Roots of Moondust

When Struggle Wears a Different Hat, Look at it in the Eye!

Each one of us are fighting our own challenges in our day-to-day lives, aren’t we? But there are some amongst us who brush their shoulders with real-time war, like the Ex-Captain V.H.Makaikar from the Indian Army.

The veteran nurtured narrative values, like that of courage, perseverance, and self-help. They were key assets for him to achieve his personal and professional goals. The veteran held his values and beliefs close to his chest just the way the Moon held Moondust.  He was one such person who never sang his own praises inspite of his towering personality.   Hence, his daughter ventured out to sing his unsung song for the readers, while she canvassed his biography in print.
