Description
A Brilliantly written novel about pranks, parades and love set in the National Defence Academy.
After leading a sheltered life for sixteen years, Pessi, Bertie, Randy and Maachh are thrust into the world of National Defence Academy. Soon they realize that life here is not just about spit and polish but six terms of adventure and achievement. It is about soaring ambition and tough challenges, a punishing regimen and endless puttie parades.
However, rugged training and severe ragging cannot keep their spirits down for long. Weaving yarns about imaginary girlfriends, bragging about their escapades and sexual exploits, thet turn from greenhorns to tough soldiers. United by their experience, these comrades-in-arms form a bond for life.
Tanushree Poddar, in this tongue-in-cheek saga of youth, camaraderie and 'growing up', skillfully reconstructs life at NDA - where boys become men of honor.
