In A First, BSF To Replace Its Routine PT With Yoga Asanas

0
BSF Yoga

In a bid to promote PM Modi’s yoga campaign, the Border Security Force (BSF) has decided to replace its routine 45-minute daily physical training (PT) drills with yoga at all its units.

The decision was taken by BSF Director General KK Sharma after 1,900 personnel of BSF recently completed yoga training under the charge of Yoga guru Ramdev.BSF Yoga

So, instead of 45 minutes PT capsule, jawans will now undergo yoga asanas. It’s a healthy ancient art which has immense mental and physical benefits. It’s a scientific method which enhances immunity, brings in flexibility and prepares the practitioner for tougher tasks. It’s the best alternative for PT and will make jawans much stronger.

A committee of senior officers of the force has been constituted that will suggest if, apart from yoga, any other physical exercises are required to be included in the daily regime of the 2.5 lakh personnel-strong force.

The paramilitary force has decided to “intensify” yoga training of its troops and the aim is to have at least one trainer in this discipline in each platoon-level formation comprising about 35 personnel.

BSF DG Sharma had offered a cheque for Rs 11 lakh to Patanjali Yogpeeth as part of yoga training expenses of 2,000 jawans, but Ramdev refused to accept it.

He further added 10 lakh to it and donated Rs 21 lakh for the BSF Welfare Fund.

BSF guards India’s two important borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh since 1965 apart from conducting anti-Naxal operations in the Left Wing Extremism hit states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha.

9 Tips To Prepare For The Upcoming AFCAT Exam

0
afcat exam tips

The entrance exam for entry into the Indian Air Force, AFCAT is just a month away. And you need to get back to cramming and learning everything to crack the exam. Unfortunately, that’s how it works and fortunately, the key to this is being consistent and regular even for any given schedule.

Here are the 9 tips to manage your time accordingly and to prepare for the upcoming AFCAT exam:

  1. Start your day with exercise as it increases blood flow to the body and brain. Combine this with a nutritious meal at the start of your day, and your mind is prepped for success.
  2. Give 10 minutes of your day to plan your day, every day. This can be done early in the morning or a night before.
  3. On average, a human can fully concentrate for 15-25 minutes. Take advantage of this and your need to get your blood flowing & body moving, by doing some form of movement/exercise every 25 minutes. Get up between breaks, walk around, grab a glass of water, do anything but studying while on break.
  4. Designate a specific place for studying. This will train your brain to kick into study-mode. If you go to the same library or computer lab when you need to be productive, your mind will eventually get the idea and adjust every time you visit those places.
  5. Stay hydrated, eat well, exercise and practice meditation. These are all activities which will improve neuroplasticity in your brain.
  6. HAVE NAPS! Naps are not only the most enjoyable thing to do at 3 in the afternoon, but they help you consolidate short-term memories into long-term memories. A short 20-minute nap has huge benefits!
  7. Revise every 1 hour, before you have a break. If you don’t remember much, that means your brain is fried and needs a break.
  8. Listen to soft/instrumental music which DOES NOT have lyrics. Listening to lyrical music is distracting, whether or not you’re aware of it.
  9. Follow the Pomodoro Technique:
Best SSB Book –>  Let’s Crack SSB Interview
Best AFCAT Book –> Let’s Crack AFCAT

The Pomodoro technique is a time management/productivity life hack. It helps you to get more things done in less time. Here’s how it works:

Basically, you have to work for 25 minutes straight and then take a 5-minute break. When you are done with four Pomodoro, take a 15-20 minute break. Follow this:

  • Make a ‘to do list’ (priority wise)
  • Now see whether the task you want to do can be done in 25 minutes or will it require more time.
  • If it will take you more than 25minutes to accomplish your task, break it into small achievable targets of 25 minutes.
  • Now set aside all the distractions. Logout of twitter, fb, etc. Put your phone on flight mode.
  • Start the timer. Start with a task. Now you are on a Pomodoro. You can only focus on the task at hand. Don’t cheat, you’ll get a break time in 25 minutes.
  • After 25 minutes, mark an ‘X’ on your journal or any paper for recording the Pomodoros.
  • Take a 5 minute break. You cannot do ANYTHING related to your task in your break time. Even you were in the middle of something, you HAVE TO take a break.
  • Your break should last only and only for 5 minutes. Get back to work after 5 minutes. Set the timer again for your next pomodoro.
  • After 4 Pomodoros, you can take a longer break. The long break should between 15-30 minutes.

And you are all set for studying 12-14 hours daily. If you have any queries or questions, feel free to ask us at out Facebook Group, SSBCrack Support.

8 Harsh Truths About Army Life Nobody Tells You

8 Harsh Truths About Army Life Nobody Tells You

If you think being in the military is being like in an action movie, you will be sorely disappointed. There surely are moments like an action movie but not all gets a chance to do that.

Now, we know what you’re thinking already but this isn’t that.

So what’s this about? You have to look under the hood. If you want to make the right decision, you have to do your research. And this post will help you in that.

  1. All do not live a life as shown in commercials: Yeah, they are pretty awesome that is for sure. They make you want to jump up and sign up for the service tomorrow. But, they are in no way a good depiction of the military lifestyle. Not everyone will go to a warship or be a pilot in IAF. 
  2. It will destroy your soul: We must warn you that the language is rough, but every word of it is true. Every soldier has experienced this at some point during his military career.
  3. If married soldiers die during service, their family would suffer greatly: This is true, absolutely true. The unit personnel will support you till they get the recognition that they’re doing their job. After that, they’ll sit in their chairs and relax.
  4. You are on standby 24/7, even on a holiday: No matter what your rank or specialization, the Army can wake you up at midnight and make you guard a port-o-potty in the middle of nowhere, thousands of miles from any national security threat. All you’ll have to protect yourself is a broom and a canteen. You have no say in the matter, and nobody is required to explain anything.
  5. You have nothing to gain in a war, and everything to lose: The best they can hope for is to come back in one piece. Thus there is no logical incentive.
  6. Troops often come back with post-traumatic stress syndrome: This psychologically haunts them for years, or for life.
  7. You keep your family at risk: An Army wife understands that her soldier can be deployed at any time, many times. During this time, she holds the fort. We hate to say this, but it’s a lot like being a single mom. It takes a very special woman to be an Army wife. Just remember that when you join, so does your family.
  8. You might get fatally injured: Casualties happen in war. War is hell. People know the risks when they join. It comes with the territory. What people don’t know is that this can happen at any time, even stateside. Even if there is no ammunition or ordinance around, a soldier can get seriously and permanently injured from other reasons including Basic Training, PFT, etc.

The Indian action was meant to pre-empt their infiltration.
  10. Balakot Stike 2019: The 2019 Balakot airstrike was conducted by India in the early morning hours of February 26 when Indian warplanes crossed the de facto border in the disputed region of Kashmir, and dropped bombs in the vicinity of the town of Balakot in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan.
