Jyoti,
Thanks for the kind words.
This particular piece is written by one of my erstwhile colleagues. It depicts how soldiers live. Physical life is tough, but the soldiers are able to take it in their stride.

Dear Vashisht,
Indeed, we must have met.
Bur Sevoke Road officers were a bit removed from the rest of us, and therefore, you all did not join us at the BCI functions, where we met socially.
Be that as it may, I am glad to ‘meet’ you now, on the Internet!

Thank you, Dhiraj. It was not really the liquid spirit that triggered the action on that cold winter night but the urge to defy a restriction imposed by the DS when an opportunity presented itself. Maybe an early sign of leadership trait – taking a calculated risk in a hostile environment.

You know very well I am a social drinker and NOT an addict. I think a disclaimer is in order.
Warm regards
Harikumar

Dear Sir,

A really interesting story.
What a marvellous experience these veterans as young officers had.
Absolutely unmatchable.
Only in Army one can have such an adventure.
Kudos to them.

Regards,
Sitendra Kumar

Surjit Sir,
Liked Brig Hari Kumar’s & your lucid narration.
Those were the days cautious yet carefree.

Jasdev,

Indeed. Sikkim was the high point in our service life. The memories of that period are indelible. And colleagues like Hari, Simeon, Dhiraj and Khera made life a pleasure. Indeed, we must never forget Dhan Singh Thapa, PVC who brought a cake for your birthday, which he baked in his own unit!
God bless them all.
Surjit
