Personal Touch
This is a wonderfully personal narrative of the highlight moments, big and small, from the author's life. Her memories of hiding in a bunker during war, and cherishing her Father's many medals for his bravery are sensitive and deeply genuine.
An emblematic tribute to a soldier
Mrs. Lakshminarayan’s narrative poesy is a collectors item. Simple, yet nostalgic and thoughtful. Being a narrative biography, the aesthetic language used was the principle feature which kept me hooked. This book sublimely portrays the infamous phrase “ Every individual who is struggling to fulfilling his/her responsibilities is a true warrior in all walks of life.” In a nutshell it is an insightful read to recline with a cup of hot tea.
My father's Medals & other Stories
Book-Review
Ms. Alamelu's portrayals of an army man’s life, household and uncertainties of life, are picturesque enough in ‘A Soldier’s Life’.
‘The War within: without’, shows the fatality of war and the frailties of life- the same folly repeated without any gain to fulfill the ambition of a few!
‘The unforgettable Winter of 1971’, brings back vividly the memories close to Anne Frank’s Diary that describes how the Jews in Germany hid in attics and bunkers to escape from the Nazi onslaughts of World War II!
The father's Medals, marshals nostalgic memories of army life. Holding her father's medals over her own achievements makes one partake in the celebrations of army life of many like her!
On the whole, a big success for the author, even on her debue and a must read for all!

In this riveting biography of Major Sir, Ms. Alamelu has skillfully intertwined the rugged realities of a soldier's existence with the sweetness of a father-daughter connection, creating a narrative that is both captivating and profound. Like Osho's Baghavad Gita, which I returned to multiple times, this book has been a repeat read for me, yielding new treasures with each turn of the page. Ms. Alamelu's writing is a true masterpiece, and I eagerly anticipate her next work, perhaps a tribute to her mother, Ms. Kalyani Rajan, whose influence has been a constant source of inspiration and strength. Thank you.
