Girdhari ........A New Kid On The Block.......

Do you know him. Who .Oh you don't know ...Well he is our  boss, and we call him ...The legend ...the only Courageous man alive....The "GIRDHARI ". So here we are telling you about the new discovery of the millennium,the only God of planet  LEBANON…..we call it a distinct charm,an unknown place somewhere in universe, planet of Girdhari .

So here we are and let me tell you ,my ways to handle the boss….oops sorry Girdhari……….  

It is a bright possibility that your boss is a hard-worker, he stays back every day. He can be a great communicator- he speaks with charm, and have a boatloads of charisma, his bosses and superiors adore him.

But at the same time, it is also possible that he’s stupid(my case). He can’t get even a simple job done on his own, repeating the same mistakes every time. He’s a slow learner, repetitively questioning your work unnecessarily, insisting he’s right over and over again.

And at the end of the day, he’ll take all the credits, UN.be.known to his superiors that your boss is nothing without you.

And I understand how this annoys you. Your work becomes 10 times more complicated, the arguments and repetitive briefings mean it took longer time to finish even the simplest tasks, and it all ends up with him getting the compliments .

As usual, you can stop this.

Here is what you can do …..

Plant time bomb in your work

In your report, plant some intentional errors that he, because of his naivety, won’t detect. Let’s hope the report gets submitted to his Girdhari and they notice the mistakes and tick him off for submitting a report full of flaw…which obviously proves that he’s incompetent, or someone else is doing his job and he didn’t know how to check.

Sabotage his meetings/presentation

If you prepare materials for his meetings and presentations, always leave crucial but basic information out of his slides, files or notes. When he’s in the middle of the meeting/presentation, he’ll come to a complete halt because of those omitted simple facts. This will publicly prove that he doesn’t have even the basic knowledge, and will trigger an inquisition into his past work and credibility.

Flaunt your credentials everywhere

Use your cubicle as your gigantic resume: hang your professional certificates,  technical credentials, your discoveries..anything that speaks you’re technically more qualified than him in every single way possible.

Always use jargon's to speak with him in public

He’ll struggle to keep up with the technical side of the conversation, and will try hard to prove to the others he knows what he’s talking about, looking like an idiot all the way.

Let’s hope this combo of awareness will neutralize him out of your way- let’s hope he’ll learn some respect for you.

.Will it ever stop Raining.

On 11 nov 2010, the anti talk faction on National Democratic Front Of Bodoland(NDFB) issued a warning to security forces and indian communities living in the Bodo-Dominated areas, of  horrible attacks. In a statement issued by its organizing secretary, the NDFB said it would by compelled to take horrible action if security forces committed any mistake or crime against the outfit.

Earlier on 31 oct 2010, the outfit had issued a statement saying that it would kill 20 indians for every NDFB cadre killed by the security forces. Barely a week later, the outfit struck, first simultaneously at two places, and then a series of attacks within a span of 4-5 hours on 9 nov -nine in all- leaving 20 dead. The majority of victims-hindi speaking people. Three more attacks followed the next morning, taking death toll to 23.

The Army and Police have been constantly after the NDFB faction once its involvement in the serial killing but the strategy against the NDFB requires a rethink. But "Will it ever stop Raining" ?

PROGRESS INDICATORS.

It all started in year 2000 when militants blew up a car in NALBARI and assassinated Nagen Sharma, Minister of Assam , many thought that the ULFA was back with a bang. Surprisingly, a week after the incident more than 400 militants belonging to ULFA surrendered to the govt. The organisation , which inspired and attracted thousands of youth in Assam and kept the govt and army busy all these years, now finds itself in disarray.

Once it started ,it became clear to the militant that their demand of 'SWADHIN ASOM' could never become reality . more and more ULFA militants gave their arms. Not even ULFA but other militants organisations like NDFB, KNV,BLT  came for talks with the govt. In recent months the Unified Command was successful in busting many militants hideouts. Many mportant Militants were either arrested or were killed in the military operations. Public demonstration against the army operations ans protests condemning fake encounters have become rare phenomena. Contrarily the poeple were seen participating in large numbers in the govt sponsored seminars, conventions and peace rallies directed against the militancy. Intrestingly even the intellectuals, who directly or indirectly supported ULFA and BODO militants initially, openly voice their resentment against the mindless violence resorted to by the militant outfits. The regional press is coming out with numerous articles and editorials criticising the negative effect of militancy. Giving up their old practice of holding indian state and central govt responsible for the backwardness of the region.

With the state getting tougher and public turning against the militants, they are definitely dyning their own death, however , it would be premature to declare the death of insurgency and celebrate the dawn of peace and harmony in assam.  

If militancy is only a law and order problem and the militants only misguided youth, what the army and the govt have been doing could be considered sufficient to restore peace in assam. However without an understanding of the material and ideological roots that gave birth to militancy, restoring peace in assam would be an uphill task.

THE 'MASSES' ?

DEMOCRACY is defined as a system by which a country is governed by the whole population, by those who are elected by the whole population. The word comes in part from the Greek work "demos", means the people. That is what the great oxford English dictionary, that infallible oracle of the English speaking world, says. It also says that "mass"  in the plural, that is "the masses",  means "the ordinary people". Kindly note the difference between "the people" and "the ordinary people". You can make out the difference.

The masses can be persuaded, mollified, inflamed, soothed, pushed around, restrained, barred from certain places and made to go to others, all because of these traits and or more correctly, assumption of traits.
These assumptions are that "the masses " are basically simple minded, that their powers of comprehension are limited, they are credulous and naive and can be pushed around with impunity and be persuaded tp believe that it is for their own good or some good that those in power consider important.

Politicians will deny this but they are the ones who firmly believe that the masses can be swayed by thundering promises of a better tomorrow or they can be told to remain calm and not let issues agitate them. A comic example of tis assumption- made , obviously, by some bureaucrat convinced of his own shrewdness-, was the publication in  major newspapers and journals of an appeal in the name of PM Manmohan Singh that the people stay calm when the High Court pronounces its judgement in the Ayodhya title suit.

"The masses " did indeed stay calm there was no violent reaction from any community or group, although all those who proclaim they speak for some part of the masses have declared they will challenge the judgment in SC. it would be foolish to think that the masses stayed calm because of the appeal. But the fact that such an appeal was made indicates that the age-old assumptions about "The Masses" still hold good.
