The thread initiator had written that Indira Gandhi had scrapped the OROP in 1973. @Gulshan says it was because of third pay commission abolishing the then prevailing system of pension calculation that the need for OROP arose in 1973. I tend to agree with Gulshanji's views as it is the correct position. I feel the references provided by @Rambabu and @Usha are not correct for which they are in no way responsible. Web based information portals are many times not reliable as they are not authenticated. My reason for pointing it out is to set the record straight as otherwise wrong information goes through. There was no OROP in 1973 and thus it could not have been scrapped.
Is there any basis for your info that there was no OROP in 1973?

The Chinese consume a large variety of sea food which is easy to prepare, most of the time by boiling or stir frying in little quantity of oil. They use a variety of sauces to add flavor to the otherwise bland food. They have many deeply fried dishes also but these are considered costly. Whether it is because of the food they consume or otherwise almost every Chinese looked thin.

True....There are too many factors that contributes towards a perfect or disastrous relationship between parents and children. I guess, it is all a big learning process for both parents and children and the parents who can quickly adapt and improvise as the situation demands only can be successful with their children. I don't know if I am right because I am yet to reach that stage but I don't think sticking to set rules of parenting would work when dealing with teenagers.
Yes Kalayani, I have seen some so called perfect parent children relationship going sour as children go older and parents being unable to come to terms with the new independent teenagers.Unless parents become more broad minded in their thinking rather than remain rigid and have a stuck in the mud attitude , there is bound to be trouble..

rambabu answered the question Do you shop online for your groceries?.
I don't do Online shopping for any thing. I live in a cosmopolitan city where everything is available. Added advantage the Malls allow me to check the product physically.

I have been to China and it was a pleasant surprise to see that there is vast difference in the same dishes available in China and India. The Indians have spiced the Chinese dishes to satisfy local tastes. Chinese dishes as Chinese taste may not be popular in India due to bland taste. So Indo Chinese version will continue.
They are called Chindian here by restaurant owners because they have been indianised in taste with spices and may not be as healthy as original Chinese food which is bland but slightly undercooked which makes it healthier ..

rambabu replied to the topic Power Of Technology.
Many senior citizens think that their life is over and there is no need to for adventures like Technology utilization. It is far from truth. I know many ( This includes me )who are utilizing the fruits of technology and reaping the fruits of technology. This is the best way for Senior citizens to use their experience in a most fruitful way. It is far better than sitting idle and ruminating about the past. This type of attitude may lead to many physical disorders. My Philosophy is work as long as you can.

Technology makes life fast and convenient. It is meant for all, irrespective of their age. But many old people keep away from them, may be due to a feeling that it is indomitable for them in this later stage. Flexibility in use makes technology more popular in young as well as old.
