Your words are like music in the ears!
At my age, they are much needed!

Thanks,Niloufer.
You are generous with your words.
This year, the great event is on the same day as our annual EME veterans get-together. So I will have to see how I can come to Kasauli, essentially to meet everyone there. But I am not sure that I will be able to join you for the gala dinner.

Narendra,
I spoke to Rajinder Bhatti about you and learnt that you were in the Ordnance. At once your face came in front of my eyes. We have met more than once. First, we met in Kirkee in the residence of the Comdt 512 ABW. And then we were together in a few official meetings. Please convey our regards to Ms Arora. I think she was associated with some TV programmes.
God bless.

to me, J

Dear Surjit,

To answer your question, I have migrated to Canada. We have been here for the past 33 years. I lost my wife and daughter to cancer. I live with my son. He works for a multinational company. My base in India is Pune, but I have not been able to go there for the past 4 years due to health issues and Covid.

Yes, I know Tommy very well. We served together in ASTE (previously A&ATU). He has done yeoman service as a test pilot.

Warm regards,
Krishna

Where are you located? My friend Thomas tells me that you have migrated to America.

Dear Surjit,

May God bless Nuri Beti and her family.

Recently I shared a news item on WhatsApp about the possibility of India becoming a 20 trillion dollar economy in the next 25 years and turning into a developed Nation:
‘A committed government and a nationalistic opposition dedicated to progress can make this dream come true. It will also trigger Ghar Wapsi for millions of NRIs struggling to make a living abroad.

‘India could also become a preferred destination for many foreigners who wish to migrate. It is well within the realms of possibility since TFR of India has fallen below the norm of 2.1:

‘Indian Economy Can Touch $20 Trillion By 2047: PM’s Economic Advisory Council Chairman | https://swarajyamag.com/business/indian-economy-can-touch-20-trillion-by-2047-pms-economic-advisory-coucil-chairman ‘

It could be a pipedream, but I do hope that it will happen sooner or later for the likes of Nuri and her family, and for my own son’s future.

Regards,
Krishna

Our father was of the firm view that I must join if and only if I was medically fit in all respects. He had seen cases in which cadets were ‘boarded out after they had completed a portion of the training. That was heart-rending and far worse than not joining at all.
As for our mother, she believed that I was better suited to become a teacher. She was also keen that at least one of her four sons should remain with the parents and look after our agricultural land. So both of them were in a state of equanimity.
