 Life In The Indian Army
#army #Indian_army #adventure #Proud #india


Welcome to my blog and thank you for this much support. So let's start. Today's blog is based on "Life In The Indian Army". Life in the armed forces isn't like any other. When you're protecting your country's borders 16,000 feet above sea level at a temperature of -50 degrees at the Siachen Glacier, it can't be just another job, right? Neither is battling an average temperature of 50 degrees in the blistering heat of Rajasthan. You're not working for yourself. You're doing it for your country and its citizens. You're ensuring that they go about their lives normally even though your life is anything but that. It's not easy to be so selfless and that's exactly what makes these ordinary men extraordinary. In the wake of the Uri Attacks and the Surgical Strike that followed, the political climate between India and Pakistan is quite tense. Even as both governments are busy taking on their counterparts on national television, we, as regular citizens, have taken social media by storm with our tweets, status messages and open letters. There's also a debate on the position of artists amidst all this. 


But while the rest of us are busy taking sides, calling out for war or praying for peace, it's the army that's busy fighting bullets at the border amidst all the ceasefire violations and growing tension. 
As Major Yadav puts it, the hardships for army men begin at the training level itself. "Our training is done under strict discipline with absolutely zero tolerance for mistakes. The schedule is tough and leaves little time for rest. Not to forget the strict punishments we get". 
During the training period, the cadets operate on little to no sleep and have a rigorous exercise routine to follow including speed marches and run with a full battle load on their backs. And these routines are practiced every day for long hours. But what makes everything worthwhile are the benefits. Every single person coming out of army training is impeccable with manners and style. They know the right way to walk, talk, dress and dine. Haven't we all always looked up to the lifestyle of the armed forces? "The bonds you forge during those training days last a lifetime" adds Major Yadav. 


The struggle for army personnel doesn't end at the training level. The real struggle begins from there. 
For instance, at the Jammu & Kashmir border, the life of an army person involves being on duty 24x7. "We work under extremely cold conditions with no proper roads and tracks for transport and little to no public support. There isn't enough drinking water and sometimes, operations require us to stay on duty for weeks on end without any rest in between" points out Major Yadav. 


Our soldiers aren't just fighting the enemies. They're also fighting natural disasters. At such high altitudes, frostbites, chilblains, loss of memory and pulmonary edemas are common problems. "We're also dealing with avalanches and crevasses along with the threat of enemy attacks at any given time". In J&K especially, allegations of human rights violations are also common. 
The problems are similar even at the borders in North-East India. "There's a serious language problem there. Anyone not belonging to those states is not familiar with the local dialect" says, Major Yadav. "Also, the army is responsible for aiding civil authorities to maintain law and order and that adds to the burden". Thanks to the topography, there are vast and thick jungles along with heavy rainfall every year. All this makes it easy to have gaps and also provides an easy pass to Myanmar. The Army also battles with poisonous insects, leeches, and reptiles regularly. Life in the armed forces isn't easy. It's a new challenge every day. And the challenge isn't just from the enemy but from nature too. You're far away from your loved ones, fighting for life every single day. But it's the spirit of these men and their undying love for India, that keeps them going. 
Captain Manoj Kumar Pandey, PVC 1/11, Gorkha Rifles once said, “If death strikes, before I prove my blood, I swear I'll kill death." 


As Major Yadav puts it, "Army men know the level of expectations from them. And the only way to live up to those expectations is training and training hard. It's almost like being superhumans. Those who are physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually tough, manage to survive all odds. And these are the ones who become a part of the Army". 
It's this indomitable spirit that's worth a thousand salutes.

The curriculum of our current education system

                                        The curriculum of our current education system Today's blog is based on " The curriculum of our current education system ". I wholeheartedly agree that the tight curriculum of our current education system leaves no room for imagination and creativity. The academic pressure is so much on them, they have forgotten their innate creativity and imagination. They are always under the pressure of studies. This pressure is put on them from the beginning of the session. Formative assessment activities of all the subjects, studies and their assignments of all the subjects, unit tests, co-curricular activities, homework, classwork, projects, practical exams, summative examination, date sheet, result, again the new term, etc. So much of pressure on the young growing children! Are we educating them or training them in the art of being stressful throughou...

दुनिया के अजीब रंग

 दुनिया के अजीब रंग  दुनिया कितनी बदल गई है इस बात से तो सभी परिचित है लेकिन समझना नहीं चाहता कोई।  इंसान का व्यवहार तौर तरीका सबमे बदलाव आगया।  पहले का वक़्त देखा जाये तो इंसान खुश रहते थे लेकिन आज सभी एक न खत्म होने वाली एक अनंत दौड़ का हिस्सा मात्र बन कर रह गए है।  तरक्की करना अच्छी बात है लेकिन ऐसी तरक्की किस काम की जो इंसान के अंदर से इंसानियत खत्म कर दे।   पहले नौकरी एक जीवन जीने के लिए महत्वपूर्ण थी लेकिन आज तो कुछ और ही देखने को मिलता है।  इंसान के पास अपनों के साथ वक़्त बिताने तक के लिए वक़्त नहीं है क्यों ? फिर अपने अंतिम समय में उसी इंसान को सब याद आता है की अरे अपने मित्र बंधुवो से तो मिल ही नहीं पाए पूरा जीवन मशीन की तरह काम करने में निकाल दिया और खुद का जीवन जीना ही भूल गए।  दुनिया बड़ी अजीब है एक छोटा सा जीवन मिलता है और उसमे भी हमारा हक़ नहीं होता।   अब लोग आपस में ही प्रतिद्वंदी की भाति व्यवहार करते है और अंतिम छड़ तक उन्हें नहीं पता होता है की प्रतिद्वंदिता थी तो किस चीज की थी।  आज का युग अर्थप्रधान युग है आज के समय ...
