Barely four days old in my first Army unit, as a newly commissioned Indian Army officer; I was instructed to announce the ‘Tambola’ as the entertainment officer had fallen sick. Not knowing ABC of the game and with no questions to be asked being the junior most , I took to announcing the digits. All was going well till I announced NINE ONE - ninety one. Not understanding the chaos that got created, I continued and finally ended the game. I rushed to my Commandant anticipating a pat on my back for doing the assigned task so well. He barked, “GRRRR..... there are only 90 digits in Tambola, you announced 16 as 91”
