IMA's Passing Out Parade

Sorry folks! Had been off on a road trip. Had attended Indian Military Academy (IMA) Dehradun's Passing Out Parade on June 9 and have been driving virtually incessantly for the past five days.

It was a memorable experience. The "josh" is almost contagious as young boys get their hard earned stars on the shoulders. I was so upbeat about watching the cap tossing ceremony. But the previous Indian Army chief  General VK Singh has done away with the practice as it was disrespecting the uniform.

 Here are some of the pics
