Book penned by Kargil War veteran released

“A Life Unfiltered: Wedded to Sabre, Flirting with Quill” authored by Col HP Singh was released here today.

With a collection of 60 articles, the book takes readers on a captivating journey from childhood memories at a boarding school to life-defining moments in combat zones and helicopter cockpits. His stories, written over a decade and many published in leading newspapers, are rich in humour, introspection and philosophical insight.

“In the Army, discipline and routine define you. Writing, for me, became a release — a distillation of thought,” he said.

“This book isn’t just about my life. It’s about our shared experiences, our small joys, stumbles and triumphs,” the author further added.

The author is a fourth-generation soldier and an alumnus of the Lawrence School Sanawar and National Defence Academy, Khadakvasla.

A Kargil War veteran and a helicopter pilot, he has served extensively in high-conflict zones, including Siachen and Kashmir.
