Well I joined tha navy in August 2002 and went for my basic training in chilka in orrisa.. There I hv been trained for 6 months to learn basic rules and discipline.. Then in last week of January 2003 I got one month leaves after my basic training.. I was very happy that I was going back to my home after a long time.. That time I realized that now I'm not a normal person.. I become a soldier of my nation.. When I arrived my home at Ludhiana that time my parents hug me tightly and blessed me with their love.. Apart from that i was feeling my self different from my other friends.. I enjoyed leaves with happiness and joy.. In that period I met with my all relatives and friends.. After my leaves I hv been appointed for ship training in cochin kerala for my further 3 months ship experience.. My parents came to railway station to see off me with heavy heart.. That day I was so much upset coz again I was leaving my parents for a long time.. But I was unable to stop going my self... That day the rain was in full swing.. It was heavily raining.. Train started and after more than 2 days journey I reached at cochin. I was shocked when I came to know that the people don't know Hindi.. But I manage one taxi driver to drop me at naval base..... After that I reported on board my ship.. First time I was looking such a big ship in my life.. It was like a mini city.. Next day my shipmate introduced me and other trainees to ship company.. I took almost 10 days to settled my self in ship conditions... After that our ship went to Goa and followed by foreign countries like Italy and Egypt.. During visit the sea conditions was normal but when we arrived at suawge canal at Mediterranean Sea the sea conditions gone worst like a hell.. The sea was very rough and our ship was rolling and pitching.. We all under trainee were scared like a small kids and praying for our lives to god.. Full night we were under scare... But next day in afternoon again sea was calm and silent like a river.. After around near 11th day we arrived at polermo city in Italy.. The city was looking like heaven and we all had enjoyed there for 6 days.. Indian navy ambassy in Italy had arranged some other cities and placed tours for full ship company.. 7th day we moved back from there to our next city to Egypt.. After 4th day we were in the Egypt... Here also we went to see pyramids and many more things like mummy.. It was like a dreams for me but I bite my self and said "Oye amit Malhotra it's true.." in Egypt we stayed for 5 days.. after that we headed towards India.. We all were so much happy and feeling proud to join the Indian navy.. As it says that "join the Indian navy and see the world".. After 45 days we were back to cochin.. Slowly slowly 3 months passed and we had done our ship training successfully.. From there I went to lonavala for my further branch trade training.. Here too I spent my 6 months.. After passed out from lonavala engineering college I was a complete package of well disciplined man and a Navy battle soldier too.. My first appointment was again in cochin in the ship.. But this time my ship was another.. I spent my four years at cochin and transferred to Mumbai.. Then vizag and now presently at Delhi since 2011 May.. During my 11 years of service I got lots of experience in engineering and other various battle activities and navigation system.. I saw the world like almost 15 countries.. I saw various region sea and sea life.. Sea world.. And many more which I can't explain in text messages.. :-) so here it is my life.. I hope you would like this.. But I would like to say that I am little bit weak in english and grammar.. So please understand my past.. Present and future tense...
