Book excerpt: Fauji Heart is a captivating set of short stories, where each one has a unique flavor and yet together they build up a whole and nuanced picture of the Indian soldier. One where he is not a unidimensional stereotype of a brave-heart sworn to protect the nation, but a real, breathing, complex human being living an undoubtedly odd but fulfilling life. This collection offers a rare insight into army life that is sometimes mundane…sometimes fantastic, sometimes humourous…sometimes tragic, sometimes lonely…but always filled with adventure. ‘Civilian’ readers will enjoy this experience of engaging with the fauji world in such a real manner...beyond the tragic headlines or the usual patriotic rhetoric. Though most of the stories are set in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s they will undoubtedly resonate with old faujis and the new generation alike.
