ARUN PARASAR'S SAGA GATHERING STEAM 

Three notable events yesterday have prompted the publication of this edition of the TDO after a long gap. Earlier in the month Ian had announced the occassion of the birth of a bonny son to his daughter. Yet another " Chubby Cheeks " now graces the earth with his presence. Ian is even more overjoyed as he managed to use this event as an excuse to pack off his better half to Bangalore. As per latest reports, he is busy giving a new colour to NOIDA after having painted the tricity red before that.

Pandit Tripathiji was so overjoyed on the announcement of the auspiscious birth of a son to Ian's daughter Melanie,  that he promptly blessed the entire Course for early grandparentship. Soon after, Kang announced from Calgary that his son, Navraj had been blessed with a daughter. Yesterday, a little angel descended in the home of Rakesh Gulati's daughter and it was a real treat to see the exultant & proud grandfather announcing the event . Even more so were the enthusiasm shown in the congratulatoty messages that followed. And then there were the blessings and congratulations to Manjeet Sidhu, his better half and Komal Kaur Sidhu for her excellent performance with an A(I) in YO's Course. What more can one ask for ? A long melodramatic, emotional tale penned by our own

talented Saint Soldier author from Zirakpur. Some humane points to mull over ! Rakesh has been entertaining the group with sher-o-shayari, with Saxi and then Jha lending a hand in jugal-bandi.

Meanwhile, Arun continued his saga of Regimental life in his own inemmitable classic style. The narrative is gradually catching speed and brings back fond memories of unit life.

It was so cute to observe Grandpa Kerr ( Mark-1) in op role - -- making discrete enquiries about the latest rules regarding carriage of liquor by Armd forces personnel to and from NOIDA. Even cuter still to see Manjeet Sidhu come up with his observations on the subject. Trust Manjeet to be confident that practically nothing had changed since the time he was staying in NOIDA years ago. Luckily, VS Naithani was able to come up with the latest rules. So while once again congratulating all the grandpas in this group and conveying the blessings of everyone to the little ones, there is a word of caution . Please do not do anything silly like leaving the group or taking part in any other disgraceful activity of that kind. After all, just give a thought as to what the grandkids would say to that. Because on the occurence of any such event ( activity unbecoming the honour & dignity of a GC/Offr and a grandpa), the same shall henceforth be immediately conveyed to the grandkid concerned through a special edition of TDO sent directly to the said grandkid !

Have a great weekend , all grandpas and grandpas-in-waiting !
