Local to Global
Siddhartha spent most of his childhood years in Guwahati. ‘My mother (Biva Chowdhary) raised me along with my two sisters after the untimely death of my father. I grew up with limited access to resources and graduated from Don Bosco, Cotton College, and IIT-Kharagpur.’ His first job was in Kolkata, it was around this time that he felt that the business environment in India was strife with bureaucracy.

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
