Terrible sandstorms in Rajasthan, the violent downpour in Punjab, the
densely-wooded hills of Sikkim, the bamboo groves of Arunachal…
amidst all these a sensitive soul is trapped in an unrequited love story.
Squabbling with petty seniors and blood-sucking leeches, the soldier
survives every ordeal because of his deep appreciation of nature and its
bounties. His efforts to accomplish his dreams against all odds are
threatened by the fear of being branded a Charlie, a redundant soldier.
A peek into the Indian Army whose glory camouflages dust, grime,
blood, sweat and tears.
A novel about some of the excesses, like injustice, manipulations, cover-
ups and chauvinism, involved in the Army. - The Indian Express
An expose in fiction about the hushed-up activities in the Indian Army -
Eenadu TV
A daring attempt; questions the morality of the Indian Army -.Sahara
Samay TV
The language is refined. And there is a thread of sadness and pathos in
some of the incidents.- Sharada Prahladrao, Deccan Herald
The narration of vignettes that make for life in the armed forces makes
the book good and even absorbing reading. - The Free Press Journal
