Unfortunately for Major Sa’ab, I am a very unromantic person. At least as far as roses, teddies, cards and chocolates go. I don’t mind the candles, because you know, you can always use them when the electricity goes off (which is a problem in Army accommodations too). Heck I am the kind of person who… Continue reading Mom, dad, I love him!

Hello Reality
I was holding my phone, transfixed and petrified, not knowing what to do. This video, which had just been shared on a whatsapp group of my fellow army wives, gave me goosebumps to say the least. Somehow, I played this video again. And again,.... and again. It is one thing to hear about soldiers dying… Continue reading Hello Reality
Dear Tambola…
Dear Tambola, I don't believe you know me, but I know you quite well. I was introduced to you just a couple of days after I joined my husband at his unit location. I have to admit, that meeting you was a very unnerving experience. I think I underestimated your magical power. What power you… Continue reading Dear Tambola…
Major Sa’ab!
This December, Capt Sa'ab was promoted to the rank of Major, which meant two things -- a kickass party at home and his promotion at ACuriousArmyWife blog as well. I got this four pound camo-print cake made for him with words 'Sala mein Major Sa'ab ban gaya' on it (a spin on the bollywood song… Continue reading Major Sa’ab!

QM: Do you require accn, warrant, LRC? Adjt: Take some packed lunch. Wife: Why only you?There are other officers… Continue reading Camouflage and Humour: ‘Go to hell’
From ball partner to life partner!
I had moved to Pune to start off my professional life as a sub-editor at a newly launched newspaper. It was a gamble I hoped would payoff -- new job, new city, new everything! I had barely found a place to stay and was still trying to settle down, when my bestie called me up… Continue reading From ball partner to life partner!
Going to MH? Any good news?
My experience at a party (yes, a fauji party) taught me one important lesson. They don’t tell you about this or blogs, it is only after it happens to you (or someone you know) that you can be on your toes about when to mention the two letters M and H together in public. So,… Continue reading Going to MH? Any good news?

Protecting everyone!
This is a picture taken by Capt Sa'ab, who was recently out for a camp with a bunch of other faujis. The day they landed at the camp site they realised they had some unusual guests. Three kittens living in the barracks had accidently gotten themselves packed with the men's stuff! Well, needless to say,… Continue reading Protecting everyone!
