Its PT time....Hurry Up....Double up.

Saturday and sunday there is no PT. Ah... that reminds me that i should tell you something about PT. PT means physical training. It is compulsory and it is the most hated and most remembered part of the training. There is a saying that " What is most difficult to endure is often sweet to remember ".

The typical day at the Academy begins at 5 AM when the chaiwala wakes you up. It is expected that you get up, brush, shave and run to the Polo Ground that is around 1.5 km away.

And we all pray that it should rain in the morning because only then the PT is held indoors in the Badminton Courts which are very nearby. Our Course Director is and IPS person and belives in physical training to bring out the Officer in You.

Howmuch ever we may curse the PT it really feels good when one comes back at 7 am feeling refreshed,light and warm. After a week or so one really starts missing the PT despite its nuisance value.

In the evening there is again a compulsory PT for an hour after the classes at the end of which one is free to play any sport of his/her choice.

Its a Dream come true

It has been more than a week since i joined my training for Indian Administrative Service(IAS). The journey to Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), Mussorie has been long, hard and full of ups and downs.

Its a dream come true to be in this training. I will be sharing my views on the trainging experience through this blog.

The official training started on 31.08.2009. There is a lot happening and you can come back here to read more. For now this is my photo when i entered the Academy for the first time.
