My SSB at Dehradun


it was 2nd august, 2010, i started my journey from khanna to dehradun, where i was suppose to have my long awaited SSB,



before i go furher i just wanted to add a few things,
i have been a student of Sainik School Sujanpur Tihra,
so to join INDIAN DEFENCE SERVICES has always been my LIFE TIME PRIORITY since childhood,

i never dreamed of something else,
i have always seen of myself under shoulder stars!!!
but you know we never get what we want,
and what we get we never respect it,
what ever the reason could be,
wheter or not i got qualified,
one thing i am very sure about,

I LEARNT OF ME THIS TIME!!!

this time i really learnt of me,
i came to know about what i am,
where i am lacking,
where i have to improve upon!!

to be very genuine i am feeling like a looser,
who was over confident,
much degraded,
and most importantly of ZERO IQ!!!

yeah thats right!!
i just said ZERO IQ!!!
i discovered it in myself...

any way lets get off from my personality examinaion,
let me narrate you about my stay at #1 AFSB Dehradun,





Day 1:


it was morning 3:00 AM when i reached Dehradun ISBT Bus stand,
it was raining slowly, as soon i step out of bus, i was over covered by auto rickshaw people, asking me to come along them, any how i denied to every one, and manage to skip.



later i quaried to a few of them to drop me at MCO near railway station, as we were suppose to gather up at the place.
but plan didnt work for me, i was alone and terrif were heavy, i went off the road toward other side,

an auto guy was there heading toward MCO, i asked him about the fare, and settled up at 40 bucks,
i reached MCO at near by 3:45 AM,

at the moment i reached i could hardly see any one there,
may be none has reached yet,
and i was the first to reach the mount MCO...

any how it was quite dark, and and every one was sleeping in a zigzag manner!!!
i too felt a need for but place and timing didnt allowed me, i started to look for a comfortable zone,
i managed one, sat there for a while, but not for a long time...
i was feeling quite bore so called one of my friend in early morning, talked for a while, as i was on roaming so, YOU KNOW BALANCE PROBLEM...

some way i awaited there, as slowly the place got filled up with candidates from different places, HP, Punjab, Delhi, Ambala, Rajasthan, Haryana, Bihar and many more.

At exact 7:00 AM, air force bus arrived, and after certain formalities,
we were taken to AFSB Staion, where we were given chest numbers, which was more of our identity,
then we filled certian forms and hence we were asked to go through a OIT, (Officer Intelligency Test), this test was more like to check the intelligency of the invidual, 30 minutes and 60 question, and again 30 min and 60 question of different sections...
after our test got over some refreshment was given,
further we were taken for the lunch, but before that a screening test was conduced, a test called as PP&DT was conducted, a faded picture was shown to all of us, and we were suppose to write a story on it.
As i just said he picture was quite faded so every body wrote their own part, like wise i did mine.
Just after we wrote the story we were send to differnrt room to discuss on the story we just wrote, it was more like the GD.
Finaly things got over, & we were send back to the mess, we had our lunch and just after the lunch results of screening were declared, out of 270 only 70 got inbound, rest were disqualified and sent back to their respective places.



After this we were re-assigned chest numbers again, as per the continous series.
Well for us the day was over but it wasn't, we had another task waiting for us, we were made to under go psysho test, a continous series of tests in a predefined order, TAT, WAT, followed by SRT, and at last description of one self. It was almost 10, we were asked for dinner, and after dinner, we were called again to fillup PIR form, kind of self intro form, later we explained about our schedule about the stay, as day was quite hectic, so we were feeling very sleepy, immediately we were made off from there, i direcly jumped into bed, whole day walking and talking had tired me up hard, so slept in one moment, rest of my room mate kept on talking for a while.
