My friend Toms has penned an ode to the 'Safari' which I am reproducing here. This is in sharp contrast to my vitriolic comments about the same attire. Well, this is the brighter version of the story. Toms has become a regular poet - what say guys !!
Ode to Safari Suit
(Maj.P.E.Thomas Panicker)
The day has come at last
A trusted associate of long past
Has been forced to retirement
After decades of dedicated employment
Served as a reliable adornment
Was Security Officers' companion well meant
Alas! Of late shunned and scorned
The end came sooner than imagined
Matchless you were, dear Safari
You gave us importance and dignity
Times have now changed and you're old
But your memories we'll cherish as gold
Adieu Safari, adieu and thanks
Good wishes from all our ranks
Your service we'll always treasure
May you embellish the best, we desire

Aey Safari,
To thee dress badee niyaaree
Pahna karte the tujhe
Suraksha adhikaree
Lekin tujh mein thee kuchh
Apnee hee khaamiyaan
Jiskee vajah se
Tujhko hamne laat maree
Garmiyon kee dhoop mein
Paseeney ke daag
Door se chamakte the
Armpits ke paas
Tu kabhee jo dress thee
Unche adhikaariyon kee
Ban gayee pahchaan ab
Taxi driveron kee
Haan yeh zaroor hai
Tu jachtee thee kuchh par
Chahey vo kabil ho yaa fir
Ho koyee anaaree
Lekin zyaada tar yeh hee
Paayaa tha hamne
Ki tune achhe achhon kee
Personality bigaaree
Is liye oh piyaaree
Ab khatam apnee yaaree
Tujhe alvidaa hamaaree
Aey safari
Sirji,
Aapne such yeh baat keh dali
sab man hi man is dress ko dete te ghali
aapne such yeh baat keh dali.
lekin likha hai applicable as and when next issue is due
iska matbal aade rahenge safari mein aur aade suit mein, esa kyuon ?
aade hi tod payenge safari se yaari
aade hi bhol payenge alvidha safari
Yeh kaisi vidambhana hai hamari.
Regards,
Capt Sudhakar
