There's a wealth of detail about his family, the army tradition (JJ is a third generation soldier), days in the NDA/IMA and the highlights of his army career. Interesting in parts, tedious elsewhere. The meat lies in the chapter...

It is sometimes sad to know that readers (most of them) only remember Ismat Chughtai for 'Lihaaf' or 'The Quilt'. She has written a lot more and the 'more' is even more interesting than 'Lihaaf'.
