I saw Manekshaw, perhaps in 1971 coming out of Gaylord restaurant in Regal building after linch. He was accompanied with with another officer, whom I didn't recoganise. Manekshaw was wearing his typical cap and looking very rlaxed. There was no other visible security. It was war days. When a correspondent asked him the key to success of India's victory over Pakistan he remarked in a lighter vein 'because Manekshaw was on Indian side'. The remark created lot of ripples and critisizm. I salute to this great soldier and a human being.
