May be after having a look at the title name many of you have got the idea of the topic of the book.
Yes! This book is about army life, about soldiers, our ESCORTS. And this term is used when all the cadets have their lunch or dinner in the mess and the PMC (president mess committee) used to say this "gentleman bismillah" to start that lunch or dinner.
This book is a brief description of all the incidents and events that col. Ashfaq hussain has faced during joining of arm forces, starting from his application procedure to preliminary interviews including ISSB and then training at PMA. People have many delusions about army tests and interviews, like many people give this kind of lame excuses of their rejection:
"Interview k liye main enter hua or ja k chair py beth gya. chair tooti hui thi m gir gya. unhon ny mjhy reject kr diya kiun k meri observation weak thi." and so many others of this kind. so he has explained all these kinds of incidents in such an intetesting manner that a reader enjoy each and every word written by him. These incidents are full of life including senior's ragging to series of punishments that junior cadets have to bear during all their training. This book unfolds the struggles of PMA staff and cadets that how PMA creates iron men, who serve as escorts on the borders, providing safety to the people of pakistan.
It also contains many heart warming excerpts and lines.
Army lifestyle has always inspired me. That's why i have yearned for many years to be a part of the army, but unfortunately I couldn't.
