No one could have written this obituary to my School Mate more elegantly than the erudite scholar in the person of Vijay Khurana. He saves me a long commentary, for, having experienced friend and compatriot ( then Creature, now Kreature ) closely in the dorms and outside. Creature had it in him to ask for trouble, but his all round  sporting ability got him off easily from his Sportsman Housemaster Freddie. Anyway, always full of life and good cheer, Creature was the life of the Dorm and plenty outside.
We were playing mates in the School Cricket Eleven which was described by no less a person than our Famous Coach, Mr EA Cuzen ( Cuzzy between ourselves ) “ as the greatest ever to have represented either of our two Great Schools.” A tall compliment coming from one who, though an Old Cottonian, had taught at both the Schools.
The sad news on Creature came to me  early that fateful day through his cousin Harmeet Mamik ( my Kuddam ) and Resident here at Chandigarh.
Creature and I were regular What’s App correspondents, though our last meeting was at School itself at the time of the Golden Jubilee celebration of our Class, precisely mid September 2006.
My deep and heartfelt condolences to his brother Deepak, his devoted daughter and all his illustrious cousins.
God bless you Inderjeet, my friend, and keep you in his cosy lap for ever and ever. My final Adieu.

His younger brother, Deepak passed out in 58, and both were very similar in nature – that’s why they were know as Ctraetue 1 and 2. It was their Devil may care attitude to life.

Inder will be looking down at us with his trademark smile

He was a very lively chap – in fact the life of our class.
A good friend & always helpful.
Condolences to the family. Our prayers to the Almighty to grant his soul eternal peace.

If I am not mistaken Kanwal Sunder Singh was called Kreature. He was a great friend of Kanwal Harinder Singh of Ibbetson.

H. Singh was my Captain in Ibbestson.
