Katradhu Vaan Alavu - 2


Hi Friends,

I am back for the Episode - 2.

In Oct 87, soon after the Written Test (and ofcourse after having the stomach full of Lunch only) in the afternoon, the result was declared and I was one among those who were cleared for the selection. Since, the selection was generalised into the Technical Stream, there was one more test to put us into the appropriate Stream (Mechanical/Electrical), another one aptitude test was conducted and ofcourse, this one was also an Objective Type one like the one for which we were qualified.
We were called for the Medical Examination on the next day. When we came for the Medical, we were sent in batches. Each batch was having an intake of 10 and 05 each would be sent to either side of the room facing each other. The Medical Officer ordered us to get into the 'Birth Day Dress ?' and had been asked to cough for the medical reasons, best known to the Physicians. We were checked for the flat foot, knocked knee, eye sight, weight, height, chest with the expansion, Sugar, BP and verbal querries.

A Questionnaire was circulated, the questions (which I remember) were -

(a) Why you want to join IAF ? - My Reply - To get a Job

(b) If you happen to come across a NV, What will you do ? - My Reply - I will change the Dining table.

(c) Do you drink ? - My Reply - No.

On my come back, when I told these things to my Brother, my Brother told me better be prepared for getting into another job (as my response to the questionnaire were not in the interest of the IAF). Then I realised, and ofcourse not at all worried.

We were told that an intimation would be given to us if selected, a regret letter, if not selected.

C U all soon............

Hi Syam,

A flat foot is the foot which is flat in nature. Whoever has got the flat foot cannot run for quite some time and that is the reason we find a hollow in the foot, if there is a hollow and there cannot be any difficulty in running or smart walk for a long time. A Sportman hence cannot have a flat foot. Normally almost more than 75 - 85% people will not have flat foot.

You can make out the flat foot with your foot prints (especially when you came out of the toilet with the wet foot). If it is flat, you will find the full foot print and if it is not, there will be a hollow.

My dear buddy - I do drink the drinking water - Is it not a good habit ?

May God Bless.

Hi,
//Indha vaatiyum puliyodharai miss :-//
Let us have a secret agreement and when I publish the next post, I'd intimate, so that you would get Puliyodharai.
I am also unable to afford for Bacardi at this point of time.
