Lessons To Learn From The Life Of Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma-Gandhi-quotes

Hello, Warriors! 2nd Oct 2015 marks the 146th birth anniversary of Father of The Nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Though the title, ‘Father of The Nation’ is not officially declared, as the Constitution of India does not permit a father of nation, it is mostly conferred to him due to his values and contribution to make India a free nation.

Following are the values to learn from the life of Mahatma Gandhi:

  1. Be What You Are: Gandhiji had the moral courage to visit Buckingham Palace in London clad in his usual simple attire. He casually joked that the king was wearing enough clothes for both of them. This can inspire you to stick to your moral convictions at any cost. Believe in yourself and fight the odds bravely in tough times. Be Yourself.
  1. Be The Change You Want to See: Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” We all crib about things which are not right in our lives and around us. We blame every possible person, government or organisation. However, we seldom do our bit. It is first important to change yourself and try being what you truly are and then expect a change in others.Mahatma-Gandhi-quotes
  1. Think Positive, Be Positive: Gandhiji once prominently said: “A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.” Your thoughts becomes your feelings, your feelings become your actions, your actions become your habit and it’s your habit that defines you. Therefore stay positive and your entire predicament will feel much less significant.
  1. Instead of ‘Give and Get’, ‘Forgive and Forget’: Gandhiji said, “An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.” He believed that only strong people can forgive and forget. So, believe in the power of forgiveness and forget about it; it will help you grow as a person and bring peace.
  1. Be an Example for others: Gandhi said that to change the world, one should start by first changing oneself. So take a good look at the man or woman in the mirror, and make the necessary improvements to become a better person. You cannot hope to inspire others if you do not lead an exemplary life yourself.
  1. Don’t Say ‘Die’: Mahatma Gandhi was one of the freedom fighters who never gave up on the British rule. He fought till the end and made India a proud and free nation. Never give up on your dreams. Be persistent and face every problem with a brave soul. Never have a ‘do or die’ attitude-always do it, before you die.
  1. Be Determined: Mahatma Gandhi knew this really well. His consistency, hardwork and sheer dedication made him excel in everything he did. Be determined and consistent in whatever you do. It is a virtue of successful people.
  1. It’s how you do is all that matters: Gandhiji believed that one’s journey to the goal is more important than the goal itself. That is why he followed the noble method of non-violent protest to fight the British. Gandhiji showed that however important one’s goal may be, it is virtuous to adopt honest and upright means to reach it.

Gandhiji’s brave and successful struggle for Indian independence started the end of British colonialism. He proved that one small man can create big change with his exemplary principles and character. One can learn from his example, and lead a simple and productive life of courage and high moral values, that is fulfilling to oneself and inspires others too.

AFCAT And EKT List Of Non Evaluated Candidates

With the result of AFCAT 2 2015 and EKT 2015, Indian air force has also published the list of non-evaluated candidates. There are total 960 and 1138 candidates for AFCAT and EKT who are under NE category which means their mark sheets or OMR sheets are not evaluated by the Indian air force due to some reasons which are unknown right now.

Possible reasons:

  1. Tampering with the bar code of OMR sheet.
  2. Not attending EKT exam after AFCAT.
  3. Loss of OMR sheets or no submission.AFCAT And EKT List Of Non Evaluated Candidates

It’s  strange that Indian air force has not revealed the reason for not evaluating the OMR sheets of so many aspirants. We hope they will tell the reason soon so that in future aspirants will be more careful while writing the AFCAT and EKT.

What can you do if your name is in the list? Try to contact the AFCAT cell, you will find the contact details on the official career website of Indian Air Force.

Will they check OMR sheet again? Mostly no, the same thing happened in last AFCAT also and there were no re-evaluation as such. But, hope for the best.

83rd-Indian-Air-Force-Day-Heading-to-Advancement

83rd Indian Air Force day is celebrated in the entire nation. The celebration showed various aspects and revealed many corners of it.  Well, it is good to some extent as it will increase the craze of the Air Force in youth. The Indian Air Force has gathered much fame on its day and stole the show with its beasts flying in the air. Some important things happened around this Air Force day. Here we are discussing them.

