Asha Alagappa is a 3rd generation army officer who has gone through life learning lessons from various stages of life as a daughter, sister, wife, and mother socially and as a girl child, student, lady cadet, an officer, a corporate employee, and presently as a people leader professionally, is being addressed.

Life has been fair to her in supporting her to grow into a stable, mature, and experienced woman with professional and social achievements and peace and harmony around her. She is happy to be blessed with a lovable husband, an adorable child, and some of the greatest friends of her lifetime to share her life with.

She was born into a middle-class family with limited resources and lived with limited needs and desires, not having a happy and comfortable childhood as her mother suffered from some of her psychosomatic problems after the robbery in their house when she was an 8–9-year-old child.

She was treated like a black sheep of the family; her mom wanted her to be the housemaid, and the other three siblings were happily allowed to study and enjoy life. She put her heart and soul into preparing and did everything best possible to learn and clear all the exams and courses in time to do well professionally in her career, and socially, she took being a friendly and supportive human being.

She was soon professionally and socially elevated as she finished her vaccination course, and officially engaged Capt. In her case, this turned out to be a toxic action of her life where her in-laws created a mess for her, and professional male chauvinists made her lose the spirit to fight for long after the birth of her child.

She thinks she made two wrong decisions in life, and those are: one, quitting her army career; and two, compromising with her in-laws after going through her initial years of marriage. The motherhood for her child, Animisha, for the initial 3–4 years has been the best of the best times they two spent together, almost all alone single-handedly, despite being with people around them.

She was grossly emotional and involved with her child and his needs, though they moved out to a new station, with lots of professional commitment for her husband, visiting in-laws to help them many times, and sometimes being with her parents to help too.

Time kept slipping from their hands, and they are here where they are yet to fulfill the desire to do something to feel good and achieve bigger aims in life like writing a book, earning a million, and living life king-size.

While finding solace in heart-burnings and struggles in life. However, out and succeeding with a defense career driven with passion and valor, she muddled over and found her mission and purpose in life to transform 1 million students into passionate officers in defense services and lead a life of fulfillment and compassion to serve the motherland powerfully.

She got stuck by the idea to give this life itself a shot and succeed in getting not only another 2-3 dreams fulfilled before dying peacefully. So, she is here to dedicate her life to her passion and her dream to go ahead and drive her heart out to live life king-size.

Along with her book writing and purpose, she has a mission to drive as many children as possible to choose defense as their first career and always support as many women to live an independent life without the burden of others controlling them.
