Good to hear from you, as always.
We look forward to a piece from you. If you write something about the IMA, with the focus on your illustrious father, it will be very well received.
Regards for Promila from both of us.

Your blessings mean a lot to the young lady.
She is a bright lady, and an IAS aspirant. I am sanguine that the Civil Services will benefit when she joins the Service.
She comes from a family where the value system takes precedence over everything else. And that is rare in the world today.

Yes. Excess of everything is bad. And mobile phones are no exception.
Soon, the pendulum will swing towards the other direction…

The more I see of the next generation, the more I find that they think and write much better than we did.
We are in safe hands…the future of our country is bright!

Good evening
It’s absolutely true. Family Time has become a Past Tense and it’ll be Good if we can break the Jinx and keep Technology on the back-burner lest we miss out on the more important things in Life_FAMILY

Regards and Best Wishes,
Lieutenant Colonel Manu Chaudhary,(Veteran)

Thanks.I think we have lost our touch with the nature and everything appears so artificial. I think Ms Pranjal has a
a message.
Regards.
Maj Gen Samay Ram

Yes, I agree with the young lady. The Cell should have remained as a Mobile Phone to enable instant contact from where ever and whenever. The add-ons were, and are, inevitable Recall the RS-62 with its heavy btys and the relief when the light wt AN PRC made its appearance. I’m a dunce and can only use it as a phone and for SMSs.

Cheerio for now, and take care, Ernest.
