1/ Meet POLLY (name changed) This pic is of 2012 when he was three years old. The second picture was taken yesterday. In 2012, I asked Polly ‘Polly bada hokar kya banega?(what do you want to become when you grow up?) He replied ENGINEER. What? #SAVITA #VoICE #Polly ImageImage
2/ He was in Play Group. I was dumbfounded. I asked him what is an ‘engineer’? He said he doesn’t know. Why do you want to become an engineer? He pointed at my son, then 17 yrs, and said ‘because Dada wants to be an engineer”! He had heard the word from my son. I again posed my… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3/ His reply bound me to him forever. He said, “I will buy a car and take my mummy everywhere”. My wife, son, and Polly’s mother were there, I took him in an a brace and said, ‘Uncle will make you an engineer’. Rest is story. His Playgroup, LKG, UKG, Class 1 to 3 were taken on
4/ by my wife Savita. 3 Unit tests, a half yearly and final of each class, Polly scored 95% plus till Class 3. My wife passed away in 2017. My son took on Class 4&5. 95% plus in each unit test and finals. My son left in 2018 and I took on. Class 6,7,8&9 95% plus.
5/ Yesterday he entered Class 10. He was put in Football Training as a kid of Class V at Siri Fort and in the second year was picked by football coach of Delhi Football Association as emerging talent. One day before CoVID lockdown he was given internet and laptop at home.
6/ He enrolled in online coding classes and started writing basic programs. Post CoVID he was presented a guitar and my sons friend taught him how to play. He started making small educational videos and opened his YouTube Channel where solving maths problems and coding was taught
7/ We had just one aim. Anything my son had done had to be done by Polly. Till date we haven’t missed anything. Another three years for school to finish and four for engineering! He goes abroad for studies following my son! These are dreams that are slowly turning into reality!
8/ There is a good human being residing inside us. We just need to wake hun/her up. Will write more about Polly as life goes by!
9/ @Nachiket146 played with Polly since Polly started walking in 2010. They fought like siblings. They fight even today😁. @shubhankarchau7 became his guide, mentor and brother in 2018. Polly treats him as if they are of same age. Between @Nachiket146 and @shubhankarchau7 Polly… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

1/ #VoICE #SelfPublishing #UnderTheSun I don’t like the tone and tenor of the tweets on recent ‘piracy’ incident by the author of a book written by a veteran. Social Media has been used in a very filthy way and hundreds of veterans with zero understanding of publishing have been
2/ so eloquent in criticising the act, naming and shaming the suspect and painting the author as ‘peedit’ ‘victim’. No Sir. We need to understand publishing field. My book, ‘Under The Sun’ was published on 27 Sep 2022. It is on Amazon and Kindle. I started writing my
3/ ‘self publishing’ journey from Feb 2022 in form of tweets and threads. You will find at least 20 threads that give graphic details of each step of publishing. I shared it real time. I added numerous novel features like printing buyers name on ‘personalised’ copies. Everything

1/ PART-2 First read Tweet 4 to 7 below. How transparent #SAVITA is you will know. My friends parents wanted to help a forces widow. Yesterday in flat three hours the contribution was made. I don’t touch cash. The Benefactor transfers money directly to Beneficiary.
2/ See how it is done. My friend was given bank account details of the widow of an Infantry deceased soldiers widow. He was in SIKH LIGHT INFANTRY. Step 1- Rs 270,00 was transferred as a test transaction. Screen shot was sent to me which I sent to the widow. Image
3/ Step-2 The widow sent me screenshot of receipt of Rs 270.00 which I sent to my friend. Image

1/ #CounterInsurgencyIndustry #VoICE #CentralFunds See a random news attached. 15 years and Rs 1.14 LAC CRORE. That is SEVENTY SIX THOUSAND LAC CRORES each year. I first went to Valley in 1991. Insurgency had just started. It was in 90’s that Kupwara Division was raised. Four
2/ Counter Insurgency Forces were raised and we had over 50-60 Rashtriya Rifles battalions raised. CRPF and BSF were seen sometimes. All were paid out of their respective budgets. J&K Police was unseen and unheard of. Where did all the money go? Interested to find, RT this tweet.
3/ How many of you have crossed Banihal Pass to visit valley? Or visited valley by air? I have seen entire valley from Banihal-Quazigund-Srinagar-Kupwara further to Tangdhar/Pharkiyan/Macchal, Baramulla, Uri, Sonamarg etc. 1991 to 2006 - I searched for 76,000 LAC CRORES (each Yr)

1/ #TellMeColPande I am writing since last seven years that keeping Kashmir Insurgency ALIVE is the combined effort of everyone connected to it. Terrorists, Informers, Over Ground Workers, Politicians, State and Central Govt employees, Bureaucracy, Intelligence and Military.
2/ None wanted it to finish and hence each kept it alive. Remember I wrote the same day it was announced that abrogation of Article 370 has BROKEN THE BACK OF #CounterInsurgencyIndustry Here we are today!!!! Army had no business to be in Kashmir Insurgency since turn of century.
3/ Bureaucrats created a ‘Revenue Heaven’, everything had a cost. Even their being “posted” to Insurgency area cost Government a bomb. Bureaucrats wrote policies, they decided own allowances, added perks, they added massive costs for their ‘responsibility’ to finish insurgency.

1/ Start a journey with me tomorrow, 01 Dec to 03 December 2022 when I travel for three days going from a village to another in Himachal Pradesh to meet my unit soldiers who have long retired. This is brotherhood, camaraderie and love. This is my HUMBLE bow to my men. #VoICE
2/ I will, on 01 December leave Delhi at 5am, meet 5-6 veterans in Kurali (near Ropar), 2-3 veterans in Ropar and then climb hills and via Bilaspur go towards Mandi and attend a function of one of my old colleague at Ner Chowk where I will meet 10-15 veterans of my unit #VoICE
3/ Follow me, follow the journey and meet my men. They may be old but their spirit is never-sat-die. Numerous appear in my book ‘Under The Sun’ released in 27 Sep 2022. I will take pictures with them and recall the story. All those who have the book will relate, and those who
