In a country that rarely celbrates its most illustrious sons, the innumerable armymen who die everyday safe-guarding our borders, it is hard to come across a military person who was as loved by civilians as was by his commanding officers. India has been lucky to have son like you, and how I wish there were a few more like you. But sadly, there can be only one Sam Bahadur.
Now, please do teach God a thing or two on how to run things better and at times put him/her in his/her place with you non-chalant wit. We will indeed miss our Field Marshal with those handlebar moustaches, quite very much...
