The above expression unfurls a wide spectrum of feelings embedded within the professional part of being human. Human beings are supposed to be "intelligent" and the attachments with these intellectual assets as we travel through the dimension of time, cause us to focus our minds on a particular pattern of thinking - termed as a "profession" - it becomes the means of survival. One of these assets, with bipolar extremities found their way into my life, as I started to evolve from teens into adulthood. After completing my degree in architecture it seemed a moment of a great achievement when I cleared my SSB (Services selection Board) exam in the first go (after several failed attempts to clear the NDA (National Defence Academy) exam earlier in the 9th and 10th standards) and was selected to join up for training at IMA (Indian Military Academy)- a step towards becoming an Indian Army Officer through the TGC (Technical Graduates Course).
