Because I miss Mazreen so much today, for God knows what reason, I decided to google Devlali a bit. Devlali's the place his camp is at.

Found the following news:

Singapore and Indian Army to Hold Joint Exercise
Posted by vkthakur on Monday, January 17, 2005 (EST)

Singapore, India Sign Memorandum Of Understanding For Army Exercise in India Earlier today, the Indian High Commissioner to Singapore His Excellency Alok Prasad and Chief of Army MG Desmond Kuek signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on behalf of the Indian Army and the Singapore Army for the inaugural joint army exercise in India next month.

The exercise from 11 Feb to 5 Apr 05 will involve armour and artillery units from both armies. The armour exercise will be held at Babina Field Firing Range about 400km southeast of New Delhi, while the artillery exercise will be conducted concurrently at Devlali Field Firing Range about 200km northeast of Mumbai.

This exercise will provide the Singapore Army with a valuable opportunity to train alongside the Indian Army, and will enhance mutual understanding and inter-operability between the two armies.

The forthcoming exercise is also a reflection of the growing defence cooperation between Singapore and India.

The Republic of Singapore Air Force recently conducted its inaugural exercise with the Indian Air Force in October 2004, while the Republic of Singapore Navy conducts regular exercises with the Indian Navy

The author mentioned that it's from 11 Feb til 5th April. But Mazreen went on 6th April, meaning 5 days earlier than scheduled plan. Therefore he will come back on 1st April right? Meaning it's quite confirmed that he's coming back on 1st April, which is in exactly THREE WEEKS time!! Meaning in 3 weeks time, at this time, Insya'Allah he'll be safe at home resting or sleeping and I will be happy coz he's back. Haha.

There are many more news reports but basically all about the same thing.. but of course I read through all of them. Go google Devlali Singapore Armed Forces, and go read all of them, if you're interested and have nothing to do.

And then, I decided to google for a map of Devlali, India. (Google - Images) Couldn't find any though that has Devlali in it. There's Dadra or something.. Mazreen did mention a D-word city the other time, said Devlali is near to this city.. so perhaps that's it.
