All that glitters is not gold

Tiger
We were doing our annual bridging camp at Akhnur in which the units practice how to make bridges by applying the methods learnt in theory on ground and the camp has to be established in a location near a river hence the tents were pitched up and so were the various offices of every commander from the CO(commanding officer) to the various others down the chain. The offices were coded as Tiger for the CO, lamb for the Second in Command and Lion for the Adjutant in one line. A civilian contractor was being hauled up by the CO for the delay in provision of the supplies of unit stationery but he was trying to make him understand that there had been strike so the supply could not be received in time and the delay was beyond his control but the CO was not ready to accept it. He finally came out dissatisfied with a totally switched off mood. Looking at the board where it was displayed TIGER he said,
”Bahar to Tiger likha hua hai aur under to Gadha baithaa hai”(Although it has been displayed Tiger outside but there is a Donkey sitting inside).
