Story Of A Gentleman Cadet

“My first step to becoming the leader that I aspire to be & what an experience….It’s a rock & roll ride but in the end, it is all worth it. It was a moment of great pride when I first saluted the national flag having passed the Drill Test & realised how precious it is to be a part of this wonderful army, responsible for the protection of the nation. Within one month, I have become the envy of my friends back home & the pride of my parents. I never thought that such would be the transformation in me; training has made me not only confront my fears but also overcome them. The training made me confident, gave me great experiences & friends for a lifetime. It’s a great feeling to know you have a buddy who is there for you & you can count on him.

The friendships you make during training are unlike anything I experienced in my school. The kind of challenges you face and successes you have created a bond that people who weren’t there just can’t understand. Training at Officers Training Academy Gaya showed me what I am truly capable of doing when I put my mind to it and drive on. The tasks we had to do gave me confidence and a feeling of accomplishment that made it all worthwhile.
Initial training is like any sport, it will wear you down after a while, especially if you start taking everything as seriously as they want you to. The secret is to keep your sense of humour and remember that you are bound to mess up – they’ll make sure of that – but as long as you give it your best, you will look back on this someday, as the leader that you come to be, and laugh.”

In Conversation With Ashish Gaur, AIR 1 CDSE UPSC

  • First of all, congrats for being No.1 in CDS 2014 Exam. How do you feel about it?

    A: Thank you very much. It feels great to secure the 1st rank in a national level UPSC exam.

  • Did you ever think of getting AIR 1 in CDS Exam? Please share your plan for it to other Defence aspirants and what all preparation steps you took?

    A:  Yes, I dreamt and wished of securing the top spot.
    After my SSB recommendation, I was quite confident that I will make it in the top 10 of the merit list while not negating the fact that there was always little anxiety at the back of my mind of not making it into the merit list. Well, as they say, anxiety is not bad. Optimal anxiety is a great driving factor in life.

    My Plan:

The greatest boon of our times is that we have access to free information on all subjects at the click of a button, thanks to the internet. Needless to say, I extensively used the internet and being an avid reader, this hobby of mine helped me a lot in the preparation for the examination.
i) Firstly, I glanced through the previous years question papers to get to know the various topics and the level of questions which one can expect in the exam. The questions asked in Mathematics and English sections were not hard but CDSE being a competitive exam, I realized that dexterous speed and accuracy is what will matter the most.
ii) Bought a CDSE refresher book, went through the topics of Mathematics to refresh the calculation shortcuts.
My office hours were hectic, 9-12.5 hours a day plus long commuting hours in a city like Mumbai, so the real struggle was to squeeze out 4-5 hours for preparations, for which I worked hard. I completed Maths in 3 weeks.
iii) Being a regular newspaper reader, Current affairs was taken care of automatically. I did not do any special preparation for English.
 For General subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Civics, and History, just glanced through the CDSE refresher. I couldn’t manage enough time to read Economics and Biology. The time was taken: 4 weeks.
Total time was taken: 8 weeks(including revision)
My exam Strategy:

  1.  To be fast and accurate in Mathematics.
  2. To take measured risk(very high in my case) in English and General Ability test as the syllabus is huge. I relied more on logic and my school days memory to cruise through these sections.

    My mistake: Not giving enough time to extensively study subjects of General Ability Test.In Conversation With Ashish Gaur, AIR 1 CDSE UPSC

  • What motivated you to join Indian Navy, when did you realize about joining Indian Navy?

    A: It’s my childhood dream to become a fighter pilot and I have a fascination towards the sea. I want to lead an adventurous and thrilling life where I work along cutting edge technology through which I can serve the humanity and my nation. The answer to this is obviously the Indian Navy, wherein I have a chance to work as a naval aviator.

  • What is the best way to prepare for CDS exam according to you?

    A: Not being idealistic in approach, for Mathematics, take a CDSE refresher, solve 4 questions of each type. For English, if needed, one can read a good Grammar book. For Current Affairs, regularly read newspapers and Competitive exam magazines and for GK subjects, study at one’s own pace. Keep revising regularly.
    I started late, but one should start early and not make the mistake which I committed.

  • What is your golden tip for clearing CDS exam with AIR 1?

    A: Truly believe in yourself, be sincere and always do smart work.

  • How did you prepare for CDS SSB Interview?

    A: I prepared intensively for 3 weeks for this CDS SSB interview as this was going to be my first and last SSB attempt because I could not appear for SSB interviews before due to some personal reasons.

