Boots Belts Berets is a tongue-in-cheek book about life in the National Defence Academy. Summary of the Book The NDA makes men out of boys. There is adventure, there are thrills and quite a bit of danger as well. However, there is little by way of women. Nikhil, Bertie, Randy and Maachh discover this as soon as they enter the NDA after 16 years of a sheltered life. They soon learn that there is more to the NDA than meets the eye. Ragging, abysmally difficult training regimen and adventure apart, there is also the compromise of camaraderie, the memories of imaginary girlfriends and the lies of lust which could make grown women blush to soften their muscles and salve their wounds. In this hilarious story of life in the NDA, be prepared to serve your country, or at least laugh yourself to death in the attempt.
