The correction he made while the saavdhan command says a lot about the integrity of the young man.
This adorable young man is very much alert and knows what he does.
That’s not everyone’s cup of tea for sure.

An attitude at that altitude comes from within as they get to see d army movement & its officers regularly. Life to them is tough due to climate, political & economic reasons but I have found d mountain people to be more hospitable, warm, & generous. Three cheers to d little boy!
