(The paternal objection was ironic – father was in Indian Army in WWI, and two uncles in WWII)
Working in an industrial organization, he wrote a humourous play for his company’s social club which garnered some acclaim, and then won a State award for a paper on Industrial Relations in Industry. He gained some flying experience in gliders to satisfy his love of flying. He also gained a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. (Used to counsel Indian Army friends traumatized in 1962 Sino-Indian War and 1965 Indo-Pak War)
Migrating to Australia in 1973, was soon involved in writing rebuttals of anti-Indian bias in local defence magazines such as the Pacific Defence Reporter, and international news magazines like Asiaweek and Far Eastern Economic Review and others, most of which were published.
He was a prominent member of many professional and social clubs and associations. Currently a member of the Old Boys’ Association of Bishop Cotton Boy’s School Bangalore, and a permanent guest of the IAF Retirees Group in Sydney Australia. Retained friendships with many classmates and friends in Indian military, including two retired Vice Chiefs of Air Staff IAF.
A keen reader and collector of books, with an interest in humour, aviation and Indian military history
His first book, written after retirement in 2008 as a Forensic Accountant, was titled “Himalayan Eagle – The Story of the Indian Air Force” which was published in India in January 2018.
The research for that book led to the writing of a follow-on about the warrior spirit of India. “Ashoka’s Lions – The Warrior Spirit of India” is the result.
He is married, with two children and five grandchildren and currently resides in Sydney, Australia.показать меньше
