It roughly translates as follows-
.
I am living on your promises knowing well that these are false
Otherwise would have died of happiness- had I faith in your promises.
So let us be happy of not dying of happiness & that these cannot be true.

Well, I got the information and considering that it would not be inappropriate to inform all friends, veterans and those sitting on fond hopes, passed it on to all I could. Lets hope, that part of Ghalib's (incidentally one of my favourites) historical ghazal, for once does not prove to be a jhootha Vayda.

All the same I have requested Brig Chander Kamboj to verify its authenticity through his more reliable sources.

Dear Satish Dewan,
ReplyDeleteOn the basis of information sent by you, I also passed the good news on to a large number of my addressees. Most of them have bombarded me with questions on its authenticity and date of applicability etc etc. Many feel it may be handiwork of some mischievious elements or a hoax or a day dream and what not.
So what it actually is? Would you not like to obtain the necessary and authentic information on the good news given by you, and pass it on to me for further dissemination to all the hopefuls. Or should we ignore its contents.

With due regards, should we be in a such a hurry to send mail on issues that concern the ESM without verifying it or having the info from the Web or a hard copy from the Government?

My Dear RNRK,
Before I say anything else, I would like to tell you that I also had one RN Radhakrishnan with me, who passed out from IMA on 2 Aug 1964. No contact with him at all since then. Are you the same or some one else?
Well, I definitely agree with your observation. I got the information I sent through some one who has been exchanging mails with me for over a year. Considering that it would not be inappropriate for me to inform all friends, veterans and those sitting on fond hopes, passed it on to all I could. I have already requested for a hard copy from my source.
Since, I myself am unsure of its authenticity I have requested Brig Chander Kamboj also to verify its authenticity through his more reliable sources. Lets hope for the best anyway.
BTW I really appreciate the wonderful analysis you have done and are doing on the aspect of pensions of all ranks. Your knowledge and study you have carried out on the subject, is literally amazing. I wish you continue doing the good work and pass on your observations and inferences to all concerned, especially the people who matter. We can then certainly hope, that sooner than later something really beneficial would come through for the defence veterans.
All the best and good luck in your noble mission.
With fond regards.
Sincerely yours,
