Dear Surjit, Namaste. The account is very gripping. Although sad,it captures some spirits of lively youth who join the forces! I congratulate you for writing the account! It
was great that I talked to you 2 days back and reminded you of the young IAF pilot who got killed at Hakimpet here, 60 years back -almost to date !
It was a note from my memoirs about MCEME days,I had written decades back. I had been thinking of talking to you for few days,but really happened to talk on the day of the accident. There is God’s benevolent hand behind everything we achieve, and every day of our life ! Those who remember HIM are doubly blessed !
Wishing you both a very happy & healthy times !

PETER’S PRINCIPLE
”WHAT EVER HAS TO HAPPEN WILL”

Sir,

Yes indeed. We performed ‘monkey tricks’ better than monkeys…and went to places where even the devils did not dare to go.

Ranjit,

You come out with profound expressions.

The one I like is , “Of course, three scoundrels are lovingly remembered”

I wish I knew what this means!!!

Akshay,

I did try to reach out to the Malia house. But every one whom I knew (Sanjivan, Col SS Mehar and Malia’s brother) has passed away. So I wrote to the NDA, and they sent me his picture, which I have posted on the website.
Thanks for your inputs.

Dear Sabharwal,
This piece was written when the great ‘KS Uncle’ was 97 and he was alive.
Thanks to your observation, I will revise it when I update the website.

Thanks,
You were a great support for me in Agra in 1991. The memories linger, still.
