FINGER ON YOUR LIPS

What has happened to Pakistan? While India is doing Fauji Exercises, Pakistan has mobilised for what! I agree that the people of India want revenge. But, from whom? Our PM has only said that “we will not leave the terrorists and their supporters till the end of the Earth”. He has never said he will sort out Pakistan, or has he?

 

It has been hilarious watching discussions on Paki social media channels. They seem to have already given up. Our RM meets the PM and Pakistan starts shitting bricks. They talk about jazba and gazwa, and start telling us about their nuclear arsenal. 160 I suppose. By the way we will send across one equivalent to your 160 if need be.

 

There is a saying, ‘Chor ki Dari main tinka” literal meaning is, a straw in a thief’s beard. However, the deep meaning is that a guilty person reveals his guilt through his behaviour, even unintentionally. Clearly, “a guilty conscious needs no accuser”. A guilty one fears exposure too. Do you guys get the drift?

 

Pakistan is guilty. They may deny it, deflect it, make noise about it, cry hoarse, ask for help, lie to their countrymen, beg their Biradar, play the blame game, refuse to accept their wrong doings etc. Fact of the matter is that those who have done something illegal remain in a constant fear of being exposed. The world knows it.

 

I heard somewhere, “if a cap fits, wear it” meaning that when you get defensive you have admitted your guilt. It appears true in the case of Pakistan.

 

I agree that Indian media has gone bonkers. Lt Gen Comeswamy, Col Hari Om Kashyap, Brig Mavrika Kumar, and their kinds have opened war rooms in their studios. Veteran Generals, Air Marshals, many Colonels, and a Major start stoking the studio bonfire.

 

Then there are blasts. A volley of questions is sent across the border. In retaliation a volley of missiles called untruths, lies, bluffs, false hoods, fabricated answers are thrown back. No one is ready to bow down or accept defeat. This continues till the end of time, not earth. Then the programme gets over.

 

I heard in some quarters that there is a vehement opposition to play cricket, get actors and singers from Pakistan but tell me, why do we sit across the table with Paki panellists? They too should be banned. Haven’t we heard or understood their views over the years? Unless we can tolerate and listen to people like Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, who do not know a single musical note. Noise is at its best.

 

My heart bleeds for every person who died or was injured in J&K. The Chor with a Dari came to India. Now, we should silently give back not a tinka but a Danda where it hurts most. By venting feelings on national television, it makes no difference to those Ps.

 

The Aircraft carrier has reached Karachi, troops from this place have moved there, our air exercises are on, commandos are on high alert, surgical strikes are being practiced and such like information is being dished out on media. Nonsense. This option, that option from military, to political, to diplomatic, to economic are being discussed to give it on the plate to the Ps to gear up.

 

Their army officers and jawans have deserted, their aircrafts do not have fuel, their army chief has hidden himself in a nuclear hardened shelter, their PM has run away to another country. Who cares? The chaos in their systems should be noted and exploited rather than aired.

 

My request to the Media is to just go silent. Deprive the enemy any information, good, bad, or ugly. Let our actions speak rather than words. See what pandemonium will happen there. They will not know what has hit them. My request is to the sons and daughters of Armed forces officers in the media especially. You guys know too much and reveal too much. Just blackout news about our preparation.

 

Civilians want khoon ka badla khoon. I suggest, let us collect 140 crore litres of khoon in our blood banks to prepare for what you people are demanding. War is not like going to D mart, loading your cart and out you come. It is a matter of life and death. Let the planners and real executors do their job. Hold your horses till then please.

 

The world knows who is the perpetrator, supporter, funder and trainer as the Paki defence minister and other people like Musharaff and gang had confessed it. So where is the doubt? We should leave them in the lurch. Let them rot in this heat on their borders. Let them burn fuel which is unaffordable in Pakistan. Let them now slowly bleed and then face the music.

 

My folded hands to the media, and the Veterans on TV, please put a finger on your lips. There are more important things to look into. Pahalgam will be avenged for sure. How, and when? Let Pakistan wonder!!!!!!!

