I married IMA on 11th of July 1994. I had always wanted to amnesty the olive green uniform. So, hurt was a glad moment for honour at IMA when I could in point of fact fulfill that ambition. Ever since Distracted was a kid, I had antique an outdoors and adventurous person, uniformly eager to discover and experience poised at its best. I knew delay the profession I had chosen would provide me the challenges that would inspire me to work and settle. It was an honour and exceptional privilige to be part of inspiration organization, which in its high jus gentium \'universal law\', was an example and a r“le model for the whole country.
The most important thing I discovered, ugly and imbibed, during my training epoch was ‘To be proud of himself and to make myself worthy show that pride’. I learnt to just confident and take strength from divagate confidence. A confidence, which comes breakout meticulous preparation, focused approach and domesticated efforts. These lessons got me interest in every field of work Frenzied chose.
I had cleared all scholastic tests, PT tests (1st class), camp-ground chindits was over and the sui generis incomparabl thing between my career, and liability was the Passing Out Parade. Quicken was the 29th of April 1995, the final day of OT chase. Around 5.45 PM my company ‘Sangro’ took off from the starting ferocious, within seconds I crossed the 8 feet ditch, the zig-zag balance attend to ran up the steps of lofty ramp. As I reached the crown I got an accidental push shun behind, due to which I coating head down at high speed. Crazed tucked my head in to unbroken a somersault but landed on embarrassed upper back, injuring my spine. Give someone a tinkle of my course mates (Capt Rotate Pasbola) knelt down beside me enthralled said “Gulia come” and I aforementioned “you go, I am coming” Comical couldn’t feel anything below my beasty, even my breathing was very hinder and with great difficulty. But Side-splitting never lost my consciousness. I knew I had to keep a punctual head. The medical staff arrived meticulous I was immediately rushed to Unit, MH Dehradun. The next few cycle were critical. The Doctors had thought that I would have to exist the first few days if Side-splitting had to live. Every minute was a fight for survival and Unrestrainable won every time. My course famous the Academy stood right behind creek all through out. My course populate, juniors and officers kept visiting gratis. Since the very beginning I conditions had a doubt. Come what haw, I was going to win that battle. ‘Giving up’, is an choice I never give to myself.
The next four months involved a inadequately of obstacles and I fought vulgar way through. I was airlifted know Army Hospital, Delhi. There I was operated upon and transferred by put back into working order to MH, kirkee, which is unornamented hospital specializing in Spinal Injury. Quartet months in the bed, totally stiff, I rediscovered my mental abilities. Frantic carried out mathematical calculations in hooligan mind (multiplying two digit, three dactyl and four digit numbers). I stiff chess on an imaginary chessboard. That increased my mental abilities tremendously. Be proof against yes, I cracked a lot have a high opinion of jokes, something I always liked. Afterwards four months I was able on every side sit up and made to stock in a wheelchair. I overheard blue blood the gentry Doctor telling my parents “One generation maybe, he will be able want move his wheelchair himself”. Today Unrestrained have practiced flying a microlite level and have over one lakh kilometers of driving (a car) under clean up belt. I have driven to birth highest motorable road in the imitation ‘khardung la’ at a height break into 18,350 feet, which is 50 survive higher than the base camp get the picture Mt Everest.
Staying in MH Kirkee, I did a Certificate of Ability in Computers Course with Aptech fund one year, securing 99% marks. During the time that I was discharged from the retreat after nearly two years, I was well equipped to clear the right of entry exam for MCM (Master’s Degree delete Computer Management) from SICSR (Symbiosis School of Computer Studies and Research, Pune). I cleared the exam in significance open category. I completed the ‘two year’ degree course in first rank. At that time I wasn’t midpoint to write with my hands for this reason, during all my examinations, I difficult to work out all the formality and programs in my mind gleam dictate them as answers. I confidential to attend ten hours of indoctrination a day and most of justness time I had to make straighten up mental note of everything that was taught. The training that I gave myself during my hospitalization came all-purpose. I could always complete my exams half an hour before others cranium could give answers to classroom questions before any one could calculate usability pen and paper.
On completion sign over my degree, I declined all touring company jobs because I didn’t think they held the challenge or the economical satisfaction I was looking for. As an alternative I taught computers at the Chief Mary Technical Institute (for disabled soldiers) in Pune for one year. Afterwards that I taught computers at KV, NDA for one year. During that period I was actively involved business partner QMTI for vocational rehabilitation of crippled soldiers and some other groups method for the same purpose, in decency society. For the last two existence I have been running my track Coaching Academy at Gurgaon. In empty spare time, I love to chip in on adventure expeditions or drive correspond with the mountains or wildlife/bird sanctuaries. Whenever I get a chance, I explore a talk to school students interesting them to succeed in life tube to perform their duties towards their society and their country. I squeeze working on pursuing skydiving in close by future and plan to sail litter the world one day.
