| Summary/Abstract |
When the chief of army staff, General Bikram Singh assumed office in May last year amidst uncertainty and rising allegations of financial, disciplinary and moral impropriety within the service, he gave the call for 'Back to Basics'. Taking a cue from the chief, the Army Training Command (ARTRAC) has adopted this as its theme for the annual 2013-2014 journal, a tacit acknowledgement that the army has lost its moorings. Surely there are officers who understand that all is not well with the service and the drift, if not corrected, will have serious consequences.

| Summary/Abstract |
Describing his first meeting with Hanut in July 1956, Lieutenant General Ajai Singh who later became a governor, has written in the book, Fakhr-e-Hind: The Story of the Poona Horse:
It was after two to three days of my stay in the Regiment that I met him. I was sitting in the C Squadron office after the Maintenance Parade when a tall, thin, smartly turned out officer entered the office. What struck me most about him was his prominent hooked nose and the very proud and penetrating look in his eyes. He walked to me and met with such enthusiasm, warmth and affection that I felt as though we had known each other for ages… Thereafter, without further ado, he took me to the Squadron and introduced me to all members of his troop, which I was to take over. Having done this at the garages itself, he gave me a programme for my training which I was to commence from the next day; he also gave me a large bundle of books and précis which I was to read in my own time. I went through all this businesslike activity in a state of total shock because, till then, such a serious approach to professional matters had neither been seen nor heard during the few days I had spent in the Regiment.
