My day is incomplete without remembering you. Yesterday, I was there in MDC & I was telling new manager & GET coordinator (like prasad) about you, Prasad & Anupal.
I am currently working with New Horizon College of Engineering, Bangalore as HOD automobile. All my faculties are familiar with you though they have not seen you (through my experience sharing).

Pradyumna is studying BE MECH in Bangalore. Currently, exams are going on. Once he returns to Hosur, I will send our photo.

I have read half moustache story. I recollected that you had told me the same earlier. Enjoyed it again. Clock tower – repair was also a good one.

Thanks for wonderful writing & sharing.

Regards / Dr. BV Prabhu

He came with news cutting pasted in his register and write down the comment below. I posted the snapshot. Please go through the fb post.

I am not sure how you got hold of my e-mail address, serendipity or just coincidence (I hope it was the first!). Anyway, just a few weeks back, in the last communication I received from my cousin, Vinay Malhotra, before his untimely passing away – he forwarded a link to an article re. the Kasauli church bell at the website you run. We have a long family connection with Kasauli and Sanawar (in fact my late Dad was born there). Perusing your very interesting website brought back a flood of memories – re. Sanawar , my electronics instructor at IITD, Prof P V Indiresan and also the Shahpur/Sargodha area, where my father taught at the local college – if you have older acquaintances from that area ask them about de Montmorency College – now Sargodha Univ. Reading your family history leads me to conjecture you are Khukhrain Khatri by background. Am I correct?

I surmise that you served in the EME branch of the Indian army. A cousin of mine was married to an EME officer – Col DP Bhalla – who unfortunately had some health issues resulting from a motorcycle or car accident. Were you acquainted with him – just out of curiosity? DP must have been senior to you. I took the liberty of forwarding the link to your website to DP’s son, Anil Bhalla. He responded thus (excerpts from e-mail cut and pasted) –

Thanks every so much for sending that website. It sure sent me on a long
nostalgic trip down memory lane. Maj Gen (then, Brig) Surjit Singh was my
commanding officer at 509 Army Base Workshop back in ’89. Good to know he’s
still going strong.

Its small as compare to our Big Ben Clock, but good to see your beautiful clock too. Congratulations for bringing the clock back to life.
