New postings
My dad’s Army postings moved us to a new state every year or two. I went to school in Amritsar, Tezpur and Kakinada.
Back to Bihar
The summer holidays were different. Every year we went back to my grandparents’ home in Bihar, where my family is from.
The farm
I picked mangoes and lychees straight off the trees on my dad’s and my granddad’s farm. It was the simple life, close to nature.
