Ablaze in a Blizzard

The Command Report. In Services life upto the rank of Major it is time scale(now upto colonel). The first selection is for Lt col and it comes after about 20 years of service. The worst part of this is, it is simply based on confidential reports. The confidential report is simply the wims and fancies of the reporting officer. So an officer who is due for promation will certainly go out of the way to please the reporting officer and get good report. At this juncture Ganesan came to serve under an unknown officer. But he came fully loaded with knowledge and experience of service in Training Battalion and college of military engineering. He had no doubt that he was far superior to all those officers in the Regiment at that time. So with out any due caution he took charge as company commander and started his activities. Sports, Training, Entertainment, Welfare and Family care, in every field he had set new dimention which was not heard in the past.

There was inter company football championship. Ganesan was playing centre forward for his company. The first match was with last year champions. Everyone thought the champions will certaily take lead. Ganesan was in midfield terrorising the opponents and driving his team. They scored the first goal and people thought it was a fluke. They scored the second goal and people started looking up. Third, fourth, fifth, the crowed was wonder struck. Finally Ganesans team won 8-0 and sent a strong message that he has arrived to the entire Regiment. More to follow.....
