Colonel Sharma , now a manager in Hotel was an officer in the Army who left prior to retirement. The reason being dissatisfaction with career prospects. At 26, he won the Shaurya Chakra, the third highest peacetime gallantry medal, for capturing Mizo National Front guerrillas after a two-day stand-off.
The Colonel on his medals
“They remind me of a past which is best forgotten. Meaningless bits of
metal which I once proudly wore on my chest ribbon”
He even wants to return the medals to his unit.
