BOSS SYNDROME

BOSS SYNDROME

Prof Dr Colonel ( Retired) K Prabhakar Rao

In army the officers have to serve under variety of guys before they calls it a day. Although army claims as experts in man management all that is not inspiring. There are many whimsical guys, saddists, guys with jealousy and in civillife too such guys exist, No doubt. All of a sudden the bright guy has to work under such character, purely by luck and his entire service is ruined in one pen stroke. Many call it a day. There are some good guys too like in any other service.But under what type character one has to work is purely by luck. Although grievance redressal is claimed to be more streamlined, it is doubtful if it is really so...Those who matter most will never accept.... God knows better.....

Decades ago I had a Boss, he and an ass were alike

And was always there for all's dislike

Every one grinned when he was in spin

And struggles like a dirty fish devoid of its fin

The boss was always moody

With his head always dull and cloudy

He had misty thoughts full of fog

As the roadside refuse trampled by a hog

He and we were born alike from mother’s womb

Yet his head was bald needing no comb

His skull was misty and full of evil plans

And put his men in spin from many clans

He laughed when others fall

While he strolled in Cantonments mall

With villainous smile he looks at you

And others shivered as if they had flu

He and me were from same place

Yet he ensured I had no solace

He had deep grudge and axe to grind

Reasons were difficult for me to find

At last in rain and darkness of a night

I saw a ray of hope and streak of light

That the boss would see reason and be kind and wise

But the next day I found him demanding his price
