Fifteen Years!! is a long time. Starting from the time when India was recovering from a near economic catastrophe with barely a Billion dollar forex reserves....... to now when there's so much of buoyancy, so much confidence of the world, from the Harshad Mehta era to the era of 21000 on the SENSEX, it sure has been a long journey.
The start point was even further back....with us the teenagers joining the famed National Defence Academy at Khadakvasla, Pune and starting what would be an enviable career with the Armed Forces of the country. Not every one is lucky to step into the portals of our now Alma Mater, and still not everyone who does get a chance, passes out of it....our course had approx 304 of us joining as first termers but only 236 or so gracefully passed out.
Ah, NDA the memories are so fresh that it looks like the other day when we joined and passed out. But yes while being there the days & specially the nights seemed so long, moreso in the junior terms.
......to be contd
