I followed you back from my blog.<BR/><BR/>I was once excited enough about the army to write to them and ask more information about entry into the SSB. They never replied. But I think I didn't have any chance of getting seleceted anyway. :DFirst Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17399581277129935484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976244.post-47193134556440468632008-06-11T02:22:00.000-07:002008-06-11T02:22:00.000-07:00Hmmm..

One stuck through for 5 years, one never forgets to remind me how he is fulfilling his dad's line.. GAAH and the youngest one who is more my age is happily frolicking abroad away from the pressure..

Don't know what to say, I would like to meet this cousin of yours and salute him from my side. <BR/><BR/>Irony of it is the Indian army with its increasing scarcity of determined armyman has missed a very able, determined, defence personnel. A big loss for the Indian Army. Hope your cousin finds happiness in the teaching job.Romilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454784146159583205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976244.post-30951891700465603272008-05-05T09:55:00.000-07:002008-05-05T09:55:00.000-07:00a heart breaking story indeed.. i always feel sad ...a heart breaking story indeed.. i always feel sad when someone really tries hard but yet is left a foot away frm his dreams.<BR/><BR/>Neverthless, I appreciate him for dreaming differently and trying hard to achive it. So what if he didnt get to his dreams, the process in itself must 've been quite a journey which made him a better person.<BR/><BR/>Thx, for stopping by my blog, and u've been blogging frm 2004?

Yes...I have heard of several such failures too...some of my husband's friends who didn't make it are now in other jobs...<BR/><BR/>My heart goes out to your brother. Its an irony that in a service where there is such a severe shortfall of Officers, they would actually reject able bodied men for no apparent reason. Doesn't India need boys who would want to join the services for the passion of it, not as the last resort to earn a livlihood!!!! There seems to be a slip between the cup and the lip.<BR/><BR/>I do hope your brother finds happiness pursuing an alternate career. Wish I could add more. I am truly overwhelmed by this post.<BR/><BR/>Came to ur blog today to tell you that of u're coming to Pune, we could perhaps meet for a cup of coffee somewhere. I could gve you my handphone number.
