A MiG 29K fighter plane was on a regular mission off the coast of Goa when it experienced a technical fault while it was returning to base. The plane went down in the sea. The pilot successfully extracted himself from the aircraft and was found after a speedy search and rescue operation. It has been stated that the pilot is in a stable condition.
A Board of Inquiry (BoI) has been ordered to investigate the cause of the incident: Indian Navy
The Indian Navy is the only organisation in the world that operates MiG-29K fighter aircraft. These aircraft were purchased from Russia along with the ship Admiral Gorshkov, which was later renamed the INS Vikramaditya.
The MiG-29Ks do not have a particularly stellar track record when it comes to safety. The Indian Air Force is now considering the purchase of 25–26 foreign fighter aircraft in order to support operations from the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, which was just recently commissioned in Kochi by the Prime Minister.
At the naval base known as INS Hansa near Goa, the MiG-29s are now stationed.
Nishant Singh, an Indian Navy pilot, was killed in the year 2020 when the MiG-29K he was flying crashed into the Arabian Sea.
TAT is the Thematic Apperception Test, a part of the battery of psychological tests conducted in the SSB Interview. It is a test of imagination where 11+1 pictures are displayed on the screen. The pictures are 11+1 because there are 11 pictures and one blank slide.
The candidates have to write a Story based on the picture in a span of 3-4 minutes (In some SSB 3 minutes and in some 4 minutes). Each slide appears for a period of 30 seconds and after that 3 or 4 minutes are given for the story writing.
Given below are a few tips which you may find helpful while tackling TAT:
It is a test of your imagination and you have to imagine and write a story. Remember it is a story writing and not describing the picture.
Your story should clearly have a hero. Now, this Hero is very important. This is so because this Hero represents you.
The thing a person writes or says or in other words, the kind of reaction a person gives depicts his/her personality a great deal. Hence the type of story you make depicts your personality to a certain extent.
Thus the Hero represents you. So make the Hero a positive character.
Your story must be a positive story.
The story should have a past, a present, and a future. The picture shown according to which you frame the story must appear somewhere in the story, most likely in the present part of the story.
Observe the picture very carefully and note down the minutest detail in your mind, they will help you in framing the story nicely.
Never write a pre-conceived story. Also do not try to fit something in the picture forcefully. Write only around what is shown.
Now some pictures may appear totally negative. A gloomy face, a dead body, an accident scene, etc. What to do then? In these cases don’t overlook and avoid what is very evidently visible, instead try to make a positive ending.
Don’t unnecessarily put negativity in your story. A sad face doesn’t imply death all the time, so do not make negative stories. You have to make it positive.
Generally, the structure of the story is that there is a hero. There is some information related to how things led to the present scenario (The picture), then the Hero solves the problem thus giving a positive ending.
Give realistic aims, and practical problems and their solutions. Do not give impractical views or childish imagination.
An ideal story lies between 80-100 words. A shorter story is not better, so practice writing fast. There is ample sample material present on our website.
Choose the age and profession of the main lead of your story very carefully. The age should be exactly what is evident from the picture. And choose the profession according to age.
In the case of many characters in the clip, choose the one closest to your age as your hero. In the case of pictures in which it is very difficult to determine the age, there also choose the age nearest to yours. But do not forcefully give the age of very evident characters near to your age. For eg. If in the picture only one child of 5 years is shown then do not write his age as 21 years in the story.
A good story has a motto, however small it may be, but it should be a practical, mature, and realistic motto.
