Dear Sukhdev, it is unfortunate tht ur application had been rejected for unknown reasons. the way our politics and politicians are behaving , similar way our professional organisations are behaving. wht is the contributions of our associations to common professional? if this question is posed, i think it becomes difficult to answer. as it is nw the image of the lowest level due to several reasons, including the training, schools, type of education, our service and associations.wht are we going to share and give our legacy to next generations. we are able to see increased corruption and wht not. it is so unfortunate. even some of the organsiations have become pocket organsiations. I congratulate tht u have raised ur voice against the rejection. there are many good professionals who are doing best service but it is their own work and own committment. we praise and shd learn from them. i donot hav hopes for betterment of this professions, unless the younger generations takes the task into their hands and makes some attempt to clean the unwanted and politics oriented professionals. i pray almighty god, tht future generations fight for their cause and make an efffort for improvement of the profession. i join Dr sukhdev, protesting for not admitting him as member of the association without mentioning the reasons. let us join together to build the image of our profession with gud work.. laxman rao Sukhdev Singh <esukhdev@gmail.com> wrote: Dear Friends, Most of my professional colleagues are member of Medical Library Association of India (MLAI). I also take pride to have one of my colleague as its Executive Member. Few months back, I applied for MLAI Membership in their prescribed form along with required fee. Today, I am shocked to see my cheque returned back along with that of my other colleague. He had also applied for the membership separately long back. (This means, they know who we are?!!). What is killing me is that no reason has been given in rejecting my application. Infact there is not even single line of information attached with the cheques. There appears a definite method in this madness. My qualifications and nature of work is similar to those of my other colleagues. If they can be members than why can't I? What should I do in this situation? Please, Don't just press delete. REACT.
