Dear Colleagues,
Waiting for the govt decision on OROP, the mind wanders to lighter moods. The election debate had closed last month after the IESM had asserted that it was not apologetic about the voting advisory and had taken the right decision under the circumstances. With the subject having been obliquely reactivated, some ESM colleagues, who had earlier been critical of the IESM approach, have now veered round to the view that the primary reason for the govt to reopen the OROP issue is the IESM actions and its election advisory (right or wrong). The proverbial debate between means and ends has come alive. It brings to recall the lines of an old doggerel:
I eat my peas with honey
I have done it all my life
It no doubt looks funny
But it keeps them on the knife
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
