MOM's forgotten men !

This week's THE WEEK has the cover story on Mars Orbital Mission. It focuses on the 'Men who realised MOM'. That's how it is " MOM's MEN" !

When MOM made history,  those men made victory. But, not all MOM's men are now on the victory stand.  That's why I try to remember all the MOM's forgotten men.  They were MOM's men sometime back, may not be today. Their date of birth got them off the victory stand.  But, they too were the real men, MOM would like to remember !!


Tail piece :
A universal truth, as a proverb (in Malayalam, translated thus) :

Those who sows doesn't reap, and those who reaps doesn't eat.

BEST WISHES !!

A lesson for the Dept Chiefs

This is another paper report on 26th.  We feel sorry that two of our Big Shots have been sentenced for imprisonment, by the Madras High Court.  What and why of the case is explained in the above report.
As you may see, it's contempt of Court ! 

If this happens, many of our Dept Chiefs would feel a  tremor in their spine.. We, pensioners, still run behind the Judiciary for justice from the Department.  Inspite of  clear Court orders, our Dept Chiefs distort the facts and are not implementing the Court orders (for whose pleasure?, no idea !!)   Infact, none of us would like even to think of our ISRO Chief being  sentenced for imprisonment, for not implementing the Justice.

I am sure you all will join  me to pray " Let not the sword of  Law fall on ISRO chief  (or any other official) for  denial of Justice to its employees and Pensioners". But, it's upto them to realise !!

MOM - public opinions

We all must be happy that atleast someone among the public thinks a bit different !

If it was a  Cricket World Cup win on the 24th, you can imagine the euphoria the public would have shown. But with the success of MOM,  it doesn't seem to be at that pitch. Ofcourse our media was kind enough to spend its headlines, for more than a day,  publicising with praises and criticisms . To all sensible and non-sensible questions and criticisms, ISRO  has answered them quite reasonably (and politely) well.
I have here, a copy of the "Letters to the Editor (The Hindu dt 26th)" which is a true reflection of what our public thinks.  To my surprise, I find a person wring thus  "When the Indian Cricket Team wins a tournament, every team member is richly rewarded.  Why not something for our Scientists ? "
That's great !!

Please read on the letters below. It's quite interesting and satisfying !!
