba is next neighbour to USA. It is not USA who is attacking it but it was Russia through use of it as a Proxy intended to destroy USA during the year 1962. Even though there was enough ground on the part of USA to retaliate with entire world backing it; it invited peace to prevail to the extent of sacrificing the life of our Most loved President John F Kennedy to acquire the same. Similarly it was Iraq who attacked Kuwait and burned off its entire ‘Oil Wells’ of Kuwait prior to vacating the occupied area on demand by a third Party {mostly USA}. Was he then beholding a desire to bring peace into the area? Yes, there were mistakes in analysing the situation at Iraq due to various factors which went against us now. The World saw no wrong in doing so but vested interests took the fate away from the innocent Public of Iraq to bar it, from becoming a part of the world community to hear {or raise} their voice reverberate within us too to add value to the entire humanity. The world community that time made no wrong in stopping a greater digester taking place in Middle East in the hands of Iraq.    

Upon citing exactly a similar cause, Russia invaded Afghanistan when late President Nasser failed to convince any of offering of help through doing of a physical presence but it left or vacated the area; creating infinite numbers of insurgents who are out of control now everywhere within the Globe. In Syria too, none ever came forward to resolve the issue peacefully but prefer becoming a witness of mass killing of the innocent Common General Public through inciting one or the other side by such vested interests. Again what for Russia backed the Military Regime at Egypt?  The Iran is possibly an exception. Who are responsible for all these conflicts? Let us see the other side of North Korea’s dilemma, where the Head of the Country is constantly under the impression that someone within the Regime is raising a revolt against the Authority and hence the entire are living under a shadow constant fear. Is it called running of a Government with self drowned in constant fear?  

With the World is under keep deep in fighting conflicts with each other of one nature or the other to claim one’s position which is taken away by the Powerful others through doing of trick; we appeal to all to show restrain by the entire us; so that the peace loving General Public of ‘Republic of Ukraine’ decide their own future through entering into legitimate dialogue with all to resolve their internal issues. We saw the agitation mostly peaceful except intrusion of vested interests into the scene at the later stage of the agitation which prompted all to doubt ourselves about our actual motives while we were trying our best to meet our various legitimate demands.   

Unless we join hands together to fight Lawlessness everywhere; our days are numbered on the Planet Earth. To exist ourselves; we need both Russia as well as western Countries exist concurrently with none opposing the other when one is fighting a noble cause of braining the lost ORDER back to normal but support it or by remaining neutral. Let us stop saying something outside and do a reverse in executing of an action which is full of motives.

We adore the decision of Navy Chief to resign


We never fully understood the Resignation of Navy Chief Admiral DK Joshi so hurriedly; hours after the Accident that took place during the time of Test Drive of the ill fated Submarine but if he did it on his own ‘will & desire’ for his inability to absorb the pain of the Navy personnel who had lost their lives in the current Accident; we adore it with utmost respect for offering his highest degree of respect to those who lost their lives. But such happening of repeated Accidents in war ships only{not commercial Carrier}; is a matter of grave concern to the Country; which directly reflects the up-keeping of such Fleets as well as our preparedness to face any eventualities arising out for whatever reason to protect the Nation. We now know that the Fire on Sindhuratna was the 10th such accident involving an Indian Navy’s asset and the third submarine accident in the last seven months. In August last year, Navy submarine INS Sindhurakshak sank in the Mumbai harbour after an explosion on board, killing 18 sailors {nonetheless Navy is hopeful of reusing INS Sindhurakshak at a later date} which is the highest cause of concern for the entire us. Facing of Accidents in Nuclear Powered submarine is understandable in rare occasion but others must not face it so frequently. Therefore, the exact causes of all such Accidents are not known to us. Furthermore, the entry of sudden heavy smoke in the Crew accommodation area without detection of the Fire that went loose soon after is worrisome.  

The Resignation of the Chief of Navy neither can resolve the issues nor infuse a sense of safety to the entire that are in control of such warships; other than satisfying the condition of relieving him of the pain, he undertook in his heart which is ‘well and good’ as far as listening to one’s heart is concern. If he is an expert in the line; we expect that Navy as well as Government shall try its best to accommodate him in some Position to overcome the situation or eliminate the cause of happening so, in the best possible way. Earlier late Lalbahadur Shastri submitted his resignation taking Moral Responsibility for a similar cause when he was a Minister of Railways without seeking to resolve the issue first {being dedicated his life for serving the others} ; so that there is no repetition of it but yet we are carrying on with the same old ailment.

