‘Mrs Shalini was an epitome of grace, charisma and boundless empathy - an effervescent persona who illuminated every life she touched. Her story, recounted by her family and friends, by way of this book, is far more than a mere chronicle of her beautiful life; it’s a treasure trove of humbling lessons - an inspiring reminder of her resilience, sacrifices and ‘never say die attitude’ that will instantly connect with all its readers’ Gen Anil Chauhan PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, SM, VSM (Chief of Defence Staff) ‘This book, while undoubtedly a befitting tribute to a beautiful soul, is also unique in the way it so effortlessly brings out so many varied facets of life in the Indian Army. I would recommend it not merely for the inspiring life that Shalini lived, but also for how a typical Indian Army family goes about their lives’ Gen Upendra Dwivedi, PVSM, AVSM (Chief of Army Staff) ‘Shalini - A Life Extraordinaire is one of those rare gems that come our way once in a blue moon, as indeed Mrs Shalini Singh herself was. Having seen her and my coursemate AK soldier on despite her medical conditions, I can only bow my head in respect and admiration. Tribute to a soulmate cannot get better than this one rendered by General Ajai Kumar Singh’ Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, PVSM, AVSM (Chief of Air Staff)
