Since Jan 2007, I have been working on a coffee table book, which was commissioned by the Indian Army Chief, Gen JJ Singh. I was delighted to accept the offer. I got to travel places and met old army colleagues and friends, who were not traceable after the passing out parade from Officers Training Academy, Chenni, Aug 1984. I enjoyed rigorous shooting sessions, it was like working on a special forces mission. I had opportunities to visit Rashtrapati Bhawan (President House) for numerous photo sessions with soldiers. One day, I selected these two soldiers, dressed in their ceremonial dress, who are stick orderlies of the Army Chief, for portrait session. In the image, left side is Johny of Maratha Light Infantry and on the right Naik Yogendra Kumar of the Guards. The book INDIAN ARMY - An Illustrated Overview, is scheduled to be released by the Defence Minister of India on the 26th Sep 2007 at New Delhi.