While I was in charge of maintenance of ‘Oil Rigs’ at OIL INDIA LTD; we had 2 very old (more than twenty years) stream Rigs, the parts of which were locally manufactured in-house under very strict supervision as and when required. Once, when we took up the matter with Manufacturer of the Rig to procure a particular item; the Manufacture offered ignorance of manufacturing of any such Rig by the Company. This is exactly how a Machine Function if proper maintenance is in-force under expert hands. The ‘OIL’ later discarded the Rig due to requirement of risky handling of it by the ‘Drilling Crew’. Therefore, the life of a Machine depends more upon; how we maintain it rather than the life covered by it. However, for a Ship to ply at Ocean irrespective of whether or not is Warship; the conditions are somewhat different being the both objects are not supporting each other or always plying under conflicting situations as far as environments under which both exits to remain alive. Therefore, it calls for constant offering of an urgent as well as foolproof ‘maintenance schedule’ of each and every part of the Ship to make the Ships remain under full health & to keep it operational round the clock. 

When I was in USA for a very short period, just for about a week’s time in Homestead at Maryland, during the year 2007, for the first 1st 4 days, there was blow of siren at @4AM signalling a warning of Fire in the Hostel but all were found false; nonetheless we all duly vacated it. But when the Firemen inspected the Rooms one by one; they found that a guest was preparing food for himself in a small fry Pan prior to the leaving for the Office. The little of the littlest smoke produced by it during preparation of food was caught by the Smoke detector to raise the Alarm. If such sensing instruments are available with us or in Market at present, the said heavy production of Smoke inside the Submarine for whatever reason has puzzled us to a great degree to take enough of pain in our hearts for its unfortunate occurrence.

Since, in a Submarine, the ventilation System is most important to ensure safely of the members of the Crew; we are at our wit’s end to know of; where from the Toxic Gas along with heavy smoke produced somewhere within the Ship had entered the resting Cabinet of the Crew? This is, therefore, a matter of grave concern for the entire of us to raise many doubts in our minds. Accordingly, setting aside the sabotage factor; we strongly believe that it is the carbon deposits within Airflow ducts that caught fire {either through development of friction inside or coming into contact with exhaust Air from the Engine} to engulf the other areas which cannot be stopped through spaying of water from outside being the exact spot {location} of fire or Fire itself can never be seen from outside being duly covered {often with asbestos outside} except throwing of Smoke elsewhere through the Ducts.


Hence, we as an outsider {and having short of knowledge on the matter being discussed} we suggest that all Air flow Ducts are cleaned duly allowing an appropriate Gap in-between which shall ensure that no fire inside any Ship takes place in future; apart from ensuring that clean fuel is feed to the Engines with appropriate octane value of Diesel remains always intact. This holds good everywhere; where artificial air flow is maintained using an external source. Further, being the atmospheric pressure & temperature at Russia is much different than that of ours; we must draw a separate maintenance Schedule to keep such Ships in ORDER and in running condition.
  
{NOTE: If the fire started in Battery Room (as reported) where Batteries are connected in series for starting the Engines of Air Compressors (but always kept under full charge for emergency use in case of any Engine failure; even though the Ship is under running condition) to build pressure in ‘Air compressors’ to start the Main Engines through use of ‘High Pressure Air’, how the smoke quickly travelled into the resting area of the members of the Crew? Such fire might occur either due to faulty batteries procured or due to lack of proper maintenance by keeping the connectors loose or due to non- attending the area by any being a venerable area for producing of heavy Sparking without notice. The same too had happened in newly lunch Aircraft (Airbus 380) when the Manufacture decided to replace all Batteries in the entire Fleet of Aircrafts so lunched. Therefore, it is not exactly the lone reason of the misshape}

