Dear General,

Very nice piece. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

It took me back to my childhood. Your reference to Jhelum carried me to Khushab on its banks,

Where I was born, but never lived, and yet, yearn to visit it. Surjit, who is from Sargodha, and I, even made plans

To visit these places, but somehow, it never worked out. Insha Allah some day !!!

And you could teach the English a thing or two about their language.

I have hung up my boots but stay on as non executive Director of Endolite.

Trust you are keeping well and your prosthesis is comfortable.

Would you like Sweta from Hyderabad Centre to visit you and carry out a check?

With warm regards.

My THANX to Gen Surjit for bringing to light this Story, which one would have never seen otherwise.
Having intimately known Gen Yogi Sharna as a Lovable- Trusted senior in the Regiment, it is only now that we have come to know of his ‘ Historic’ background & Spartan upbringing — inculcating in him the values which we ourselves in the Regt have had the Good fortune to learn from him.
Thank You, Gen Yogi, Sir, for the ‘ Lead’ that YOU have given us in almost all spheres of our Service Life — & even thereafter.
While others may ‘RIP’, may you continue to live Long so that you remain there as a ‘ Beacon’ for us.
Thanx for setting examples for us to emulate — including the writing of our own past.

Maj Gen Aditya Jaini

Thanks, Surjit

I had met Gen Yogi Sharma quite often when he was Xll Corps Cdr in Jodhpur, when I was a small fry Air 1, at HQ SWAC there, in 1990-92. His wife had an ‘Athenian’ connection, if I recall right!

Impressive, both as a man & as a Cdr!

Hi Surjit
Thanks a lot . Having served with Gen Yogi Sharma, it was pleasure to read the story , though one knew most of the basis facts , there are many which were not known to us.

He was great soldier and she was a very hospitable person Their daughter was also growing into a young ladyat Mhow and at Wellington . I remember my last dinner with the family at Belgaum , where i had gone too visit my brother Though I had by then retired , he insisted that we have dinner with the family.

Thanks

Sir,

Many years ago, when Khushwant was with the ‘Illustrated Weekly’ he was approached by a lady who had written the story of her dutiful son, whom she had brought up very well. The boy did well in studies, and passed all examinations without using unfair means. He did a stint abroad, but even in the USA, he never spoke to any young lady. On return, he married the girl of the parents’ choice and joined the family business. Needless to say, he was a very caring son.
Old Khushwant turned to her and said,

“Madam, this tale is fit to be recounted in a temple or gurudwara. If I edit it for the “Weekly” it may not be able to cover a complete stamp… not even a revenue stamp!”

The story told in this post would have been selected. It has enough twists and turns to hold the reader.
