I enjoyed reading the piece, as usual, you put across profound thoughts through simple anecdotes. A sense of optimism and pragmatism was the hallmark of the revered old generation.

Surjit, you are a genius. You have written exactly what we were brainwashed to believe. It was nonsense. We have seen it and as is normal in life, a generation can not imagine what changes time will bring in the next twenty years or so.

Ajai, Thanks. I am in the process of writing a full-length article, exclusively on life in CI Camp, where my schooling began in 1949. But upon going through my website, I found a piece entitled, “Perfectly Imperfect” which was inspired by the Tons river. Surinder joined me in writing it. The link to this piece is https://amolak.in/web/perfectly-imperfect/#comments. Do let me know what you think of it. I am also keen to do a piece on your parents, but for that you will have to give me inputs. Regards for Promil ji from both of us. Surjit

[3:26 PM, 4/30/2024] Ajai Chandele Gen: Good afternoon sir.
Decades have passed, but her face will remain etched in my memory forever. I have experienced her kindness and love for children as a 10-year-old.
[3:27 PM, 4/30/2024] Ajai Chandele Gen: Have you written anything on CI camp, Premnagar?
Would love to read sir

Beautifully penned Uncle

The present lot of Modi lovers (and Nehru haters) would be too happy to spread this indication of their favourite anti-hero

Sir,
Marvellous and well-penned-down homage.
Must admire the wisdom of your mother and the faith she had in the ability of Indians. Which conclusively proves that wisdom is not a slave of college degrees. Her thoughts are being echoed by the present ambassador of the US Garcetti in India where he is candid enough to admit that one has to be an Indian to be a CEO of a large company in the US. I feel Nehru and successive Governments in India never projected the correct picture of deaths due to Bengal Femine to people of the country. Famine was acute but most of the people died because Britishers never released the reserve stock food to overcome the shortage of grain and kept on sending it to the UK to feed its Armed Forces.

Amazingly singularity of wisdom exhibited by Jhai ji that is now showing up
You have a way of catching the attention of anyone with your choice of words gripping situation and lifetime experience narration
Remembering Jhai ji
One of the most pious ladies that I have heard of and met briefly
Her blessings upon the family from up above are always needed
