It was sad neither top-ranking polticians or military officials attended the funeral. But the media, did well to highlight the general, whom the 20-something generation doesn’t know about.

Honestly, the episode you have quoted needs to be taken with a large dose of salt.

Manekshaw was a big egotist. He was full of that attitude which was epitomized by Cariappa and which continues to this day among the generals of Pakistan. That is, the army can run the country better than the elected representatives. Politicians are unlettered and corrupt, whereas the Army is incorruptible because it upholds the British traditions.

You may recall why Cariappa was pushed out to Australia as a High Commissioner. Manekshaw’s ambitions were curtailed by elevation to field marshal and exile to Coonoor.

Am a regular tarveller (count 2-3 times amonth) between BLR HYD. Agree with the pilot that Shamsabad is a much better airport on all rational counts !

Kamesh,

Wonderful picture of mysore, enjoying it. I have been around that area a few decades ago, but did not know about the Kesava temple. Beautiful architecture..

I look forward to your travelogues.

Some of her songs have been sung by Ramananjali (www.ramanamusic.org). I do agree with your thoughts, and hope that the songs get published too…

Pankajamma is really a blessed one, none other than by Sri. Ramana HIMSELF. Did she write in a notebook those devotional songs composed on Sri.Bhagavan? If so, I am sure, recording them (printed & published) would make a beautiful garland to our Lord and will certainly uplift the fellow devotees.

Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya

Good to have written about such less heard of spoken of places like this. It will be a good guide for people who are looking for new and better getaways.

Thank you Shivalji.

Yes, I have heard of the Kabir Vad tree. To visit the banks of Narmada is a long cherished desire of mine. God willing, I will enjoy the grace of Kabir Vad one day.

Namaste
