Seasons Greetings: Citizens Charter

Dear Friends and Family,

On 26th November 2008, Our Financial City Mumbai was targeted by the terrorists and innocent lives were lost. Our brave men in Uniform restored the situation. Many of them made supreme sacrifices. Mumbaikars shook the Government by their dignified protest. The Nation joined them to give wake up call to the Authorities. World support is with India. The War on Terror has been declared.

On the eve of this Winter Holiday season and on the eve of New Year, every citizen of India needs to resolve:

firstly, to think, speak, and act like responsible citizens of this country always and every time

secondly, to tell the politicians whenever and wherever they go wrong, and hold them accountable by writing to them on issues which affect the constituents

thirdly, tell always to the Government servants that they are public servants and not to treat the public as servants

fourthly, to give a smile whenever you come across a policeman/ policewoman and if possible thank them for their service. Should they ask for bribe still smile and tell them that you have already paid your taxes

fifthly, make it a point to meet a soldier and an ex-service person as often as possible and thank them for the sacrifices they are doing for the country

I thank you for spending time to read this mail in full if you have done so. If not, please go back and read it.
Happy Holidays, and Best Wishes for a Very Prosperous New Year.
Love & Best Wishes,
Col TN Baba (Retd)
