you would be aware that Farida Singh(daughter of late ‘Jangoo’ Engineer) is the wife of late Devendra Singh(MV’s elder brother),who was with Air India.(Incidentally, the brothers all married outside the community–christian,parsi,kashmiri…).

an article by Farida, “Brothers- in- Arms” on the Engineer brothers is a good read ( http://bharat-rakshak.com ).

He didn’t pass out with us. I think he was relegated twice when he joined us. So he probably went home.
I spoke to 2996 today. He appears to be doing fine but says that he can’t join the IMA reunion — too tiring.

VERY TOUCHING!
Combatants have shorter life span because of Military’s Facor X, I reckon! This is what I suspected. Govt must publish this fact; but I know you can’t expect that, not from this Govt.
Warm regards.

we met MV last on 15 aug 11.neerja,one of his sisters,was with us from US,alongwith her husband,digvijay singh chowhan(who is promilla’s mama).promilla had met them earlier too, but i was meeting them for the first time.
they were very lively, but just when they were to leave, tina asked me if i could fix up an appt for MV with the comdt RR. he was a heavy smoker,she said, and wanted a thorough exam of the chest.an appt was fixed with the chest specialist,col rajput, at the RR for 16th.

he was in RR for three days, where all tests, incl PET were carried out.

he was discharged and advised to return on tue,23rd, when all results would be in.

however, that was not to be, with fate having different plans.

tina was quite composed, stating that one part of her was happy that he left without suffering any pain.

the funeral was in the evening, with his daughters performing the last rites.

richard was able to make it, just in time, from mumbai.

wreaths were laid on behalf of air chief, aoc-in-c WAC and aoc hindon.

kunnu and i attended the funeral.

regards,
