I believe my mother, in our village, had fainted on hearing the news, no food was cooked in my brothers house at Dehradun for two days. On the other hand my young sister’s- in -law in school those days, were feeling very important telling all their friends about their brother-in-law missing in operations. I do not know first hand, about Jeet I did not ask on meeting her and if I did I do not recall. The only saving grace was that the trauma was short lived, just two days or so. What had happened was that my brother had moved house .The NOK address care the old house was still unchanged consequently the telegram could not be delivered for quite some time and in the meantime they had learnt of my safe arrival through informal channels.
