This is the story of my life. I am no celebrity, even though a lot of people are to their kith and kin (Am I? I wonder). I am not someone who people will or should look up to or maybe even emulate. This book is about looking back at my life, remembering the choices I have made, and their ramifications. Have these years been full of failures, or have they been foundations on which the pillar of success was or could have been built. Was the pillar finally built? Is this book an autobiography? Is it just a rambling of a person who is remembering the milestone moments of his life? Is it a series of confessions? Is it a way to pen down my life’s journey in anticipation of taking that final flight to the other world? I leave it to you to decide. All I can hope for is that you have a good time going through these pages. If I can manage to provide some topics of conversations, going beyond the confines of just my own life, about various aspects that one might be confronted with, how to conduct oneself, it would all have been worth it.
In the summer of 2020, China and India came near to war. The nuclear-armed adversaries both massed troops and equipment along their disputed border in eastern Ladakh. The two sides slugged it out with fists, stones and clubs, next to a fast-flowing Himalayan stream, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries, many from hypothermia. The entire 4,000-kilometre Sino-Indian boundary is disputed. In 1962, the two countries fought a short and vicious war that went badly for India, and from which Nehru never recovered. The border, called the Line of Actual Control, is not marked on any map agreed upon by the two sides; it runs through the largely unpopulated and inhospitable high mountains of the H...
It’s a gripping narrative of hopes and dreams, fast money, and corruption; woven around an unscrupulous businessman, questionable bankers, a rookie IPS officer, doctors, and the police force, with perpetrators unconcerned about the repercussions on innocent people.

"In every person’s life, there are a few moments, when one thinks it is the end of life and there is no hope. For some that is the end but in many cases, people miraculously escape the inevitable. They survive to describe those moments of peril to others. The personnel of the Armed Forces while at war face such moments daily, even several times in a single day, particularly the officers and men in the Infantry battalions. They survive, embracing these moments of deadly danger. When enemy forces attack our country, soldiers want to live another day, not to tell the story to near and dear ones but to fight the enemy yet another day."

History has thrilling accounts of brilliant Generals leading small armies to defeat huge forces of their opponents. Better the Generalship, greater the victories. The Indian Army too has produced many great Generals, who have defeated evil designs of adversaries. Yet they have produced none like Rommel, Manstein, Model, or even like some old Indian warriors like Maharana Pratap, Hari Singh Nalwa, or Zorawar Singh. India can and must produce Generals of that calibre; Generals who don’t just defend territory or restore status quo, but those who annihilate aggressors, to teach memorable lessons to adversaries who transgress, who initiate punitive actions for conventional and nuclear deterrence to be effective. To produce Generals of such calibre, the first step is to understand what is good a Generalship. Then study Generalship in previous conflicts to appreciate achievements and also learn lessons from opportunities missed. Only then the Armed Forces can institute measures to improve the quality of Generalship for the future. This book is written to facilitate such study, in that order.
