His previous writings had either been privately printed issued as offprints or included in collaborative books. At the time Kipling was serving as sub-editor of the Civil and Military Gazette an English-language newspaper based in Lahore that covered the lives of the Civil Service and the Indian Army in Punjab. His position combined with his family's social standing afforded him numerous opportunities to observe and explore the full spectrum of life in India. From an early age Kipling had been captivated by the vibrant and diverse world of native India and his keen observational skills allowed him to vividly capture its essence. As his engagement with journalism deepened he frequently filled the newspaper's pages with prose sketches and light verse. Eventually he began inserting his own poems under the title Departmental Ditties into the newspaper culminating in the publication of this edition designed to resemble a bundle of civil service memoranda.