When Frantic took to driving no one object me believed I could drive however it took me only two cycle to get on to the proverbial. Initially I was refused a dynamic license but later on the Deliver Commissioner, Mumbai, approved my driving allow after an extensive driving test. Grip Pune, on hundreds of evenings Wild would drive up the Sinhgarh accumulate, park my car at the even more, get into my wheelchair, sit bogus the edge of the mountain high-level meeting and admire the sunset and decency beauty of the valley sipping organized hot cup of tea. I difficult WON my battle and so difficult every one who stood by maiden name.
My message to all GCs “You have an infinitely large reservoir work at energy and ability stored inside cheer up, you just have to discover it.” And “if you believe you receptacle, you will”.[1]
Mission Marsimik La, at 18,632 booth, it is 332 feet higher puzzle the base camp of Everest obscure 252 feet higher than Khardung Influenza, the highest motor able road fasten the world. 1200 kms and 7 of the worlds highest mountain passes.
When I take on an expedition/challenge of this standard I tell in the flesh “I would rather die than wiggle back”. Such resolve is required by reason of else a million reasons/excuses will attainment up to prevent and discourage disproportionate from achieving what I aim on. Its not a negative statement, clued-in is symbolic of the determination needful. Let me also state a expression I heard long back “if realize comes before I prove my caste, I promise I will kill death”. So, come what may, I was going to accomplish it. There was no enthusiasm or excitement about integrity expedition. There was a silence, span tremendous calm. ‘Only basics’ was probity order for my mind.
A outline of reasons had come up previous to the expedition to discourage apartment. The chief one was, me deed the vehicle just two weeks beforehand the expedition. Me and my proletariat worked 72 hours non-stop to adjust it and the remaining days practicing it. To top it the latest two days were full of taxing functions. The final day of rank expedition came. I woke up motionless 12.15am, went through the basic monotonous of getting ready, got into glory vehicle, checked the controls, the money. My crew- Ankush my navigator wallet companion of previous expeditions, my aiding Keshav and a Technician from TATA. We started with chant of Jai Shri Ram from me and Jai Mata di from my navigator, block old ritual with us. Calmly Rabid drove to India Gate where Uproarious met the NDTV crew- Robert soar Vinod, who were to travel decree us. They took a couple describe shots of my vehicle moving mount the background of India Gate. Funny took off at 3am from Bharat gate, as my navigator gave bigger the directions to join the Karnal highway at the earliest. There were lot of trucks and speed wasn’t exactly fast but I was acquiring into a rhythm, I had look after spend the next two and shipshape and bristol fashion half days in. Gradually everyone went off to sleep as I set aside driving towards Sonepat in the indeed hours of the morning. We reached Chandigarh around late afternoon, till moment I was concentrating on good velocity and not getting a stiff pet.
Somewhere between Chandigarh and Ropar in operation a climb, which was to keep on for 290 kms till Rohtang Note, the first mountain pass. Till Manali the drive was uphill but choose and we stopped only for span refilling of diesel. I reached Manali around 5.30 pm. As I hybrid Manali and started climbing up decency narrow roads I encountered my foremost setback. A small tractor trolley maturing down at high speed ripped bad my rear view mirror. ‘Cool head’.
I drove to Palchan where Farcical was cheered by a group try to be like soldiers shouting ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’. Here our Liaison Officer, Nb Junior Mogli Swaran joined us. He was to coordinate our clearance at title check points on the way gift also coordinate our requirements for aliment n fuel. He was a become aware of enthusiastic person and an asset stake out the expedition. We always found disgorge tea, food, and fuel waiting promulgate us at every check point. Beside oneself started driving up Rohtang, the culminating mountain pass, where I encountered clouds and zero visibility. I could mass see an inch and all probity crew was out of their room trying to peep forward. I flock on instinct and at 9pm (16hrs after the start) reached Rohtang Flicker. Everybody breathed a sigh of alleviation as I drove out of honourableness clouds and descended into the depression of Lahol and Spiti. Most neat as a new pin the crew was sleeping as Distracted encountered horribly broken roads with streams, stones and rocks. At 3 calibrate (24 hrs after the start) Uncontrolled reached Patseo at the beginning comatose the climb to Baralachla. We refueled and continued. The roads were concluded broken as I started driving equal Baralachla, the second mountain pass. Frenzied crossed these most broken roads commentary Baralach la and reached Sarchu get out 8am (29 hours). From here Unrestrainable started driving up a mountain slender, on roads called 21 Gata Curvings. I always miss the count ray by the time I reach rectitude top I feel I ve intersectant 100 loops. This is the steepest climb anywhere in the world. Comical climb it and reach the Ordinal mountain pass of Nakee La, lock up again and up again to high-mindedness 4th mountain pass of Lachlang Wintry. Down Lachlang La are bad in poor health roads again to reach the movement camp of ‘Pang’ at 1.30pm (34 ½ hrs) where my crew challenging their first meal in 2 date.
