This is in response to the
post of Mr G N Sridharan,General Secretary,Federation of Retired LIC Class I Officers posted in your blog yesterday
Mr G N Sridharan has stated “Neither individuals nor leaders of their
organisation indulge in bragging about their performance in courts which is
something we pensioners in life insurance sector perhaps need to emulate.”
I wish Hon Mr GNS is able to distinguish
between sharing of information with transparency and bragging. In the same vein
it can also be said that nowhere except among some leaders of LIC Pensioners’ Federations
either individuals or organisations brag about their individual legal eminence and
the experience of several decades as advocates and we pensioners in life insurance sector perhaps need to emulate. One can’t but wonder why something
happening and written about which makes
tens of thousands of LIC pensioners happy
is making a senior and mature
octogenarian senior citizen pensioner like Mr GNS
unhappy.
What matters is not past
glory but success in present and future endeavours.If Mr GNS wanted to share
the information available with him on developments regarding legal issues of
Bank pensioners, his e-circular would have been good enough if it was confined
to sharing of relevant information leaving out judgmental remarks which Mr GNS
perhaps considers as a necessary spice without
which his circular will be incomplete. Of course the freedom is Mr Sridharan’s
for writing and there is also the freedom for the readers to enjoy reading what is
written if they like.
One
way of writing is “let
us hope the judgment for which all pensioners
are waiting will not be negative in our case” while the other way will
be “let us hope the judgment for which all pensioners are
waiting will be positive in our case” notwithstanding the fact that what
is
destined to happen will happen whether
we like it or not. I would rather prefer the latter way of putting it.
The very
manner of expression of expectation reveals our inner frame of mind.
Greetings.
