My Dear
General Sir ji,
Permit just
a simple SGMT
of EASY
know ye

I miss getting links from thee
Have I exited from thy memory
In the late evening of my life
Id love to see
the progress you maketh
so distinctly

Its a pleasure for ‘learners’ like me
to mingle with Military literati
like Sir are ye
I always salute the worthy.
Namaskar Sir

The International poets tell me
don’t forget archaic poetry
so do excuse me
kindly

Dear sir; With a stray entry by a friend on my Facebook timeline, I came to know about Lt. Gen. Hanut Singh. When I wished to know further about venerable General, I got on to your piece on him in the net; and am delighted to know about this blog. With a bit of parochial sense and nostalgia I wish to write this comment as I too have lived in Yamunanagar where my parents lived and where I studied. My father was in EME and I grew up in different cantonments like Dehradoon, Jalandhar, Pune, Jammu and Delhi; but he settled in Yamunanagar. I joined the Indian Air Force in 1969. With a combination of my adolescent perception of the Army and an adult one of the Air Force, I find it very attractive to say that the individual life in uniform and the social one in the hedges provides one of a larger vision of India. Cantonment life provides one an opportunity to be large..; that is large to receive, retain and assimilate cultural and social spread of the entire country. Guftagu among the people in a cantt. is most enlightening and heartening where it easily crosses ethnocentric borders and finds an ease of a good dialogue. Thanks to this assimilative nature, perhaps that a fauji is regarded high in each rung of every community in the country. Fauj, it seems teaches its members, I think more than other professions do in a small time. There is a talk about compulsory service in uniform for every aspirant of government servant. I think, the government will do well in creating that opportunity for the young people. I know for certain, that a stint in uniform for a large section of Indian youth would do the cause of national integration, discipline and patriotism more than any number of slogans and media homilies. As we all know, good citizenship; a very urgent demand of our polity, civics and progress; emanates out of a combination of awareness and discipline, and what can generate such forces in our society than the new phase of such a wonderful opportunity for our youth in the present and those of future, than a rub in the uniform like a medal in everybody’s life in a nation!! Perhaps, this is one subject that should be taken up for discussion more than frequently in our media. Thanks for this space, sir.

Sir,
I just happened to go through the website. I think it is a fantastic attempt to share life and its vicissitudes. And not to mention, do something constructive. I shall fwd some contributions on travel, philosophy, books and life in general. If you find them suitable, they could be uploaded.
Once again, thank you very much for sharing the site with me and enabling me to learn some more from the wisdom of more knowledgeable people.
Warm Regards
Neeraj

Dear Surjit,
I accidently came to see your website through Priti Shankar obituary. She was one of my class fellow at IIT Delhi where I too graduated in EE. I really didn’t talk to her much, during our stay in the institute, however admired her focus on studies, her goal and attention to her studies. It is very sad that she has gone that young. Even almighty needs good people.
I on the other hand, took a lot of interest in playing sports. I had a chance to represent IITD in all 5 IIT annual meets. I have worked in almost all continents include Europe, Africa, North America, South America and of course in india. My wife and I are currently settled in Vancouver, Canada. We visit india every year. I am still working with an international consultancy company.
It was so nice to read some comments in your forum with people of so many backgrounds. You are right the life will carry on. We should follow the good universal virtues. One of them is – Be Nice To Everyone. I am still practicing on it and hope I can practice it with 100% accuracy.
With kind regards,
Shiv Sharma

I accidentally came to this site surfing for stanza MARZ BADHTA HI GAYA JYON JYON DAWA KI and got really touched by the effort and look forward to see Surjit Ji.
I do believe in that “Purpose of Life should be a Life with a Purpose”. Everyone should leave his/her mark in this world.
