In this inspiring episode of The Good Vibes Show, host Vivek Atray is in conversation with Dinesh Kumar Kapila, Chief General Manager (Retd.), NABARD, mentor, and author.
The conversation begins with a nostalgic recollection of how the two first met on the occasion of Hindi Diwas during their service years. From there, the discussion moves to Kapila’s illustrious father, Major General Rajinder Nath, PVSM, a decorated warrior and a remarkable author. Vivek asks whether his father ever tempted him to join the armed forces, leading to reflections on discipline, values, and life choices.
Kapila then shares the fascinating journey of his father’s celebrated book, Military Leadership in India—a work that spans from the Vedic period to the Indo-Pak war. Despite limited access to research tools, Major General Rajinder Nath meticulously wrote the manuscript by hand, typed it out, revised it, and eventually got it published—driven by the belief that Indian perspectives must be represented alongside foreign authors.
The discussion touches upon the work ethic of earlier generations, the blend of firmness and compassion as guiding values, and memorable life lessons passed down from father to son.
The episode concludes with Dinesh Kumar Kapila’s reflections on his life and outlook, leaving listeners enriched with timeless wisdom and inspiration.
