AMAZING WAY TO RETIRE

The Most Amazing Way to Retire: Live with Dignity and Freedom after Retirement

Senior Living Project

Senior Living societies are gaining momentum within Indian real estate market. They target the middle and high income group of senior citizens who are financially stable. I recently visited Bhiwadi, an upcoming satellite town of NCR and checked out a senior living facility by Ashiana Housing Limited. Here are the findings:

It is not an old age home

When you buy a Senior Living property, you own it completely and legally. You can pass it on to your heirs. Flats can also be made available on rent if the property owner decides so. These homes are offered on both freehold and lease basis.

The society is equipped with many medical facilities like 24×7 ambulance service, physiotherapy, a round-the-clock nurse and OPD (out-patient department) service, among others. Yet it does not have the feel of a nursing home – something that distinctly separates it from an old age home.

*BJP and the Soldiers: The Bonhomie Has Turned Into an Abyss*
by      MAJOR GENERAL MRINAL SUMAN

Thursday, September 15,2016

PUNE: It was the month of November 1971. War was imminent and the forces were being mobilised at a frenetic pace. Troops and equipment were being ferried to the forward areas by tens of special military trains every day. For the Westerns sector, Ambala, Ludhiana and Jalandhar were the main hubs as almost all trains passed through these stations.

One still recalls the warm reception the troops got at these stations. Hordes of BJP and RSS workers received the trains with shouts of 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'. Local bands were in attendance playing martial music. The atmosphere was charged with nationalist fervour. Troops were treated with tremendous warmth; honoured with garlands; served hot food and tea; and assured of the whole country's support.

WHY MOBILE BATTERIES EXPLODE

 WHY DO MOBILE BATTERIES EXPLODE

As I am writing this piece, following the increased incidents of fire and explosion of Samsung Galaxy Note 7, that was touted as prime rival to iPhones, Samsung has stopped production and sales of this device and withdrawn the model. In September 2016, the company had recalled 250,000 devices after a number of the units spontaneously burst into flames. The battery was the culprit.

Political Blunders Snowball: Did We Join the Military for Jumlas?

LT GENERAL VIJAY OBEROI    Thursday, November 03, 2016

CHANDIGARH: In the series of blunders committed by the nations' first Prime Minister (PM) - Jawaharlal Nehru, the one relating to the amalgamation of the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) stands out clearly. It was the first and over the years it gained traction and momentum, as all blunders do.

Every day, on my way to work, I go past the headquarters of the Madras Sappers in Bengaluru. A tank in desert camouflage is at the gate, its cannon overlooking the pretty Ulsoor Lake. I'd like to row on it but civilians are forbidden. On the lake are little rock islands on the walls of which are painted the names of great Sappers victories, like Assaye Ganj.

मोदी सरकार की कालेधन पर सर्जिकल स्ट्राइक ने भाजपा नेताओ सहित सभी राजनितिक दलो के नेताओं की जमीन क्या अस्तित्व ही हिला दिया है। देश में व्यक्तित्व और व्यक्तिवाद की राजनीति में जहाँ पार्टी के कुछ ही नेता सब कुछ होते गए और देश की राजनीति के साथ ही अर्थव्यवस्था की भी धुरी बनते गए। देश की सभी प्रमुख राष्ट्रिय और क्षेत्रीय राजनितिक दलो के अध्यक्ष और प्रमुख नेता 10 - 20 हज़ार करोड़ से लेकर 10-20 से लेकर 50 लाख करोड़ तक के बिजनेस साम्राज्य के मालिक हें। इस समय अधिकांश छुटभैय्ये नेता भी 5-7 करोड़ के और विधायक व सांसद तो सौ से हज़ारों करोड़ तक की औकात वाले हें। देश के प्रमुख उद्योगों और व्यापार पर तो उनका कब्जा है ही, उससे कई गुना खेल विदेशो में है। इनकी सेकड़ो कंपनियो में प्रतिदिन कमीशन, रिश्वत और घोटालॉ की काली कमाई को सफ़ेद बनाने का काम चलता रहता है। देश के सेकड़ो नोकरशाह, सरकारी कर्मचारी और न्यायधीश के साथ ही दलाली और मीडिया से जुड़े लोग भी इसी राह पर हें। इसके साथ ही कर चोरी के उस्ताद उद्योगपति और व्यापारी तो हें ही। इन सभी लोगो के पास देश में मौजूद करेंसी का 90% तो है ही साथ ही 5 लाख करोड़ की जाली करेंसी भी है जो ये अपने गुर्गो यानि आतंकियों, नक्सलियों, ड्रग्स व् पोर्न माफिया, शराब व सट्टा माफिया के माध्यम से देशभर में फैलाकर मोटा माल कमाते हें।

INDIANS ARE HOBBESIAN

Hard hitting article but sadly true...!
The following message from New Zealand is forwarded as received.....

A New Zealander's view on reason for corruption in India:

Indians are Hobbesian (Culture of self interest)

Corruption in India is a cultural aspect. Indians seem to think nothing peculiar about corruption. It is everywhere.
