CO must be really blessed to have such a “performing team”. And it happens only, if the team performs as per the confidence and expectations reposed by the leader in the team.
Reading a commanders mind correctly, pays a lot…..
It was indeed great reading this – recall of a wonderful memory… so much in detail.

Thank you Sir. You are absolutely right . This needed continuous practice at least for a month . The only saving grace was the GOC did not ask us to do it the other way .

Dear Gen Madan

Very happy to see your remarks on this forum. I still cherish the extent of faith you bestowed on me when you asked me to form a special team along with Monu Bhagat and Ratan Kaul to study and suggest improvements in the key processes of the college so that the establishment can serve the student community better. This was probably the very first time when such an exercise was done in a Cat A Establishment. Later on as a Brigadier I narrated this incident to Gen Kochhar , my Comdt at MCEME and he promptly asked me to do such a study in MCEME . The results in both the cases were much beyond our expectations.

Thank you for your kind words. We are settled down at Secunderabad and I still work with the IT Industry as an advisor to HYSEA , the association of Software companies at Hyderabad . Our regards to the family.

Yes, Jo. Our men were very fit.
My predecessor and Hari had a very good rapport wit the EME Records, and they had managed to get some very tough guys posted to our unit. One-third of my Battalion was located at altitudes above 10,000 feet. This test was conducted at a lower altitude, and that was another factor.
And indeed, they had prepared in all earnestness.

PS,
I had forgotten this inspection altogether; because I contributed very little in this exercise. But the performance that day established our credentials, and made it easy for us to try out our experiments.

BBG,
Thanks.
Hari has, indeed, penned it very well. 35 years is a long time, but he has a terrific memory!
