Drill is an important part of a Cadet’s life. It inculcates a sense of
discipline, improves bearing, smartness in appearance and turn out,
arises self-confidence, develop the quality of immediate and implicit
obedience to orders and teamwork. In addition to these qualities, drill
brings about the co-ordination between mind and body and serves as the
basis for imparting, other service training. Drill is the most efficient way
of moving a number of people from one place to the next. Instead of
having a group of individuals meandering slowly, we have an organized,
efficient team with a clearly defined purpose and direction. Drill is also an
extremely good exercise in team-work. There are no individuals in a team;
here everyone performs the manoeuvre in exactly the same time in

E-mails are also an effective mode of communication at workplace. For
better relations at workplace, try to communicate through written modes
of communication. Be careful about the content of the e-mail and make
sure they are self-explanatory. Using capital letters in e-mails is considered
to be rude and loud. Do not share any information with any of your fellow
workers verbally. Mark him/her a mail and do keep your boss in the loop.

Major Shaitan Singh was commanding a company of an infantry battalion
deployed at Rezang La in the Chushul Sector at a height of about 17,000
feet. The locality was isolated from the main defended sector and
consisted of five platoon-defended positions. On 18th November 1962, the
Chinese forces subjected the company position to overwhelming strength
in several successive waves. Against heavy odds, our troops beat back
successive waves of enemy attack. During the action, Major Shaitan Singh
dominated the scene of operations and moved at great personal risk from
one platoon post to another, sustaining the morale of his hard-pressed
platoon posts. While doing so he was seriously wounded but continued to
encourage and lead his men who following his brave example, fought
gallantly and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy. For every man lost
to us, the enemy lost four or five. When Major Shaitan Singh fell disabled
by wounds in his arms and abdomen, his men tried to evacuate him but
they came under heavy machine-gun fire. Major Shaitan Singh then
ordered his men to leave him to his fate in order to save their lives.
