You call it Army, Some call it life. I call it more than a life!! When we see a young, charismatic guy in an OLIVE GREEN uniform, involuntarily our right hand opposing the gravity goes up to salute the hero. We also tend to stand up as a gesture of respect. Just imagine yourself too in that uniform, a part of an organization which promises integrity and dignity. I am getting goosebumps. Don’t you??
The only way of getting into that OLIVE GREEN uniform is to get selected for INDIAN ARMY.
Now, someone will ask why will a person join Army, if there are other lucrative jobs out there?
I’ll answer the question in points:
- Don’t confuse ARMY with a job. It is just not a job rather it’s a voluntary service to the nation. It gives you a sense of pride, a reason for existence, moreover an answer for life.
- If you are an adventurous person, it will give you a life filled with adventure. You’ll get a chance to stay on the remote places, visit Indian deserts, the mountain peaks, scuba diving, sky jumping and what not. You’ll actually have a chance to touch and get the feeling of the places and activities which are a part of your sweet dream.
- It is too hard to get respect in today’s world. The uniform and the stars on it will give you the respect and statuses, hence making you stand away from the crowd.
- Handsome salary will be given to you for your service to the nation which will ensure that you could live a lavishing life. After retirement also, you will have enough money to sustain your family and innumerable ventures will be open for you if someone wants to try hand in some other services. You will be getting rebates in travelling (trains, buses and aircrafts) and a loan whose interest will be half of the normal interest rate.
- In today’s unsocial world, you will get a chance to meet variety of people which will eventually help in building up your personality. You will get a chance to visit almost every area of our country.
- You will live with your brothers during the service. You will make the best of friends whom you don’t need to call in case of need. You just think about them, they will come for you in no time.
- Last but not the least, you will have tremendous confidence, courage and will power which will help you lead a life full of fearlessness. You will get all those personality traits which a person desires.
These are just glimpses of what you will get in the INDIAN ARMY section of the armed forces.
Just imagine the pride in the eyes of your parents when they will see you as an officer. It is entirely a different feeling to lead a life not for yourself, but others. So, ladies and gentlemen it is time to pull your socks up and just try for the maximum. Repeaters like me just give it another shot as someone said – ‘Acche din der ke baad aae toh khushiyaa dabal hojaati hai’ and the bravo Capt. Vikram Batra has rightly said – ‘YEH DIL MAANGE MORE’ Fresher’s – golden chance for you, but be determined !!
Jai Hind!!
