BADAL VERMA
An alumnus of the National Defence Academy and proud Infantry Officer, Colonel Badal Verma is a happy man. He has vast firsthand ground experience in the counterinsurgency and anti-militancy operations both in the Kashmir Valley as well as the North East, where he had several trysts with death, the constant companion of a soldier! The Indian Army gave him the opportunity to scale the entire length and breadth of India, including the virgin lands of the North-East, where he served for over 10 years and met some of the finest people. The insights that he developed as a uniformed soldier not only helped him in negotiating some slippery grounds of his second career in civvies gracefully but also in developing a holistic perspective towards life. His fondness for the randomness of the pandemonium of life enthralled him to adorn a permanently positive bias in living and belief in it even when life was not very kind to him. There is no part of him that can be put under a label. He really doesn’t fit into a box – Colonel Badal Verma is as fearless, unhindered, and free as his namesake in the sky!
