Role Model:

My father is my role model because he has discharged his social obligations with atmost care & responsibility.Mother is a pillar of any family.She guides her children in a right way but my father in absence of my mother played both the roles fantastically.I am very proud to have such a nice father.

Changes In The Professional Environment:

I took VRS from Indian Air Force in Nov 2008 after serving 20 Years 10 Months.After my retirement,I can compare the professional environment in Air Force.In Air Force everything is systematic and in Civil there is a no system.Even a peon dare to sit on the chair of boss in his/her absence.

Plans For The Future:

I want see myself on the top and I have started working on that.Having 20 years 10 months experience there is no value of that experience in civil.Everbody thinks that fauji hai yaar,inko sirf goli chalani aati hai.But I am proud to be a soldier because Indian Air Force given me a lot.
