She noted that the fauji kids bid goodbyes more often in their first few years than an average person does in a lifetime.
“Fauji kids are truly impressive. They live all the challenges of military life, but they never signed up for it. They move houses, they change schools, and they adapt to constantly-changing neighbourhoods. Frequent moves are a way of life for the fauji child. It is never easy to say goodbye to friends and familiar routines, to begin again in a new school, a new neighbourhood - and sometimes a new country!” Handa wrote.