    So I took help of SSB guidance websites on the Internet and some guidance for SSB procedure from friends serving in the Indian Armed forces. Self Introspection, being a life long process, helped a lot in the facing the interview. I solved two batteries of sample TAT, WAT, and SRT, with proper time constraints, which are easily available on various websites on the internet and read extensively about Indian Armed Forces on Wikipedia and related sources.

    This helped me lot during lecturette and PI where the Interviewing officer asked me questions ranging from Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Geography, Indian Political history, Current affairs to the Indian Navy.

  • Do you think coaching helps in written exam and SSB Interview if yes, did you take coaching?

    A: As far as written exam is concerned, if one is weak in Mathematics and English, one can take professional guidance. But for SSB interview, the interviewing officers themselves condemn coaching.
    No, I did not take any coaching for either.

  • How was your SSB Interview? Any special moment of your SSB interview you would like to share with us?

    A: In my SSB interview, I met really good people and had tons of fun with the friends I made there.
    Everything went very smoothly except for what happened on day 1. I twisted my ankle and damaged my tissues very badly. Seeing the swelling, the medical assistant advised me to quit but I decided to continue the interview for my dream and eventually did all my GTO tasks successfully. What made it special was support of my friends in all the tasks and my own new-found will to bear that excruciating pain for the following 4 days. And yes, popping those painkillers from Med Asst went a long way in enduring the pain too.

  • What are your golden tips for SSB freshers and repeaters?

    A: Do a lot of self-introspection before appearing for the interview. Often, we don’t know ourselves. SSB is a very scientific test so be honest, just be yourself as you are a unique person, a champion warrior. Flow like water and enjoy those five days to the fullest.

  • How was your medical exam?

    A: My batch’s medical examination took 4 days to complete. I was found to be completely medically fit. It was an enjoyable time as few Army CDSE and 10+2 TES candidates also joined us and we had a lot of fun time together.

  • How do you feel before joining INA, Ezhimala? Are you ready for it?

    A: Standing next to the cradle of my naval life, I feel extremely joyous to be a part of INA soon, the foundation which will nourish my childhood dream. Yes, I am completely ready for it.

  • We wish you all the best and a great future ahead. It was nice talking to you.

    Thank you very much. It’s been a pleasure to share my story which can help fellow aspirant friends to achieve their dreams and serve the nation. They can freely contact me on Ashish Gaur for any further queries.

India's Nirbhay Cruise Missile

India’s DRDO is developing a sub sonic cruise missile called Nirbhay, with a range of more than 1,000 kms. Unlike the supersonic Brahmos, it doesn’t travel faster than the speed of sound. Rather, it has wings like a plane and is powered by a turbofan engine. It flies to the target carrying either conventional or a nuclear payload. This video from the last successful test shows the missile in flight. Taken from an IAF Jaguar plane, you can see the missile up close. Hats off to the daring pilot and cameraman who managed to get so close to a fast flying missile.

Major Advantages of Modi’s Tour to Bangladesh

Major-Advantages-of-Modis-Tour-to-Bangladesh

Major Advantages of Modi’s Tour to Bangladesh (Modi Bangladesh Visit). India since the time of independence, has very cordial relations with all its neighbors. Some of them are on a high pace of development like China and Pakistan while some still seek India’s support for running the economy. Bangladesh is one of those nations who always needs the helping hand of India in order to flourish its economy.

In the post-war era of 1971 war, after getting a separate identity, the relations took many ups and downs. In terms of land, Bangladesh is surrounded by only two countries which are India and Myanmar. But even being a neighbor of Myanmar, most of its interactions took place with India. There are many areas of agreement and disagreements between the two countries. From October 2013, India started exporting 500 Megawatts of electricity per day to Bangladesh over a period of 35 years. After that many developments have taken place between these two nations.Major-Advantages-of-Modis-Tour-to-Bangladesh

Illegal immigration has always been the major point of concern between these two countries. At present, approximately 20 million illegal immigrated are living in India. Some insurgent groups are also related with Bangladesh. ULFA is supposed to have lucrative income from Bangladesh. Some years ago Farraka Barrage was also a point of dispute between both the countries.

