I have gone for shopping. I have purchased my stuff. I am about to make payment. Just pulling out money to finalize the deal between a shopper and shopkeeper. But wait, someone, from my Goan (village) spotted me, and started canvassing, “Didi, please purchase these things from my store. I provide better deals in the same price.”
My heart melts. What if he is unmindful of the professional ethics? He must be benefited if I belong to the same place.
When I was reading this, “Italians push AJT sale even after Hawk deal signed”, New Delhi: An Italian company Aermacchi has written to defence minister “Pranap Mukherjee” offering to supply the M-346 state-of-the-art new generation advanced jet trainer to India even though New Delhi has signed and sealed the deal for the British Hawk. Indian pilots are already in the UK for the first round of training but Aermacchi, in a letter written on June 22, is given to “understand that a decision on the acquisition of an AJT has not been finalised yet.”
My heart went out for Italliwallah. He must gain something. Shouldn’t he?
Don’t worry if it does not happen even in a street’s Paan shop. Central Government should not be questioned on from where the Italians derived such audacity to canvass when the Indian pilots are already in England to get the training ? Shouldn’t they be called back and sent to Italy for training? That is the least, we Indians can do for a great family, who had made so many sacrifices for us. And still, they are ready and willing to serve us, the mere mortals.
