Tanakpur: Reminiscence of a Soldier

More about the book

The early hours of falling night in the jungle, with its cool breeze laden with unknown sweet smell was intoxicating. It was a glorious moonlit night... I had a straight fall from several hundred feet. I squatted to hold the rock but there were loose stones; the reflection of the sun on the distant snow-covered peaks was dazzling the eyes... Tanakpur: Reminiscence of a Soldier is a recollection of Dr. Capt. J. Prasad's life. It begins with the circumstances under which he had joined the Army, his style of work in Army and proceeds to describe the places he had been posted at, their fauna and flora through his eyes. He has talked about adversities and how he had dealt with them. He has also recounted the human behavior of unknown benefactors, and his relation with his colleagues, superiors and subordinates. He ends it with the circumstances under which he left the Army, along with his opinion about the army service.
