to J, me, Ashwani

Dear Sir,

   Enjoyed reading the inspiring piece, simple yet profound when linked to the journey of life. Actually, the   &quot;Guru Mantra&quot; also draws from our scriptures, especially Srimad Bhawad Gita, whose teachings have influenced many of us and are eternal. In fact, I feel the motto of our Corps &quot;Karam hi Dharam&quot; also conveys the same sentiment in an abridged form.  Its translation to my mind should be &quot;Work is Supreme Duty&quot;  (and not &quot;Work is Worship&quot;). However, within our Corps, there have been flip flops on this and while in the appt of DG EME, I found it had been changed to &quot;Work is Worship&quot;, a few years earlier.  I did not revert it in order to avoid further confusion.

    To revert to your Blog, I was not aware that there is a CAB School in Meerut. When you were speaking to me, I mistook it for CAV which is an Inter College.  But,  thanks to your School, you were able to meet Dhyan Chand, a true legend. These days we have Olympic medalists like Sushil Kumar..........what a disgraceful fall........Oh Dear, shed a tear.

                     Warm Regards]]></description>

Respected General Sir,
Indeed a pleasure reading the article on the great legend Maj Dhayan Chand. The whole article is full of lessons, I really liked the statement, &quot;Having passed the ball, your job ends......what matters is the goal is scored&quot;. Very profound and so true for every sphere of life.
Very many thanks for sharing sir.

Kind Regards
Ashwani]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the days of Dhyan Chand, the sportspersons were not &#039;professional players&#039; There was no concept of &#039;sponsorship&#039; They were not treated like &#039;stars&#039; as they are, these days. 
Dhyan Chand was an army officer, and he received the routine treatment, like every one else. Unfortunately, he belonged to a very humble family, so his economic position was not very comfortable.
