Book Details

This is a compilation of seventeen unique ‘feel good’ short stories inspired by real-life incidents that reflect the inimitable yet enchanting adventures of a young doctor newly commissioned into the medical corps of the Indian Army and posted to a remote military cantonment in the Northeast of the country four decades ago. While imparting medical aid, advice and relief to the soldiers and their families is the essence of his newfound life, his experiences and interactions while on duty make for fun and often illuminating stories. This narrative is also a testimony to the intricacies of army life and its culture, the ethos and its spirit and celebrates in full measure the honourable life lived and the camaraderie enjoyed by the men and women in uniform. Many of the tales have joyful endings, a few culminate in tears but nonetheless, they reveal the soul of those bygone days of youthful exuberance and the carefree life in olive – green. This is just the kind of book that will appeal to the discerning reader seeking a large measure of humour, cheer and optimism in these difficult times.

Life in Olive Green is not simple or easy, in so many ways. But a certain amount of discipline and compassion could make the job lovable. "Yesterday's train to nowhere" by Krishna Rau is a compilation of 17 real life inspired stories, a memoir of his olive green days in his life. The language is expressive and easy to follow. All the stories are unique and engaging. The story that I liked the most is Romeo,Juliet and the elephant. It is hilarious, fun and cute , all at the same time. PPP, I immediately fell in love with his antics and how the author pulled him out of his mess. A beautiful read you can enjoy with a hot cup of coffee on a breezy day!

This amazing collection of short stories is in the book. that depict different aspects of life in uniform. Rau has expertly incorporated fun into each of his but concentrated on the characters in his writings. Be it a cook and either a helicopter pilot or his brother-in-law who actually drops the physician off at the airport. They are all quite unique characters. Suitable for readers of all ages, including those who enjoy light reading and well-told stories. Rau communicates with his readers right away, which is something that many well-known authors struggle with. I read from cover to cover because I couldn't put it down, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I really laughed a few times. Kudos to the author ❤️✨ Rating : 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5
