Jai Hind! Readers and Sir...

I have been your follower since class 10th.

It was in the year 2020, when I joined the NCC. But because of lockdown, the classes were held online.

As a defense brat, I have seen how the life in military is indeed challenging yet filled with stories and experiences no regular person could relate.

Then Gunjan Saxena movie gave me a push towards pursuing this field. It was in 2021, when it was announced that the female candidates could also apply for NDA and be a part of the Academy. It was as if a new path had been opened for me. Ever since I heard that news, I had my eyes on this goal.

Yes, a female joining the military is not something that people would grasp immediately. Especially the ones with old junk mindset.

Then, in 2022 during my 10th boards, I was having a hard time going through mental stress, and I was in such a state that I questioned myself whether it will be possible for me or not. The success rate is indeed rarely possible, but why focus on the 99% when you could choose to be on 1%. During that time when NDA videos or anything related to military were filled in my YT feed, I ended up clicking your video MY NDA POP.

Rona nikal aaya would be an understatement.

It was as if a wave of motivation and determination rushed over me that ever since then, I haven't stopped myself.

In the past two years I went through downfalls and failures which a normal academic student would go through, but during those times, it was your videos which pushed me to get out of the haze and look at the bigger aspect.

You have very little idea of what your role is in my life, but if by chance in future I do stand among the cadets during my POP, I would forever be grateful that you were a major part of my life during my aspirant phase.

This is just a beginning message of thankfulness and gratefulness towards you.