An unfortunate incident


What exactly is Law? It is nothing but a set of rules that often existed within a System to allow all entities residing within the System never resort to any unfair means or engaging in fighting with each other for whatever reason to break the running ORDERS within it to limitless pieces; in order to secure a self gain of whatsoever nature without earning it legitimately. Therefore, when there is a breakdown of the running ORDER or Law in-force within a particular area or territory, it is our foremost duty to study the Environment around the area first, to find the exact cause of happening so; so that it don’t repeat; before arriving at a conclusion about the motive of the doer which may not be for the purpose of harming any; while making entry into or coming inside or within a restricted area. Within a Police Station, a constable might have a different opinion from that of the Officer in-charge of the Police Station by virtue of having different degree of knowledge and experience by both; even though there often arises occasions when both are wrong in doing of an interpretation of a particular Law to apply to a ‘wrong doer’ while arresting him or her. The more we approach the Higher up with respect to the issue, the more light might be immerged to us to act on the action much more differently. This reflects the degree of knowledge we behold by each of us in approaching a particular situation with a degree of urgency.   

Alive Pirates are mostly available in open Sea or International waters where exits no such Laws to protect one from the other when meet with a threat of any nature from any; other than issuing of a distress call through taking recourse to firing into the sky to invite the notice of other Ships nearby that too might be available within the area. Mostly after keeping the Mother Ship in an isolated place; the Pirates often fanned out in small boats to capture other commercial Ships, sailing through the area for a ransom. India too is a victim of it. Furthermore, any Intellectual Property of any, stolen by any via any means too is called Piracy.

To draw a resemblance, while the occupation of ‘GOA’ by the Portuguese and the subsequent action of India to take over it when late Jawaharlal Nehru was PM of India; using force via Sea, Air & Land might fall into this category {being prior dialogue between both the Countries was absent}, the freeing of Maldives from occupying by Pirates when late Rajiv Gandhi was PM of India was not {being prior discussion took place}; notwithstanding the fact that the Power from the barrel of the Guns were used on both occasions. Therefore, we might call it as an action similar to the one adopted by the Pirates. But how these 2 Marines ever fall into this category? Therefore, it might be termed as Corruption of devaluing of the value of our Country, in the art of which, we are more than experts to execute it most perfectly with the notice of none. The liberal Gun Laws at USA too is not free from such incidences; even though an intense ORDER of freeness is in-force to remain ourselves intact.             

We acquired free sailing of our ships through such International waters by virtue of our remaining together as a one world Community. Such evil elements taking advantage of the said gap existed within us to govern ourselves; often robbed foreign ships sailing through a particular route or a particular stretch in the Open Ocean. They are active everywhere which is fast expanding within us in absence of appropriate Laws put into place nonetheless much reduced. Till the other day such Pirates were {mostly from Somalia} gaining tremendous strength; taking advantage of the fluid situation prevailing within the Globe; it became necessary for all Counties to carry armed guards during all such movements of Ships in open Ocean from the point of origin to the point of destination.

As and when we keep ‘Arms & ammunitions’ in a particular place to protect ourselves for whatever reason; there bound to be an Accident of any nature when we often come across borders either between two Nations or entering from International water into a territorial Zone. Such unintentional action often resulted in cross firing at borders between two Countries reasonless. Accordingly, the two Italian Marines mistook the fishermen as Pirates being the environment under which we are living-in forced to them to believe so. Hence, the MEA remaining silent on the matter is beyond our understanding. If it was considered as a war imposed upon us by lone 2 armed Soldiers to take over the Country by a Foreign Power; we are finding our justification short of any rightful reasoning, use of logic and common knowledge. The Kerala Police might have made a mistake so also NIA; this doesn’t mean that we all agree with the said finding; for drawing of a battle line to protect us from the threat posed if any by the 2 Marines. If someone down the line makes a mistake; is not it duty of the Higher up to correct it? Since it has caused much of damage to the Country’s image in the eye of the others; the one who approved the said finding at MEA as accurate; must be answerable to the Country in our view irrespective of whether or not the entity is serving the Country still. 

