We had a get-together of the veteran Air Force officers and families based in Lucknow. A great evening as always, with the signature josh of the fauji people. A few lines to capture the spirit and camaraderie of the evening.
“A smile, a laugh, a wink, a clink
Loving faces and warm embraces
Endless chatter with friends who matter
Tales of squans and midnight plans.
Memories pop, and glasses are topped.
Old bonds are strong and new ones form
Eyes sparkle, and hearts are aglow
Loud are the laughs and stories flow.
Singing voices and dancing feet
Rejoicing spirits and gracious meet.
Firm are the links of the blue skies
Again and again we renew the ties.”
