"Slain you will gain heaven; victorious you will enjoy the earth" - Bhagavad-Gita Chapter 2 Verse 37.There is a lot more to life in the army than just starched uniforms, twirling whiskers, smart salutes and prompt obedience. Be it the sheer overwhelming adrenaline rush as you stand in the frontlines defending your nation, or in the bonhomie you share with your fellow men. In brief, you have a blast when you are alive and die in a blaze of glory when your day of reckoning comes.For Colonel Vijaykant, the voyage as an army man was a smorgasbord of emotions: ranging from honour and pride to commitment and dedication. In this memoir, he chronicles his myriad encounters and experiences, and makes it a point to paint poignant portraits of colleagues and fellow army men, leaving the reader with a sense of inspired devotion to want to do something for their nation.
