Re collection. At this point of time readers should know some of the developments. 4 Engineer Regiment whom Ganesan left at Rangya in 1968 have moved out from there to Chandigar under an Engineer Brigade and became experts in the recently introduced Krupman Bridging Equipments. After their tennure there, they again ordered to move toRangapara, Assam under 4 Core in mid 1971. But because of the uncertainity of their location Ganesan was given warrant to Gauhati only.
In the family front, we know that Ganesan's younger brother got married in Dec 1970 and after Ganesan moved to CME his brothers made some sincer attempts to get him married. Ganesan went to Madras once or twice to see suitable girls. Generally in south especially in Madras people have very low opinion about Army officers and in their opnion only unsuitable and rejected lots for good civil appointments will go to Army. Even in matrimonial market only rejected and over aged girls will be willing to marry Army officers as a last option. Because of this Ganesan decided that he will not take any hasty step and wait for a suitable family who respect Army. He also felt that suitable exposure is not there even to his brothers because of which they were not able to find suitable bride for Ganesan. After his mothers death Ganesan felt that the closeness of relationship amongst his brothers sisters also braking up.
Because of such disturbed mental state Ganesan did not know to whom he should keep informed about the developments in his life. so he did not inform any body about suspension of Degree courses and his move out of CME. Ganesan felt that his life is like a chordless kite , free to fly any where as the wind takes. At the same time he understood that he is a resposible officer and cannot bring any insult to uniform. such thought process was going on in Ganesan's mind as the train Deccan Queen speeding towards Bombay. He knows tha he has to go Eastern sector upto Gauhati and then locate his Regiment. He and another Army officer went and saw PATTON an english movi at Bombay. George s.Patton of the US Army was one of the finest officer of 2nd World war, about whom Ganesan have read a lot. So he enjoyed the movi and with that mental satisfaction he Boarded Assam mail at Bombay central. Contd....
