Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani

This is a strange love story. A couple reunited after 70 long years. This is the real life story of Ethel Doby and Bill Thompson who first met in 1934 through mutual friends. They became quite close that year and spent lots of time together.

Ethel remembered that Bill was a bit slow and disappeared for some time suddenly after spending so much time together. When he came back after some time and asked her to marry him, Ethel was already going out with someone else. Then Ethel and Bill never talked again for 70 years.

They lost all contact and in a few years they both met their spouses. They had reasonably successful married lives with a few children. Today they both have grandchildren and a few great grand children as well. They spent these years working and spending time with their families.

Ethel's husband died in 1964 though and since then she never re-married again. It was in 2004, that Bill missed Ethel once again after his wife passed away. He started wondering if she was alive. He started searching for her and somebody knew where Ethel lived. So, Bill called Ethel up in 2006 and asked if he could meet her up for an hour.

They met and talked but not for an hour. Since then they have been together as great friends and companions. They are both 94 years old now but they love each other's company. They say they often talk like they are very young. They dated again after all these years. Ethel was very nervous because she had not dated anyone in the last 40 years after her husband's death.

Well, I totally think this is one strange love story (Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani) completely. I thought they got separated cause of some war but when I read the story it was purely their own decision. They met, they fell in love, the guy disappeared, the girl met someone else, when he came back to marry her she was not ready and then they lived happy lives. And then after 70 years they met again because there was something between them. The connection was always there. I guess it true that one does get back to his or her first love then. Anyhow, it also opens the door of hope for many who wish to re unite with their loved ones soon.

The Battle of Longewala

After drifting for approximately thousand kilometers from Alwar, I have reached Longewala. This place romanticizes me allot. The battle of Longewala a legend in itself. It is located at 120 kms from city of Jaisalmer. Only way to reach this place is boulevard and if you are tourist then you have to hire a cab. Longewala is prevalent because of the illustrious skirmish tussled between India and Pakistan in 1971. The clash of Longewala is all about how hundred odd men clogged and overwhelmed approximately 2000 Pakistani legionnaires. This battle was all about the audacity, impetus, chauvinism and drive to prizefight exhibited by those eighty Indian warriors. This scuffle is one of my favorite scuffles, and whenever I come to this place, my mind start envisaging how horde of men repudiated the destiny. During the Indo-Pak war of 1971, A-Coy of 23 Punjab had taken up the defences at Longewala. The A-Coy company commander was Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri later on emer...

Mission Accomplishment Paramount Even as IAF Initiates ODS Alternatives in Weapon Systems The Indian Air Force (IAF) is adopting a multi-pronged strategy to combat ozone depletion including limiting the use of Halon to mission critical uses, tighter control laws and incorporating accountability towards phase-out of ODS (Ozone Depleting Substances) said Air Chief Marshal PV Naik while delivering the inaugural address at the two-day International Workshop on ‘Benefits of ODS Phase-out in Defence Forces’ organized by Centre for Air Power Studies (CAPS), today.
