My name is Geetika Lidder. I am from from an army family-fourth generation in the army. Most people now know my name after my husbands unfortunate passing away.

My father, grandfather, everybody was in the army. I've done my schooling all over the country.I've done my college, my computer hardware graduation and my MBA from Pune.And then I've been working with the Indian Express.The ITC Hotels. Since mine was a love marriage, I married very young at age of 22, and luckily he was posted in some areas where I could continue with a corporate job.
And than my daughter came. She was born to us after eight years of marriage. I worked with buisness Schools. Schools of of Communication, many companies since 1996. In 2013, I found myself walking into the SriRam school.And that was the first time I thought I-should downsize what I do from postgrads and MBA students to primary school students.And I just loved it.I mean, I just loved the feel of the Sriram school and I loved the feel of being a primary teacher.I just thought it was my time to make a difference in the society. It was may be my payback time.

My husband had this fabulous job anyway, he's had very beautiful postings. So we actually led a very lovely life.The best of everything we could have thought of, God gave us. So it was like a charmed existence with him. When he got a diplomatic foreign assignment as the defense attached to Kazakhstan, I had to quit the job. .And then we relocated as a family for four years.And there I taught in the American school. When we came back to India, I came back to Sriram school and I've been there ever since. And just as this happened, my he lost his life in the chopper crash with General Rawat. Just a weekbefore that because he was going on promotion as a General and I thought now I must be with him.
