October 2nd is the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and a picture that is synonymous with him is the "The Three Wise Monkeys". My thoughts on the relevance of this with Data Protection

@DEO_HYD If the name is not matching the voter card, I guess the next step is to fill Form 8. Form 8 approvals are pending for over a week, in that case what happens to SIR, if that doesn’t get approved before SIR date ?

Wonderful nostalgic memories! Having served onboard 38 years ago, when we were known as ‘Monkeys’ - the lowest form of marine life. Happy to admit that the ship has aged more gracefully than me 😃May God bless this fine ship and her gallant crew शं नो वरुणः
I was quite surprised when I thought about the co-incidence of all the Malayali connection, but during the interview with @ron_of_kochi I did realise that if you look at it from the perspective of organizational culture of the @indiannavy what does stand out is the fact that (a) no one realized the coincidence and (b) it really doesn’t matter which part of the country we were from, the job would still have gotten done just as well.
A short story.
A young boy was part of the spectators who saw me sail into Mumbai and park my boat at the Gateway on 06 April 2013.
Something must have stirred in him, because he decided to join the Navy, and sail.
I got a message from him today - that boy did join the Navy, and sailed. This time as part of @INSVKaundinya crew from Porbunder to Muscat.
Sharing an old picture of Abhishek Magar when he visited me many years ago. I am not sure if he was in the Navy at that time.
President Droupadi Murmu embarked the Indian Navy's indigenous Kalvari class submarine INS Vaghsheer at Karwar Naval Base, Karnataka. The President is undertaking a sortie on the Western Seaboard. Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi is accompanying the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces.
This maiden sortie onboard a Kalvari Class Submarine by President Droupadi Murmu is the second by President of India, after former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.
Exclusive at 10 pm. I sailed out on INSV Kaundinya - the stunning vessel built to an ancient design. The brainchild of @sanjeevsanyal, she's a part of the Navy's fleet - a stitched ship, a reminder of our formidable maritime legacy. Meet the crew aboard this gorgeous vessel #Kaundinya
🇮🇳Vice Admiral Rajesh Pendharkar, PVSM, AVSM, VSM, superannuated on 31 Oct 25 after almost 40 years of distinguished service in the #IndianNavy. In a solemn tribute, he laid a wreath at the National War Memorial, #NewDelhi on 25 Oct 25, honouring the supreme sacrifice of our #Bravehearts.
⚓️Commissioned on 01 Jan 1987, Vice Admiral Rajesh Pendharkar is an Anti-Submarine Warfare Specialist and an alumnus of the National Defence Academy #NDA, Khadakwasla and Defence Services Staff College, #DSSC Wellington. With over 15 years at Sea, he commanded three frontline warships - #INSKora, #INSShivalik and the Aircraft Carrier #INSViraat. He is also an alumnus of the Naval War College, Karanja and Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island, #USA.
⚙️Ashore, he has held key leadership assignments in Naval operations, acquisitions and personnel management. A keen promoter of #AtmanirbharBharat in the #IndianNavy, he is one of the pioneers that conceptualised the National Maritime Domain Awareness project #NMDA, which has now taken shape in its current form enhancing overall #maritime security capabilities.
🫡 As he hauls down the Naval Ensign, he reaffirms his commitment to the Nation and expresses deep gratitude to his shipmates - the finest men and women in whites.
🙏We thank him for his service to the Nation and wish him fair winds, following seas and success in his next voyage.
@Gabbar0099 This is Absolute Truth. The society largely respects people for their conduct, not on basis of profession nor caste, creed etc. Worthy role model for more states to adopt and adapt. #kerala
