BACK TO SQUARE ONE
The above words uttered by the Adjt after the morning fall-in in the Drill Square still echo in the ears accompanied by the same feeling of dread as they did years ago. That day, just before our POP, there were rumours that the ordeal our Course had been going through would finally be over after inspcn by the Adjt. On receiving the report, the Adjt asked one cadet to fall out and pointed to a trivial flaw in his turnout as he thundered- Back to Square One. And the immediate unspoken response in everyone's mind was - curse the idiot who has brought this upon us.
Years later, our response remains the same - find a scapegoat and put all the blame on him. Will we never grow up out of this?
Intolerance is the reason behind the current state of affairs. The atmosphere prevailing around has made inroads into our group like a pandemic. Let us recognise the ailment properly first before trying to set things right. Why are we so fixated on our opinions that we cannot even look at another's perspective without getting worked up ? And till when will we keep thinking that exiting the grp is the ultimate solution ? Why do we have to disconnect ourselves from a whole group of persons just to express our annoyance at the actions of one or two ( which are not wrong in the first place) ? What is so annoying about a fwded cartoon or an odd comment ? Have we appointed ourselves as the sole guardians of our religious and political beliefs and are these more important than everything else? The answers have already been provided by many of our members here itself. So wake up, guys , and get back to normal times. There are better things to focus upon . Opinions will always differ in a large group of mature veterans, so bloody what ?
