We are a blessed family.
And then, in service, I had the privilege of serving with you and Harinder amongst some others in my very first tenure.
It gave me a great start!

Thanks. It does not need any effort. Words flow out on their own.

My personal memories are of my colleagues like you. Of all my tenures, I remember Mile Five as the most unforgettable period. You and Hari have a special space on my memory screen.

Regards to Heena from both of us.

I had two brothers older than me. Now all three of them have left…

I look towards you, to take their place, single-handed.

Thanks.

I have known Thomas for about 65 years. His genius is well known amongst all our friends and colleagues.

What I have written to Nuri applies to you just as much! When are you coming to Chandigarh next?

You choose your words very well. Your message made my eyes wet. When your Papa was here, he used to sit by my side and we used to do all these things together. Now I am alone and often feel that age is catching up on me.

Pitaji started this labour of love. We brothers have done our bit. Now the time has come for us to pass on the baton. I am certain that you and your cousins will keep the family flag flying high. Surjit Chacha

Thanks. You have made my day.

I am not sure that we will be able to meet in the near future, because I am not able to move about.

Would it be possible for you to take some video clips of you and your family (especially your Papa and Mama on any occasion like a birthday or anniversary and send them to me?

And just one more favour. Just continue to be yourself. You are a vivacious person. The DNA of our saintly ancestor runs in your veins, in abundance. The legacy will get passed down to the benefit of your lineage. Surjit Chacha

I am impelled to offer ‘Naman’ to your choice of words.
