Warrier's Collage on Sunday April 13, 2025

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday, April 13, 2025 Friends I was in Kerala from April 2 to 9, 2025. Visited some relatives and friends in Thiruvananthapuram and Thrissur and attended a wedding on Sunday, April 6, 2025. Tried to meet maximum number of friends and relatives in the available time. At the wedding we attended, I interacted with 3 guests who were 92 plus. None of them were complaining about their own health issues or corruption in government. Their approach to life had changed. They were more practical and happy and contented. We need not wait to reach 90 plus for that changeover. The world outside is different from what we guess, reading WhatsApp messages and watching Media's "Vruthaakandhakshobham" (word borrowed from Shankaracharya). Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday during this week. Nice Day M G Warrier A Hanuman Jayanti on April 12, 2025 Those who have time and patience, please read Swami Swaroopananda's write up @ Speaking Tree (Times of India, April 12) sentence by sentence and ponder over. Just get amazed about the symbols used in our epics to drive certain ideas. Watch how the role of Vayu Putra Hanuman and personification of Mahalaxmi Sita are explained. Why Hanuman was not killed when he visited Lanka first time? Why Hanuman didn't destroy Lanka and retrieve Sita when it was possible for him? No, I am not answering. Regards M G Warrier B Heaven is in our thoughts Satsanga or being in the company of wise people was an accepted option for seekers of all ages until, perhaps the close of last Century. This was made possible through prayer meetings, by arranging guest lectures in educational institutions and work places, continuous discourses by reputed Acharyas and Scholers along with temple festivals and other occasions. Concept of Heaven is related to physical well-being and mental happiness. In this article, Dada JP Vaswani briefly narrates the relevance of the thought of Heaven. Source : Speaking Tree, ET, April 12 C Leisure I had a small shop by the roadside. One day, suddenly, a big store opened in front of it, and the store owner put up a board: "Ghee ₹300 per kg." I also put up a board: "Ghee ₹280 per kg." The next day, the store owner put up another banner: "Ghee ₹260 per kg." I again updated my board: "Ghee ₹240 per kg." Seeing this daily price war, a gentleman advised me: "That is a big store; it can bear losses, but you won’t be able to compete with it for long. So, don’t compare yourself with them." I looked at the gentleman from head to toe and replied: "But I don’t even sell ghee! I’m just waiting to see how low they can go... Because my wife wants to buy it! (Shared by A P Ramadurai)

Govt accepts one rank, one pension; ex-servicemen continue agitation | Business Standard News

Govt accepts one rank, one pension; ex-servicemen continue agitation | Business Standard News My VIEW: As former Defence Minister Antony has already alleged that NDA has ‘diluted’ UPA’s OROP and NPS has been introduced without taking into confidence those who were to be the beneficiaries or victims (and these are the people who will administer OROP and the existing ‘Defined Benefit Pension Scheme in the coming years!), both schemes will get ‘reformed’ sooner than later. With a view to make transition smoother and reduce friction which will affect the morale of the work force, GOI should review NPS keeping the following factors in mind: (i)                 Those who joined defence and civil services and organisations in the public sector did not have option to bargain and decide their service conditions including remuneration package. What attracted them to the service was the job security and social ...
