    Col OP Kalra

    Friends. It is nostalgic to read such affectionate Shradhanjlis to dear Col OP Kalra, who left us so suddenly for his heavenly abode. OP was indeed a thorough gentleman, man of few words, so likeable, very able and highly professional. We worked together for over a year in Signals 9 in early 1980s and I carry very fond memories of him.

    It is indeed very sad that his passing away was so untimely and he left us all so early in life. Our profound condolences to Mrs. Kalra and the Family. We share their grief. May God rest the departed soul in peace.

    We started this Blog in Dec 2007 for friends and colleagues to be able to express their feelings when one or the other colleague and comrade in arms leaves this World. It is indeed satisfying that the Blog is bringing us together in such times of grief and sorrow, as passing away of Col OP Kalra.
