Message: Uddu and Subbu were the best of pals and great buddies who joined the unit together. I still remember the day very vividly because I had the privelage of mixing their welcome drink. I also remember the day they had passed their probation and the effort of carrying back both the hulks to their room after the usual ceremony. It just bonded me more closer
to them as I felt responsible for them in every way.These tough dudes were the thickest of pals and great go getters.
Every now and then, old memories come back flooding the heart all at once and it makes me realise the actual impact of the blow that we have received. But thenours is not to reason why,ours is just to do and die...so we go on and continue with what we all have to do, and who better to emulate then these guys.
While Subbu was a serious natured guy meaning only business most of the time, Uddu was his counterpart. He was meant to lighten up the environment. Where ever he was present, you could expect the atmosphere to be rocking. He could cheer up the dullest of gatherings. But it was not all fun and games for Uday and this fact can easily be vouched for by all his
friends from the last unit in which he served. Not only did they have a great guy for company, they learned certain important aspects of soldiering which I can say with surety they will never forget. He was a great guy, the best of friends, a great soldier and above all an unquestionable gentleman. His bubbling spirit showed in all his actions. It is really a proud
feeling to know that these guys were from my unit.
Moments may pass away and things may change,
Memory may get dulled and tears wane,
But one thing I can vouch for is That his Spirit will always remain.
I know that Uday is around because a soldier never dies and so for your eyes Uday--
We all are and will always be proud of You.
I have taken a long time to put down my thoughts, firstly to think of all those great times we all have spend together, your absence now, and most importantly because it hurts to put down your feelings and thoughts about a person you like and not havng him around but then my coming to terms with it is more to do with the feeling of Uddu being around.

3. I am certain that god almighty shall protect the Major, and he is now in his care. Take heart. When wickedness grows in this world, he takes the form of the chastiser of the wicked, When injustice rears its head, he becomes the destroyer of iniquity.
Let us thank god for giving the nation heroes like Major Udai Singh!

Message: Udai is an integral part of the memories i have of my stay in IMA.He was my senior there but never behaved like one,he had a cool attitude and was helpful and use to motivate us all the time,saying that one must look at the bigger picture and to not get bogged down by the gruelling schedule in IMA. Everyone knew even then that he was going to join
para's. He had that rear combination of being chilled out in life coupled with steely determination to achieve his goals. It has been two years since udai laid down his life for the country, but i didnt know about it. My career in the army was cut short by an injury and i shifted to mumbai. It is tough for me to put in words as to what i feel after knowing about
udai.When i look back in time,i feel priveleged to have interacted with somebody like uday, for me he represented the best of qualities and was a perfect posterboy for a career in the forces.Men like uday are rear and truly lucky ones get a chance to meet someone like him. In the end i would like to say that it really doesnt matter as to how much time udai spent on
this planet, beacause he enjoyed every moment and inspired others around him to live life to the fullest. He lived ten lives during the twenty-nine years he was here.

Dear Parents of a Great Soldier,
Namaskar. We are proud of your dear son and his achievements in such a short span of time. His Paper Napkin says it all.
He would for ever be a role model to many in our country. His supreme sacrifice will not go waste.
Your son will be remembered by us for he is one of the very few who gave his today for our tomorrow. He was one of the few rare breed of young men who considered duty supreme. In this Kaliyug, such men are few and far between.
We know that you and your family will miss your son forever. You will live only with the memories of his life in your midst.
But you are not alone in this. We, as part of Indian Exservicemen eGroup, share your sorrow and grief and at the same time, we are proud of your son, as much, if not more, than you are.
May God rest his soul in eternal peace. May He grant you the strength to bear this great loss.