Why Recently in News- Modi Bangladesh Visit

Recently Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a tour to Bangladesh and settled 41 years old land boundary issues (111 borders enclaves will be transferred to Bangladesh in exchange of 51 to be handed over to India) along with other 21 agreements which were successfully wrapped up. But he got a surprise for his nation before stepping back to India. In an agreement Bangladesh allowed Indian cargo ships to use Chittagong port (China backed port) and Mongla port in Bangladesh. This agreement was under decisions and was to be signed in 2011 but got delayed as Bangladesh backed out to sign it due to the issue of Tessa agreements. This will not only help civilian vessels to stay but will also make India fearless from Chinese influence on Dhaka.

What is String of Pearls?

Chittagong port was one of the port that was included in the String of Pearls project that is launched to revive silk route in Aisa. The string of pearl includes Gwadar in Pakistan, Hambantota in Srilanka, Marao in the Maldives, and Kyaukpyu and Sittwe in Myanmar. According to Indian perception, China is building ports around Indian boundary to dominate the water of India. This perception got another reason to bother when a Chinese submarine surfaced in Sri Lankan port. After getting access of Chittagong port, it will play a crucial role between two nations i.e. India and china.China is already in the limelight due to the controversies regarding the South China Sea. And its dominating attitude made a bad impact on its relations with some of its neighbors. China Is expected to have good intentions behind a revival of the silk route. But India’s point of concern over its defense engagement on ports led India to think again. But this historical step between these two nations has made India a bit relax and also bridged the gaps between India and Bangladesh. The constant cooperation between these two countries will provide new hooks in the relations of two neighboring countries.

HAL Tejas First India Made Light Combat Aircraft

HAL Tejas: First India Made Light Combat Aircraft. Indian Air Force has been playing a crucial role in national defense and strengthening security. IAF had conducted many exercises and also gave best support in operation whether it be Op. Megh Rahat of Jammu and Kashmir flood, Op. Maitri for Nepal earthquake or it be Operation Lehar in Andhra Pradesh for Hudhud affected people. Indian Air Force is performing best of it in empowering its fleet and also getting government’s help in getting new and enhanced technology for future use. India’s MiG-21 and MiG-21 Bison are the aging jets that need to be replaced with new ones. Currently Indian Air Force have 34 squadron rather it needs 44 to combat with full strength. India’s emerging indigenization and desire to escalate the development rate lead to the birth of a new fighter –TEJAS LCA (Light Combat Aircraft).

Tejas is a light weight, smallest, supersonic, multirole aircraft. Currently Tejas is 65% indigenous and developers are thinking to increase it to 75%, as per the sources. DRDO is developing a new engine for LCA named Kaveri. It is undergoing trails in Russia and will be brought back to India after final testing. Indian government gave nod for its production in 2009 and its 1st flight of two prototypes was done in the same year. Hot weather trails were taken in 2010 for testing its performance at a temperature of 45degrees.HAL Tejas First India Made Light Combat Aircraft

It took DRDO several years and talented minds to design and develop this aircraft. DRDO is developing Tejas in 4 types

  • LCA for Airforce
  • LCA Trainer for Airforce
  • LCA for Navy
  • LCA Trainer for Navy

What’s Special About Tejas:

Well Tejas is the 2nd aircraft made by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). It is a multi-role combat aircraft which is of 4+ generation. The main purpose of its production seems to be its replacement with MiG-21 and MiG-21 Bison, which are well known as flying coffins. The complete digital fly by wire system which improves its handling and gives it a star on ratings. The highest tested speed of LCA is 1.6 Mach but theoretically it has a speed of 1.8 Mach.The aircraft can be armed with air-to-air, air-to-ground and anti-ship missiles, precision-guided munitions,

The aircraft can be armed with air-to-air, air-to-ground and anti-ship missiles, precision-guided munitions, rockets and bombs. It has 23mm twin barreled gun that can fire 50 rounds per second.

The highly maneuverable feature of LCA is a bit tough to compare with others, but high specifications needs more attention. Single seat and single engine are the feature to bother about.

DRDO is on the move to develop Tejas Mark-II, which is expected to be a 5th generation jet with stealth capability and will have more feature then Mark-I. The outer surface will be made of radar absorbing material that will absorb the waves and avert their reflection back to the radar. The expected flight trails of Mark-II is scheduled in 2017. Tejas Mark-II will symbolize Indian Air Force’s muscles and will compete with other nation’s jets. Currently only USA is operating 5th generation jet F22 which is becoming a burden on their budget. That’s why they stopped its production in 2012.

Well, India had proved its talent and power many times. Some exceptionally jobs done by Indian minds have made India proud on international stages. Tejas also seems to bring India to the limelight.
