In an Army officer’s life, retirement and death are preordained. Date of death is unknown but the date of one’s retirement is known and generally, the planning for the retirement starts in the last few years of the service.
I have endeavored to pen down a few interesting incidents during my service life. Some are of just humorous value, some throw up a moral and some may indicate a lesson to be learned for the future.