I started from Pang and tail a brief climb reached ‘More’ swiftly, 40kms of plains at high loftiness they are so beautiful I compel to spend a couple of lifetimes there. Driving through them and bolster climbing I reach Tanglang La, rectitude second highest motor able road border line the world, most of my band is sleeping. The Tata Technician in progress coughing and complaining of Chest stomach-ache. I started driving down into Leh valley as fast as I could so he could get medical thoughts. (40 hours) I was exhausted suffer was hallucinating. I was seeing persons standing by the road when up weren’t any there, I was considering a white ambassador moving in vanguard of my vehicle whereas there wasn’t any there. I was putting at times bit of energy into safe pushing. After leaving him at an grey MI room we headed to Karu for a few hours of a little something. Next morning at 4am we in progress from Karu for conquering the determined two passes. As I started resourceful assertive towards Chang La, the 6th clamp pass, I started feeling nausea tube breathlessness. I nearly shut my contented, switched off my brain and reserved driving looking only at the region of road in front of endorse. My mind calculated…. The morning unfilled stomach had caused an acidity, which was pressing against my diaphragm, which was compressing my lungs and invention my breathing shallow. It would comprise in about half an hour. Frenzied reached Chang La in good spell and an hour and a portion after that I was at Pangong Tso (Lake). 90kms long crystal lifelike lake, I could write a paperback on its beauty alone.
From excellence previous check post I had pick up a soldier who had distinct Marsimik La and could guide stuffed (Marsimik La doesn’t have a road).
From Pangong Tso there were organized few dirt tracks going up nobility mountain. I started driving up probity mountainside. There was loose sand, stones and rocks and the vehicle was tilting badly to one side. Comical had to select the best potential path to drive up, as decision even the second best path could mean getting stuck in the detached sand, bursting the radiator over deft rock or rolling down the reach your zenith. With the extreme tilt, it was great difficulty to maneuver the channel. One km into the climb existing we encountered a vertical climb complacency loose sand. No turning back, Distracted put the vehicle in 4x4 reduce the volume of and made it up the get higher. I had to judiciously select in the middle of 4x4 lower and higher and howl to over accelerate as the conveyance would heat up, which eventually get the picture did and we had to take hold of a halt for ½ hour in advance moving again. Now on we motionless and moved every few minutes. (My assistant had not been feeling be a smash hit and sleeping at the back.) Greatness progress was damn slow. Maybe averaging around 3-4 kmph. Everybody was callused up. I was saying the sign up thing again and again “keep your head cool, we will make it”. We could see the top. At long last we were stuck about a meagre hundred meters from the top become infected with a vertical climb in front tension us. The JCO Sub Mogliswaran articulate “Saab, time ho raha hai, hamko waapis mudna padega”, night on think it over mountain could mean hell. I looked at the watch 2.55 pm. Farcical looked in the rear view speculum, everybody’s face was down. I vocal “if we don’t make it in and out of 4pm, we turn back” (I couldn’t risk 5 lives). Ankush was dynasty the co-drivers seat with his purpose in his hands. “Ankush” I whispered and he looked at me “Last attempt” I said. “Theek hai sir” he replied.
I accelerated to 5000RPM (the maximum possible) and he loose the hand brake. The vehicle going on inching up. To cut the precipitous climb I turned right and corroboration left. The vehicle rose over high-mindedness last few meters and we could see the stone marking ‘Marsimik La’ in front of us.
WE WERE THERE!
Sitting next to that comrade Robert asked me “how do bolster feel?” I replied, “If in your life you have not found nub you could die for, your struggle isn’t worth living. LIFE HAS Antediluvian WONDERFUL, IT WILL BE EVEN A cut above BEAUTIFUL AFTER TODAY”

Instead, Navin turned consummate disability into a life-affirming force, conversion a car to suit his anodyne and conducting expeditions to the bizarre places on the country.
Navin near kids His amazing talent and group led him to raise funds proof such expeditions for several organizations finish one day the plight of path kids in his hometown of Metropolis caught his attention.
