Regular life is a thing of the past for Pia. She is now a military spouse. From "simply Pia" to an aunty, a memsaab, and finally, Mrs. Pia Arjun Mehra, her favourite words in the entire world. Pia finds herself having to deal with lengthy (unexpected) periods of absence from her spouse as well as having to focus on themed ladies' meets, high teas, and welfare functions. She encounters amazing difficulties, a little grief, and, well, lessons from army life. Pia discovers that wearing high heels is acceptable as long as you avoid tripping over combat boots in the strange and opulent world of army wives. She discovers that the word "civil" can also be a noun, that the terms "JCO" and "GOC" are (quite) dissimilar, and that foods are 'shown' and 'WTF' is better explained as Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Yes, it really is a new world. This quirky, hilarious story of the first year of Pia's life as an army wife will show you that the spice to a soldier's life is most definitely his better, very strong, extremely elegant, never-cussing, witty, warm and passionate half-his army wife.
