The woman behind a warrior  the most unrecognised and unappreciated part of the fighting forces family (unless receiving a posthumous medal on behalf of her brave husband)

A Special Ops operative albeit without the Uniform or Medals.

She is trained in

Survival Skills (Making a home out off nothing at all)

Medical Skills (Bruises,Stitches, Appendices, Fractures all routine)

Any tribute one pays to these silent warriors and home makers is little.

I am proud to have had a Fauji mother..one who faced all odds with a smile.



Laughter The Only Medicine!

In memory of my Mum, my oldest girlfriend. Miss you dearly!

If God wanted to appoint a brand ambassador for laughter in this world, it would have been my mother, no doubt.

From the time I remember my mother would laugh and try to make others laugh with her irrespective of the situation.

There are few who knew her and do not remember her laughter.

I do not know when she attained this nirvana and how she would be able to hide the darkest of moments behind this laughter.


The roar of her laughter was no less than that of a powerful engine driving all around her.

What a wonderful way you have left for me to keep remembering you Ma, am sure wherever you are there's lots of  Laughter and a lot of warmth of your love.
