Just spoke to Capt Pawan's father, Ch Rajbir Singh. "आज पवन का बलिदान दिवस है। आज क��� दिन ब��टा देश को दिया थ��। हमारे लिए त्योहर जैसा दिन है। हवन किया। घर में लंगर लगा, बढ़िया हलवा भी बनाया।" He was 23. His role in ending the Pampore siege is stuff of legend. #IndiasMostFearless 2

In the midst of political winds of change in Punjab, recall having wonderful conversations with @capt_amarinder in Chandigarh. Can't comment on him as a politician (never covered politics), but full marks to him as a soldier, author & military historian.

Mother was with us for almost a month. Saw her off at the railway station a couple of days ago. Parents have a healing presence. No joy greater than living with them. Believe me it's not old-school, it's pretty cool. ❤

Just like their loss, all the glory theirs --- Major Mohit Sharma's beautiful family. 💕 Been thinking about them all day long. #Iftikhar #IndiasMostFearless

That's Sqn Ldr Minty Aggarwal, the first woman in India's military history to be awarded a Yudh Seva Medal. From Ambala, she controlled the IAF's interception package tasked to tackle intruding Pak jets on Feb 27, a day after the Balakot air strike. (TV screenshot).

Riflemen Milan Gurung & Churamani Bhusal were chasing the same dream. Like Thapa, they had cracked the ACC written exam & were preparing for the SSB interview. I called the CO a few months later to check if the boys made it. They hadn't in that attempt. I hope they did later...

That's little Jigyasa with her gutsy dad's Ashok Chakra, the IAF's first and only for ground combat. Garud commando Jyoti Prakash Nirala, the man who wouldn't sleep until he had avenged his buddies. His mind blowing story in #IndiasMostFearless 2.
