Financial Frauds including calls to actually defraud.

Financial Frauds including calls to actually defraud.
Requesting all concerned.
1. The telecom dept Cannot close your account
2. The electricity dept does not send a sms saying they are disconnecting your connection
3. ⁠if some caller says your son or daughter is in dire need of financial help have the presence of mind to disconnect. Tell your children to be always accessible on phones and have them compulsorily give you alternative numbers to be contacted in an emergency. Do not transfer money to unknown people.
4. ⁠No insurance company rings up to say take back your premium plus a hefty mark up.
5. ⁠Do not click on any link if they entice you that the Govt or someone is giving extra pension or money, nobody does this. Thy publish notices or send formal communications. Or check with fellow retiree’s.
6. ⁠No insurance product can assure fantastic returns. Period.
7. ⁠Nobody can guarantee returns from the stock market. Do not transfer money to any such person, even your relatives or people recommended by them.
8. ⁠invest in mutual funds and stocks directly, open s DMAT Account at the Bank. Simple.
9. ⁠Do not keep selling and buying securities because a well mannered sweet talking guy or lady tells you. You do when you want to as per your judgement. This applies to Fixed Deposits too.
10. Do not trust any colleague or person who requests you to invest with him. Invest after due deliberation but preferably pay for advise and invest on your own.
A resident of our sector just recently lost a considerable amount to a fake call. A huge amount. Plus there have been other incidents. Hence out of concern I am posting this.
As a person who retired from the top management of a major financial institution, I can only say and request safeguard yourself. Kindly be alert.

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.

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 ...
