Black Military boxes? No no, I want some colour
An army family is going to be on the move all the time. Count yourself lucky if you get 2-3 years of an uninterrupted peace posting. Having met so many defence families, I have come to a simple conclusion -- pati saath ho na ho, black fauji trunks kabhi ek fauji biwi ka saath nai… Continue reading Black Military boxes?

9 Reasons why Maggi and Fauj are made for each other
We all had a harrowing time when Maggi was banned. What a relief that it's coming back to reunite with her beloved fauji. I keep reading about how much Maggi means more to everyone that probably a lot of other meaningful things (I am not judging them, cos I am a Maggiholic myself). But Indian… Continue reading 9 Reasons why Maggi and Fauj are made for each other
Asha School student Laxmi excels in Special Olympics
Kudos to Laxmi Kumari, who won medals for India in Special Olympics recently. FYI, she is a product of the Asha Special Children School, which is run by the Indian Army (or is it AWWA?).

First packing experience. What a pain!
And I am back... 🙂 Not that I was missed, I know. But it still feels great to write "I am back", for purely selfish reasons with which I won't bore you.

Was becoming a Major really a major change?
It is funny to observe the way people think. They never ask questions to confirm fact... they just assume and think of the first thing that comes to their mind. I realised this recently when my husband wrote a harmless sentence on social media which got interpreted in the completely opposite way by almost all… Continue reading Was becoming a Major really a major change?

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!
Tapori Ladies’ Meet
As soon as the name of the unit/battalion which will host the next Ladies' Meet is announced, it is like the begul has been sounded for the next big battle. "What should we have as our theme?" is the big question which Arnab Goswami has sadly ignored. One fine day, when I had nothing better… Continue reading Tapori Ladies’ Meet
