Tune in on 15th September to hear the story coming from North East of India by Major General Ajay Singh Chauhan

Eyes filled with a thousand stars, a heart thumping with patriotism and a head, heady with a concoction of bravery, courage, and Josh, a young lad embarks on a journey of becoming a soldier. His life then takes him through the burning deserts, thick humid jungles, treacherous mountains, hazardous glaciers, the blue seas, and the vast skies.

The trenches, the bunkers, the ships, and the planes become his home, home away from home… his companions are his memories of the loved ones far far away... He endures all,  with a smile, for it is the “Call of Duty”!

and he made the choice to be a soldier, he chose what he loved the most…

and the young lad becomes a man, a soldier!
