The naval blockade of Defence Ministry
The functioning of the Defence Ministry (MoD) has been visibly disturbed for the past few months. A serving Vice-Admiral (VAdm) has demanded that he should be appointed a Principal Staff Officer (PSO) in the Naval Headquarters (NHQ) by moving a petition in the Calcutta High Court.
Peaceful and quickly over
By the end of the 16th century, the Portuguese-occupied territories in India, jewels in the Portuguese Crown, that dotted the entire length of the Indian coastline, included Diu, Daman, Goa, Salsette, Bassein, Chaul, Bombay, San Thome and Hooghly.
The non-work ethic
It is a bit unfair to say government servants don't work. They can work with a rare diligence and efficiency should the moment demand it. One such moment arrived when the occupants of the Haryana Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh were brought face to face with electronic time-keeping machines.
