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!
A comforting read
This book felt like a mug of hot chocolate on a cold winter evening. I loved the way the author has recounted every stage of her life in a very tasteful manner. Part one and part two of the book were my favourite.
I love how Mrs. Alamelu has very artistically recounted about military life in part one of the book. My favourite in part one would definitely be “The war within; without”.
The second part of the book mostly is about various episodes in one’s life. My favourites were “The deception”, “The care taker”, “Lost and “Found”.
Being a new mom I really enjoyed reading “The seven stages of parenting” and “The grass greener”.
This book is a must read for every logophile!
Lovely collection
It was interesting to read about the lives of soldiers and their families, and the untold heroism of lonely wives holding the fort. The lost and found rings, the trials of care giving, the frailty of life, nature's caring and giving, monkeys, cats, crows -- a variety of subjects have been described with flair and feeling. Kudos to the author!

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.
