I was the first one in the family to join the
Indian Army. Both my father and grandfather were in the Civil Services and
served in what was then known as the United Provincial cadre. I was a student
at the Modern School, Barakhamba Road, where I studied for 10 years from
1948-58. We had a great Principal, MN Kapur, who in early 1958 called me to his
office one morning after the assembly and said,, “Why don’t you apply for the
National Defence Academy (NDA) to join the military.”
