For Jyoti Mamgain, these famous words uttered by Amitabh Bachchan in Mohabbatein, defining the ethos of an all-boys' school, seemed like these were penned to describe the world she had entered into, the Indian Army, by virtue of her marriage to an army man. In these delightful vignettes, the author introduces us to little-known aspects of life behind the cantonment walls. It's a world that flummoxes her with cryptic messages like 'sab Tik Tok hai' and 'guarding the igloo' (in the searing heat of the Indian plains).

If you've experienced trauma, your nervous system may be stuck in "fight-or-flight" mode—leading to symptoms such as hypervigilance, extreme anxiety, and distrust of others.

This compassionate guide offers a breakthrough approach to bring your mind and body back into balance.
