"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalThis is a tale of deceit and vengeance based on Pukhtoonwali – a Pathan’s code of conduct. It is surprising how events of a nearly forgotten past sometimes catch up with the present. A small incident during the 1971 Indo-Pak war triggers a series of events that result in revenge nearly 50 years later.
'A Life so Full' is the story of Suraj, a third generation Army officer. He firmly believes that every time you fall into an abyss, a door opens somewhere with an opportunity to climb to the top once again. The book gives an insight into the heart and soul of a young Indian Army officer in different situations, including the times when he faces live enemy bullets for the first time.
A very compelling narrative that spans over seven decades where the author shifts in a seamless manner from the past to the fast-paced world of today with ease. The lucid writing transcends the military to civil transition with ease as the protagonist travels from a strict uniform regimen to the nuances of civilian corporate leader. His deed of valour during the war 50 years ago becomes the reason that pushes him into a near abyss, but the soldier in him ensures that he comes out unscathed.
