Musings of a Soldier Bravest of the Brave
Eclectic Northeast
|April 2021
For the readers of my ‘musings’, let me fast forward to my years as an officer in the Army. Not many of you would be aware that I served in the ‘infantry’ – soldiers who measure ‘victory’ on foot (!) – that too, with the ‘Gorkhas’.
I am not getting into the nitty-gritty of the Army as an organisation nor do I have the ‘space’ to delve too deeply into ‘Infantry’. Suffice to say that I was fortunate to have served with the Gorkhas for more than two decades and it would be but natural for me to write about my ‘love affair’ with this ‘band of warriors’ from the hilly terrain of Nepal.

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