For each and every such clarification or opinion; if we need to approach the SC for further clarification, pinpointing it exactly where we are wrong; we voice our strong of the strongest protest to the Government for offering such High Positions to such personalities who know nothing other than to pass one’s blame to the other without any end. Since the 2 innocent Fishermen were accidently killed while performing their respective duties or engaging in Prayer; we pray the entire connected with the Subject to offer utmost respect to them through whatever means Government feels as most appropriate. While breaking of ongoing friendship of one with others is very easy to do but building up of the said lost relationship take ages to complete in view of infusion of suspicion into the relationship so maintained earlier. Let LOVE expand everywhere and not engage ourselves in forcing it go through a contraction of it which shall automatically build a distance between each other of us irrespective of entities involved; while exchanging it with each other.

A Brilliant IDEA gone waste


Upon receiving a call from the Head Quarter of OIL INDIA LTD (Personnel Section) based at Duliajan, Assam to know my mind whether or not I shall join the New Position at Duliajan, the letter for which was issued to me for more than a month and half back; wherein the last date of joining was indicated at 8/7/2004; I replied that I was unaware of it being no communication was made with me either verbally or through forwarding the letter to me by any in this connection. Being overjoyed on getting the information together with seeing of bearing of a fruit of fighting with the management of the Company for almost a decade to transfer me from Rajasthan Project to Assam following completion of ‘Exploratory Drilling Operation’ within the area as per commitment given by the Company prior to my transfer to Jodhpur, Rajasthan from Duliajan, Assam {mainly to look after my ailing Parents as per their desire expressed}; I demanded the letter from GM(RP) who kept it hidden from me, up-to nearer to the time of expiry of joining date and sought an explanation from him for doing so when he replied that no ‘human being’ ever stay in a Company following inflicting of so much humiliation by each and every {men & women alike}; working within an Organization and hence he intended to help me in securing my entire dues hassle free within 24 Hrs including that of withhold salary of mine; if I submit my letter of ‘Early Retirement’ at RP itself which help  might not be extended to me at Duliajan, Assam. He further connected me to acting CVO over Phone to confirm correctness of his deliberation with me; who too agreed to withdraw all lined up Departmental Inquiries against me if I follow the Instruction as stated or desired by GM (RP). While appreciating the words delivered to me as such by any, I said that since it was more of a desire of my Parents to cover their last days at Duliajan staying with me and that as my long fighting for more than decade with the Company had bore fruit at last; I behold a strong of the strongest desire to submit my letter of ‘Early Retirement’ at Duliajan instead of ‘RP’ to cool down my burning HEART to the extent possible. 

However, there suddenly developed a rider. Since the ‘Migration Certificate’ of our son after clearing his Class XII Examination was misplaced {of all Students} during transit without which he cannot take admission into any College and the School Principal too, refused to issue the same to any other; other than directly to the student or to his Parents {even with submission of undertaking on Court Paper}; I was at my wits end what to do being the dead line for submitting the same to the concerned College was just @4 days later than that of my last date of joining  at Duliajan and hence I found a clash of dates of meeting 2 important deadlines within a very short gap.

Accordingly following joining the New Position at Duliajan amidst limitless humiliations; I have submitted my letter for ‘Early Retirement’ and went through the process of facing a Committee set-up for the purpose by GM (O) to convince my decision of doing so as well as of my decision of surrendering of @ 6 months of earned leave in lieu of serving the Company for 3 Months. Accordingly the Company arranged my return Ticket to Jodhpur, Rajasthan to collect the ‘Migration Certificate’ from the School concerned and presented it to the concerned College at Bangalore on the last date of the same as set by the University .Following returning to Jodhpur once again; we sold off almost entire of our house hold items or goods at a throw price and hired a mini Truck to take the leftover to Bangalore where we are staying now.{During the period, our son met with a very serious Road Accident  with multiple fractures in the Head in a Hit & Run Case. When the said vehicle tried to run over his unconscious body for the second time, a local Auto-rickshaw Driver saved his life; breaking one of his legs from which he is still suffering and goes nowhere without me still}.     