  7. We need peace and common sense to prevail. We are all sitting in our homes safe and our young soldiers, sometimes the only son/ daughter in the family is fighting on the front. Imagine the feelings of dread the parents go through. I am so tired of people just screaming for revenge and bloodshed. There are other ways to fight this war. Stop the supply of water to Pakistan. Build infrastructure to support that possibility. Put strict conditions in front of that cabal and drill it through their brains that their existence depends on their ability to restrain their war mongering tendencies.

SCENE AT ELLIS’ RESTAURANT

    LT COL NOEL ELLIS   04/XI/2024   Every morning the scene in the Ellis’ restaurant is so refreshing. The notes birds sing sounds like ‘reveille’ being sounded by the buglers. The ‘scenario’ keeps varying with arrival of different birds at different timings.   It is like being a restaurant owner, working solo with minimum help. Yours truly is the waiter, housekeeper, cook, receptionist, barman, purchase manager, accountant, and storekeeper of this shack. Imagine!   Foremost thing in the morning is housekeeping of the garden area, followed by watering the pots. This gives the plants a nice bath, like kids being readied for school.   The first set of ‘clients’ called the ‘Tailor Birds’ appear. They love to hunt for insects which get disturbed by the watering ritual. They sing and dance, hop and skip and carry on chasing moths and worms, without bothering about my presence.   By then the Bulbuls and the Sparrows start lini...

IF THERE IS A WAR…...

    LT COL NOEL ELLIS   28/IV/2025   I remember the 1971 war as a small child. We were in Kapurthala Punjab, very close to the Pakistan border. It was an evening in December, I do not remember the exact date. While returning from a friends house, the declaration of war was done as I skipped along the ‘Thandi Sarak’ of Kapurthala.   The gist was that a vehicle with loud speakers was telling people to head home as an "emergency" had been declared and war had started. I ran as fast as I could, shivering with fear and my heart beating unusually fast. Though I was a lap baby when the 1965 war had taken place, it appeared serious business now.   Overnight, Dad and other Uncles started digging trenches infront of our homes. Carbon paper was no dearth in a teachers house, so mom got into an overdrive to stick them to the glass windows. Though the glass had been painted during the 1965 war, some broken panes had been replaced. Mom told ...

A TRIBUTE TO INDIA’s FINANCIAL WIZARD

  LT COL NOEL ELLIS   27/XII/2024   Last night one heard a heart-breaking news of the passing away of Dr Manmohan Singh. A sardar with a big Dil and a sharp Dimag. My heartfelt condolences to the family and every citizen of India.   Let me share an anecdote of a chance encounter with his office three decades ago. It was in 1993-94, he was the then ‘Finance Minister’ of India.   The story goes that we were part of the "Ski-Himalaya Expedition". The expedition was preparing to traverse a 1500 km ski touring voyage from Karakoram Pass to the base of Mount Kailash in Nepal passing through the states of J&K, Himachal Pradesh and UP.   Those days, it was not easy to fund the expedition. We found a few sponsors. Let me confess, we were under the Army adventure cell for the preparations. The internal ‘red tapeism’ was killing us. Delays in procuring equipment due to the complex ‘Kagzi Karwai’ was taking too much time. Our window of skiin...

LOCUST WITHOUT A “L”

  LOCUST WITHOUT A “L”   LT COL NOEL ELLIS   14/IX/2024   They say if you wish for something with a noble heart, it gets fulfilled. Had I asked for the moon, I would have got it today. Was it a coincidence? I am not sure. To find out please read on.   A friend of mine had asked me about ‘good’ and ‘bad’ insects in a garden, on which I wrote an article. In that, I had mentioned a kind of grasshopper called the ‘Locust’. It is a bright yellowish green insect. It is sometimes seen in our garden. They create havoc if found in swarms, but one or two do not harm much.   After writing the article, I wished I had a photo of the Locust. Digging it out from the archives could add colour but that would have been time consuming.   Having posted the article, I walked out of the house to check on the blooms of the day. There was a large variety with vibrant colours gracing the garden. A treat to the eyes and soul.   Just then my eyes...

