    Maj TM Krishnan

    It is with deep sense of grief I came to know the sad and sudden demise of my dear good friend and colleague- Major TM Krishnan. Krish and myself reported to OTS POONA during September 1948 for military training prior to post commission training at the then School of Signals. Krish had the distinction to be the sword of honour cadet at the passing out parade of ots 1. Even at the school of signals he acquitted well and was fairly high on the merit list.he was a very good hockey and cricket player and a good leader of men, beloved by the troops.

    We were a bunch of young officers from 1 Air Formation Sig Regt, AHQ Sig Regt and the then 2 Coy of Western Comd Sig Regt who used to storm into Krish's house at Delhi cantt in weekend days in 1949- 1950. Krish and his dear wife and Rathi were good hosts and we all enjoyed the hospitality extended by them.'

    Krish was a cheerful and friendly individual acquitted himself as a good regimental officer. The sudden and sad demise of RATHI, his dear wife coupled with his departure on 2 Nov 2009 has been a severe blow to his children and their family.

    We all pray GOD ALMIGHTY to grant ever lasting peace to RATHI and KRISH and give strength and courage to his children to withstand the irreparable loss they have suffered......in deep sorrow