Since my visiting of Duliajan, Assam was much different than normal or ordinary; the Company was pre-informed about my schedule of staying just for one day at Duliajan and returning again to ‘RP’ to attend an urgent issue of collecting the ‘Migration Certificate’ of our son from the School concerned. But after reaching Duliajan, when I went to the Guest House to stay for a night; I was told that I being no longer an executive of the Company to entitled to stay in the Guest House, my staying was arranged at the ‘Apprentice’s Hostel which was @ 3 KM away from the Dujiajan Township; which mostly remains empty of occupants unless ‘School Dropped outs’ pay visits to the Company to take free Training as a part of their School curriculum. When I reported therein, I saw no human being around except the cooks but saw nothing much wrong in covering a night alone there; without having a slightest idea about what was stored for me to face in the Hostel.  

While on the way to join the New Position at Duliajan; I met one of my best friends {an Ex OIL employee working at private Sector elsewhere that time} at Kolkata Airport who knew everything about what had befallen upon me; narrating many of the incidences which no 3rd Party supposed to knew of. On facing a query from me how did he know about it; he took the issue into a much different direction through doing of a trick and hurriedly introduced a Group of about 5 persons as his associates { from the look, they were certainly not from NE but from other parts of India} who looked like Criminals in Gentlemen’s dresses. In the same breath, he requested me to stay at Duliajan for few days instead of one day only. On wondering how he came to know about my schedule of visit to Duliajan; he together with the Group vanished from the scene. Considering the incident as normal; I allowed the incident to go off my head.

My first night (7/7/04) in the Apprentice’s Hostel went-off well nonetheless struggled with Bed bugs whole night to get a sleep in view of absence of any adequate care given to the Hostel being built mostly for student Trainees only. In the next day (8/7/04); following my joining Office I was given an attached Car as per Company’s rule to provide such a facility to all employees for the first 3 days of joining in a new Position. On completing all formalities towards receiving P.F as well as submission of the letter of ‘Early Retirement’ letter duly; I had returned to the Hostel after office hours and allowed the Car to break-off; unlike others who prefer to keep the same together with them for off time use.

In the evening time when I intended to call the vehicle back to pay to visit to one my friends {with Hostel totally empty}; I found that the telephone line was suddenly got disconnected and became instantly dead which was a very rare phenomena to happen so at Duliajan with weather condition more than normal at that particular point of time. When I offered a peep or a glance outside; I saw the Criminals introduced to me at Kolkata Airport by my close friend slowly circling around the Hostel in a Brand New Ambassador Car with Number Plate painted Black and one such person in control of the wheel. No sooner I saw them {who had already cut the Telephone line to delay receiving of any message from any through it, if any accident happened to any by any chance}; I sensed danger to my life having automatically all Doors & windows got closed. I took shelter under the Bed where I had fallen asleep. Since them unable to see the attached vehicle around the Hostel to get sure of my presence in the Hostel; they kept knocking all Doors including that of mine one too and later withdrawn presumably after postponing the Task for early next day; exactly alike one of my colleague {late P.K. Saikia} who was shot dead in the early morning while proceeding to the Airport; ignoring my advice to advance the time of proceeding to Airport and was supposed to join me at Jodhpur (RP) on transfer nonetheless I never saw carrying of any arms by them in open.

Being broke-off early; the Driver of the attached Car unable to sleep as if he was continuously hearing my voice of calling him and accordingly he decided to pass the night in the Hostel instead of at home and reported to me just past mid-night. After waking up and after making sure that they are not the Criminals on hearing the sound of the Car; I saw the Driver of the Attached Car, when I ran towards the Car with my small hand beg in one hand and fled from the area losing no time and proceed to Airport where both slept at the Airport’s Car Parking Area inside the vehicle. This is the most Absolute Miracle experienced by me during my life time till date being it duly averted a foolproof Plot drawn up many Brilliant Brains joining hands together to eliminate me reasonless. Since these are facts; all have the right to know it.

The hiring attributes of GOOGLE


I am reproducing hereunder an ‘article’ wrote by Thomas L Friedman that carry enough of inner meaning within it to acquire knowledge about ourselves who exactly we are in order to create a rightful environment around ourselves to grow together with time. The ‘article’ is available in the following Link:


Last June, in an interview with Adam Bryant of The New York Times, Laszlo Bock, the senior vice president of people operations for Google – i.e, the guy in charge of hiring for one of the world’s most successful companies - noted that Google had determined that academic results weren’t very important.‘‘[Grade point averages] are worthless as a criteria for hiring, and test scores are worthless ...We found that they don’t predict anything.’’ He also noted that the ‘‘proportion of people without any college education at Google has increased over time’’ - now as high as 14 per cent on some teams. At a time when many people are asking, ‘‘How’s my kid gonna get a job?’’ I thought it would be useful to visit Google and hear how Bock would answer. Don’t get him wrong, Bock begins, ‘‘Good grades certainly don’t hurt.’’ Many jobs at Google require maths, computing and coding skills, so if your good grades truly reflect skills in those areas that you can apply, it would be an advantage. But Google has its eyes on much more.

