In the memory of 3023 Cadet Nipinder Singh

Dear Friends,
This message is for those of our friends who may have known the late Capt Nipinder Singh, IN who passed away in Mumbai recently.
Nippy was in the XIX course, Fox Squadron. He had many sterling qualities, and just one weakness. He could never say any thing that hurt any one!
The likes of him come, but only once in a very long while.
The picture with the mail was taken when we had been in the Academy for just a few days.
Regards,
Maj Gen Surjit Singh (Retd)

Dear Coursemates,
Just heard that 'Nippy' has chosen to proceed on the long journey to nowhere.
I did not meet this noble person after the Academy, until I briefly saw him at the get togehter two years ago.
The face that is stuck in my mind of the lad who joined the academy 52 years ago as 2023 Cadet Nipinder. I fished out a picture from my files. In the bargain, many other faces appeared, and I kept poring at it for several minutes. And then, there was a lump in the throat. After I send this mail, maybe, I will feel better. Internet permits what poets call catharsis! Later or sooner, we will all join Nippy. And then we will be together again. I am going to Easy Squadron. Others may book their seats.
Happy Diwali
Surjit

My heartfelt condolences to the 19-28 Course family on this sad news.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
