Please let me know your satisfaction limit. The country has people who are denied basic facilities because you didn't perform and took life time security and sitting in comfortable chair and demanding YE DIL MANGE UNLIMITED. After retirement did develops habits for only eating?
ReplyDeleteHow true, the others do it for life time and it doesn't pinch you. Just because you are blessed you can't find fault when a poor, young Jawan/war widow asking for few more rupees for a respectable living. Few fingers, a cosy chair in an AC environment and a keyboard doesn't give you the right to ask for the satisfaction level of a soldier/veteran with his pay/pension.