“There are five hiring attributes we have across the company,’’ explained Bock. ‘‘If it’s a technical role, we assess your coding ability, and half the roles in the company are technical roles. For every job, though, the No. 1 thing we look for is general cognitive ability, and it’s not IQ. It’s learning ability. It’s the ability to process on the fly. It’s the ability to pull together disparate bits of information. We assess that, using structured behavioural interviews, that we validate to make sure they’re predictive.’’

The second, he added, ‘‘is leadership - in particular emergent leadership as opposed to traditional leadership. Traditional leadership is, were you president of the chess club? Were you vice president of sales? How quickly did you get there? We don’t care. What we care about is, when faced with a problem and you’re a member of a team, do you, at the appropriate time, step in and lead. And just as critically, do you step back and stop leading, do you let someone else? Because what’s critical to be an effective leader in this environment is you have to be willing to relinquish power.’’

What else? Humility and ownership.

‘‘It’s feeling the sense of responsibility, the sense of ownership, to step in,’’ he said, to try to solve any problem - and the humility to step back and embrace the better ideas of others. ‘‘Your end goal,’’ explained Bock, ‘‘is what can we do together to problem solve. I’ve contributed my piece, and then I step back.’’ And it is not just humility in creating space for others to contribute, says Bock, it’s ‘‘intellectual humility. Without humility, you are unable to learn''. It is why research shows that many graduates from hotshot business schools plateau. ‘‘Successful bright people rarely experience failure, and so they don’t learn how to learn from that failure,’’ Bock said.

‘‘They, instead, commit the fundamental attribution error, which is if something good happens, it’s because I’m a genius. If something bad happens, it’s because someone’s an idiot or I didn’t get the resources or the market moved ... What we’ve seen is that the people who are the most successful here, who we want to hire, will have a fierce position. They’ll argue like hell. They’ll be zealots about their point of view. But then you say, ’here’s a new fact,’ and they’ll go, ’Oh, well, that changes things; you’re right.’’’ You need a big ego and small ego in the same person at the same time.

The least important attribute they look for is ‘‘expertise’’. Said Bock: ‘‘If you take somebody who has high cognitive ability, is innately curious, willing to learn and has emergent leadership skills, and you hire them as an HR person or finance person, and they have no content knowledge, and you compare them with someone who’s been doing just one thing and is a world expert, the expert will go: ’I’ve seen this 100 times before; here’s what you do.’’’ Most of the time the non expert will come up with the same answer, added Bock, ‘‘because most of the time it’s not that hard’’. Sure, once in a while they will mess it up, he said, but once in a while they’ll also come up with an answer that is totally new. And there is huge value in that.

To sum up Bock’s approach to hiring: Talent can come in so many different forms and be built in so many non-traditional ways today; hiring officers have to be alive to every one - besides brand-name universities. Because ‘‘when you look at people who don’t go to school and make their way in the world, such are exceptional human beings. And we should do everything we can to find those people.’’ Too many universities, he added, ‘‘don’t deliver on what they promise. You generate a tonne of debt; you don’t learn the most useful things for your life. It’s [just] an extended adolescence.’’

Google attracts so much talent it can afford to look beyond traditional metrics, like GPA. For most young people, though, going to university and doing well is still the best way to master the tools needed for many careers. But Bock is saying something important to them, too: Beware. Your degree is not a proxy for your ability to do any job. The world only cares about - and pays off on - what you can do with what you know (and it doesn’t care how you learned it). And in an age when innovation is increasingly a group endeavour, it also cares about a lot of soft skills - leadership, humility, collaboration, adaptability and loving to learn and re-learn. This will be true no matter where you go to work
