Dear and respected colleagues,
Namaskar. Now-a-days, time is passing by deadly slow much against
our contained emotions and anxiety. Hopes are looming large among all of
us that the finality of our testing time won't prolong beyond January.
We could re-establish our near-lost supremacy amongst our family
members. We could move with our pensioner colleagues with broad smiles
and contended hearts. We could feel the change in the approach of
sons-in-law and daughters-in-law and chuckle ourselves. Our affection
towards our grandchildren might tend to flow immeasurably. It is but
natural, if not altogether a humorous desire, dreaming like that.
We are waiting for our due,reasonable and legitimate share of our
fortune since longer than the anticipated period. It is unfortunate that
we are forced to fight for this insignificant enhancement of
pension,keeping at par with the working employees, through legal
processes at the cost of time,energy and money. Being generous towards
the general public through their benevolent measures and adopting,
surprisingly,quite a different approach towards their own erstwhile
employees, do not speak well of a model employer. It is pathetic that
our Prestigious Institution has allowed thousands of its own
pensioner-employees to die without enjoying the denied benefits. It has
to answer those bitter curses they have left.
The remaining group of our community is looking upon the Highest
Judiciary to spell out with an over all favourable judgment in the
current month. Every activist in our Organisation has never failed to
advance his counsel to be carried out at the time of this final trial.
Let us hope that our Legal Committee would take home all the counsels
and see that our Sr.Advocate utilize them at the appropriate occasions
with a single motto of winning our side squarely.
With Season's greetings,
M.P.Subrahmanian.
