TUNGA THE SMALL PUG
A TRIBUTE
We were away from our home,
To return the day next,
The small Black Pug embraced God's warmth,
Taking away all sorrows and pains,
A loss SO GREAT AND PAINFUL,
Rest in Heaven in peace.

LINE OF ACTUAL CONTROL
Have a great weekend mulling tover it.
HYGIENE & SANITATION
Having travelled the length and breadth of the country I have come across filths and garbage even in the posh localities with hardly any dissent by the local and blatant neglect by the civic bodies.
The divide of rich and poor differentiates in house sanitation, posh toilets etc, where as the poor use the money which is just adequate for maintaining daily livlihood and in the absence of state machinery dump the garbage outside unashamed, a mirrored image of unique Indian psyche.
Spittoon is the modest way of disposal of spit sitting in nawabi style which has taken a macabre specter and to see the babus spiting into the waste paper basket in the offices and the corners of the stairways are common.
Even Institutions have neglected the hygiene and sanitation, a cost saving measure over other activities. The next cuts were on maintenance of the buildings followed by downgrading of other set standards due to regular reduction in budgetary sanctions. Indeed the state of affairs in all government institutions and organization is pathetic.
The concern of the Health Department, invested with wide ranging powers to arrest such neglects certify recklessly without caring for the health hazard it poses.
Indians are aware of the benefits of good hygiene and sanitation but individual contributions has limited effect unless the government ensures that a common civic code is implemented across the board and that adequate funds are made available with accountability fixed on erring officials. Once such codes are laid the common public flouting civic values should be heavily fined if they endanger the civic ammenities provided and maintained by the state. Till such measures are taken we will remain in the doldrums and endanger the health of the common Indians.

Equality a misnomer, the war of words is on and the facts leading to inequality is not being introspected.Medical profession and medical ethics is all about medical doctrine and duty towards the patients. Moreover nurses and doctors are complimentary and to equate them will destabilise the system.
In the army somehow the aspect of equality between the doctors and the nurses came in the foreground and snowballed into a issue which even today see no sign of abating. It is here that we must enter into a dialogue and say that the issue is not of equality but of dignity. A doctor is the Master in medical profession and they should compliment the nurses and grant them the dignity of co-existence.
Under the umbrella of the DGAFMS, we have to co-exist. We only seek equality in terms of pay-commission recommendation and surely pay-parity can never equate respective professional positions. A flag car, or accepting Bagga Commission recommendation for nursing officers or providing same uniform will never equate both the profession but will surely provide dignity and social recognition to the nursing faternity and encourage them to give out their best.
At the same time the nurses must shoulder their responsibility without treading into the territory of the doctors and carryout patient care with dedication. We must follow the medical ethics and not become commanders, as our profession is to follow the advise of the doctors and provide patient care.
I am sure we will over come the differences and the old days of mutual trust and social co-existence will be restored.
