Former Defence Minister was desperate to alleviate stress.

A brand-new book on previous Defence Minister and Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar exposes simply what went on, on the eve of the surgical strikes against Pakistan (announced on September 29, 2016) after the Uri attack that eliminated 18 Indian soldiers and left more than 30 injured.

The bio of Parrikar, An Extraordinary Life(Penguin Random Home) by Sadguru Patil and Mayabhushan Nagvenkar, describes in excellent information the occasions of the evening the surgical strikes were expected to take place.
