  1. Respected Sir,

    Greetings to you !

    Firstly, heartiest congratulations ! I became a fan of yours, right from the time I met you at the IndianOil International Aviation Conference at Goa. It was a real pleasure meeting you and Madam at the conference. We were also fortunate to meet DK Singh Sir at the conference. In my album, I have photographs which myself and my wife keep seeing and remembering the good time we all had.

    I would like to let you know a little of myself: I retired from Indian Oil Corporation, HQs Mumbai, as Chief Aviation Manager in May 2012 after putting in 39.5 years of service. I have now joined a U.S. based Jet Fuel Company as General Manager (India & Sub-Continent).

    I would be grateful if I receive a response from your goodself.

    With best regards,

    AS Bamrah
