Oath of an Indian Army Officer!!!

The Armed Forces of India i.e., Indian Army, Indian Airforce and Indian Navy will always have a very special place in my heart for what they represent. I came to  know about these brave hearts of India only during the Kargil Conflict in 1999 when I was in my 8th grade. Since then I have a huge respects for these Men in uniform.

I never had 'THE STUFF' to make it into Indian Army except for deep love of My Nation and its people. But nevertheless , I'm always fascinated towards it. I had a great privilege of interacting with Armed forces and visiting their places which was once in a life time opportunity. My fascination took me to a journey of understanding them a better through wars that they fought, their tactics, challenges faced , mental agony and utmost bravery displayed against all odds to win the battle etc. These things have increased my sense of respect for these men to a new level.

Coming to one particular thing that I get connected to very much is the Oath of an Indian Army officer, which I 'm going to write it down here. 

"I  hereby solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India,as by law established and that I will, as in duty bound honestly and faithfully,serve in the regular Army of the Union of India and go wherever ordered, by land, sea or air,and that I will observe and obey all the commands of the President of the Union of India and the commands of any officer set above me, even to the peril of my life."

I came to know about Oath through the movie "lakshya", where a particular scene was dedicated for this Oath ceremony.  Here is the Oath scene from the Movie " Lakshya".

 This scene always gives me goosebumps whenever I see it. This scene was executed to perfection. It is because of this Oath that they are bounded to, which makes them to execute their tasks putting their lives at risk . It is because of this Oath that the people of this Nation are able to have good night sleep with their families while these men guard our borders against evil forces working to demoralize this Nation. My salutations to these great men and their responsibility that are dutifully fulfilling.  I almost see this once in every week to remind myself of my duty towards My Nation.

In all, I take pride in being a great supporter of Indian armed forces. Their discipline , courage , traditions and love for the Nation is what  needs to be inculcated in every citizen of this Nation for its Prosperity and Peace.

Lastly I leave you with this Instrumental Intro music from the Movie "Lakshya" which inspires me a lot. Hope you enjoy it too.  Just remember to take pride in being Indian and supporter of Indian Armed Forces. This is least thing they can expect from us apart from respect and honour.

Stay Happy and keep smiling

YES!! I AM AN ORGAN DONOR

I always enjoyed giving something to others and make their lives peaceful and happy. This brings a great joy to my heart and I always enjoyed doing it no matter whatever I need to face it on my side. In the end, I always ensure that the other person is happy. I just love giving and I'm not boastful of myself as I don't expect anything in return;). I'm sharing this on my blog because I know very well that not many read by blog ;). I just wanted to say simply that I enjoy giving without any expectations from others.

Continuing this tradition of giving ,  I wanted to ensure that I leave my legacy even when I'm gone. I mean when I'm dead. I felt the most effective way to help out when you are gone is by donating your organs to others who are in need of it.So I immediately registered myself along with my good old friend Karthik on October 23rd , 2013 to Mohan Foundation which is dedicated to inspire people to donate their organ after death.Check out their website for more info regarding organ donations.

This Donor card I always carry in my wallet

We can donate the following organs Kidneys , Eyes, Heart, Lungs, Liver, Pancreas , skin and save upto 8 lives which is a huge impact we can have after we are dead. I hope I would be helpful in the same to whatever extend possible after I'm dead. 

The Important aspect of this donation is that the consent of my family to carryout this after I'm dead. Of course , they readily agreed to me when I told them  about my organ donation. But I'm not quite sure what would be circumstances my family has to go through and get this done after I 'm dead. I hope it would bring some happiness to them after I'm gone. 

So guys here I'm pledging my organs to be donated after I'm dead and hope my family and friends would get this thing done for me. I hope it inspires you to do the same.

Here is an inspiring 21 years old boy Thota Manikanta who was  declared brain dead after  an accident and upon his family consent all his organs were donated. His organs can now save upto 8 lives!!! . This has happened on  March 7th ,2015 which inspired me to write this post. I dedicate this post to this boy who will continue to live on forever through his organs.

Here is the link below to  the news article that came in THE HINDU in which a detail description of  the efforts of everyone i.e.,Family, friends, Doctors, Police and traffic police in making sure to fulfill this boy's last wish by creating a Green Channel was executed to perfection . Hatsoff to everyone.

         "Brain dead man gives new life to 8 persons"

 

Here is a video which shows the response of the people who stood by the roadside to pay respects to this boy by showing flowers . Watch till the end.

Stay Happy and Keep Smiling
