The Russians are in the USA

In the 1960s and 1970s, the CIA was everywhere in India.  Each and every ill including poverty  could be traced to the CIA.
Now Russia is everywhere in The USA. Even talking to the Russians is so so incorrect  as per the democrats and the Intelligence Establishment. There are leaks galore on who met whom . It's ridiculously funny. For a superpower.  With TV anchors and democrats seriously pontificating on the issue. Maybe some of them get up each morning and check under the bed, behind the sofa etc for any Russian spies hiding there while simultaneously checking tablets and mobiles for Russian interference!
And to think that the only major vicious war the American army actually fought with a communist state was with China. The Korean War, just after World War Two was with in a way China only. Yet with all the muscle flexing today by China, the fixation is with a much weakened Russia. Demonizing Russians is fashionably in.  The Russians, with a GDP placing them just as a middle income nation ought to feel proud to be considered so influential in the USA.
It's funny how a certain group can convince itself about a deep conspiracy and go to town over it.
In Kashmir once chatting with a couple of friends, I found them so serious about the  Ideologues from a certain city in Maharashtra being all over the Valley (when the Mufti was CM), I used to respond by saying that each morning I got up and looked under my bed and dining table and then in my evening walks behind   the trees for such seriously accomplished guys.
Seriously, who would have thought talking and networking and discussing  could be so much a risky affair. And serious columnists writing pages on 'hopefully' how soon the bumbling guy who stole the crown would go.
 One satisfaction, some of the mainstream US channels and newspapers  and our media are now at the same level in being shrill and silly.
When the Roman Empire was at it's peak, the powerful passed their time in Rome on idle pursuits and conspiracy theories. Seems the same here.
Now to put it ~
Donald Trump he wore the presidential crown,
E i a e i oh,
The Russians stole it for him,
E i a e i oh,
With a Russian here and a Russian there,
Here a Russian and there a Russian.
Everywhere a Russian,
The streets of the US of A just swarmed with them.
Voting was just a farce,
It's the damn Ruskies who stole it.
E i a e i Oh.
How could our archangel lose,
E i a e i Oh.

The Forgotten Unsung Heroes of the Battle of Madhumati. 1971. Bangladesh. 45 Cavalry.

  The Forgotten Unsung Heroes of the Battle of Madhumati. 1971. Bangladesh. 45 Cavalry. By Dinesh K Kapila  (Chief General Manager (Retd). NABARD (As discussed with Major General (then Major) Pramod   Kumar Batra, Retd and Other Veterans)   Just a Glimpse – Cdr 62 Mountain Brigade – “Pramod, I believe it is hard to maneuver PT 76 tanks in this terrain and waters”. Pat is the answer, “it is hard and I may struggle, but you will never see me to give up or fai”l. They stood together, on the edge of the swift flowing Madhumati, the staff and soldiers waiting. It was dark. Very Dark. After waiting for some time the Bde Cdr had said, “lets go”. Major PK Batra vividly recollects even now watching the Cdr's face as he looked at the map with a torch. He was calm and very quiet, showing ,no fear or afraid and maintaining a dignified silence. He remembered the old saying, "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown". It was a moment in not only the life of the Brigade Co...

This Obsession with death and staying as a memory

  This Obsession with death and staying as a memory Dinesh K Kapila I watch quite a few channels dealing with religion or spirituality in the morning hours. Have to. Suitably trained by wifey over the years !! Specially post retirement. ! Not grumbling, I do clarify ! Our viewing can cross religions and sects, no problems on that. However, something I must point out is this obsession with death, of many discourses, many a preacher or sant or priest or whatever we label them, they have to mention death and to state we need to be prepared for it. This period of life we all live is just a journey, a short journey between birth and death. Hell is a reality. Be ready. Heaven awaits us. Narak and Bhagwan Yama and Swarg. Janat. All this gets stressed or mentioned. A direct correlation is often drawn, praying and following certain pathways and in some cases even undertaking certain actions or rituals will only lead to peace and harmony and eternal freedom or Moksha, in the hereafter. So...

Wars and Compassion at Ground Zero

  Wars and Compassion at Ground Zero by Dinesh K Kapila   (Note - As related By Major General PK Batra, AVSM (Retd).   45 Cavalry) General Batra and my late father, Major General Rajendra Nath, PVSM (Retd) go back a long way. Their bonds were forged in the din of bitterly fought battles in Bangladesh in 1971, where Dad Commanded 62 Mountain Brigade and then Major PK Batra commanded the A Squadron of 45 Cavalry. About these bonds I will write separately. And their battles. This story, well, it’s different. It’s from Another War. 1965. And touched my heart. It really did.   Where do I come in, well, I got connected with Major General PK Batra over the years as I deem it an honour to be connected to my father’s comrades in arms.     Wars are not only about death, bullets and blood and guts but also acts of caring and compassion. A barbed fencing or a wall can only create a superficial barrier but can not run through the hearts of people who were part of ...
