To a loving daughter , ” loss of father is like a never healing wound “. Such is the pain of Savneet. Her write up is not only eulogistic but most touching.
I too had the pleasure of a bit of Surinder & Stinder’s company while serving at Mathura & later in Southern Comd 1984-85. Of this brief stint together l carry very sweet memories of an unassuming intellectual, out & out dedicated professional engineer soldier having rare affable pesona – that was dear Brig Surinder. Together with Stinder, they made a very accomplished warm & hospitable couple; much popular at that. May his soul rest in heavenly peace!

Dear Sir,

Over the years I have heard so many good things about Brig Surinder from you… it is almost as though I knew him intimately, even though we met just once. And today after reading (and re-reading) your comment above there is no doubt how close you both were. I salute this strong bond between brothers and pray that all brothers be similarly blessed by God.

Warm Regards
Dhiraj

Both the write ups are excellent and bring out the very fine nature and qualities bestowed upon Brig Surinder by God Almighty.

I particularly like the emotive and eulogistic tribute so nicely penned by his daughter Ar Savneet Kaur. Thence no wonder that her dear father had sent her the text “Savneet, for the quality of your thoughts and creativity, I am extremely proud of you”

Losing a loved one is always one of the most painful experiences we all have to go through. Death Anniversaries do rekindle emotions – of sadness and grief which makes it very difficult for the near and dear ones to channelize their emotions into positivity. It’s so nice that the family has taken time think about the fond moments and thank the treasured person for the good times and life learnings he brought to their lives. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

To my surprise, the piece has elicited very few comments.
This is perhaps due to the fact that most of Surinder’s well-wishers had sent in detailed accounts of their memories last year when we posted a piece on his lif and achievements.
However, it is interesting to notice that the total number of readers who have ‘liked’ the post is at an all-time high!
RIP Surinder…I will join you soon…please make sure that I join you in your bridge four-some!

Best and most wonderful Father in the world
My father the late Brig Surinder Singh had a persona that reflected all the Sterling qualities a human being could possess.
He had an extremely high IQ that was measured when he was very young as he would get a double promotion in most of his schooling. He used to play a very high level of chess and was extremely difficult to win. But very humble
He played and won many tournaments in contract Bridge. Surinder Singh: Being a B Tech from IIT Delhi first batch He had an offer from a German company but the patriot in him and love adventure made him choose a glorious career in the Armed Forces.
He was selected twice to go to Russia for missile kwadrad and he picked up the Russian language at the age of early 40
He was sanguine and was my friend philosopher and guide and I discovered that his advice was highly sought after by everyone in the family
All my cousins including Divjot, Jasdev, Ripu, Gunni and Gulzar for all he was the favourite chacha He had a simple philosophy of life and often tell me that life is like a recipe, you need all the ingredients to make it happy and He always spoke less and listened more a quality I wish I had and spoke only when it was necessary with the result he was always respected for his selfless A sense of humour and joy de Vivre was his Hallmark.⁰ My coaching academy Hallmark Institute was his blessing to me and it was his vision that we could run it successfully for half a decade. The philanthropist in him permitted me to give free coaching to the meritorious. His superb motivational skills have led me to comply with my PhD in management something that we dreamed of. He was a gifted teacher a qualified instructor who was hero-worshipped by his students from the field of RADAR electronics and TQM his field of interest after retirement
He was the Dean FEL in Secundrabad and remained a dean in PTU where he served in many colleges. He was extremely fond of travelling and my eyes light up with the innumerable memorable trips to where he like a quite efficient Virgo planned the trips to a tee.

Music runs in the Bhai Heera Singh Ji’s family and our family anthem kisi Nargisi Nazar ko dil den ge hum that all the four brothers sang together brings back tears of nostalgia
