INDIAN ARMY OFFICERS AND CORPORATE WORLD
Submitted by K Prabhakar Rao on Fri, 08/01/2008 - 11:31. Army ego frustration rehabilitation. Corporate worldFundamentally Indian Army officers no doubt have many good qualities such as leadership, ability to lead men in crisis, Withstand hardships etc. However their actions are completely limited to four walls of uniform bound limits. Most of the jobs are got done by the order and discipline that is inbuilt in the system. Fear of punishment, adverse remark and loosing promotions loom largely on them. As brought out by some, Army officers who slog around for 20 years to earn pension get outdated compared to corporate sector. Usually corporate sector likes to take people at senior and Middle level who can straight away deliver goods.......................

Right from the training Institution, it is grilled in the minds of officers that they are different from the civilians. I do not say that it is being taught that civilians are some sort of villains and degraded men. But it is going into the minds right from the beginning that Army guys are something different from others. In fact the roles of civil servants and Army officers are entirely different and can not be compared at all. But some type of parity has to be made and protocol has to be established. The trouble is mostly while comparing with IPS (Indian police service) and IAS( Indian administrative service) cadres. There is no doubt that IAS and IPS officers enjoy more status in society by virtue of their authority over the civil society while army officers have none. Your status is function of authority you wield in civil society. Army guys are limited to their units, officer messes, clubs and canteens and few Institutions and some own empires. In civil society, army does not enjoy any authority.

After few minutes, I learnt that one of my colleagues a major those days passed away few years ago. I think he reached the rank of only major when he suddenly died. I felt very sad to hear the news. He was a jolly guy going easy and jovial too. This guy was in the Head Quarters as the technical officer preparing various reports and returns and was taking care of the technical cell at the battalion Head Quarters. The commanding officer (CO) was a staff college type from Wellington. This is not Wellington of UK. This is at Nilgiris in South India. Some officers of all services, who are interested, go for a course at Staff College after getting through a stiff competition. Thus, these officers consider themselves as elite group within services and some of them suffer from a misplaced phobia.

It was falling sunlight. I saw no one at the temple and Pujari, the temple priest also was not there. A huge Bronze bell was suspended in front of the door of the temple hall and I sat on the footsteps and looked around. Few monkeys were loitering around and some youngster monkeys were playing. Some young monkeys were running up and down the pillars. Slowly I slipped into sleep and soon I found myself floating in a craft among clouds. The craft was a flying saucer and it flew for long time and finally landed at an unknown place
