Birth of an officer

by Sir Hautemonde

I, Sir Haute Monde, Officer extraodinaire, was born to a family of officers (as is the case with close to 30% of officers, according to a study) in a Hindu, upper caste family . From that moment on, I knew I was destined for greatness. I did not quite understand how nor did I understand why, but somehow things fell in to place. And before you know it, Mr. Haute Monde soon became Officer Haute Monde.

They say I came out of my mother’s womb, dressed in a way only an officer baby could be dressed.

I therefore welcome every one of you to be a part of my journey as I go from dashing baby to legendary officer.