Tejas induction – With the celebration of Indian Air Force day, Tejas also got its name hanging around the Air Force. The government has rejected the Indian Air Force’s requirement of additional Rafale as 36 Rafales are not enough and suggested the induction of homemade Tejas jets. DRDO has claimed that at least 5 Tejas will be there in the next celebration of Indian Air Force day, 2016. Indian Air Force’s reluctance in Tejas has made the issue a bit sour. Finally, the induction of 7 MK I-A Tejas was approved to overcome the shortage of jets Indian Air Force. The aim of its development was to replace the aging aircrafts of Indian Air Force like MIG-21. A new version of Tejas i.e. Mark-II is under construction and is expected to erase all shortcomings of previous versions of Tejas.

Chinook and Apache Deal– Modi – Obama talks that took place last month were fruitful for the Air Force as India had a deal with US for purchasing 15 Chinook and 22 Apache helicopters. The deal costs $ 3 billion or approximately 20,000 cr. As per the sources, one deal way signed for purchasing Chinooks between MoD and Boeing and for Apaches, 2 deals were signed, one between MoD and Boeing and another between both the governments. The advanced helicopters will make Indian Air Force more strong simultaneously bolstering India US relations

Radar integration worth Rs 8,000 cr – Indian Air Force has signed deal with Bharat electronics limited (BEL) for integrating all defense and civil radars.

How-Defense-Forces-Attract-Youngsters-at-different-Age

At present, there are ample opportunities to join Defense force and live a royal life with discipline and serve your country alongside. But it is a real life fact that not everyone came to know about these opportunities at the time they completed their schooling. Some of you might get attracted towards Defense forces during school time or during your college time or during your job days. But in all these stages, Indian defense forces allure you through its different traits. So, check out how different age group aspirants are attracted towards joining the best working organization in the country.

16-19 years Group:

 It’s the time when you are nearly immature to take a strong decision for your coming future. You don’t even have decided to do after completion of your schooling. But the seed of joining defense forces is sown in your body since you move ahead in class 11th or 12th. It is the phase of life when your mind is ready to learn and catches thing in high speed. One can easily turn its mind in any direction. At this stage, few dedicated minds appears for NDA and most turn to engineering and left to other graduate courses. It is the time when army wants you, but you have many options to apt as per your ambition. Your attraction toward army is low and army’s attraction toward you is high.

20-23 year Group

         Now you have passed your schooling and have taken admission in college to complete your graduation course. It is the time where you find yourself in the center where many ways emerge for your career. At the beginning some aspirants try for NDA and some for TES as per eligibility criteria. It is the time when you start gaining experience of open world. The actual inclination toward army begins. A warm blooded nature makes you more attracted toward army. Here your craze for army goes to peak, but army becomes more possessive about selection as your mind has learnt enough and has less space for further learning.How-Defense-Forces-Attract-Youngsters-at-different-Age

23-25 year Group

         After completing graduation, there is a pressure over youth to get settled with a job as soon as possible. At this age, aspirants get diverted to other fields as they need any job to release pressure. Job seekers either prepare for competitive exams and army seekers opts a temporary job and side by side starts preparation for CDS and engineers to continue with SSC Tech, TGC, CDS, AFCAT and others. At this phase, you try to make a last move with thrust in order to catch your aim for the last time, but army becomes more selective as you have inculcated most of the things in your mind.

25-27 years Group

         This is the duration of life when a person did his schooling, completed graduation and finally started working in a private firm or have chosen any other sector. At this age, he might have gained a good experience in his field. But still a feel of changing life to more adventurous and do different things every day or getting rid of current life which repeats every day. This is the phase when an aspirant is almost tired of the current job and curiously need army, but army becomes very selective as your mind resists changing while training.

These age groups show your fluctuating mood toward joining the armed forces. You need to focus on yourself and make your mind suitable for army, if you dedicatedly want to join the army. All they want is a fit mind and body with trainable quality.