AN OPEN LETTER TO CM PUNJAB

An open letter to Mr Bhagwant Maan on this officer and his son being beaten up so brutally at Patiala. My sympathies with the family and I am sure justice will not be delayed or denied.   AN OPEN LETTER TO CM PUNJAB   LT COL NOEL ELLIS   22/III/2025   Maan jog Bhagwant Maan Saab. Main ek chota jeha sabak fauji haan. Aj majbbor hoke main aa chitti tunahu likh reha han, kyon ki dil andron dukhi hai. Tuhade thalle te tuhadi sarkar de which Patiala police ne jo kuj ek Serving Army de officer te os de munde naal kitta hai o sharmnaak hai ate darshonda hai ki aj di tareekh which Punjab police te tuhada koi control nahi hai. Aj takreeban dus din ho gaye han, te tussi Khamosh ho.   Police da kam sirf kuttapa chaarna hunda hai? Ja ke aam shahri waste eho jeha mahul paida karna ki banda safe feel kare. Bande nu bharosa hove ki haan mera koi mai baap hai. Lor pain te oh meri madad waaste aauga. Par lagda hai ke hun scene badal gaya hai.   Maa...

RUNNING TO TOWN

  LT COL NOEL ELLIS   24/IV/2024   As they say, “Jab geedar ki ‘maut’ ati hai woh Shahar ki taraf bhagta hai”. (When a jackal wants to die, it runs towards the town). It simply implies that when someone is in ‘deep trouble’, he takes certain wrong steps and gets into agony himself. It also means that if correct actions are not taken timely, then chances are things go wrong.   Another implication of this idiom is that when someone wants to ‘avoid trouble’, he choses a wrong path or when one faces difficult times, he goes looking for advice and solutions from wrong people and places, jeopardising his own existence.   Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this straight away applies to our troublesome neighbour Pakistan and specifically to the thought process and mindset of their Army Chief General Asim Munir, who revealed it in the lecture he gave to the overseas Pakistanis recently.   I say this in the context of the ‘massacre’ and ‘savagery’ these dastards did in Pahal...

A SPEECH

  LT COL NOEL ELLIS   19/IV/2025   Imagine when your “sir ka jhoomar becomes gale ki haddi”, then what happens. That was one Jumla I picked up from the Pak Army Chief’s speech which he delivered in Islamabad to Overseas Pakistanis. They are dual citizenship holders. Their ticket it appears had been paid by the state of Pakistan, I reckon.   An Army Chief addressing a gathering of people who at the very first instance decided to “Pakistan se Zinda Bhag” is uncalled for. If I read correctly between the lines, it was not to impress his countrymen but somehow convince the audience to remit dollars to ensure he and his ilk get their salaries, a plot of land on retirement and an assured pension. Rest of the countrymen can scavenge for all he cares.   Above all, the PM of Pakistan and his cabinet were in attendance. The Chief’s political ambitions were clear and his speech was a subtle message to them that the Army is ‘THE Mai Baap’, as he flexed the ...

IT IS CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN

  IT IS CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN   LT COL NOEL ELLIS   23/XII/2024   Christmas time is here. We waited all year for the ‘yule tide’ to come. Cold weather, celebrations, parties, carol singing, pot luck dinners, picnic, socialising, variety of winter flowers, Christmas trees, non veg preparations, baking Christmas cakes and Pakwans is synonymous to Christmas. Last but not the least we fondly remember the ones who have slept in the Lord.   The house looks Christmassy and smells Christmassy too. Buntings, decorations, lighting up the home, and decorating the Christmas tree is done. The Carol Singing party visited our home and sang with full josh.   Rejuvenating friendship, kinship, relationships, bonds, and ties is the essence of Christmas. Rekindling and remembering good old days and friends are part of the merry making. Festivities, feasting and gifting will extend well into the new year.   Our kitchen would be the hub centre of...
