I was commissioned, post independence, from IMA, Dehra Dun in of June 1955. The officers of that vintage were trying to come to terms with the army life style of the bygone era, a legacy left by the British, albeit with a drastically reduced pay-packet in hand. Thanks to the first pay commission, life was managed by the magic of post-dated cheques, payments by installments, supplemented by frequent withdrawals from the provident fund. A technical graduate competing with ex NDA and direct entry compatriots, I managed to overcome the numerous obstacles faced during training and later in service. I have had somewhat of a chequered career including a long tenure with DRDO, while I was in service and later in RAW followed by a stint with ECIL, a PSU, as their “Defence” advisor. These days I mostly spend my time painting, writing and at times interacting with Management and IT students on my area of interest: the topic of Soft Skills and serving IETE as a Council member. Degrees: MSc, PTSC, LDMC, FIET, FNTF, MSEMC (India)
