He has written many articles related with his past life incidents related with adventure, suspense, humour, thrill and self development both in and out of uniform.
He initially got inspired to write from his brother, who is a voracious reader and loves to write and travel all over in and out of country. The internet sites like facebook has helped the author locate his old school time friends who have served as source of inspiration and motivation to him to put such incidents in writing.
The number of incidents of Udhampur had accumulated so much that it forced him to think of putting them in a book form so that every dear classmate of his gets an opportunity to read it at least once apart from the general public later on which would serve as a talking album of his transition from childhood to teenage days.
The opportunity of being posted to various places in India both during his service and while he was with his parents who also hail from a defence background has helped him a lot in understanding the varied culture from place to place providing adequate exposure with people and places all over the nation.
