How to secure our Defense Secrets ??

Recently read in Tabloid of India (TOI) that chinese hackers have got access to defense secrets by hacking into many Govenrment web sites. Now, when such an event occurs, I am sure there will be a cabinet meeting to discuss things.

So one day there was a cabinet meeting. All heavy-weights of the cabinet arrive.

PM - "Distinguished colleagues, We are here to discuss a very important issue of Chinese hackers doing damage to our beloved nation. Mr. Defense Minister will answer your questions now"

DM - Ayyo!!, I don't know anything ji. Today morning when I was dringing kaapi, my assistant Mr. Kunju kurup told me that he read in Tabloid of India about this. Anyway I have asked the chief of staff to investigate.

Meanwhile, Shashi is busy tweeting. "There goes the secret location where my assets are hidden. I had copied all my ill-gotten wealth's secrets in DM's computer thinking that it won't be found out. Eeyal chadichallo, ende kartaave"

Sharad - Thinking to himself. Good that I told the joker Modi chap not to include Hongkong and chinese ICC players in eyepeeyell. It would have been a national embarassment to me in Beware of cricket control in India (BCCI)

DM - We are investigating the issue. Last night also our team was seeing which files have been compromised. I found some strange looking file called "Ende Jeevan.xls" in my PC, it was a password protected spreadsheet. Does it belong to any of you??"

PC - "What?? you said PC?? I am the home minister at office and report to a home minister at home. How can you say that the file is mine??"

PM - Does anyone have any suggestion about this issue??

DM - "Sir, I don't think much has been compromised. The fact that we are building airstrips near Tibet has been released by Tabloid of India already"

PM - No not that. But there were some other secrets I guess. How much of the file contents they already know about is what I am wondering??

Shashi brightens up.

PM ji, why not invite the Chinese for a game of "Raaz, Defense ministry ka"?? I am sure we can hypnotize them and find out

PM - Yes, but then who will sponsor such a show??

Sharad - Sir ji, Don't worry about sponsors, we can manage even Pakistan Airlines or Habib bank. They might be having a lot of interest in this issue too. Anyway Sponsor King Modi is in our side

Shashi - I guess it better be eyepeeyell Modi. Narendra has already got AB and the Big B is in lot of trouble since then

Sharad - Thinking to himself. "Wait till you Tweet something stupid again. Let me see who will sponsor your cause to continue in the cabinet."

DM - I have a suggestion Sir. Let us henceforth convert all documents in to Malayalam and then store in computers. Even if they are hacked I am sure the Chinese won't understand."

Entire team - "Bravo! Bravo!

PM - "Now I know the worth of a kaapi drinker in my team."

Shashi - "But sir, even I am one"

PM - "But then you tweet all about it and destroy the fun no?"

PM - "Please call Nandan to my office. I guess his former company has lot of Mallu Software Engineers. They must be able to give us a quick turn around time with the documents we have. Meeting adjourned"
